We’ve talked about the effects of stress on health and we’ve even talked about how mild stress channeled effectively can increase productivity. I’ve shared a few times what a huge relief a vacation is to the overall stress of especially work life....

Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA), or mini strokes occur when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked temporarily. With a TIA, the blockage, usually a blood clot, sticks in place long enough to cause symptoms, and then moves on and is absorbed by the body without...

Mitral valve prolapse sounds a little ominous, and to see the knee jerk reaction some life insurance companies have when they underwrite it, you would swear it was right up there with heart attacks. Not so. Mitral valve prolapse is simply a slight thickening in one of...

There really isn’t anything funny about this situation, but I always find myself shaking my head and thinking how odd it is! I talked to a man who inquired about life insurance today. He had an extraordinary health history. He had type 2 diabetes diagnosed about...

On my soapbox again. I have commented frequently on what I consider to be a shortcoming with the majority of doctors, their lack of attempt to educate their patients on their condition and how to pro actively take care of themselves. Some of the most poignant examples...

The Rock!! I bring Pru up every once in a while simply because they seem to be a company that is out to make a difference in the life insurance business. Other companies are competitive, and Prudential isn’t the answer to every life insurance question, but they...

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...

Every once in a while I get hit with a client who just doesn’t see the value in seeing a doctor. The old “if it ain’t broke” attitude. Why see a doctor if you aren’t sick? According to CNN.com 43% of men get annual physicals. I’m...

We have been gutting term life insurance this week starting with a look at an actual policy. Being a contract as it is, there are plenty of definitions and clauses and options and such. So my previous posts didn’t get too hefty, I picked out a few items to...

When it comes to reasons why life insurance quotes change, right up there with being 10 pounds off on knowing your true weight, is not having a clue what your cholesterol is and finding out on the exam that it’s out of whack. So what’s the fuss with...

Thanks to a discount provided by Genworth Life and Annuity, since I have life insurance through them, and thanks to my wife who doesn’t want me to die because she likes my blogs more than anything she can find on Oprah.com, I had a screening today of my carotid...

I know when a serious health problem strikes a family member it seems as if the world is crumbling. There is a deep need for a life buoy of some kind out there that will take some of the edge off of the situation. This is the point at which I get many calls wanting to...

It’s been one of those weeks that will drive me to repeating myself. I know I just smacked doctors over the head a few days ago about how they don’t quite explain all the relevant details to their patients. That really puts the patient in a awkward...

Doctors are famous for leaving out details. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve talked to whose doctors only told them the feel good parts of their health issue. It is fairly common for a heart attack victim to get stress test follow ups. When I ask them...

Whatever the name it’s given for a particular situation, death bonds, viaticals, investor owned life insurance, life settlement…..it all comes down to a large step away from what life insurance ought to be, and a blemish on the integrity of the life...
