14 Primal Tips for Better Hiking

Image
The most basic advice I can give about hiking is to go find a natural space and walk around. That’s it. It’s not sexy or particularly exciting, but it’s good enough. I do have some additional thoughts, though. If you want to get deeper, if you want to “upgrade” or “hack” your hiking, you’ll find today’s post useful. I’m going to offer some ideas on how to get the most out of your forays into wilderness. I’m not going to discuss multi-day hikes/backpacking, which, truth be told, I’m not nearly as experienced with. This is strictly about day hikes—the kind everyone has time to do. I’m also not going to discuss gear. It’s real easy (and fun) to geek out on all the awesome gadgets and gear you can buy for hiking, so I won’t spend much time there. Let’s get to it: 1. When choosing a hike, avoid those with the most reviews. When searching for new restaurants to try, I weigh the number of reviews more heavily than the number of stars they receive. Same for books and other products. A 4

Which Airlines Have the Healthiest Food?

Image
When we book airplane tickets, most of us consider things like timing, cost, and whether or not a given flight includes a layover. We probably don’t factor in the healthfulness of the airline’s food. But maybe we should. Some airlines serve healthier meals than others, and a new study helps travelers figure out which keep calories and cost to a minimum in the meals and snacks they offer, while maximizing nutrition, taste and sustainability. “Transparency is critical, and consumers are very interested in know about the foods they eat,” Charles Platkin, PhD, JD, MPH, the director of the NYC Food Policy Center at Hunter College, who conducted the study and edits DietDetective.com , tells Healthy Eats. “Often, travelers don’t have the time to plan out and pack their own meals. Their only choice at 30,000 feet is the food on the plane.” Platkin’s airline food study found that, overall, the average calories per in-flight food item has risen slowly and steadily in years past — from 360 in

Join Me Tomorrow for the FREE Autoimmune Revolution Summit

Image
If you’ve been with me for more than a minute, you know I stand by the power of Primal practices to help prevent, and in many cases reverse, autoimmune pain. So, when my colleague Dr. Peter Osborne told me he was gathering together leading autoimmune experts and sharing their wisdom with the world, I jumped on board enthusiastically. I’ll be a featured speaker for tomorrow, Day 3 of the FREE, online summit , which runs to Saturday, Jan. 6th. I’ll be discussing the intersection of diet, exercise and chronic autoimmune pain, specifically the foods to eliminate and overcome pain and the connection between diet and exercise injuries. (True to Primal form, I’ll also share tips for making exercise fun again!) I’m one of 35 alternative health experts and functional medicine leaders together sharing nearly 30 hours of innovative and applicable advice on living well with autoimmune disorders. During the online summit, you’ll receive expert wisdom about breaking the cycle of autoimmune pain

Solar Powered

Image
^^Flashback to beach week Mazen 2014!  I was talking to my friend Lauren one warm day when the sun came out after a series of gross, cloudy days and I commented that I felt like I had 1,000 pounds lifted off of my shoulders. “We sure are solar powered, aren’t we?” she said. 100%, yes, totally agree. I NEED sunshine. Vitamin D pills don’t cut it. Sometimes I really wonder why I don’t live in south Florida or the Caribbean or southern California (because they are insanely expensive and/or far from family and friends, but still…) At the very least I need to visit these places in the winter if possible. The good news is I am going somewhere warm soon!! We have lucked out with some really nice mild weather lately, and that makes me worried that a super blizzard is just around the corner. Breakfast English muffin with egg, cheese and jam. Plus grapefruit. Lunch kale with cranberries, ricotta cheese, and pita chips. Thomas owns a soda stream that has ended up at my house, and I am us

30-Day Challenge Analysis Part 1: Pros and Cons of 30-Day ‘Sprints’ to Ultimate Health

Image
It’s 30 days, it’s a complete lifestyle revamp and it will “change your life”, get you healthy and help you “detox” and lose weight. That’s the general premise behind most 30-day challenges out there. But do they work? I mean seriously, what can you really accomplish in 30 days and how the heck does that translate into the rest of your life? Thirty-Day Challenges and/ or Transformations can be powerful tools for developing new habits and kicking old ones to the curb. But on the opposite side of the coin, they can be a recipe for disaster and/or self-destruction. In this, the first of three posts making up the 30-Day Challenge Series, we’re going to weigh the pros and cons of signing on to one of these 30-day ‘life changing’ challenges. Let’s get this party started… 30 Days to AWESOME – The Pros: You get to ‘try before you buy’. It’s only 30-days, that’s it. It’s an opportunity to try something new, see how it works, and decide if you want to keep drinking the Kombucha. It’s sort

Ending One Challenge, Starting Another

Image
The  Primal Blueprint  21-Day Challenge is over. It’s back to regularly scheduled programming, which means no more contests, prizes, call-outs, or blatantly inspirational posts meant to motivate you to greatness (instead, I’ll resume surreptitiously encouraging you to greatness). I’m going to miss it, but 21 days is about the limit for this type of thing. A challenge wears out its welcome eventually. The best part of the Challenge is releasing contests, then sitting back and watching the content roll in. Your creativity keeps me going. Your enthusiasm sustains me. And your recipe videos make me salivate. From poke salad that took me back to Da Poke Shack on the Big Island (go there, folks—best poke on the island), to a knife-wielding cat concocting beef coconut chowder, to burgers with sweet potato buns, I was digging all the kitchen creations this year. Great recipes, great food, and great production value on the videos. Your Grokposes were awesome. The winner, Kevin Q., clearl

Escape To The 80s

Image
This weekend I escaped back to a decade where things were more carefree and I was learning long division and how to tease my super straight hair. Back to the 80s! The Legwarmers were in town, and their shows never disappoint. They’re three hours long, and there’s not a song they play that everyone in the room doesn’t know. Saturday night the Jefferson was packed, and I had such a fun girls night out on the town! We got ready at my house and headed downtown to Mono Loco for dinner. Starting with a few Spice-a-ritas! And some shooters the owner sent out on the house! Ahhh! I shared this coconut shrimp, calamari and a burrito with my girlfriends. And some chips of course! The show was a BLAST (from the past) and we had such a good time dancing! Gab-a-licious! Lauren even made it up onto the stage! Good golly! This is how the night ended. I’d say Lauren won : ) Earlier in the day, Sarah and I took the kiddos to Short Pump to run a few errands and pay a visit to our fav
