Welcome to Fellrath.com

Welcome to my page. My goal here is to share a bit about me, what I do, what my passions are, and where I'm going with my goals and plans. I invite you to contact me via one the links on my many websites if you have questions on any of these things. I would love to help you get healthier and wealthier and live a life that you want to live!

I am creating residual income with Club 100K. I invite you to join my network today and see what Club 100K can do for you to help you create income of $100,000 per year or even per month!

I've also set up a Google Wave chat for anyone interested in discussing strategies and asking questions about Club 100K or Life Force. Let me know if you need a Google Wave invitation, and I hope to see you there!

I've been bike commuting as my main form of transportation since November of 2006, and writing my blog Bike Commuting in Columbus since February of 2006. I'm a Cycling Instructor with the League of American Bicyclists as well. Look out for my class announcements on Facebook and on Bike Commuting in Columbus!

Another hat I wear in the bicycle writing community is that of the Alternative Transportation Examiner for Examiner.com. If you're not familiar with Examiner, I suggest you take the time to check it out. There are dozens of talented and diverse writers working for Examiner and we get paid based on page views (as well as some other factors). If you'd like to write for Examiner, contact me and I can help you find a topic (or you can check out the topics list here).

My son Duncan has Autism. A lot of my personal life is now used to promote causes that research that condition, make the lives of those with autism and their families easier and better, and to bring joy to autistic kids like Duncan. To that end, I'm a supporter of Autism Speaks, a charity that focuses on autism awareness and research. I also support Train4Autism, which is a group that works to raise money for autism through athletic events. And I'm helping another parent of an autistic child, Sam Felsenfeld, as he raises money through his charity Operation Jack. Sam's running 60 marathons in 2010 to raise money and awareness, and the least I can do is help him do it!

Ditching the Chair Update: Lack of Use Raises Its Head

I'm just starting day three of my standing desk experiment and so far I really like it - though a couple of challenges are showing up. As you may recall, I pulled one of my cubicle cupboards off the wall a couple days ago and am using it as a standing desk platform. It's wide, deep enough, and more than sturdy enough for the limited use I put it through up there. Also, I keep all that storage. So win-win-win. I'm fortunate that it's at exactly the right height for my purpose. So here's how it's developed over the past couple of days. My monitors are set apart about 16 inches and that's nice because it gets my neck moving back and forth more. I was having some issues with my neck/back between my shoulder blades being tight and causing me headaches, and that has gone away. I think that having my attention locked onto one place all day was not helping there, and setting them apart more has made me move it more. Granted, I tend to lose my mou

Caffeine and Cortisol - a 30-Day Experiment

No Caffeine for Me! Today, I began upon a 30-day experiment to reduce my cortisol levels by removing coffee from my diet. The goal is to see how it might be affecting my cognitive function and my belly fat. Cortisol is a hormone that is related to stress . At a very basic level, cortisol is created as a response to stressors in our environment. Back when we were still chucking spears at deer and chasing down antelope, cortisol was helping to preserve our lives by giving us quick energy by signalling to our livers that it was time to engage in a process known as gluconeogenesis. This process is basically the breakdown of amino acids, the building blocks of protein, into glucose - one of the two monosaccharides (the healthy one) that our bodies use for fuel. Picture this - you're walking across the street, enjoying the day, when suddenly some inattentive driver tries to turn and doesn't see you. Your heart rate speeds up, and you get a little burst of speed to quickly sprint o

Knowing Your Values Can Be the Difference You Need

What are your values? It seems like an easy enough question. Everybody has them, we all know what they are, so what's the big deal with discussing them? So do it. Write them down, and explain a bit about WHY you have those values. Done yet? Not as easy as it seems, is it. And that's a big reason that many people never do this simple exercise (notice I said simple , not easy) - it's hard! But I would be willing to wager that the people who are struggling the most with finding happiness, success, prosperity, or any number of other trajectories in their lives have never taken the time to sit down and do this simple little step. And that's a mistake. "Don't work harder, work smarter" is a catchphrase we hear a lot from efficiency and productivity experts, the folks who look at how things are being done and how they could be done better. And that's great for places like factories and organizations with built-in systems to get things done. B
