Stop Using Your Gender as an Excuse One thing I hear all the time is women blaming their weight, or inability to achieve a desired physique on the fact they are a woman. Now listen, of course there are physiological and anatomical differences between a man and woman. Of course our hormonal structure is different, whereby men have a much higher level of naturally occurring testosterone and women have […]
Grazing vs. Bingeing: How it Hurts Fat Loss Food is energy, calories are how we measure how much energy our food will provide us. When we eat, it raises our blood sugar and this suggests a presence of food energy in our body. When blood sugar rises as a response to our digesting meal, this in turn releases insulin. Insulin binds to the blood sugar i.e. glucose, and carries […]
Insulin Spikes Are Ruining Your Goals No matter what macronutrient you eat, i.e. protein, carbs, or fats…there will be an insulin response. Our pancreas will secrete insulin when there is an indication of food energy i.e. calories in the system. Our food is digested and insulin binds to glucose, and carries it to where it needs to go. Where you want it to go is into your muscle bellies, […]
Restore Probiotic Review & The Effects Of Mass Farming On Our Guts Restore is a liquid probiotic, but what makes this probiotic stand out from the rest is the addition of carbon molecules/snowflakes. Pre-WW2 soil was rich with carbon molecules, but due to mass farming our soil is weak with carbon molecules and good nutrients.

Long Hair Don’t Care: Eat For Hair Growth Hair is made up of protein. The building blocks of protein are amino acids, essential amino acids come from the food we eat.

BEFORE: Feb. 11th, 2013 I would say 2012-2013 was one of the most destructive years of my life. It was a year filled with endings and new beginnings. Only now can hindsight prove how thankful I am for that year being as destructive as it was. Finishing my last year of Kinesiology, any grad can share in the empty, “now what?” feeling, wondering how to use our degrees […]
The movie theatre is the best date spot, and it’s so nice to unwind and “escape reality” for a couple of hours. The whole experience of the movies and the nostalgia is the popcorn, the candy, pop, pretzels, hot dogs, nachos. Now the VIP sections are making it almost impossible to stay on track with a wider menu and drink options…oh the temptation!! But let’s face it, it simply […]
Cool Sculpting: Is it Effective at Burning Fat?
