I had a client come in to see me the other day. This fellow is a high paid lawyer who works for the upper echelons on Parliament Hill here in Ottawa, Ontario. And when you work for the powers that be, whether in the Prime Minister’s office or one of the mandarins, you have to produce.
And you have to be sharp! Like a razor blade, your mind has to be functioning with all cylinders firing.

When it comes to our health, we like to think that we are in control. And if we are not in control, a quick visit to our family doctor will put it back into our control. Once person I was working with recently told me, completely serious when he said this, I’m in great health! When I asked him if he were on any medications, he then listed one drug after the other.

As we get into our 40′s and older, our bodies just don’t seem to keep up like they used to. In fact, we start going downhill even in our 30′s. We just
start to realize it in our 40′s. Vision not quite as good as it once once, hearing not quite as sharp. And your verve, your zest for life isn’t quite what it used to be.
It seems that even though we are trying to do everything we can to stay young, we are aging. What’s going on?
Some us take multivitamins to stay healthy. And others run or jog religiously, all to stay young. But it doesn’t work. Arthritis, mood changes, loss of libido and even depression
