I had my first colonoscopy last year. I probably would have put it off for quite a while longer, but my wife had one done and kind of shamed me in to it. Anyway, it wasn’t as unpleasant as I had imagined and the results were good. I was told I didn’t need...

A few weeks back I wrote a post on different aspects of life insurance policy, the guts if you will. In that post I covered the grace period and reinstatement. In a nutshell, if you are late with a payment your policy goes into a grace period. See the first page of...

Just when we get lulled into a sense of security about the postive attributes of alcohol as a deterrent for heart disease, someone shows up and ruins the party. In a very recent study, it appears there may be a significant link between alcohol use and breast cancer....

I’ve been following NBC’s reality weight loss show Biggest Loser from a life insurance and health education view point. This had to be a tough week psychologically on the participant’s, as there was a lot of hard work going on and very few dropped...

With Life Insurance Awareness Month drawing to close I wanted to share a very compelling video clip from a talk given in Washington, DC by Molly Shannon, a former cast member of Saturday night live. While she (no surprise) starts with a chuckle, she soon gives her...

I received a copy of a news release this morning from NAIFA, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, and I wanted to pass it on to you. I think the message of Life Insurance Awareness is a vital and important message. I think that our Congress...

Life insurance underwriters have their hands full trying to sort through all of the possibilities with an applicant suffering an anxiety disorder. I had in my mind that it was just this simple. People had depression and they were down. People had anxiety disorders and...

At least there are a few good things about sleep apnea. First, who needs a doctor when your spouse can diagnosis it for you? Second, and a little more seriously, once diagnosed it is very treatable. Sleep apnea is a challenging underwriting task for life insurance....

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women. As with men, the most common is skin cancer. Over 40,000 women will die from breast cancer this year and that represents a steady decrease in the number of breast cancer deaths since 1990. Some important...

In a few previous posts I had discussed the heart imaging test called an Ultra Fast CT scan. Touted by those who own the machines as the best early warning device for coronary artery disease, the machines and the tests have also had a multitude of critics due to the...

I remember as a child that I ran my parents ragged trying to keep up with me. I had feet and legs in good operating order, a bike whose operating order was questionable, and a passion to be busy from daylight to bedtime. I wore my parents out just trying to keep tabs...

I feel like I’m in a movie, a thriller called Universal Life Exposed. Rather than getting the movie right and then releasing it, each time a viewer doesn’t get the plot, we re-shoot the movie. So, Universal Life Exposed, scene 1, take...

I attempted to share some of my thoughts on obesity and health issues, and how NBC was in a unique position to speak to the problem with their huge audience for semi-reality show Biggest Loser. I attempted to comment on Ali’s blog. Alison Sweeny is apparently a...

In writing an article on gestational diabetes for our new website that will go live this coming week, I was discussing risk factors and up pops obesity……again. It seems that almost without fail, no matter what the health issue, obesity either helps cause...
