Guys, we’ve talked about this before, an area where women don’t even have to struggle at all to make us look like morons. Unfortunately far too many men find out the value of an annual physical, a regular checkup, when they discover that they have a...

Skin cancer is the most common cancer among both men and women in the US. Life insurance underwriters have shown a lot of movement on their underwriting guidelines for skin cancer over the past several years. Unfortunately, until recently, it didn’t seem to be...

We’ve blogged long and hard for years about the obesity epidemic in our country and the high cost the participants are paying in added health problems, shorter life spans and higher life insurance premiums. So, not that we had anything to do with it, but hats...

At least a dozen times a week I get an opportunity to review someone’s current and historical health with them. I’m on a fact finding mission with the goal of getting each person the best possible life insurance rates they can expect in their unique...

This is an area involving life insurance that is receiving more and more attention and a topic where the troops (life insurance agents) are definitely divided. A life settlement involves the sale of your policy to a third party. The third party takes over ownership,...

Eat your vegetables! They’re good for you!…….Yes Mom. Actually it didn’t come down quite like that for me. Most vegetables I grew up with were some strange strain that came in a can. A distinctly different species from what comes out of a...

In my experience it is the guys in this world that not the brightest lights on the block when it comes to preventive measures like using sunscreen, wearing hats and not overexposing themselves to the sun. I would put my money on men to be the first sex to be...

There aren’t many weeks that go by without hearing from someone who has finally figured out that they should have life insurance…..because their own mortality has been flashed before their eyes. This can come in the form of losing a friend or loved one or...

For all that have been following my posts on breast cancer, and specifically by mother’s breast cancer, I thank you for your prayers. As I have mentioned before, my Mom is not in the market for life insurance, but I believe that her experience and process offers...

As discussed last week, in an effort to kind of lay out the process that a woman goes through when diagnosed with breast cancer, my Mom has been gracious enough to let me talk about her experience. I believe there is some very real relevance in that, if my Mom was a...

To a guy this makes perfect sense. From my own experience I can tell you that most women, especially those married to guys that feel fine, don’t share that philosophy. Unlike us guys, they think doctors are serious about the importance of annual physicals and...

Thank you again for all the prayers on my Mom’s behalf. She had a sentinel node biopsy of the lymph nodes yesterday and it showed that cancer had in fact migrated from her breast at least to the nearest lymph nodes. I will continue to follow her process in this...

There is a real tendency in our society to brand the morbidly obese as taking the easy way out of the problem they’ve created by considering gastric bypass surgery. Gastric bypass reduces the size of the stomach by stapling off the majority. This causes massive...
