Hi all, I know; it’s Thursday morning and this is supposed to be Cycling Wednesday. My excuse is a good one. I bought an Iphone 5 yesterday and then became hypnotized by the inanimate object. Time flies with a new Apple product. Bedtime came and I said, “Crap…it’s Wednesday!.” Anyways, I was scanning the recent […]

The treatment of atrial fibrillation continues to encompass a greater percentage of my practice. Sometimes I feel less like a cardiologist and more like an afib-ologist. The persistently rapid growth of this disease in our population boggles my mind. Really folks, this is not hyperbole; this is fact. Like all things cardiac, the focus is […]
Hi all, I’m going to take my own advice tonight. I’ve got an early meeting and some big cases to do tomorrow. Good sleep forms one of the four legs of the table of health. Plus, it feels so good. Seriously, try it some time. It’s a potent anti-inflammation elixir. I’ll leave with you this […]
You have watched the videos. Heard the testimonials. Read the books. Floyd’s was a little sketchy, but the frankness and details of Tyler’s connected the dots. You re-watched the videos. How could he ride those guys off his wheel so easily? You still aren’t convinced. You want to believe, which of course is a normal […]
Sorry folks. Tonight’s post will be brief. I wasn’t planning to, but I watched the debates. I planned to listen to the first few minutes, you know, just to get the flavor of the thing. But then they drew me in. It was good, refreshing in fact, that they actually mentioned some details. You’ve had […]

Finding normal–after summer vacation.
I had better write something. It’s butt to chair time. A warning: this is a blog–and I’m practicing…blogging. Time away is supposed to rejuvenate the mind and body. Rest is good; rest breathes new life; rest soothes the inflammation of over-achievement. Sometimes however, rest, like lots of things, runs amok. That’s human nature. Dang vacation. […]
As a cyclist, I’m often asked why authorities will not stop investigating Lance. It’s over and done with. It’s all in the past. What’s more, if they took his Tour titles away whom would they give them to? Most of his rivals have either admitted doping or been busted. Let’s be in the moment and […]
It’s going to have to be brief tonight. The data from today: 7 bottles, 4 water stops, 110 degrees and 2200+ calories. (Strava proof.) Needless to say, as I type, my legs are on the brink of locking up. My brain feels as if it’s shrunk down in my head. Even this Retina screen looks […]
You make promises to yourself, right? I made a big one when starting this blog. It was a promise not to post Pollyanna-ish health advice. People can read about the importance of wearing sunscreen and getting basic vaccines anywhere–and everywhere. But tonight is different. I’m taking the risk. (Give me a chance; I’ll do my […]
I’ve got a good steer for you all this Wednesday. I discovered a nifty new cycling toy. It’s called Strava—a Swedish word that translates to ‘strive.’ (Ed Note: Thanks to commenter, Bill H for the link.) Strava isn’t food though. It’s an application (or app) that uses GPS information collected from a smartphone or Garmin […]
Commentary on the latest nutrition and exercise science will have to wait. I just whacked my head on low-hanging fruit for Cycling Wednesday. Today’s Washington Post report on Lance Armstrong’s newest (and most serious) doping allegations has set Twitter and Facebook abuzz. Though The United States Anti-Doping Agency (or USADA) cannot bring criminal charges, their […]
