I’ve grown quite used to tasting olive oil on its own. At home, whenever we go out to dine and the ubiquitous bread basket is placed on the table, I’ll often dip my spoon in the small dish filled with oil before anyone has dunked their bread in, simply to taste. So, you can […]
Read More ›Whenever I’m heading out of town, there’s always at least one client or friend that will jokingly ask me how I’ll possibly stay true to my Paleo regime even amongst all the ‘X’ food (whatever any particular country is known for). When I headed to Madison for a race one year it was, “How are […]
Read More ›I love bananas. They’re quite possibly my favorite fruit for an important part of a post-endurance swim, bike or run recovery meal, as well as something I’ll eat during one of said activities if it’s one I’m approaching from the perspective of long aerobic versus short and fasted. But what about the mess? Yes, […]
Read More ›I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this very statement: My grandmother at soy every day and lived to be 105! At nearly every lecture I’ve given, there’s always one person who, when they learn about the toxic properties of soy and why they’re not healthy, even beyond the fact that they’re not […]

Read More ›Imagine if everything we ate really was food. Recall the definition of it, from Webster’s Dictionary: “any nourishing substance that is eaten, drunk, or otherwise taken into the body to sustain life,provide energy, promote growth, etc.” Now, take a quick pause and ask yourself how much of what you put in your mouth fits that description. Alternatively, what percentage of what you voluntarily ingest does not? Cakes, cookies, candies, breads, soda, pasta, cereal, bagels, […]
Read More ›Hmmm.. let’s think. Did our ancestors take the time to filter their water? No, but then, they didn’t have an environment filled with toxic chemicals and a depleted ozone that we have today. So what to do? Use a tried and true Brita filter? Maybe, but what is the trader off if you’re filtering off […]
Read More ›Do you recall reading a book when you were a child called James and the Giant Peach? I remember it well. I enjoyed the story. But I never actually expected to see one before my very eyes. The other day while perusing a local market, as I made my way to the small, organic section, […]
Read More ›Clients are often surprised when I tell them that no breadcrumbs, day-old bread or crushed cereal are needed to make burgers, or meatballs or meatloaf.
