I was chilling out, flicking through a few random news stories about the mind and wellbeing As you do over a bank holiday weekend of course! When I came across a study published a few months ago, all about men with psychopathic tendencies! The focus of the study was to try and discover what drives them to choose to do, well psychopathic stuff!! To do this, a prof' called Josh Buckholtz took a mobile brain scanner to a prison, found 50 inmates that had shown psychopathic tendencies in the past. And hooked them up! They were then given a Delayed Gratification test, this is where they

There's fewer things more frustrating then when you invest in something and then don't get the 'Experience' you'd hoped for. Take this 84yr old man in Germany for example He chose a particular "Red Hot" sex-line, hoping for some quality, XXX-Rated naughtiness. The recorded message that he tuned into was apparently too "tame" for his own personal tastes and he was left particularly underwhelmed and unsatisfied! (Don't you just hate it when that happens....) Anyway, it wasn't the only thing that left our poor old German friend less than impressed Especially when he received his phone bill.... £200!!

The things that some men will do to get attention, sometimes even I have to look on in disbelief. And I've seen some rather bizarre situations as a firefighter... So when I heard about a bunch of firefighters being required to free a man who'd managed to cement his head into a microwave, purely for attention seeking, publicity reasons? Well it's fair to say I had one one of those WTF moments The fact it took over 2 1/2 hours to free him and the only reason he survived was because one of his friends managed to get a breathing tube into him, and he had a plastic bag over

As we're approaching the end of the year, it's always good to reflect on what you have achieved. Are you any closer to the physique you want? Do you have the freedom to spend more time with your family? Do you have the energy to do the active things with your family? When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you like what you see? Or are you still sucking that stomach in? When you set your goals for 2017, will they be any different to the ones you set for 2016 or have to seen the progression you

It's amazing how life can take up more than you think it does and the things you've always thought were reality, in actual fact, aren't. Below is a statement about how life is for the daughter of a busy man, one just like you. "Just one of the many adventures we’ve had together was when I was about eight or nine, [when] my daddy took me to a monster truck show. It was awesome! We got lots of cotton candy and toy souvenirs …. It has been about five years and I’ve noticed my dad and I doing less and

There's some bizarre experiments carried out in the name of research. Being a bit of a nutritional geek, I often receive updates from published articled and recently one caught my eye. Not because of the ground breaking information it delivered ( pretty much ministry of the fcuking obvious if you ask me!) But because of the side story that accompanied it. A researcher removed part of a rats brain (a section of the hypothalamus) that controlled the desire to consume food and fluids. As expected, the rats didn't bother eating or drinking and died of starvation and dehydration. ( No

Our body is a walking pharmaceutical laboratory. All manner of hormones are being produced, broken down and recycled, on pretty much a second-by-second basis! If you're a geek like me and you've ever studied human biochemistry, you'll be familiar with many different hormones and their interactions within the body. There's the typical ones everyone has heard of, such as insulin, testosterone, estrogen and adrenaline. You may of even heard of HCG, progesterone epinephrine too. But I want to focus on cortisol, and how it may be stopping you from getting the body you want. You see, there's 2 reasons why

Every year it seems that Xmas starts earlier and earlier. I was in a well known supermarket a couple of weeks ago and they had already started stocking Xmas-themed foods and products. The beginning of October! As far as im concerned Xmas doesn't start until that glitter covered train appears on the TV and I hear "Holidays Are Coming..." You know I'm right! Now, I know you guys are busy, lots of hours spent in the office doing something 'important'. Well, I assume it must be as you choose to do that over going home to spend time with your
