I’ve written about the cheating topic more regularly this week than ever, and today’s post is going to focus on one of many reasons why one wouldn’t want to cheat. For me, the idea of needing to cheat has been absent for years. Simply, choosing foods that I know will make me feel great […]
Read More ›It’s been a week since the ‘post- Dr Oz Show controversy’ in the social media space and I’m still coming across all sorts of inaccurate information. I just read one post on a site in which the author wondered why I didn’t include ‘healthy animal fats like butter’ in my presentation (um… that would be […]
Read More ›“Eat soft foods for the next several days; yogurt is a great option, or things you can mash, like food from McDonald’s” was the verbatim recommendation from my periodontist last week. I’d just had the second of my four gum grafts I need due to rapidly receding gums (due in part to heredity – thanks, […]
Read More ›Nope. Not remotely. But that doesn’t mean there is not a time and place for them.

Read More ›Wow. There has been a lot of twitter traffic over the last 24 +/- hours regarding the recent Dr. Oz Show where Chris Kresser and I had the opportunity to be guests this past Monday. Without getting into too much detail, there are clearly some who vehemently oppose what was presented as well as those […]

Read More ›I’d have to say that beans not being part of True Paleo living is one thing most of my clients have the most difficulty understanding. Many people are at least aware that there is controversy over whether or not dairy is good for us, and the same goes for gluten and processed grains. Whether or […]
Read More ›If you tuned in yesterday to The Dr Oz Show, you may have a question or two about the reference to ‘you can have three cheat meals per week’. Do I recommend cheat meals? In principle, no.
