Canola popped up on the scene a while ago marketed as a flavorless, healthy oil that withstands high temps and is therefore good for sauteeing, frying, or baking. Listen, folks, canola is a highly processed oil, often genetically modified, and when heated and deodorized during processing, any omega 3 or good fats it once had […]
I attended a snooty private school from 6th grade til I graduated senior year. It was essentially structured like a college campus with a science building, humanities, several libraries, an art studio, computer lab, 2 gymnasiums, ball field, track, etc. This is where I first became familiar with stress. Stress followed me through college and […]
Let me guess: nothing? Coffee and a donut? Cereal with skim milk? A smoothie with berries, protein powder, and spirulina? (GOOD FOR YOU!) All the hype about breakfast is true. You are quite literally breaking the fast after presumably 12 or more hours, and you need this meal to stabilize blood sugar for the morning […]
Parasites! Gasp! Thought these pesky little bugs only invaded unlucky international travelers in exotic lands? Think again. Parasites are shockingly common.

Staying locked in a dark room due to sensitivity to light, sensitivity to noise, auras, flashing lights, pins and needles, nausea, […]
Ah, the holiday season is officially in full swing. For most of us, this means fun parties and cocktails and entertaining and running around crazy to pick out gifts and decorations. Not to be a party pooper, but the average Thanksgiving dinner has over 2,000 calories. This doesn’t count pumpkin pie for dessert! Or wine […]
Thanks to my brother and his girlfriend, last night I enjoyed the awesome jambalaya recipe that I posted a couple days ago. Boy is it tasty! I whipped up a mixed green salad with some avocado and a quick homemade balsamic vinaigrette: 1/2 cup high quality extra virgin olive oil to 1/2 cup balsamic, add […]
Halloween, my favorite holiday. Be careful out there! And if you must have something sweet, try dark chocolate – 70% or more cacao – it has minimal sugar and great health benefits!
