The Best Air Purifier For Your Health

Image
Have you ever been near a window inside your home when the sunshine was coming in just right and saw little particles floating in the air? I’m sorry to tell you that this isn’t just dirt… and that there is a lot more lurking in those little particles (carcinogens, hormone disruptors, bacteria, developmental toxins), which go right into your body every time you breathe.  Even if your house is super clean and although you can’t always see these particles in the air, we’ve all got some level of dust in our home – which is just the reality of modern day life, full of industrial chemicals. Everyday household items like your furniture, carpets, flooring, window shades, cleaning products, beauty products, paint, clothing, and beds, are emitting microscopic chemicals into the air, which float around and settle onto surfaces as dust. Researchers at George Washington University tested household dust samples and found 45 toxic chemicals , many of which were floating in the air before sett

Eats + Workous (9/25)

Hi, guys! Holy cow, I can’t believe it’s already Monday again. The weekend flewwwww by! And I have a feeling the week ahead is going to feel the exact same way. Kerrie and I are off to San Francisco for a two-day sales conference with our business mentor to learn how to sell our nutrition software . It’s going to be an intense couple of days, but we’re ready to get alltheknowledge ! We’re also planning some non-software adventures (hopefully, hiking and vineyards), so if you have recommendations, please let us know! EATS Last week’s eats were great overall. I followed my meal plan for the Post-Summer Slim Down , which was a nice break from tracking macros in MyFitnessPal. All of the work was done for me, so I just had to prep and eat the meals and snacks. Sunday through Thursday were on-point for the most part, but then with dining out and concert fun on Friday, I did my own thing for a lot of the weekend. I’m soooo not black and white when it comes to food, and it was a nice bal

Dear Mark: TRT Edition

Image
Last week’s post on testosterone replacement therapy generated a lot of comments and questions, so for today’s edition of Dear Mark I’ll be answering some of them. From the prostate and heart disease issues to the high T/low free T phenomenon to the question of women and TRT to keto’s effect on testosterone to chronic cardio’s, you folks came up with some good ones. First, Polyphemus made a suggestion: Probably worth addressing the worry about heart and prostate issues. The prostate is SUCH a classic issue for the same population that might want TRT. (including me) Absolutely. Let’s look at prostate cancer first. The most recent studies (and many of the older ones) suggest that TRT is safe, or even protective, for the prostate. In May of this year, a study found that while TRT patients had an increased diagnosis of favorable-risk (less deadly) prostate cancer, they had a decreased incidence of aggressive prostate cancer. Furthermore, the authors suggested that the increase

Three Salads // One Bowl

Image
For the longest time I’ve used my shallow white soup bowls for salads. I think that I have been using the wrong bowls for a long time! Perhaps that explains my distaste for salads this year. B E C A U S E….I’ve started to use a big glass mixing bowl for salads and suddenly I like them again!? I am weird, I know. I think it’s something about the combination of deeper sides, volume inside the bowl, and the way the ingredients fall back down that makes for a better salad eating experience! Note my hand for scale! The first salad I enjoyed in this big ole bowl you have already seen. It had arugula, a white wine + Dijon dressing, feta, slivered almonds and sardines. Second on the list was leftover Cook Smarts cod and pearled couscous. Plus more arugula and that delicious butter sauce on top! I heated up this fish so this was more like a grain bowl : ) And lastly, greens with tuna and sardine salad, raisins, almonds, and a lemony white wine dressing. Do you have a dedicated sala
