One of the best things you can do to extend your healthspan (time spent not just alive, but healthy) is to increase produce. About 2/3 of our plate at any given meal consists of vegetables or fruit, but I didn’t…
Mushrooms have been high on the nutrition trends list for a while now. I remember prior to 2015 it seemed like mushrooms were some kind of empty calorie topping you might put on your pizza, but fast forward to today…
There have been a few disturbing headlines recently that are worth looking into. Recent research published in The Lancet Public Health has unveiled a concerning trend: a significant increase in cancer incidence among young adults. This study challenges the long-held…
Tissue tolerance is underrated. I’ve learned many things from training and working with clients for nearly two decades, and one that most people don’t consider is tissue tolerance. I was first forced to consider this capacity in 2014 when it…
Forget expensive creams and risky surgeries – the secret to looking and feeling younger might be hiding in your produce aisle! It’s my first post in ages, (but I haven’t stopped learning!), so I wanted to share some things I’ve…
Hey guys! It’s that time again… This year’s No Meat Athlete Plant-Based Heath & Fitness Bundle is the biggest ever with 46 meal-plans, cook books, and strength/fitness guides! It’s valued at over $2669.61, but for this weekend it’s just $95.…
I had a great time recently speaking all about my story, as well as my training and nutrition with the esteemed Chef AJ! We have crossed paths many times in the past at events but somehow never managed to collaborate,…
According to new research from Oxford and Yale, physical activity has a greater impact on your mental health than your economic status! I think this is an intuitive result (at least for anyone working in the fitness industry), but it’s…
If you haven’t seen any of their work, Switch4Good is a platform for athletes advocating against dairy for health and performance. They feature world class athletes, produce excellent, well informed content, and have a great podcast; which I was…
This is a question that seems to keep coming up (at least in our news feed), so let’s discuss! Headlines just last week were all over the internet about a new cohort study from Tufts University which illustrated the…
Just in case anyone wasn’t sure on this point, they do. This myth came from the 1971 book Diet For a Small Planet by Francis Moore Lappe, who stated that plants are deficient in certain essential amino acids and therefore…
Or give you cancer, or turn you into a woman (guys), or cause deficiencies, etc etc. Following up on last month’s meme (you gotta see it!) with this one. Unless you are allergic, soy is completely fine. Seriously! Soy is…
A long time client and friend had a wedding this weekend, and in addition to tearing up the dance floor 😀 we had the rare chance to dress up – except if you look closely you’ll notice we both…
We just got back from our annual trip to Vegetarian Summerfest in Johnstown, PA and picked up some new ideas we want to share! If you’re not familiar, Vegetarian Summerfest is a plant-based summit of nutrition and health experts, cooking…

I’ve been perfecting the craft of whole-food vegan shakes for nearly a decade now. When I started, my goal was simply to pack the most possible calories and protein into a drink made from whole plant foods – and you…
I’ve been reading a lot about the impact of various lifestyle factors on mortality risk (as I usually do), and I came across a very interesting meta-analysis on whether or not the health impact of sitting can be offset. As…

Like many bloggers, we don’t write all our content in any one place, and over time our audience of readers changes and older content can get forgotten. With this in mind I spent some time this week looking through some…
