No-Bake Fruit & Nut Bars (Homemade Larabars)
Though one may classify them in the “high-glycemic” column, Larabars are one of the more nutritious snack bars on the market. Using only real-food ingredients (from predominantly fruits and nuts), and refraining from using grains, industrial oils, and additives/preservatives. Keeping in mind, of course, that I’m talking about Larabar Original – which pretty much boils…
Paleo (& Egg-Free) Banana Chocolate Muffins
No Grains, Legumes or Dairy? Gluten, Soy, and Egg-Free? What more can you ask for? …Well, some animal protein would be nice! Simply put, these muffins are in the treat/indulgence column – as they’re pretty well a combination of sugar (fruit) and fat (nuts), with minimal protein. So they shouldn’t end up on your breakfast/snack…

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…
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.
