The key to feeling happy isn’t what you thought. This makes all the difference! (Organic Vitamin D3)

Several years ago I worked in a corporate office environment and lived in a city condo. I’d wake up, walk down to the indoor gym in my condo, and then drive from one below-ground parking garage to another. I literally NEVER went outside. Then I’d work all day in a building that had tunnels to get to various lunch spots. The next day I’d do it all over again…again. After awhile I noticed that I just didn’t feel like myself and was starting to feel depressed. I’ve always felt it’s important to trust your intuition and listen to your body. Because if you don’t, who will? So, I went in to get some blood work done and my doctor told me that my vitamin D levels were low. This made perfect sense! You see, exposing yourself to sunlight every day is a primary way to keep your vitamin D levels up. And since I was basically hiding inside all day long, my vitamin D levels to PLUMMETED.  Even if you don’t work in an office, this could be happening to you too. Experts say over 1 billion people

Why you shouldn’t rely on orange juice for Vitamin C

One of my favorite things to do is take my daughter Harley to music class… She’s 2 1/2, so this is a fun time for her to get some social skills and meet other kids. But meeting new kids comes with meeting new germs that can be tough for her immune system to handle. Of course, I wash Harley’s hands before and after class, but DURING class things get a little tricky. Especially when a little 6-month-old decides to drool all over the drum Harley wants to play with… RIGHT BEFORE Harley decides to rub her face. Perfect. As a mom – you can see it all unfold right in front of your eyes in slow motion. You don’t even have time to grab a wipe and before you know it, her immune system can’t cope and she ends up getting sick. And then it spreads… I get sick… my husband gets sick… it’s a vicious cycle.  When I was sick as a child, my mom would give me orange juice. It’s a great source of vitamin C and good for your immune system, right? Well, not quite. Watch this video to see why orange ju

Tired, anxious, and irritable? The ONE thing missing from your health routine!

Back when I was working my high-powered corporate job, I was a mess. I wasn’t eating well. I was full of anxiety and stress. I DEFINITELY wasn’t sleeping well. And I got very irritated by the smallest things too. Actual footage of me screaming into a pillow at night after work… You’ve probably been there too…  You know, those times when you’re staring at the computer screen and can’t concentrate. Those times you’re banging your head against the wall, trying to remember something. And how about those times that you get a little too heated while talking to a loved one. We have ALL been there! And, you know where much of this irritability and frustration comes from? Lack of sleep. So what can you do when you find yourself unable to face the day? More Coffee? You’ve already had two cups and are starting to twitch. A Sugary Snack? You don’t need that junk.  These solutions only help treat the symptoms and NOT the cause. You’re tired. And a good day begins with GOOD sleep. So w

Hat Is Matte Black

(If you didn’t get that, my title is an Old Town Road reference!) Have you noticed the matte filter I’ve been using a lot? I’m mildly obsessed It makes photos look so moody! And corrects bad lighting so well. Happy FRI-YAY! Starting the day off with a Daily Harvest smoothie in a bowl with granola on top. This was the carrot + chia flavor and I loved it! My top flavors are Acai + Cherry, Blueberry + Hemp and Carrot + Chia. I had the leftovers the next day from a jar plus nibbles of the kids’ breakfasts. You know how that goes Movin’ and Groovin’ Birchie boo has been all over the house climbing up on things (and bonking his little head on things ) Suddenly he’s such a curious little boy. It must be fun to finally be able to explore. And of course it’s the cutest thing ever when he comes crawling to my feet and looks up at me. If I say “uppy” he will raise his arms so I can pick him up <3 Fresh Italian Cooking Alex Caspero wrote the cookbook Fresh Italian Cooking For

Show Notes:   1. Endurance Fueling For A Keto Athlete [2:00]   Cassandra says: Dear Robb + Nicki, First off…thanks for the great job you two do in making complicated nutrition and fitness information easy to access and understand (even for uneducated gym rats like myself).  I’ve been listening to the podcast for years, reading the blog and the books (just got Wired to Eat) and I still find myself learning something new almost weekly. Bottom line up front – how do you guys recommend tackling post-workout nutrition for endurance / high-intensity sports while on the keto train? I’m 35, 5’8”, 155 lbs with a fairly muscular build.  I’ve been doing the Crossfit + weightlifting thing for 5-6 years now (4-6 times a week).  I’ve got 10 stri
