Mark’s said it before: He advocates for collagen to become the fourth macronutrient . Collagen supports collagen-based structures in the body, such as fascia, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, skin, nails, and hair, and most of us just don’t get enough of it from meat, dairy, eggs, or plant proteins. Learn more about the important role glycine, the primary amino acid found in collagen protein, and check out our creative culinary ways to include more collagen in your diet. Reasons to Include Collagen in Your Diet Most people regard amino acids in one of two ways: essential, meaning our bodies can’t synthesize them, or inessential, meaning our bodies can. There’s also a third category of amino acids: conditionally essential, which become essential in times of illness and heightened stress. One such conditionally essential amino acid is glycine. A research review published in the journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity found that glycine plays a crucial role in controllin...

Hi Robb and Nikki, As a regular and deeply appreciative listener of the ‘Healthy Rebellion’ podcast, it’s reminded me to reach out and thank you for the wealth of information you have given to the public and specifically, how it’s impacted my life. A decade ago, when I was in my mid-20’s, I had a doctor take a look at my ethnic ancestry (part Samoan/Chinese and German/Polish) and with a shrug and somewhat defeated tone, she said “you’ll get diabetes II someday… it’s just your genetic bias.” I was shocked. As a woman who was 5’5, 130 lbs with “normal” labs, I was shocked to hear this and was/am determined to prove her wrong. The doctor didn’t recommend much to change this destiny and so I began to research and learn on my own. Enter your book, ‘Wired to Eat’ which was a critical foundation to better understanding myself and through the carb testing, I learned the foods that left me feeling good and also what impacted my blood sugars. Fast forward to 2018, I became pregnant and was di...

This past weekend we took Mazen skiing for the first time! We are lucky to live so close to the mountains, so we headed to Wintergreen Ski Resort about 45 minutes from Charlottesville for a day trip. We left Birch at home with the best Nona a family could ask for! Thomas spent years up on the mountain snowboarding with his buddies and worked as a snowboard instructor, so he was excited take us for the first time. Here are our tips for skiing at Wintergreen! 1 // Get there very early Ideally we would have gone on a weekday, but multiple factors, including having a full-day babysitter for Birch, meant that we needed to brave the Saturday crowds. We were up before sunrise and out the door by 7:30 to arrive well before 9. We had easy parking and short-ish lines. Thomas owns all of his equipment, but Mazen and I had to rent ours, so we were glad to get through the equipment lines relatively quickly. We were on the slope around 9! 2 // Book lessons a month in advance We had hoped to p...

This white bean hummus is a delicious rendition of this beloved, classic dip. If you love hummus but enjoy the occasional twist in flavor, give this version a try. Made with navy beans and cannellini beans instead of chickpeas, the slight difference in flavor is delicious and pairs will with just about anything you care to dip in it. WHY CHANGE THE BEANS? Firstly, for a subtle change in flavor. But also, because navy beans have way more fiber than chickpeas do. So it’s a nice, nutritional boost without any added effort. It’s an easy switch! You can use canned (rinsed and drained) beans or beans cooked from dry. I love to buy dry beans and cook them in my Instant Pot. It makes perfect beans every single time. WHAT TO SERVE WITH THIS DIP If you’re at a loss for what to serve with this dip, here’s a list. Just know that with this particular recipe, you can really serve just about anything with it. This is just a short list to get you started. Just about any veggies will go wel...
