Human potential is one of my greatest interests. Thinking about what we have accomplished as humans is mind-blowing. And what intrigues me most is wondering what we are actually capable of that we have not yet realized. It’s fun to think about what it is that we might be able to achieve as a species,…
1. Interview I did this week… Most of you know that we run a weight loss program in our office and remotely. The amazing transformations we get to see and the incredible stories we get to hear are what drive us to continue doing what we do. This week, I interviewed Dan, one of our…
If there is one thing that is seriously disappointing about the past 20+ months (and the list is long!), it is the reinforced idea that health comes from the outside-in. We’ve been on a path for the past 100 years, led by the current healthcare system and model, and look where we are at. We’re…
1. Video clip I loved this week… My brother, Greg, sent me this 2-minute video. I loved it. I think you will too. 2. Toys for Tots drive we are having… This year marks the 24th year we will be collecting toys for Toys for Tots. If you are looking for a place to give…

1. Upsetting (and alarming) thing that happened to me this week… I have written articles every week in the three local papers (Aurora, Hudson, and Twinsburg) for roughly 17 years. These articles are the same as the blogs I post every Tuesday on my site (drbizjak.com). This week, the paper WOULD NOT publish my article,…
Some of the hardest words to speak are it’s my fault. It is human nature to make excuses, point fingers at others, and blame anything we can for our shortcomings and failures. Maybe you weren’t given the correct information, or had bad parents, or grew up in the wrong neighborhood, or (my favorite) got bad…
1. Healthier snack I have been looking for… Nuts are a healthy snack, and I eat quite a bit of them. I prefer roasted over raw nuts. Someone recently pointed out how roasted nuts can be dry roasted or oil roasted. When oil roasted, the oil used is often from unhealthy vegetable oils, such as…
Is a certain food healthy? Which exercise burns the most fat? Will this supplement boost my energy? How many hours of sleep do I need to feel my best? To get answers to questions like these, we often look to science. When it comes to health and wellness, we often look to science for answers,…
1. Cartoon that made me laugh this week… 2. Something I’ve added to my daily regimen… We started drinking limeade every day. What is limeade???
