If I Could Give A SECOND Piece of Nutrition Advice… To ALL Age Groups, But Especially Adults

In case you missed the FIRST piece of Nutrition advice, especially as it relates to children, you can read it (watch it) here. I made the recommendation to “crowd out carbs” … the unhealthy, refined, extra sugary ones… and to place greater emphasis on healthy fats and clean protein with a dash of quality carbs. […]

Just “Going Keto” Isn’t Good Enough

By now, you’ve likely heard of many of the benefits of a ketogenic approach to eating. It helps with weight loss, hormone regulation, inflammation, blood sugar regulation, brain function, memory improvement, mood stabilization, improved mitochondrial function, resetting healthy gut bacteria, and much more. Ketosis has also been shown to help specific conditions like, PCOS (Polycystic […]

If THIS Is How You Feel While Intermittent Fasting, You’re Doing It Wrong!

If you think “intermittent fasting” (or “time-restricted eating”, etc.) is too hard and leaves you feeling too hungry/hangry… with all due respect, you’re doing it wrong!! Time-restricted eating (what most folks now refer to as Intermittent Fasting), simply put, is eating fewer meals and eating them in a smaller window of time. And, as a […]

“If You Could Make Just ONE Dietary Recommendation…?”

A few days ago, I was able to re-connect with an old childhood friend I hadn’t seen for a decade. The last 10 years have been quite a journey for her, health-wise. I’ll give you the short-ish version. After dealing with mystery symptoms that were all over the map for a few years, she […]

The Difference Between Functional Fasting and Self-Inflicted Starvation

What’s happening between your ears. That’s the difference. Ok. Maybe that’s a bit harsh. Let’s say it this way… the INTENTION behind not eating… that’s the difference. One enhances health. The other can destroy it. One is a personal health care decision. The other is a mental/psychological issue manifested by way of eating… or […]

Is Eating Less What’s Keeping You Fat?

Chronically eating less could be exactly what’s keeping you fat. Excuse me? What did she just say?! Yes, you heard me correctly. Eating less – in the form of multiple small meals per day, or grazing throughout your day – can make you fat. I’m talking, even eating as little as 500 calories […]

Too Much, Too Often!

In our modern and civilized world, so many of us live in abundance. An abundance of FOOD, specifically. Think about it – Never before in the (recorded) history of the world has there been more plentiful access to food! It’s everywhere, all the time! Fast food, convenience food, snack food, food trucks, gas […]

Just As Important As What You Eat?

For years… and I mean years… I’ve tried to teach our children the importance of WHAT they eat. As is the case with most of us, it’s still a work in progress! (Why do foods that aren’t in our best interest have to taste so GOOD? Pizza, french fries, pasta, bread, chips, pastries… Sigh…) […]

Keto Friendly Cheesy Spinach Egg Mini Muffins

Even though I’m not much of a breakfast person anymore (intermittent fasting has taken care of that!), my offspring still like food in their bellies well before noon. What you see below is NOT an option around here! Just looking at that photo nearly puts me into a sugar coma! It can be […]

Does This Coffee Make Me Look Fat?

Let’s talk about coffee. Not just any coffee… “fat coffee”. You may also hear it referred to as “keto coffee”, “bulletproof coffee”, or “butter coffee”. (I wrote about it here several years ago, but the gremlins of the blog universe have hidden most of my writing… so here we go again!) Dr. Hubby and […]
