“I decided to veer off Paleo when I was traveling abroad”, one client recently mentioned to me. “I didn’t want to deprive myself of experiencing the culture by eschewing their food”. Understandable statement, and certainly, we all have the choice to not eat Paleo things if we want. However, it’s not an all or […]
Read More ›If you’re buying your chicken based on cost alone, there are many factors that you may be overlooking. First and foremost, cheaper is almost always not best; often the bargain priced poultry has come from a battery-caged producer whose best interest is not in the health or treatment of their birds, let alone the consequences […]
Read More ›I was rather intrigued to see a headline in a recent issue of one of the scientific journals I receive entitled “Exercise Your Pain Away”. Some interesting facts were included in the beginning: Up to 50% of adults are affected by various acute pain conditions (ranging from everyday aches and pains to serious injuries) Roughly […]
Read More ›As a rule of thumb, that is. A regular blog reader forwarded me a link to an article in the paper in her hometown that she labeled, ‘Comic relief for the evening’, and yes, it was laughable but not actually so funny. The title of the article was “The Health Benefits of Legumes” and […]

True, pigs do not have sweat glands, but […]
Read More ›In a word…yes. But only once in a while. A friend reached out to me yesterday after she’d encountered bugs in not one, not two, but three different veggies she’d purchased at Whole Foods, including a prepared kale to go from the salad bar! Finding a little bug or worm on organic produce does happen […]
Read More ›If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll already be well aware that I’m a big fan of including raw coconut to one’s diet. What if you don’t have access to the fresh thing? Enter coconut oil…and coconut butter. But what’s the diff between the two, and is one superior to the other? […]
Read More ›The other day while out running errands, I came across two different women in two different places doing the same thing: eating a large vat of frozen yogurt as their lunch. Both happened to be having conversations with people about what they were eating, which I overhead, partly because they were both in very close […]
Read More ›Such a confusing topic; not too different from the labeling of grass fed meats! I went to a farmer’s market I hadn’t been to before this morning, and had several quite valuable conversations with a few of the vendors, all of whom were selling produce.
