Canned Fish – Should You Include It In Your Diet?
Canned Fish I love including canned fish in my health eating world. It’s easy, affordable and always “at the ready” for a quick, healthy and delicious meal. Recently, a friend posted a link on Twitter to a Medium article I felt I should share, so here goes. Written by David Neimanis, this article gives a short chronicle of the author’s real introduction and embracing of canned fish as an integral part of his diet. Almost eight years go, I went through something similar when I rejected processed food and the Standard American Diet. I needed to have a healthy, reasonably price source of protein to add to salads and other…

Your weight is not the real problem
Your weight is not the real problem With this article, I’m sending up a warning flare that some will call “a rant”. Your weight is not even really the problem with your weight. I know that sounds cryptic. Your weight is not the real problem with your health, your memory, your energy, stamina, chronic illness; it’s not about your weight. Your weight is the byproduct of your food choices. Learn to make better food choices, and your body will find its own perfect weight; no dieting required ever again. No expensive diet programs; no buying diet “food”. It’s more complicated than that and goes to leptin resistance and insulin resistance,…

What Does Food Taste Like
What Does Food Taste Like The biggest challenge we face today in reclaiming our health (mental and physical), losing weight, gaining brain clarity, increasing productivity and practically anything else you can desire is the challenge of learning: What does food taste like? We no longer expect food to taste like real food. The processed food companies have schooled us to expect our food to taste like sugar, highly processed flour, salt and bad fat. They have taught us “food” should be soft and have no fiber or substance. The “food” they have created is extremely addictive too. We can’t cut our favorites loose to save ourselves. We are addicted to…

No Carb No Sugar Diet – Look and Feel Younger in Seven Days!
No Carb No Sugar Diet While I’m not a fan of the concept of a diet (I prefer a more permanent lifestyle eating change), some diets are so good for you, it’s as though they turn back the clock. The No Carb No Sugar diet is one of those diets! People who follow this diet look younger than they actually are, and that’s because certain diets can help your body heal inflammation and protect your telomeres. By the way, telomeres are found at the end of your chromosomes. Having longer, more intact telomeres is a prediction of a slower aging process. The No Carb No Sugar Diet can help you…

Stress and How it Affects Your Gut
Stress and How it Affects Your Gut Stress and your gut…you know excessive amounts of stress are bad for you in general. They can also cause serious gut health issues you may not be aware of. Here are some things to know about how stress can be related to your gut health. How Stress is Linked to Gut Health When you experience a lot of stress, the brain enters what’s known as “survival mode” which affects how much blood goes to your gut.

Make Healthy Eating Easier
Make Healthy Eating Easier Make healthy eating easier. How? I love this idea. Have a “use me” section in your fridge and your freezer! Let’s back up a bit though. One of the things I teach my community is to make healthy eating faster and easier by cooking large quantities of food and using it multiple times. Some people hate the idea of “leftovers”, but that’s not what I’m talking about. Forget the overcooked vegetables reheated in the microwave for the second or third time. Totally not what I’m getting at here! I’m talking about making large quantities of roasted veggies in the oven.

It’s the combination of eating the right food and…
