All Protein Is Not Created Equal!

All Protein Is Not Created Equal!

If you buy your protein off a store shelf, take a quick second to read - all protein is not created equal! Did you know that there are different grades of whey protein in the market space today? What does that even mean? I'm feeling pretty grateful the one our family uses as part of our lifestyle is Grade 7 quality. Grade 7 Whey is cold processed and live enzymes are preserved. No acid is ever used during the processing. The final product is the BEST quality undenatured whey in the world and…Read more
WHY CLEAN EATING MIGHT NOT BE WORKING FOR YOU

WHY CLEAN EATING MIGHT NOT BE WORKING FOR YOU

"HERE'S WHY CLEAN EATING MIGHT NOT BE WORKING FOR YOU"   Before people start incorporating NUTRITIONAL CLEANSING at the cellular level, most think clean eating, staying hydrated and exercise was what we needed to get results. Decades ago, maybe.   It has been scientifically proven through third party clinical studies (published globally in Peer REVIEWED publications), that now our bodies truly require MORE.   Most will smash green juices, tuna, veggies, hoping this gets us results. The number one complaint I get from people is that they eat well, exercise and hydrate but…Read more

Cleansing at a Cellular Level

Cleansing at a Cellular Level

  Cleanse Days are a powerful tool in helping you to reach or maintain a healthy weight. But the science behind Cleanse Days suggests there may be additional benefits for your health beyond a slimmer body. Many of us eat five times a day or more, including meals and snacks. This type of eating pattern provides your body with a steady flow of nutrients, but even when you make healthful choices about your meals and snacks, your body can still benefit from an occasional break from all-day eating. Giving Your Cells a Break…Read more
Are You Under Eating?

Are You Under Eating?

Are you eating enough? Surprisingly, under-eating can be just as damaging as over-eating. It can bring your metabolism to a grinding halt, and not give you the results you're looking for. You might not be eating enough if: ✔ Your weight isn't budging (stalled metabolism) ✔ You feel stressed or anxious all the time ✔ You're eating under approx 1200 calories per day ✔ You're constantly tired ✔ Have no energy when you work out ✔ Have trouble falling or staying asleep ✔ Insatiable food cravings, binges or are always thinking about food…Read more

How to Outsmart Mindless Overeating

When you sit down to eat a meal, there’s a lot more affecting your eating choices than just your appetite. Subtle surroundings can actually influence how much you eat. A recent study published in the journal PLoS ONE suggests that whether you are eating lunch with coworkers or out to dinner with your family, the people you eat with have an effect on how much you eat. Other studies have shown that the amount you eat during a meal can also be influenced by the size of the dishes used to serve your…Read more
Do you really understand ingredients?

Do you really understand ingredients?

Recently, I was asked about the ingredients in the nutritional superfood products our family consumes, as they felt the ingredients were not healthy and artificial. This made me look more deeply into this and how to best explain these ingredients. Here is a good way to explain them. I care too much about food labels. If something has monosodium glutamate (E621) or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in it, I’m probably not going to buy it no matter how healthy or delicious the food looks as a whole. Some people care about different…Read more
Why You Need Protein to Stay Stronger As You Age

Why You Need Protein to Stay Stronger As You Age

If you’ve reached your 50s or 60s, your body’s needs for dietary protein may have taken an unexpected turn upward. If you want the same muscle-building response that a mere 10-20 grams of protein could produce in your youth, then new research suggests you’re better off getting 30 or more grams in each meal. In addition, whey protein can help maximize your anabolic response from daily intake of protein while also helping you with weight management. Beyond 30 Grams Per Meal In a recent study, University of Mississippi investigators found that older adults…Read more
But I eat healthy!

But I eat healthy!

"But I eat healthy! Why do I feel bloated, sluggish, tired, no energy (insert feelings of blah here) all the time?" How can we feel so good incorporating supplemental superfoods and yet we don't feel the same when we eat "healthy"? The problem isn't the fruits and veggies you're eating - it's everything surrounding it. Because of soil depletion, crops grown decades ago were much richer in vitamins and minerals than what we get today at the grocery store or in markets. Our soil is so nutritionally bankrupt that what we eat now…Read more
