One of the most common questions clients ask me is, “What can I put in a cup of coffee if I’m no longer using milk and sugar?”. To which I usually suggest…how about buying a better coffee that doesn’t need doctoring? Sprinkling on some cinnamon works, as does adding fresh coconut, and a very few […]
Read More ›The Paleo Diet for Athletes, a book I read nearly a decade ago, was the most valuable sports nutrition book I’ve ever come across. Back then, I was new to Paleo, but had been racing Ironman for about four years and was sick and tired of, well, being sick and tired. With Kona behind us, […]
Read More ›Yikes. Doesn’t really sound like much of a menu offering, does it? More along the lines of what you’d find in the bath section of a beauty supply shop! I fell victim to it, too. For years. Even as an endurance athlete who was completely Paleo with the exception of using manufactured sugars for long […]
Read More ›It’s so odd not to be racing at the big show today. Ironman World Championships are today in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, and at 7am, when the race begins, all the athletes who’ve worked so hard to get to Kona will begin the day they’ve been training for, waiting for, dreaming of, perhaps fearing a bit but […]
Read More ›It’s so convenient to pop into the store, grab a small package of organic, pre-washed greens, add some healthy protein and enjoy a quick meal on the go.

Read More ›“Don’t just treat the symptom – treat the cause.” I couldn’t agree more with this statement. I did find it funny, however, that it was the opening sentence on a website I checked out after seeing an ad that made me feel I just had to write a blog about it. “Gold Bond Medicated Body […]
Read More ›Are you interested in how to thrive as an endurance athlete, while keeping Paleo? Doing so was what allowed me, nearly ten years ago, to go from a very average, middle of the pack age-grouper to being able to train then race competitively enough to earn a slot to Ironman World Championships in Kona seven […]
Read More ›One of the main reasons I created my brand, Paleoista, a few years back, was to make this healthy approach to eating, moving and lifestyle overall more appealing and approachable for women. Not only is Paleo marketed all too often as ‘the Caveman diet’, it’s then taken out of context, misrepresented both in terms of […]
Read More ›The key to successfully implementing a modern day Paleo approach is to mimic the diet of our ancestors ate with foods that are readily available to us in our farmer’s markets, grocery stores and even in our own backyards. I’m paraphrasing what I’ve heard Dr. Cordain say on many an occasion; we don’t actually have to […]
Read More ›Sushi without rice? Without a small bowl of edamame to whet the appetite? Without soy sauce? Oh, yes. While I’m a fan of sashimi on its own, even if you’re accustomed to ordering interesting rolls of varying descriptions, it’s easy to keep Paleo even during happy hour at your favorite sushi bar.
