This morning at swim practice, our coach announced some swimmers who’d run the LA Marathon this past weekend. One woman had completed her first marathon, an accomplishment in her own right. Another elite athlete had run a 2:31. Both grinned ear to ear while the rest of us applauded. A third swimmer, when asked […]
Read More ›I’ve heard it many a time: ‘I think Paleo sounds interesting but I love animals so I’m a vegan’. In fact, I lived that role for two full years when I followed a strict vegan diet as part of my own food/nutrition/eating path. Back then, I was black and white about my views…rigid, even. It […]
Read More ›You went Paleo, lost almost all those extra pounds, began to feel fantastic…and then it all came to a screeching halt. Sound familiar? What went wrong? Sometimes, clients find themselves in a situation where despite all their best efforts, everything that seems to have been working suddenly is not. This is where a little fine […]

Petite and slim with a glowing completion, I’d never in a million years have guessed that she suffered from horrible acne for years. She happened to share that with me as we discussed good places […]

During his recent US tour gathering information from a plethora of experts on a range of healthy living approaches, including Paleo, for his new international paleo cooking series, Pete has been filming interviews […]
Read More ›It happened again today. I had a meeting with an organization, which shall remain anonymous, to discuss how we (I) might implement healthy eating principles into their employees’ daily regime. They were intrigued at ‘healthy, common sense eating’, agreed with ‘local, sustainable and organic’ but as soon as the word Paleo came up, they cringed. […]
Read More ›If you’re new to Paleo and thinking your food is going to be boring without the sauces, dips and cheese you may have grown accustomed to, you’ll be happy to know that plain and Paleo do not need to go hand in hand. In addition, you also needn’t take the route of going faux paleo […]
Read More ›“Oh, what now?”, I thought to myself when I saw today’s google alert! There were references to not one, but two, articles focusing on the hazards of eating a ‘diet high in meat and eggs’ and yes, comparing the impact of doing so to the negative consequences of smoking cigarettes in terms of the […]
