  • How Bad Do You Want It?

    Yesterday, I read this NYT article: It’s the Sugar, Folks Sugar is indeed toxic. It may not be the only problem with the Standard American Diet, but it’s fast becoming clear that it’s the major one. A study published in the Feb. 27 issue of the journal PLoS One links increased consumption of sugar with increased rates…

  • Parents: Fun Murderers

    Yesterday I came across a post out there about how everyone loves to give kids junk food.  Why Is Everyone Always Giving My Kids Junk Food?  It really resonated with me and a ton of other parents out there. Think about it – snacks at meetings, get-togethers, sports events, outings – it’s common for it…

  • Face Reading: What Your Face Tells About You

    The other day I was flipping through channels and came across a show that was highlighting Chinese Face Reading and how it can help diagnose health problems. I don’t know about you, but I had never heard about it but it makes total sense. Think about it — we all have heard that acne is…

  • Health, Joy & Progress

    Yes, today is my birthday! It’s hard to believe another year has passed but if it’s going to pass, I am thankful it was a pretty awesome year. I still feel like a young twenty something chick most days, so it’s hard to believe that I am really getting up there. One of the things…

  • Paleo Three Ingredient Ice Cream Treat

    Paleo Three Ingredient Ice Cream Treat Last night I whipped up some Paleo ice cream using three ingredients. It was super easy and a recipe I found over at Use Real Butter.com.  Here’s how I made it. Grab some fairly well ripe bananas and slice them up. You are looking for lots of brown spots…

  • Paleo Worlds Collide

    When I first discovered CrossFit and Paleo eating – I came across a blog from Melissa Joulwan: The Clothes Make the Girl.  I didn’t know Melissa personally, but found her take on both topics to be really inspiring and helpful as I began to explore making meaningful changes in my life. Almost five years later,…
