My AI wellness plan has essentially eliminated bread from my daily routine, and while I understand the reasoning, I wanted to know whether bread is actually bad for you, or is this just another food rule that sounds more scientific than it actually is? 

By day 14, I've realized that so much of my life - my joy, my entertainment, my social connections - has been built around food and drink. And now I feel... limited. Like maybe that version of fun is over for me. 

By day 13 I found myself getting a little philosophical. Why does every weight loss plan seem so generic? Why don't they tell you if the advice is meant for men, women, younger people, or those of us who are 61 and dealing with completely different metabolic realities? The answer, as it turns out, is both fascinating and somewhat infuriating. 

Day12 brought me face-to-face with one of the most frustrating aspects of changing eating habits: the "just one" trap. I thought I could handle eating just one chip. Spoiler alert - I couldn't. Before I knew it, I'd eaten half the bowl, sitting there wondering what the hell just happened.

There's something about day 11 that feels different from the first week. The early days were carried by excitement and the novelty of the new routine. Now it's about discipline and creating lasting habits, which honestly requires a different kind of mental energy. 

Things are still going well but I'm finding myself now facing another challenge. I'm starting to get a little tired of what I've been eating. It's not that the plan isn't working, because it clearly is, but the monotony is beginning to wear on me. 

Nine days into my AI supported wellness journey and everything is going well. But I wanted to better understand the science behind this and specifically the impact our gut health has on our health.

After completing the first week of my 30-day AI-assisted wellness experiment I stepped on the scale. I was delighted! Guess what I'm doing seems to be working - but will it (or me) last the 30 days? 

Looking back over these seven days, I've successfully navigated restaurants, social events, fatigue-induced cravings, and built what feels like a sustainable routine. But I'm also realizing that I have a reward system that needs some rewiring.

Things are going along well but on day 6 I experienced an unexpected challenge. After I ate my dinner I still felt hungry and found myself fighting intense cravings, especially for sugar and bread. What's that all about?

As I wrap up day 5, I've been feeling quite full so far and I had a nagging question that challenged one of my fundamental beliefs about weight loss. Could I lose weight without feeling hungry?

By Day 4 of my AI Wellness Experiment I'm starting to feel like I'm getting into a routine. But one thing is still on my mind - how will I feel if I don't actually lose any weight?

On Day 3 everything seems to be going well so far but I have a bigger test approaching: a wine and cheese event. While the smaller gatherings with close friends felt manageable, this larger event presents a different kind of challenge for me.

It's only been two days in my AI Wellness Experiment and I found myself feeling fatigued. Was this normal? I asked my AI wellness coach for advice.

All too often we think that once we leave our careers, our stress will leave us too. But as retired Inspector Lance Valcour shares, this often isn't the case.

How long can you stand on one leg? This simple test may be able to help you know how well you are aging.

Day 1 of my 30 Day AI wellness experiment was pretty uneventful except for the one thing I dreaded the most. Facing my reality on scale.

Everyone hopes to live a long, healthy and happy life. If you're looking for some ideas of different ways to help you do this, here is a list of twenty five things to consider adding to your lifestyle.

At 61, I was facing the uncomfortable truth: my health was sliding into the "not great" category. But my motivation to get healthier was different this time along with my fascination with AI. Could combining these two things be a winning wellness combination?

We often hear that "60 is the new 40". But what if you don't feel that way and think your best years are behind you. This is the question that was posed to our Retirement Coach Toni.

At age 95, Catherine Kuehn was a world record deadlifter. What is even more amazing, is that she only started lifting weights in her 80's.

Often one of the first things people plan to do in retirement is exercise. But sometimes it doesn't work out that way. Retirement Coach Toni shares her advice on how to get going.

There is a significant disconnect between what millions of older people eat and what experts believe is a healthy diet conducive to increased longevity. Why is this?

The transition to retirement is a significant life change. But knowing how to stay engaged and connected can make this truly an amazing time of life.
