Hi, guys! Many of you have been following my journey of staying active through my hip injury, and, today, I thought I’d dive into a little more detail about what this was like – and how frustrating and draining it can be! I am grateful I was able to keep up with daily exercise routine (when my schedule allowed), but it definitely required a mindshift and different way of approaching my workouts. I hope this post helps some of you in the same situation! Back in November, after running the South Shore Half Marathon , I messed up my hip. I had trained for weeks and weeks leading up to the race, but the hills on the race course KILLED ME. I was trucking along as happy as can be until the end of mile 10 or so when I started to feel some pain in my hip. I thought it was a little weird, but I’ve had hip problems in the past and it didn’t hurt all that much, so I pushed through. I finished the race without a ton of pain, but, holy hell, the next day it hurt. I figured it was j...

Hey, hey! Happy Sunday! I’m kicking off the week with five awesome workouts that I’ve done lately. They’re, for sure, challenging, but a lot of fun, too! Four out of the five are a mix of running and strength movements (some with equipment some without), which, as you probably know, are my favorite way to work out. I really think the combination of running + strength gives you the most bang for your buck! The final workout is a quick tabata that you can do just about anywhere. It’s short and sweet, so even if you’re crunched for time, you can still get moving. I hope you guys enjoy these workouts as much as I did! Happy sweating!

If you follow celebrities like Busy Philipps on Instagram, then you may have already heard about the latest red-hot wellness trend: infrared saunas. Celebs have been posting sweaty selfies from under crimson colored lights to extol the virtues of sitting in the wood-lined rooms. So we asked health and wellness experts to weigh in on why sitting in an infrared sauna can be good for you, and if a visit is worth your sweat equity. Infrared saunas use the light from infrared rays to warm your body from the inside out. The small room gets hot, but the heat is moderate enough that you can comfortably stay inside the sauna for up to 45 minutes. The longer you can last, the more you’ll soak up the sauna’s benefits. According to the Mayo Clinic , people suffering from issues such as congestive heart failure and rheumatoid arthritis have found infrared saunas to be helpful in their treatments. Another study published by the National Center for Biotechnology found that participants who spent...

Back in 2014, I submitted and you published my Primal Blueprint Success Story . Today I’m celebrating 3 years of maintaining my 40 pound fat loss and reversing my Type 2 diabetes. Woohoo! The power of the real food Primal lifestyle didn’t stop with better weight and glucose, it improved every area of my life. I’ve made new friends in my dance classes, commiserated, learned and taught primal concepts (able to help several people get healthy!) in social media groups, I’ve become more accepting of others and more confident in myself, my body has become its own bad-food-de...

In our house we rotate through three levels of dinners depending on our schedules: Classic productions of made-from-scratch food (weekend nights, entertaining, or Blue Apron, etc) Planned quick and easy recipes (favorites like Mexican bowls, Cook Smarts recipes, a quick fish/grain/veg meal, etc) Throw-together meals (cooking for one, use up what’s in the fridge, or no groceries in stock) I generally plan these based on our schedules, Mazen’s schedule, weekend verses weeknight, and other deciding factors. Well, I guess I don’t plan the throw-togethers too often, but I know they will pop up every now and then! I made this omelet on one of those “I’m alone and have nothing planned for dinner” and it turned out so great I want to make it again! I used three eggs, chopped smoked salmon, havarti cheese and dill. And I had a few spears of leftover asparagus on the side. Dinner, done and done in 5 minutes. I’ve been doing a sheet pan of roasted vegetables every w...

So I’ve been doing this grain-free thing for a while now. And with the exception of a few slip ups, it’s been a pretty good experience, albeit a bit strict. And while eating grain free automatically ups your healthy fat intake, I’m finding that I haven’t gained any weight either. So I’m not arguing! In fact, my cholesterol used to be high on the LDL (bad) and very low on the HDL (good). But since I’ve gone grain/dairy/legume free, those numbers have completely flipped! I have a huge supply of healthy cholesterol and the bad type is down considerably low. Can’t argue with that! So while I may not continue with being as strict with following a Paleo plan, I can see myself enjoying recipes like the one here for many years to come without guilt and without worry. Is going grain-free something everyone should do? No. In fact, while I understand the science behind going grain-free, I still stand firm in the fact that every person is different and every person’s body will need somethin...
