Night Owls Should Give A Hoot About Health Risks of Staying Up Late
Are you a night owl or an early bird? Do you burn the midnight oil or are you early to bed, early to rise?
It is customary now to divide people into morning and evening people.
The morning type has peak performance in the morning. They are perky, get up easily and get started with work with a clear head. This is as it is supposed to be in nature.
Then there is the evening type, who is at peak performance in the afternoon or evening. They have difficulty waking up and can't function without their coffee. It takes them more effort to concentrate on a morning task and they often don’t seem cheerful until later in the day...

Get Your “Green Smoothie” On – A Delicious Way to Drink Your Veggies
Smoothies can be a smart food choice any time of day. They make a quick and healthy meal when you’re pinched for time. They’re great for exercise recovery because they have carbohydrates and protein. They’re an easy way to get more fruits and vegetables, which are packed with vitamins and minerals to give you energy.
My favorite smoothie is “green” – super simple. Just add frozen banana, spinach, and protein powder to a blender. Toss in a little ice and push GO!
But your smoothie can be any color of the rainbow. So get creative.
Basic Fruit and Veggie Smoothie “Recipe”:

Is Obesity a Result of Poverty or Food Marketing?
If you can't afford to eat natural and organic foods, there is not doubt you will obese. People who are poor can't help but be unhealthy and, for some, obese, because the quality of the foods theuy are taking in are deplorable.
It's hard to disagree with that. As a matter of fact a congressional challenge in the 2010 actually resulted in unexpected findings. Several Congress people were asked to try and live on a food stamp diet, meaning only spend what would normally be given per week in food stamps, for 7 days, in order to raise awareness about hunger and budget cuts. But what resulted was also a lesson in the qualit...

On the Road Again (Part 1)
By Scott Coulter
In a few days, I'll be hitting the road on a short tour playing music. We'll be starting off in Philadelphia, heading west through Tennessee and Chicago to Colorado, and returning home through Ohio and central Pennsylvania. In all, I'll be on the road for two weeks, and I thought it might be interesting to keep a journal of sorts to share with readers.
Living with diabetes on the road presents unique challenges, particularly for a musician at my level of "touring." I'm not hopping onto a full-fledged tour bus, playing arenas, and staying in nice hotels each night. I'm hopping into a conversion van with fou...

Progress report
It's now been three and a half years since I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and began my quest to cure myself. Although I have not achieved the dramatic recovery I was hoping for my condition appears to be generally stable and this can be considered an acheivement given that the tendency for CKD patients is to gradually lose kidney function until replacement or death becomes necessary. Here are my findings and tips to date so that others may benefit from them (none of which should be construed as medical advice!):

HBO's "The Weight of the Nation": Obesity on the Brain
SBB has talked a lot about how drug addiction is a complicated brain disease. But it’s not the only one. Obesity also involves the brain and is the subject of an HBO special that takes a serious look at this complex problem. The 4-hour documentary series “The Weight of the Nation” covered everything from fatty liver disease in overweight children to how humans are wired to find pleasure in food to how our food supply has changed over the years. If you missed it in mid-May, you can go to HBO’s Web site and see it for free. To get a better idea of the obesity problem, check out this creative infographic, “Obesity: ...

Update and reflections
Lab resultsCreatinineMy latest creatinine tests show no change at 2.1mg/dL. This level has remained constant since about january.
UltrasoundAn ultrasound scan revealed:
Three of my four kidney stones have disappeared (without specific treatment). This is a relief as it's something less to worry about. My first nephrologist had prescribed what I felt was an aggresive course of 3 different drugs to try and clear the stones, and I decided against taking them (I stopped consulting that nephrologist). The remaining stone is 6mm and apparently it's position is favorable for “passing” (although I wasn't a...
