Everything You Wanted to Know About Gluten | Presentation Notes from Dr. Tom O’Bryan

March 20, 2012

I attended an online summit recently centered around all things paleo & anti-inflammatory. It was nothing short of incredible – with many of the top industry leaders giving presentations on the latest evolutionary nutrition news, and doing so for free, it was like college but so much more awesome. 🙂 I took notes on the […]

Adrenal Fatigue: Real or Not? Major Publication gets it VERY wrong

June 28, 2011

I’m publishing here a letter I sent in to the Editor in Chief of Health Magazine in regard to the significant inaccuracies that Health Magazine published in their most recent issue. While not everyone agrees on the types of things that are healthiest, there are irrefutable facts of human science that a medical doctor should […]

Calorie Restriction without Calorie Quality|Destined for Weight Loss Failure

February 20, 2011

Most people, at some time in their life will try to lose weight. After a baby, after college binge-ing, before a wedding, before a race – at some point – everyone will probably try to shed some weight. And there are thousands of gimmick-y ways to drop that weight – what you don’t think about […]

A milestone in my health journey!

November 26, 2010

I’m rushing around today getting ready to leave for vacation with Drew – it’s our 3rd one together – and I just got news that it’s going to be the one that I go into with the best health out of all the years he’s known me!! You see, our first vacation together was before […]

Stress-Tear-Adapt-Grow-Stress-Tear-Adapt-Grow

October 20, 2010

This is the cycle your muscles go through in order to get stronger, leaner, denser, bigger. Without going through it, you cannot expect your muscles to change in any way. If you lift a 5lb weight every time you workout, your body won’t recognize that as a challenging enough stress to foster the micro-tear needed […]

Glutamine: an amino acid that can offer huge health benefits

June 6, 2010

I am non-Celiac gluten sensitive. It means I don’t have Celiac disease, but absolutely should not eat gluten if I want to live to my full life expectancy, as a happy, healthy, fit person. There’s a 1 in 33 chance you, yes YOU, are also non-Celiac gluten sensitive, and a 1 in 133 chance you’re […]

Modified Food Starch|Gluten Intolerance or not, eat at your own risk

April 6, 2010

As you know if you read this blog for any amount of time, I am gluten intolerant. Not Celiac level intolerant. Mildly gluten intolerant. And if you read posts here, or have heard me on my soapbox, you know that “mildly gluten intolerant” does not mean it’s ‘more OK’ to allow a little gluten to sneak […]

Eat Well, Live Long – An interview with my naturopath

December 16, 2009

Two of the easiest (and cheapest!) things you can do to manage your health are -exercise & -eat well. Of late, there has been a massive over-saturation of food-products that claim to help “lower this!” or “increase your fiber intake that!” (very few of which actually are what they claim). This over-saturation does make it more challenging to know what is truly […]

RK Tip of the Week|Your bounce-back guide to fitness & health

December 9, 2009

Ok, so you’re back in town. You drank too many margaritas. You threw ‘hunger’ to the wind at your all-inclusive & ate at the buffet/human trough more times than you can remember, and you may have forgotten to workout “enough” on vacation. No this does not totally describe me right now. Not totally. Too many […]
