David Kessler, M.D. and former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration examines the reasons Americans are addicted to food and what the food industry knows that most of us don’t. How do our bodies react to sugar, fat and salt? What is the correlation to them and why is it so addictive? Take a look at the video below featuring Dr. Kessler’s book “The End of Overeating.”

Congratulations to Nita Aleman and Michael O’Malley for completing the 3M Half Marathon this past Sunday. Way to Work It!

Thank you to everyone who showed up and ran with team Work It in the Jinglebell 5k yesterday morning. Several thousand people showed up for the event. The temperature was cool and the wind was a little gusty but overall it was great for the 5k. Also, thanks to everyone who came by and inquired at the Work It table. Below is a picture of the entire Work It team, a great looking group! I look forward to putting a team together for the Jinglebell 5k next year. Way to go everyone!!!
