I try to keep up with the various sports nutrition products that come up in the market, both so that I can discuss them with clients and also for my own knowledge of what the latest trends are. The Muscle Milk brand has been around for a while, certainly, but it wasn’t until yesterday that […]
Read More ›I thought I’d seen all the possible permutations of kale- in the form of chips of all flavors, that is, but yesterday at Whole Foods, I saw something new: kale powder. Freeze-dried and organic and $20.00 for 2 ounces? A quick peek at the label touted all its benefits: Supports healthy detoxification and healthy liver […]
Read More ›We all know it’s a sad state of affairs when we think about the state of school lunches. But when we see ‘healthy lunch’ ideas touted by what we regard as valid sources of information, it doesn’t really help the situation. Just yesterday, I received an emailed newsletter entitled 5 Tips to Pack the Perfect […]

(It’s almost as though being gone for a while gave me an even greater appreciation for all the fresh produce we have here, year round!). While we often think of the high […]

Read More ›With the exception of perhaps a dried spice and herb blend called a ‘seasoning mix’, I’d be really hard pressed to believe any mix of any kind could be Paleo. Especially a bread mix. A few weeks back, I wrote about a Paleo Bread Machine and this morning in an email newsletter, there was an […]
Read More ›Kudos to Livestrong for another home run. While the entire piece they published a few days back about avocado wasn’t positioned as being Paleo, there was quite a good selection of recipes that completely fit the bill. They offered some great ideas, some of which I’ve been doing for a while, like using avocado […]
Read More ›Yes, you read that correctly. And if you’ve been in the Paleosphere for a while, you’ve likely heard about this. I was introduced to the concept a few years back when I did an interview with The Bulletproof Executive (click). His signature formula contains butter, I’ve played around with just using the MCT oil without […]
Read More ›If you were to buy a new type of body lotion and apply it to your skin and then have the unfortunate experience of breaking out in a rash, it would be rather obvious that there was some type of ingredient that simply didn’t agree with you. You’d then be likely (hopefully) to put two […]
