From hormones to weight loss, search the Library for specific topics.
Hormones, Part 2
Diet plays a significant role in hormone production, regulation, and balance. Several dietary factors can contribute to hormonal imbalances.
Too Much of a Good Thing
One of the main concerns with vitamins and supplements is the lack or regulation on ingredients. The industry has become or maybe to some degree, has always been a buyer beware industry.
Are You Afraid of Carbs?
Carbohydrates are vital for a balanced diet. These are macronutrients, necessary for a healthy body. Carbohydrates are the main fuel source of energy for muscles and the central nervous system.
You Need Calcium, Now What?
Just about every human living in the United States has been exposed to the mass marketing campaigns of the Dairy industry. “Milk, it does a body good”. Does milk really do a body good?
Hydration and Hunger
Can you tell the difference between feeling hungry from feeling thirsty? Thirst and hunger are essential for signaling our body’s need for water and nutrients.
Protein=Vitality
Why is protein so Important? There are countless books, podcasts, articles and lectures on the importance of protein for movement.
Labeling Lies and Supplements
What is a REAL supplement? In the United States, much of what we buy in a package with an ingredients list is FAKE. What do I mean by this statement?
Toxic Fats
Both are true: fats don’t make you fat……fats make you fat! How do we determine which is which in a society filled with ultra processed food?
The Big FAT Lie
How did we get so far away from real food in the United States, where people have been so deeply and profoundly propagandized that a conversation about natural fats can be controversial?
Heart Health and Your Gut
Did you know your gut and heart affect each other? I was really surprised by the studies linking type 2 Diabetes and heart disease with an unhealthy population of gut bacteria.
Animals We Eat
Do you ever think about the life of the burger, steak or kabob you are about to eat? What about that Rotisserie Chicken?
Digestion and Your Waistline
Digestion and weight gain are closely linked, as the process of digestion plays a significant role in how your body absorbs nutrients and manages energy.
