The Halloween costumes are packed away, the candy wrappers are cleaned up and out of site, and the holiday season is officially in full effect. Although it feels like you have gained 5-10 lbs. over the holidays, studies show that the average weight gain is only about a pound or two. Seems harmless right? Wrong! Most people never lose the pound they gain and over time the pound add up. More importantly holiday behaviors can spike up stress levels, throw a wrench in exercise habits, and increase gluttony, overall leaving your body feeling exhausted and more susceptible to disease.

‘Food is a drug, eat responsibly’. The end. Well, at least I wish it was that easy. The reality is it’s just the beginning. We are entering a time where we are now questioning the how’s, when’s, why’s, what’s about food. We are knee deep in a time where we are surrounded by food related disease manifested in the form of obesity, heart disease, ulcers, diabetes, IBS, celiac disease, and more. That food is a drug is more important now than ever. And it is our responsibility, as consumers to know how what we eat affects us. But what doesContinue Reading >>

Featured above is my go to power meal comprised of Kale, Quinoa, Wild Salmon, Miso Ginger dressing, and a sprinkle of Nutritional Yeast! Not only does it taste fresh and delicious, it feeds my body and brain to the fullest leaving me super energetic. Most of the ingredients are basic but let’s talk for a moment about Nutritional Yeast, is it another hippy fix or is there some value in dusting your food with this powder? For the most part the Yeast is used to add flavor to foods, it is yellow in color and has a nutty cheesy flavorContinue Reading >>

The other day, I ate lunch at Gap Inc. headquarters in San Francisco. It happens to be on the top floor, and it’s beautiful. I was surprised to see their cafeteria serve grass-fed beef and poultry as well as EVERYTHING being organic. I default to the Cobb Salad, because in most cafeterias it’s the one dish that you’ll find with that’s gluten-free (minus the croutons), high in protein, no lectins, and actually fills you up!

Way before I began the Paleo Journey, I’ve always been a fan of Fried Shrimp. I know, not the healthiest of foods, right? As I was looking for something to prepare, I know I wanted shrimp, but I wasn’t in the mood for Coconut Shrimp tonight. Instead I wanted Fried Shrimp. Is it possible to still make this healthier and Paleo? Of course you can! Luckily, I had some Almond Meal and Coconut Flour, and the rest was history. Delicious, filling, and quick. Give it up for… Almond Meal Shrimp Ingredients: – 1 pound of shrimp – 2 cage freeContinue Reading >>
