Poker legend Daniel Negreanu opens up about poker, marriage, and growing up in Toronto.

It’s hard to believe that world-renowned poker champion Daniel Negreanu, who discovered his love of the game at 16, wasn’t always good at poker. “When I first started, I didn’t even know what I was doing; I was learning the game just like anyone else,” he admits. “But I knew there was something to it.” So, while the other kids were doing their homework and playing videogames, Negreanu was learning the ropes by frequenting local pool halls.

Although he can’t quite name one particular person who taught him the game, Negreanu says that he learned the most by watching his opponents. “I would pick up the best qualities from each player and try to incorporate them into my own game,” he says. Read more

Success Doesn’t Have to Kill You

Over the years, my practice as a naturopathic doctor has allowed me to get a glimpse into the lives of many successful people and millionaires. My perception at one time was that all millionaires knew how to take care of themselves and prevent disease, merely because they had money. The more I interviewed this group of patients, the more I realized that their health suffered more than most because they lacked a deeper understanding of it.

Health to me means being happy, physically free from illness and disease, and a sense of purpose and belonging on this planet. Health is comprised of three dimensions: physical, emotional, and spiritual. To be truly healthy, a balance and synergy needs to exist on all three levels. Read more

Jenny McCarthy: Model with a Cause

From the exposing pages of Playboy, to the glossy tabloid images of her arm around Jim Carrey, Jenny McCarthy has been in the spotlight for over a decade. But now, she is shining a light on a very important and personal cause – and is not ashamed to use her celebrity status to do it.

Before meeting Jenny McCarthy, I knew who she was as a celebrity, but I was also acquainted with her passion. Her book Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism, tells the harrowing story of her young son, Evan, and how he went from a seemingly normal infant, to tumbling down the dark and mysterious world of autism at 15 months-old – just after receiving inoculation shots for rubella, measles and mumps.
