NCP begins 2025 announcing a wellness contest Easton Bryant, owner of North Century Pharmacy, is kicking off 2025 with a health challenge and a contest. The contest begins with a scan and numbers you can track. He says, "We're so excited to use the new year as an opportunity to shout our message that the scale is merely a number. Only 7% of Americans are metabolically healthy. It's sad. Our focus in 2025 is to help as many people as possible - given our time and resources - move toward that elite group. "We're a sick, sick country and it doesn't have to be that way. "When it comes to true health, it's all about body composition. Two people who are 5'10" and 180 lbs (identical BMI) can be drastically different pictures of health."

Tommy Druen: Holes in the water Previous Column: Leadership Kentucky By Tommy Druen When you embark on a 16-hour road trip with someone, you accept certain risks. What if your musical tastes clash? What if your pit stop schedules don't align? And, if you're traveling with my friend Dustin, what if you question every belief you've ever held? Dustin is the kind of friend everyone needs--like me, he can converse with a fencepost about anything. This makes trips to baseball fields seem shorter for us and, for our wives, provides respite from being said fenceposts. Our friendship is strong enough to venture into those so-called forbidden territories like politics and religion. Dustin, however, holds a doctorate in philosophy, which means sooner or later, he's citing Origen, Pythagoras, and Plato. Meanwhile, I'm left feeling like the kid who can identify which paste tastes best. That said, Dustin has never encountered one philosopher under whose guidance I studied extensively: Tim McMurtrey. Known to most as "Mac," or "Coach Mac" if you were within earshot, he wore many hats in our school system. During my high school years, he coached both the basketball and golf teams, and I had the good fortune--depending on the day--to play on both for all four years. Coach Mac had a unique way with words.
