Pushing for the Perfect Poop – Using Your Stool as a Prevention Tool

Bowel movements are one of the best gauges of health. So it’s unfortunate to hear that people are uneducated on the topic, and ignoring clear signs of dysfunction. But perhaps we can blame western medicine for that – as they’d rather take your blood pressure, look in your ears and write-up a prescription then ask…

Food & Fitness Opportunity Cost – Are You Prioritizing The Right Priorities?

In life we make choices. And generally the prioritization of these choices revolves around resources. With time being the most precious. For example: We don’t stay up for another episode on Netflix because we work in 10hrs, and we like getting 8hrs of sleep. Or: We play 9 holes on Sunday instead of 18 because…

Ending the Vegetarian Debate Before it Starts

The ‘Cause’ of IBS

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects nearly 20% of the population.  But it’s not so much a disease as it is a label, for those experiencing any form of unexplainable gut discomfort – bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, etc. Basically, once doctors rule out any gastrointestinal problems they can diagnose – like acid reflux, IBD…

The Science Behind the Cheat Day

Why do I recommend a cheat day? Because one day of massive indulgence does a lot less damage than 7 days of small indulgences. It’s better to eat a lot of crap a little, than a little crap a lot. Doing this backwards is why people fail on diets! They have a nibble here and…
