Whew, it has been a MINUTE (okay a whole year and change) since I’ve posted on this site. I’d like to blame moving across the world, but that happened six months ago and I have…no other excuse other than inertia. Moving on. Ironically, the first post I thought about doing to get back into it was …
Yes, bro, I used to be like you. I thought supplements were important, a mark of whether you were a serious gym rat or just messing around on the treadmill or something. Want to build serious muscle? Get a pre-workout in before your lift session, bro. You want to gain size? Grab your shaker bottle …
I’m not one for fad diets. As someone who is always looking into nutrition for the answer to feeling great and (hopefully) also sporting a six pack, a “diet” is not what I would suggest. It’s more about your lifestyle – our bodies all respond differently, but individual factors aside, I’m comfortable making the sweeping statement …

It never really lasted, and neither did the results. It hasn’t been until the last couple of years that I felt really settled with a “lifestyle” …
Have you heard of this notion of “biohacking?” (Don’t just Google it, that brings up a less than stellar definition). In simple terms, I’m talking about using methods or devices to “hack” your body for better health. One of my favorite fitness gurus, Ben Greenfield, might be one of the craziest biohackers out there. The …
On my birthday this year, my sweet husband gifted me with one of the most amazing inventions of all time, the Vitamix blender. Months before this, my friends who owned Vitamixes acted like it was some cult that they full-heartedly believed in and needed you to join. “You can make UNICORNS in it. Your [insert any other …

Do you think you eat enough vegetables? I thought I did. Maybe I’d even venture to say, I thought I ate a lot of vegetables. Assuming you don’t keep a strict food journal, how many cups of vegetables do you think you eat every day? According to MyPlate, women should eat about 2 1/2 to 3 cups …
