Switching the “Restriction” Script; Let’s Focus on What to ADD to Our Diets
Don’t worry, I’m not going to tell you that you have to only buy organic foods and grass-fed meats and all the things that only few of us can actually afford (me not included). Instead I’m going to help you see nutrition, health, and wellness not as something you have...

It's January, the time of year when we make resolutions, often times involving manipulating our bodies. The entire second chapter of my book is focused on how our weight obsession (not our weight) is killing us. Today I want to read a short snippet for you, as a...
