My recent post ushered in that Summer feeling.  I gave you a great Creamsicle refresher that will add high quality protein to your day or to start your day or even post-workout recovery.  I’m reminded by many of you that it’s that time.  You know… shorts & tank tops, sundresses and bathing suits for the pool and/or beach.  […]

A couple of weeks ago I published an article on anti-aging and our most popular “Ager,” SUGAR.  It was extremely popular and I got a lot of feedback on it, so I decided to put together a list of 10 things we can start doing, besides reducing our sugar intake, that will help to slow the […]

So, it’s that time of year when people get run down and start catching those colds and flus.  I wrote a couple of weeks ago about preventing the flu and stopping those immune busting behaviors.  Hopefully you are trying to utilize some of those!  However, I’m hearing a lot about people using Emergen C packets […]

Let me just say that I love love pasta.  I have eaten it my whole life, from mac & cheese, to traditional spaghetti & simple pomodoro, to pasta with olive oil, garlic, parmesan & fresh parsley.  Really I’ll take it anyway I can.  So…when I found I could no longer eat gluten this was a […]

Everyone wants easy these days.  Easy & Quick actually.  I think this is part of the drive-thru/take out routine.  But, drive-thru and take out are not part of the eating real whole foods plan.  Let me just say that if you think when you get an order of fries all you get are potatoes, oil […]

Ok… so I love my nut butters, how about you?  If you read the “Healthy Snacks to Go” blog post then you know I recommend nut butters.  I have had some great feedback and people are doubling down on the nut butters whether its eating them with an apple, putting them in a smoothie or […]

So, I get this question a lot. In fact, I have recently printed out the new Environmental Working Group’s latest Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 List to display in my office, so it generates a lot of conversations. In the fall there was the “new study” that reviewed other studies and concluded that there was […]
