Why do you have such hard callouses on your hands?""I'm a weightlifter. I do CrossFit." "Oh! I have heard of that! I attended a wedding over New Year's where the bride and groom and everyone at the reception were CrossFitters. That's how the bride and groom got together, in fact. What ...

What Should You Feed Your Baby? — Part Two

In Part I of this article — we discussed some misconceptions about what is and isn’t healthy for a baby to eat.

We just have too much history together to ever get on the right track.  I think we need to just go our ...

And it seems to be somewhat of a grey area for Paleo
