Instead of focusing on what you eat, our 30-day eating challenge emphasizes how you eat. And the results? They could be transformational. ++++ “You want the next level stuff?”...
Most of us think we know what stress is and how it feels: A pounding heart when we’re awakened at 3 a.m. by the sound of breaking glass. The need to pee five times before we deliver a presentation. A temper bomb that explodes when our entire day goes sideways. But another, more subtle kind of stress can lurk...
The magazines got it wrong. Sure, the promise of “six-pack abs” might be motivating at the airport newsstand. But as soon as your flight’s delayed, it’s an easy goal to forget.

Jon McLernon’s heart was racing. “Go to the hospital,” a voice screamed inside his head. “You’re dying.” But he wasn’t dying, and he knew it.
