Gimme an “N.” Gimme an “A.” Gimme a “P.” Gimme an “S.” All toggether now . . . let’s hear it for “NAPS.” Why, you may wonder, is a Bulletproof blogger like me talking about a putatively slacker endeaver like napping. Simply because those 15-20 minute sojourns into relaxation land really can do a lot for

Regular readers of this space know that the theme of personal renewal is a recurring subtext in the Bulletproof blog. I often talk about starting fresh, about coming to grips with difficult personal challenges and re-framing them into fertile ground for positive change. Men’s health issues are a telling indicator of how that can happen. Positive health

Getting a colonoscopy screening test is one of the most important — yet often overlooked — midlife medical checkups a guy can take. Getting your colonoscopy won’t be the most enjoyable item on your to-do list when the day comes for your test, as I readily admit in my “Bulletproof” talks on men’s health. But getting

Last Sunday night’s Grammy telecast brought a decidedly unexpected moment. Not Cee-Lo Green’s dual nominations but no win for “Forget You,” the song I happily cannot get out of my head these days.

An experience last weekend reminded me of what ubridled joy after a football game feels like. And that experience reminded me how lucky I am to be alive. I was among the fans at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas last Sunday cheering on the Green Bay Packers to a 31-25 victory in Super Bowl XLV. It

I am marking a personal milestone this weekend. And I’m giving thanks. Saturday marks my fifth Christmas Day since surviving an aortic dissection and stroke. That’s a big anniversary for me. Hey . . . every single day is a big anniversary for anyone who survives an aortic dissection. That’s because the mortality rate from

Before I suffered a stroke several years ago, I saw myself as a world class “multitasker.” Maybe you see yourself that way, too. Plenty of bulletproof executives do. They rise in management ranks based on perceived “multitasking” skills — the ability to simultaneously manage people, projects, and work flow to achieve a desired outcome on

The New York City Marathon is set for Sunday, which triggers for me a flood of memories recalling my own 26.2-mile odyssey through the city’s five boroughs on a painfully swollen knee. I ran the NYC Marathon just once. My 1979 race became a 5-plus hour slog achingly impeded by tendonitis in my left knee.

Memory loss. Experts say that it will be one of the major challenges facing aging Baby Boomers in the coming years. That means a huge segment of the U.S. population will be coming to terms with memory gaps, memory breakdowns that hamper their ability to recall memories. Some aging Boomers joking refer to these gaps as “senior
