Wow, OMG and Brilliant!

Just three of the phrases and adjectives that come to mind after a jam packed full day at day two of Paleo Fx. It just so happened that the way the schedule panned out was such that I had my own Paleoista presentation, my cooking demo and three time slots in Paleo expert Panel Discussions […]

Surrounded by Paleo and It’s Rather Cool

It’s not too often that one happens upon a place where they can pop into the back stage area for a cup of free range chicken bone broth and wild salmon, or peruse an expo and sample grass fed bison jerky, stone ground raw chocolate or coconut oil! Yes, I’m referring to Paleo Fx.  And, […]

Paleo Fx Begins Today!

It was over a year ago that I literally ran into the organizers of PaleoFx at a health expo close to home in Los Angeles.   For anyone new to the Paleosphere, here’s a nice little summary of what it’s all about, courtesy of their homepage, www.therealpaleofx.com :  “PaleoFX is a collaborative symposium energized by […]

4PM Crash? Veggies, Protein and Fat to the Rescue!

While I don’t have a statistic as to the number of people who have a 4PM, or thereabout, blood sugar crash, resulting in a trip to the local cafe for a milkshake (aka ‘blended, iced coffee drink) and a piece of cake (the seemingly benign little muffin), I’d  be willing to bet it’s more common […]

Should Pregnant Women Exercise?

Hmm… that’s a toughy. Let’s get this straight off the  bat- this is not, under any uncertain terms, meant to be taken as medical advise; just my point of view on the topic.   Further, I’m addressing the state of mind of how we approach fitness during pregnancy and not implying that a woman with […]

According to the piece, in a recent study, published  by Public Health Nutrition researchers discovered that meal preparers were rated higher on qualities such as “loving,” “thoughtful,” “attentive” and “capable” when they included vegetables with the […]

Why Did I Eat That?

I was at Whole Foods doing my weekly shop.  Given what I do for a living as well as the fact that I so thoroughly enjoy everything related to planning, procuring and prepping meals for myself and family, I do my best to allocate sufficient time so I’m not rushed. As such, as I passed […]

Strawberry Tops, Broccoli Stalks & Chard Stems

Why is it that we automatically throw the greens on the top of a strawberry, the stalks of broccoli or the sweet, tender stems of Swiss Chard away? Well, I used to do that, to be completely honest. I have no idea who I saw just eat the red of the strawberry or the ‘tree’ […]

Recover With High Protein Pasta?

This, unfortunately, was the title of an article on active.com recently. While some of the facts stated early on in the piece, such as the good old stand-by of “carbohydrates are the preferred energy source in the body” and “athletes training competitively on successive days need to consume a diet of 60 – 70 % […]

B-12 & Other ‘Infusions’…Are They Paleo?

What is your stance on B-12 injections and other vitamin infusions? I know that in theory, if executing a proper Paleo diet, this shouldn’t be necessary. But what if you’ve made the transition and need a “boost” to get you from point A to B? Another great inquiry came in the other day that I thought […]
