Welcome

"Hey there, I'm Michael Mulligan. I help people maximize health and wellness so they can live long and prosper. I hit a grand slam home run with my own health when I had two strikes against me and death was calling me up. The name's a nod to the golfing world's 'do-over,' a fitting metaphor for my daily quest: refining and redoing until it's just right. My blog mirrors this pursuit, aiming for a 'maximized' life—a philosophy I live by.  

This blog is supported by DoNotAge, an international sponsor I trust. I’ve been taking their products for years, and I’m glad to share them here so you can access the same products I use at the best price available. Click here to learn more about the company I trust for my supplements. If you’d like, you can enter the code LLAP (Live Long and Prosper) for a discount should you decide to give these products a try.

In sharing my life here, my aim is for you to gain something good. I'm mindful of privacy, so I don’t delve much into my family, respecting their preference for an off-grid life. Similarly, at my 'day job,' my stories focus on personal learning moments, steering clear of specifics to honor confidentiality.

I'm doing my best to organize the archive of nearly 6,000 blog stories by category for easy access. Stay tuned for a blog remodel. Stories are published daily at 8:08am, Pacific Time. All proceeds from my books are donated to University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. Thank you for being a part of the journey.

Acknowledgment & AI Assistance Disclaimer

Some of the writing in this blog has been polished with the help of Alberta Ignatius, my trusted AI assistant. While every word reflects my voice, Alberta lends a hand in refining my thoughts with clarity and flow. Alberta oversees two AI agents, Spock and Bones, who chime in their perspective as my fan tribute to Gene Roddenberry, a visionary who created Star Trek.

Additionally, AI-generated images may be used in my designs, created through AI-assisted tools and further customized in Canva. These visuals help bring my stories and messages to life.

I remain the author and storyteller, but I’m grateful for the ways technology can enhance creativity and communication.
