Listen up! My business partner and I have developed a brand spanking new one day workshop that promises to be pretty awesome. We are aware that there is a lot of confusion about “the perfect diet.” There is so much conflicting info out there that it’s hard to keep track! Join us on Saturday, August [...]
In keeping with the trend of my recent post stating that eating fat doesn’t make you fat, I decided to clear up some confusing information about cholesterol too. 1. Eating cholesterol does not raise cholesterol levels 2. High cholesterol does not necessarily give you heart disease 3. Cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) are WAY over-prescribed, do not [...]
Everything that the medical industry has told you about fat is wrong. A recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition proves that saturated fat doesn’t cause heart disease. Profit-driven industries (I’m looking at you, American Heart Association) tell us that eating fat (especially the saturated kind) causes heart disease and that we should [...]
The conventional medical system and the holistic wellness sphere have different barometers for measuring health. For example, when you go to your doctor’s office, you get weighed, get blood taken, and your blood pressure is measured. You are rarely asked about your diet or your habits (other than possibly how much you drink). Maybe if [...]

I love the smell and the taste, with a little coconut milk & cinnamon. I would drink it more often, if it didn’t contribute to severe anxiety and blood sugar instability [...]
I talk about cortisol a lot. Probably mention it several times every day. It’s important in my line of work, because I help people reduce stress and lose weight, and cortisol is a major player in both of these situations. First, some science. Cortisol is one of our main stress hormones, produced by the adrenal [...]
1. Don’t skip meals. Skipping meals wreaks havoc on blood sugar and hormones. Cortisol & insulin are elevated, and this biochemical response, if repeated often, results in poor metabolism & turns on your fat storage mechanism. Ideally, eat 3 good meals per day with no snacking. Until your metabolism is regulated, you may need a [...]
I’ve been playing around with coconut flour for both baking & cooking for a while now and have finally perfected these muffins. Coconut flour can be somewhat tricky because it tends to dry out baked goods, so you need to compensate with enough milk (cow or otherwise), butter/oil, and eggs. I love coconut flour because [...]
