How to get in touch with Experience Life and Life Time.
Experience Life magazine is a terrific magazine! I enjoy all reading all the departments. Well Informed, Fit Body, Healthy Eating, Life Wisdom. I was touched and found to be true of my values the Jan/Feb 2017 article On respect and Gratitude. I’ve experienced the unhealthy behaviors listed in my own family and now affected the next generation. The article is so informative & helps to put things in perspective. Thank you for terrific magazines by Experinece Life.
I have been a member of Lifetime Fitness for 9 years. Some of the articled that you present in your magazine are really full of unsubstantiated information. The articles written by non-professionals inferring that they are experts in areas that they don’t have clue about. ie: Article on root canals done in the last year was a joke.
Article on NSAIDs is another article written by someone who does not understand what he is talking about, and shows is limited knowledge about pharmacology, medicine , and natural products.
You need to find someone to help you weed through the articles written by non-professionals
about information that they don’t really understand
Also what is a ND?

My husband and I have been members of a fitness center continually since 1989. For the last 5 years, we find Lifetime Fitness to be by far our best all round experience. The Experience Life magazine has been monthly reinforcement of new exercise routines, and great diet supports. It has been an excellent tool toward helping me loose 40 pounds. HOWEVER…THIS MONTH’S ISSUE WAS A HUGE DISAPPOINT….LEAVE THE DOG INFO TO THE DOG MAGAZINES!!!!
How can I check on a gift subscription with the order no.? Thanks

I love your magazine and I like to always read it. It is entertaining, helpful and informative.
I would just like to know if you had digital edition files or pdf files of your 2010 back issues?
Hi Rose,
We have PDFs of many of our back issues. Is there a specific article you are looking for?
Heidi
Hi, Heidi.
Yes, I was looking for March, April and May 2010. How much would it cost per issue?
Thanks for the reply.
Hi Rose,
I’m going to send you an email from my personal account and we can get you copies of what you need.
Heidi
Hi Rose,
Is there a specific article or issue you are looking for?
Thanks,
Heidi
I have been a member at Lifetime and I have enjoyed your magazine for a number of years, but we need to talk about your article “A Different Kind of Dentistry”. You have to be careful in printing articles about subjects that your writer is not well informed. I am an endodontist with 30 years of treating”infected teeth” with great results, in fact I have literally thousands of happy teeth functioning every day in my patients free of infection and pain. The theory that root canals do not work is untrue. There is about 3600 endodontists in the USA and all of them have the same results. Dentistry has always been evidence-based,and the comprehensive medical history
is where it all starts. The patients well-being is always evaluated before treatment is initiated. The state boards of dentistry and the ADA are not linked, and they have nothing to do with each other. I have had a number of patients referred to my office from holistic physicians(chiropractors)with strange requests for treatment. I am disappointed that you would publish an article filled with lots of wrong information from so called experts. If I thought that what I am doing would seriously affect my patients health I wouldn’t be doing it.If you would like to talk further my office phone is #847-446-6200 MIke
Hello there,
Just wondering what your nutrition experts say about calorienutrient ratios (proportion of carbs/protein/fat) that would constitute a good, healthy diet? Is there any research and scientific evidence on this topic, and if so, could they provide references?
The reason I ask is because your articles tend to offer tons of dietary advice, and since there is so much controversy around “proper” nutrition, I wanted to know where you guys are getting your facts.
Thanks!
I LOVE your June 2013 issue – especially the articles Frankenfood, The Ecosystem Inside, and The Science of Stress!
As always, I love your honesty, integrity, and braveness/boldness to explore topics that other magazines may shy away from due to controversial subject matter.
I also always look forward to the articles by Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl (entertaining), Pilar Gerasimo (uplifting/inspiring), and Bahram Akradi (enlightening).
Keep up the good work! 🙂
Reading Experience Life magazine and go to site to hear the End of fear podcast and persmission denied.
Your magazine doesn’t say there is any cost etc…………………whats up????
Hi Bobbi,
I’m not sure why you were denied access, but the podcast is free to all who visit our website. My hope is that this was a temporary glitch, and I hope that you try to access the podcast again. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I generally like the healthy articles in this magazine. In the recent Nov 2012 issue, the article on “Cold-Hearted Cash” seemed unnecessarily negative towards people with money and promotes the divisive nature of singling out people because they are successful. A better approach would be to find positive ways to help ALL people be mindful of others and more empathetic – regardless of income.
Please don’t perpetuate this divisiveness. ALL Americans should try to be better people. Thank you.
Please kindly specify specify “financially successful” when you refer to success in this context, as not all financially successful people are truly successful in many areas of life, while many who are unsuccessful financially do succeed brilliantly, making wonderful contributions both at work, and at home (as great parents, friends, and creative artists). A few are successful both financially and as all-rounders in life. I agree that society should not blame the financially successful. Many have truly earned their worth without taking advantage of or exploiting others. It is extremely unfair to imply that most of the wealthy are exploiters or uncaring. One wealthy couple I know spend far more on others than on themselves. and there are many who do the same.
You have made such a deep and resonating impression on me with your article on Sustainability that I continue to send it daily to clients and friends. keep up the inspiring message. Jacquie Heil……..Cultivated Divine
To Jocelyn Stone-I just read your article about Matt Walker. You should write an article about my son, Joe Kinder, who is also a passionate (and world class) climber. He has found a way to make his dreams reality. Check out his blog Joekindkid.
Libby Kinder
Libby,
Thank you for the information about Joe. I look forward to checking out his website, and I will let my assigning editors know about your recommendation.

Your magazine intrigues me. I am interested in a digital subscription but I would like to be able to read it on my KindleFire. Is that possible?
Laurie,
Currently, subscriptions are available through the Barnes and Noble Nook newsstand and Zinio.com, who has iPhone and iPad apps, but nothing through Kindle at this time.
