Lately, I’ve had a few people ask me what I do for arm workouts. I don’t usually tell people too much about my own workouts because, well, I’m not super organized about it. I just make sure to do several minutes of strength training a few times a week. If I’m being dedicated, I work …

Today, I worked for most of the day, and I also decided to switch out my blog header—and threw in some beets from last summer’s garden. Partly because the picture wasn’t fuzzy, and partly because it reminds me of summer. You know, that time of year when the sun comes out in NY! My plan …
Happy New Year, Friends! I had a great New Year’s Eve with Joe and some of his friends (they’re really our friends, but they started out as his). We went to Ithaca and drank, ate, and danced. Joe and I weren’t out the latest, and we didn’t drink the most, but we had a ton …

I love all things coconut. Coconut is super high in saturated fat. I’ve learned so much about saturated fat over the last few years—the nutritional scape goat villain of the last few decades turns out to be not at all what I thought. Did you know that saturated fat studies (you know, the ones that …
What foods are perfect or best for us? Often people look to exotic fruits—things like goji berries, cacao beans, and maca powder, imported and overflowing with certain nutrients. I’m a fan of those things—but I’m not so much a fan of their price tags. I like the idea of micronutrient loading, and promote it to …

I’m running around like crazy this week…not to say that some of it isn’t for fun! A new client of mine and I were exploring ideas for better afternoon snacks—ones that don’t mess so much with blood sugar (like chocolate covered pretzels). I came up with these (and named them J Balls, after my client): …

I’ve been searching for a way to “get healthier” for the past few years. Honestly, once my sister died, my health really began going downhill—I could probably associate it with also having been entering my late 20’s at the time, but I think that stress may have been a catalyst. Regardless of the reason, it …
Last night, Katelyn and I went to Lori’s Natural Foods in Henrietta to listen to the amazingly awesome Brendan Brazier talk about Stress and Food. We sat in the front row, and I could have totally reached out and touched Brendan’s feet. Not that I would have. I first read Brendan’s first book a few …
This week flew by, didn’t it?! Since I’m working mostly from home all summer, distinguishing between weekdays and the weekend really doesn’t matter too much—except that more people are around me on the weekends, so I get less work done (a-Ok with me!). I’m still grinning at my garden pics—and there will be more to …
