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...

Other than the fact that you can get good news about bipolar and life insurance from my blog most anyday, there aren’t a lot of folks spreading good news about bipolar. A recent University of Pittsburgh study has shed some light on the use of light boxes as a...

This is one fascinating world we live in. I see so many people that bend over backwards to make sure that no matter what happens, their family will not miss a financial beat. They recognize and care deeply about what would happen if they didn’t show up at the...
