Traveling and Paleo – an oxymoron?

(Me and the majestic Thai crossfitter) Hello Nutritionizers! I apologize for the disappearing act, I spent the last month in Thailand and Taiwan and was hoping to blog from there but internet was hard to find on the beach. I and my taste buds had a great time trying local foods, exploring the Asian culture, and staying as Paleo as possible from head to toe (the Vibrams were a success!) You may ask “WHY? You are on vacation, eat and be merry”. This was the common response I got from my fellow travelers as well. But nutrition is a lifestyleContinue Reading >>

Paleo beyond Food

Paleo seems to be the hottest buzz word these days. Not only are we digging into our ancestral recipe books for new food ideas but we are also going into their shoe boxes and to our surprise they are EMPTY.

Sans shoes actually make your feet stronger and maintains proper walking/running form. This wordContinue Reading >>

Silent Killer: Hypertension

  If you have ever gone to the doctor for a checkup or walked into a pharmacy you may have found your arm in a cuff experiencing a slow compression, release, and perhaps a blank look on your nurses face.

What are you hungry for?

I was chatting with a holistic psychologist at a health fair yesterday and we got to talking about Nutrition. It’s always interesting to hear other disciplines present their food findings. Food is an integral part of our beings and plays an enormous role in our culture and society. But what, how, when, and why we eat often gets confused with what, how, when, why we feel. Psychologists often see patients with various emotional issues that have manifested in attachments to specific foods. In reality one could be starving for appreciation and trying to satiate it with chicken curry and findContinue Reading >>

Strike 1: Diabetes

Happy Tuesday folks! We are going to switch gears for a moment and rather than talking about increasing performance we will focus on some facts, figures and education of our leading preventable killers. I had the opportunity to attend an awesome healthcare seminar on Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) which provided a good amount of valuable information that I will be sharing with you over the next few weeks. MNT has been an area of interest to me for years especially because of its role in Diabetes Management. We (the collective society) have finally realized that Medicine, Lifestyle and Health areContinue Reading >>
