Dear Mark: Oily Fish Limit, Diet and Posture, Acid Reflux, Whey Replacement, Milk and Fasting, and Remembering to Live

Thanks to Argentinian Yerba Mate for sponsoring this post. I Like My Tea Strong! You guys know I’m a big tea drinker, and I’ve been enjoying working with Argentine Yerba Mate   this year. Not only am I enjoying it as a tea, but I’ve been experimenting with the flavors in smoothies , oatmeal , and even sorbet !
