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...

In an effort to serve more completely the needs of those whose health can make getting affordable life insurance a challenge, Hinerman Group is moving ahead with new “health challenge specific” websites. My passion has always been to foster discussion and...

I am always surprised by the number of cigarette smokers who inquire about life insurance and when they find out what the cost is, they suddenly lose all interest. The difference in cost is likely no where near what they are spending on the habit, but they...

Over the years, North American Ccmpany for Life and Health has moved in and out of the impaired risk spot light. Overall though, they would have to be judged as one of the better small companies out there. North American isn’t one of the big boys, but they are...

Whether it type 1 diabetes and your choice of insulin types, or type 2 diabetes and your choice of the 5000 oral medications on the market, all anyone with diabetes is looking for is a way to take the stress off their body. In a post yesterday, Allie Beatty wondered...

Here I go again! The truth is that affordable life insurance is out there for those with diabetes, but the life insurance underwriter mantra, “monitoring, compliance and control”. Oops, that’s just 3. I just read an article on 7 steps for good...

There are life insurance agents and there are people who also sell life insurance. What does that small difference mean to you? I talk with my Farmers agent every so often about my auto or homeowners and he inevitably asks how business is going. It really leaves him...

A lot more weight loss this week. They did it while on vacation in Jamaica. Congratulations to all of them. I can tell you that I’ve certainly never lost weight on a tropical vacation. Again, the drama and game of the show is not my focus. Obesity carries some...

Yes, I know I’m a week behind on tracking the Biggest Loser stats, and I promise to have all the new numbers posted before tomorrow’s show. I have been attempting to reach someone connected to the NBC Biggest Loser reality weight loss show concerning their...

I met a guy in Hatch, Ut the other day along our way to Bryce and Zion National Parks. He had a compelling story to tell about beating obesity and how it saved his life. He had lived most of his life in Branson, MO and about five years ago had decided to end annual...

So here I am, sitting in a hot spring pool with my wife in Ouray, Colorado. (Actually, we’re back at the camper now). We’re on a road trip with out new camp trailer and took a few hours to soak. After about half an hour of hot spring bliss, my mind wanders...

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...

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...
