The other day, while waiting in line to order an espresso at a certain local coffee establishment, I overhead the most interesting serious of commentary from two women standing in front of me in line, all of which had one thing or other to do with diet, nutrition or health.

Read More ›None that I’m aware of! It’s funny, though, to consider how many of us convince ourselves that somehow, certain calories are somehow not going to be recognized by the body as such. Liquid calories come to mind first off. Having a black americano over ice is vastly different from a venti-mocha-frappe type drink, the latter […]
Read More ›I was thrilled to hear a piece about an initiative that the Bill & Melinda Gates are funding, which supports “studying the best ways to disseminate the more nutritious varieties of sweet potatoes to farmers and their families.” Their website outlines some of the basics: Many of the two billion people in the developing world […]
Read More ›I find it downright amazing when I really stop and think about what the human body can do in terms of rebuilding itself, recovering from stress or trauma and completely transforming itself….when given the proper stimuli.

A devoted blog reader, who is about to embark on a hike of 230 miles of the Pacific Coast Trail, shared this email with me the other day: “I give a talk about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, and wherever […]
