In fact, my only resolution this year is actually to blog more often! So let's get to it.I found a nice looking bag of frozen, unpeeled shrimp at my new grocery store (since moving I've swapped a Whole Foods for a Wegman's) and decided what the heck - I don't do a lot of seafood, but I always feel like I should, and ...

Homebirth: As paleo as it gets

June 14, 2014
I feel like homebirth has been getting a lot of bad press lately. It seems like much of what is being reported on is based on poorly researched and biased studies. While homebirth is not for everyone, it can be a safe choice for many low risk women and their families. Study after study have demonstrated homebirth, when planned and attended by a Registered Midwife, is safe for low risk women.Waterbirth is also safe when attended by trained midwives. Here's a link to the recent debate floating around the ...

The thyroid gland: can’t live with it, can’t live without it! At least, that’s what it seems. Could your thyroid be making you fat? And making you sick and tired if it’s not functioning optimally? Also, why are most people’s thyroids off and why is most information out there incorrect? We are extremely fortunate to have a repeat PaleoHacks podcaster (our first?) with Sean Croxton! He is leading The Thyroid Sessions, which is a free summit with over 25 thyroid experts. Over 25 experts By the ...

Amenorrhea and bone health

June 14, 2014
I know a lot of chicks who do not have their period. Most of whom aren’t looking to get pregnant yet, so they don’t really see it as much of an issue. Some even see it as a blessing.  I get that. Periods are a little inconvenient. They are messy. They hurt. BUT they play an important role in our health. As women, getting a regular, monthly period signals that our menstrual cycle is healthy, our

Yummy Chicken (or turkey) Stock

June 14, 2014
You hear about the benefits of chicken stock, both nutritional and culinary, almost everywhere you look. I tried for years to make it part of my arsenal but I had some kind of mental block and never succeeded in making a stock that I thought tasted any good at all. I would try to hide it in things so I couldn't taste it. I was very happy to finally figure out how the heck to make good tasting stock, so I will share it with you!YUMMY CHICKEN (OR TURKEY) ...

Spiced Paleo Raisinets – Sugar Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free, Paleo and Primal Challenge Friendly

June 13, 2014
Last fall, when I was doing the Whole Life Challenge with my CrossFit box, my good friend was suffering some major chocolate cravings about halfway through the 8 week long challenge. We were permitted unsweetened chocolate at our chosen level (intermediate) of the challenge, so as a "hang in there" gesture, I came up with these.These are paleo-friendly raisinets, and if you are involved in a challenge that permits their ingredients, they are little tasty nuggets of, "Phew, OK, I can do this."Here's the dealeo:Spiced Paleo RaisinetsMakes ...

Here are some highlights from our adventures. And stay tuned for a recipe for crispy oven-fried yuca! Running Dave and I escaped the ...

Let me tell you a quick story. I first visited Singapore about 10 years ago, flying solo to the city-state for a work trip. I loved this tiny country from the very start, most especially their melting pot of cultures and languages (the country has four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil). I also happened to be visiting during Chinese New Year, and the whole downtown area was filled with celebrations and fireworks – quite a welcoming sight for this young and starry-eyed traveler.

Milk Allergies and The Paleo Diet

June 12, 2014
Dear Paleo Diet Team, In the 1997 work entitled “Food and Low Incidence of Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) in Iceland” (L. Thorsdottir and O. Reykdal) have suggested that the incidence of IDDM is lower in Iceland than in other human genetic related nations of Scandinavia. Since milk proteins alleles frequencies in the Nordic cattle breeds varies and preliminary (at that time) results indicated that Beta Casein A1 was particularly low in Iceland milk, they have speculated that IDDM was caused by Beta Casein A1 and its bioactive peptide BCM...
