Well, just when life insurance underwriters and doctors think they’re on the same page, and they believe it’s the right page, someone kicks the door down and throws a wrench in their thinking. In search of a way to control diabetes, and specifically type 2...

Well, I’ve got your good news and your bad news. You know how I’ve gone on and on about all of the collateral health issues attributable to obesity. Now there is a study that indicates that people who are obese may in fact have lower health care costs than...

The deeper I get involved with the life insurance possibilities for people with bipolar disorder, the more I am convinced that it has not been an intentionally abused block of clients as much as it has been and understudied and overlooked group. When I was first...

With all the political spin put on health care and how to handle all of those who are uninsured or under insured, maybe, just maybe, the emphasis ought to be on education and prevention as much as or even more than treatment. A study just released shows that type 2...

Ahh, my morning cup of coffee! And the second one. Now we’re talking….maybe a bit too fast, but we are definitely talking. It’s fun to watch the cudos and cabashes that coffee takes. It’s a rare month that goes by when coffee isn’t...

With my 2007 reward for Redundiferous Excellence safely tucked away on my office shelf, I am, like Tiger Woods and the Fedex Cup, shooting for two in a row. I hope that I have left no chance unturned to drive home the point that life insurance underwriters want to see...

It’s an election year and in case you haven’t heard what we’ve spent on the war on terror, or in Afghanistan, or in Iraq, just turn on the evening news and I assure you that you will catch a sound bite from someone talking about all that money....

I was asked a few days ago to be interviewed, as a high school assignment, on the subject of obesity and insurance rates. The core question was concerning the fairness of charging higher rates for someone who is overweight. Rebecca Kuo, a student from Houston, TX was...

There are essentially three treatment methods for blocked arteries of the type that can lead to a heart attack. The original and still widely used vessel bypass surgery, angioplasty with a stent inserted in the vessel, and for minor blockage, medication to reduce the...

It’s no secret that obesity is one of the leading risk factors for the onset of type 2 diabetes. Left alone, the combination of the two can be the start of a downward health slide that leads to heart disease and other major health issues. I’ve talked to...

I have gone on before about how your doctors lack of attempt to educate patients on their health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease has led to poor treatment compliance and often has led to complications or collateral health issues that could have been...

I have emailed an article I read today to all of the underwriters I work with. While many are on board with the idea that all bipolar is created equal and that all bipolar should be declined life insurance, there are still some hanging on to their worst fears like a...

Well, Mr Doom and Gloom here. I’ve often talked about the good news for people with diabetes that need life insurance, generally layered thickly with a reminder of all the reasons you should carefully monitor and treat your diabetes for your own good reasons....

In my passion to ensure that the world understands the risks of cancer, obesity and diabetes, I have often referred to heart disease, coronary artery disease, as a collateral health issue. What I have neglected to do is give the number one killer of men and women the...

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been blogging a lot on the subject, or dealing with life insurance underwriters and doing research, but bipolar seems to be popping up everywhere in my world. I hear the word more. I see more ads on TV for treatment...
