I attended an online summit recently centered around all things paleo & anti-inflammatory. It was nothing short of incredible – with many of the top industry leaders giving presentations on the latest evolutionary nutrition news, and doing so for free, it was like college but so much more awesome. I took notes on the gluten… [Read more…]

“A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.” Sadly, I can thank Mrs. Jeffries, our grade-school gym teacher for making that statement to our little group of grade-schoolers.

Two of the easiest (and cheapest!) things you can do to manage your health are -exercise & -eat well. Of late, there has been a massive over-saturation of food-products that claim to help “lower this!” or ”increase your fiber intake that!” (very few of which actually are what they claim).

Ok, so you’re back in town. You drank too many margaritas. You threw ‘hunger’ to the wind at your all-inclusive & ate at the buffet/human trough more times than you can remember, and you may have forgotten to workout “enough” on vacation.

The human body is truly a wondrous thing! Truly! I’m right there with you in those moments when your body just won’t do what you want it to do, and that can be frustrating. What quickly banishes anger at myself for some tiny misfire in my body is the reminder that my body is doing a ridiculous amount… [Read more…]
