There are a couple breaking stories that I want to make sure you know about… Newly released emails show how  Monsanto infiltrated a scientific journal  and persuaded them to retract a published study which revealed tumors on rats who were fed GMOs and Roundup. This has been coined the “Seralini Study”, which Monsanto has attacked since its initial publication in 2012. Over the years, many people have been misled to believe this study was a farce. This is one of the reasons why the dangers of GMOs coupled with Roundup continues to be questioned by the press and public. Monsanto will do anything to cover up the health risks of using their chemicals. The website Forbes just  ended their relationship with writer Henry Miller  after discovering that Monsanto ghost-wrote his article that was trying to downplay the cancer risk of Roundup. Forbes took the article down from their website yesterday but you’ve got to wonder how many people it misled since that article...

I’m a little nervous. For whatever reason, I always get the jitters before hosting people at my house. Usually it’s for a dinner party or birthday celebration or something similar and more intimate, with close friends. People who aren’t expecting anything out of you except good food and good conversation in other words. Today’s different. Today, I’m hosting a group of students and graduates of the Primal Health Coach certification program . These are people who have devoted their time, money, and energy to gain a deep understanding of the Primal Blueprint concepts and to learn how to become effective and successful health coaches. These are folks who have joined me in my mission to create a global network of coaches to transform the health and wellness of communities around the world using ancestral health principles. And now, they’re making an even bigger commitment: to the Primal Health Coach Masterclass —a weekend retreat designed to help Primal Health Coach stud...

Is smelling your food making you fat? Smell and metabolism may be more closely connected than we realize, a new study suggests.   Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, temporarily eliminated the sense of smell in adult mice and found that obese smell-deficient mice shed serious weight, slimming down to a sleek physique even while eating a high-fat diet. Meanwhile, mice who retained their sense of smell ate the very same amount of fatty food (and moved around the same amount ) as the smell-deficient mice and packed on the weight, ballooning to twice their previous weight, the researchers say.   A third group of mice with a super sharp sense of smell — super smellers — were also fed the same amount of fatty food. Guess what happened to them? Yep. They bulked up even more on the high-fat diet than the mice with normal senses of smell.   The research suggest that our ability to smell food goes beyond just helping us find and assess it. It may play an...

I get asked a lot how Mazen learned to eat healthy foods like kale salad, mussels and asparagus. Just as every child has a different temperament, I don’t think there is a one-size-fits-all formula to encourage healthy eating in kids. However, I can share my story in the hope that it might help your kids too! Here are ten things that Matt and I (and Thomas and our extended family) have done this year to encourage healthy eating. Waited patiently. Mazen was a very healthy eater from ages 6 months to about 2 years old. He gobbled down veggies as a baby and loved No Bull Burgers (made from lentils and cooked vegetables) and smoked salmon. Then, as most kids do, he went through a very picky phase. While I didn’t resort to completely bland kids foods, I stopped trying a lot of green things because I was tired of making them and wasting them (I could eat some leftovers but most of them got tossed on the floor!). My plan: wait it out. So years 2 and 3 were quite picky, although he did...

Hi, guys! Good morning! How are things? I can’t believe it’s already Thursday – and, whoa, August 3rd! This summer is seriously flyyyyyying by! Earlier this week, we took a trip to Cape Cod. We spent a couple of nights at our friends’ house and had so much fun with them. Our boys are just over a year apart and get along really well, so it was nice/hilarious to see them play together. Plus, the adults have a lot in common and we all just had a blast together! Since it’s just about Friday, it’s time for the next edition of  What I’m Loving Lately  where I share what I’m especially loving this week. I have quite the round-up with a few details about my next new endeavor, which is balancing my hormones. Oy. They’ve been messed up for such a long time. Read on for details + what I’m loving this week! Train Like a Pro   –  I was recently selected to compete in the Massage Envy “Train Like a Pro Challenge.” Over the next few weeks, I’ll be using their al...

Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight! I did a little online shopping for Mazen last week and the cutest swim trunks came in the mail for him. These were a steal for only about $7. I love the neon! We tested them out at the pool all afternoon yesterday. I also bought him these shoes (GAP is always having 20-50% off sales) and they are super cute in person. ALSO – this came in the mail today! I am looking for outfits for Mazen to wear to the wedding, and I thought this was super cute. It’s hard to find formal wear for kids! I found it on Amazon (for $32 – not bad) but he hasn’t tried it on yet to see if it fits. I suspect the pants will need hemming. I will let you know how it works out. I went to strength class this morning – killing the workouts this week! 4 for 3.   This song  {Angel} was my favorite from the class playlist. Back at home I worked on a recipe that I’ll be sharing next week. Hint: it involves bacon and jalapenos! I took a shower and ate too man...

Hi, friends! As you guys already know, I’m a HUGE fan of meal prep. I truly cannot live without it and have no idea how I functioned before discovering its awesomeness. Ha! I typically grocery shop on Saturday afternoon or first thing on Sunday morning with the goal of meal prepping that afternoon. Those few hours save tons of time during the week and having all of that delicious food prepared and ready to go, gives me no excuse not to eat well. I mean, all I have to do is EAT it! With that, here are some of my favorite make-ahead meals to add to your prep day! Breakfast Crazy Easy Crockpot Steel-Cut Oatmeal – Carrots ‘N’ Cake This recipe is only 3 ingredients, and I love how simple and versatile it is. Just throw the ingredients in your crockpot, set it, and forget it!
