8 Tips For a Strong Immune System
At the time of writing this article, we’re in the midst of a pandemic – with the spread of Coronavirus hitting North America and the rest of the world, and essentially forcing us all into lockdown. So, I thought it was fitting to put together a list on what can be done from a nutrition,…
Best Blogs of 2016
Unlike the typical best-of post, this isn’t going to be a personal recap of 2016, with a commentary for each piece of writing. As personally, I have no interest in such things – whether it’s reading someone else’s, or writing one myself. (no offence!) What I will do, is list off my top posts of…
Contribution, Connection, Vitality – What Bucket Are You Neglecting?
Time is the #1 excuse for not exercising and discipline is the #1 reason for stopping. Which is sad when you recognize that (in most cases), this behavior stems from the false belief that exercise should focus on “burning calories.” And thus, requires excessive amounts of steady-state aerobic activity (aka cardio). We won’t get into…
Do You Need a Nutrition Parent? Or Did You Need a Better One?
As someone that’s heavily involved with food and nutrition, it’s hard to ignore people’s eating behavior. And to be honest, it’s kind of in my best interest to pay attention to it – as that’s what motivated me to write a book in the first place, and that’s what continues to help me succeed as…
In Bed With Big Sugar
The Journal of the American Medical Association released a paper last year highlighting a depressing statistic: Over 65% of adults in the United States are Diabetic or Prediabetic!

Struggling to Reach Your Goals? Time For a Paradigm Shift (And Maybe Some New Friends)
Setting and reaching a short-term goal isn’t easy, but most people are capable of doing it. Partly because they know where they’re going, and they know what’s required to get there, but predominantly because there’s an expiry date – so their goal is a priority for the 30, 60, or 90 day period. Unfortunately, the…
New Whole Grain Studies As Misleading As Red Meat Research?
“Six of one, half dozen of the other” is the perfect way to describe the difference between whole grains and refined grains – as you’re essentially deciding between a wire-brush with nutrients you can’t access, and a fiber-less insulin intravenous. Although, “Same shit, different day” also seems appropriate, based on what the damaging proteins in…
The Government Made You Sick…And Now You’re Paying For It!
What if I told you most of the degenerative diseases we chalk up to “bad luck” are actually behavior related? And more specifically, related to our dietary behavior? Perhaps you’d call me a quack, and maybe you’d be angry. But regardless of how it makes you feel, it’s the truth. Whether we’re talking about diabetes,…
