I love all things coconut. Coconut is super high in saturated fat. I’ve learned so much about saturated fat over the last few years—the nutritional scape goat villain of the last few decades turns out to be not at all what I thought. Did you know that saturated fat studies (you know, the ones that …
Every day of this week so far, I thought it was Friday. Eventually, I’ll be right, but time is crawling! I think it’s because I’m counting down–to this weekend (Matthew comes over), till the end of the semester and a break from teaching (online too) (the 19th-ish till Jan 2nd), till people start visiting for …
What foods are perfect or best for us? Often people look to exotic fruits—things like goji berries, cacao beans, and maca powder, imported and overflowing with certain nutrients. I’m a fan of those things—but I’m not so much a fan of their price tags. I like the idea of micronutrient loading, and promote it to …

Chicken stock. Maybe your mom made it when you were young, or maybe after Thanksgiving she turned the turkey carcass into soup. It’s not that I ever questioned why my mom did those things, but I didn’t think about there being any health benefits. I suppose if I had contemplated it at all, I would have most …

On Black Friday (actually this began Thursday evening), I headed out with Joe’s sister and mother to Wal-Mart at 10pm. There was a laptop to be bought, and many good deals to be scarfed up! I didn’t have a list—was just going along for the fun of it (even though last time I went midnight …

Good afternoon 🙂 I’m teaching 8 classes and I’ve been a big slacker in researching things for friends/clients (but I’ll admit, I’ve been researching the things that interest me the most…). Often, when I am trying to help someone improve their health, we have to find substitutions for “old” habits—without that, we’re bound to try …

Happy Saturday! I’m going to spend the remainder of the weekend in yoga teacher training (I wish there was wi-fi there—then I could be like my nutrition students and pretend I’m listening, but really be chatting and playing on the Internet…just kidding, I wouldn’t do that!). I want to tell you a few random things …
Yesterday, Kathleen posted about fast food, and speculated that we are mistaken when we vilify it without also condemning many of the other crappy quality foods we have in our lives. It made me start thinking about healthy eating and food rules, and how we set our limits about what we will or will not …
Thank you for all the super thoughtful things you all said to me over the last few days… It helped. A lot. Joe was gone to DC for the weekend to run the Marine Corps Marathon, so I was flying solo, and it turned out to be a really great weekend (except one crappy part, …
Thanks for all of your great comments on my post about trying out Intermittent Fasting! I appreciate your perspectives, and I completely agree that IF is not for everyone…in fact, I’m not actually recommending it to anyone yet. I’m just testing it out on myself! Alison (who is my bloggie-neighbor) wrote a post about her …
