Why would a sports medicine physician teach fitness classes? It's a common question I hear all the time. My belief is that being a doctor is as much about preventing illness and injury as it is about treating these problems after they happen. Across the spectrum of the human body, no drug is as effective as the medicine of exercise. For that reason, I have focused my attention on preventive health using the medicine of fitness. In addition to my busy sports medicine practice, I have developed the world's biggest, free-standing, physician-led exercise clinic. My goal is to prescribe the medicine of exercise to my IronStrength community, thousands of people who sh…

Sacconaghi: Bullish on Tesla long-term Thursday, 9 Mar 2017 | 12:20 PM ET | 05:46 Elon Musk's Tesla is a growing player in China, where the global fight to develop electric, self-driving cars is raging hot. Hong-Kong traded Tencent, a company best known for its WeChat messaging app, disclosed in a Tuesday filing that it's taken a 5 percent stake in Tesla for $1.78 billion. The investment follows Tencent's new stake in taxi-hailing app Didi Chuxing, which can be accessed through WeChat.

Last month I was in Kyoto, Japan (beautiful by the way), eating at a sushi restaurant when it happened. I picked up my bowl of miso soup, sipped it politely, then immediately gasped because I’d just gulped down soy sauce. (In my defense, it was a dark restaurant and the bowl was dark colored, so you couldn’t see the color of the liquid.) That’s right, I drank soy sauce! My face turned red and embarrassment set in. I was already experiencing culture shock and jet lag from arriving in Asia, and my inner critic started to criticize me and say, “You can’t do anything right. You are such a bad traveler. Anyone would know that wasn’t soup.” Needless to say, I felt like a big lo…

Assistant Attorney General Rock Wood, who represented the legislators, told Judge Ellen Carmody Thursday that courts generally only lift the veil of internal communications for criminal cases and for civil cases involving voting rights and redistricting, as reported by the Detroit Free Press. “There would be no reason to make an exception for the Tesla lawsuit,” Wood said. Wood went on to say that if Carmody allows access to lawmakers’ records in such a case, there will be a raft of lawsuits aimed at harassing and intimidating lawmakers to the extent that “legislators are spending all their time on this, and can’t legislate,” Wood said. Tesla attorney John …

The former Soviet Republic of Georgia is planning a new bill that will legally punish irreverence toward religion. However, concerns have been raised the 'blasphemy bill' could be used against any organization who does not follow the church's principles. The bill has been approved by committee, and according to The Guardian, is headed for the parliamentary floor. If passed, the bill will impose a fine of 100 lari, equivalent to $120 USD, for insults to religious feeling. The penalty will then be doubled if the offense is committed a second time. Religious minorities fear the bill may be used to guard the interests of the influential Georgian Orthodox Church. Wh…

Dive Brief: An 18-month study by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that 21 adults aged 50-90 taking a twice-daily 90-mg curcumin supplement saw their memory function improve by an average of 28% over that period, according to Forbes. Depression scores also improved, while those of a control group stayed the same.

The researchers concluded that taking a bioavailable curcumin supplement daily may lead to improved memory and attent…

On the day he clinched the Republican presidential nomination, Donald Trump also sparred with a reporter over his use of the nickname “Pocahontas” to describe Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). When asked at a press conference Thursday in North Dakota about Warren’s most recent string of tweets criticizing him, Trump said, “Who? Pocahontas?” Someone in the crowd asked whether the statement was offensive. “Is it offensive? You tell me,” Trump replied. “It’s very offensive,” Nicole Robertson, a reporter who is Native American, responded. “Sorry.” Trump went on to bash Warren for failing to document her claim that she is Native American and criticized her for …

The Reimann family (believed to be the second-wealthiest in Germany with a $37 billion fortune) just confirmed its past support for the Nazi regime following a report alleging as much in one of Germany’s most popular papers. This is the family behind JAB Holdings. And even if you don’t know JAB, you know JAB. It’s sunk about $60 billion into acquiring brands that dominate many Americans’ morning routines—from Peet’s and Keurig Green Mountain coffee to Panera Bread and Einstein Bros. Bagels. Now-deceased members of the Reimann family used Russian civilians and French POWs as forced labor for their businesses and private villas during the Third Reich, and they con…
