Well, guys, this post is quite the random mix of topics: Qigong, walkie talkies , air fryer Parmesan-crusted salmon, and books about mind-body healing. How’s THAT for variety? Haha! I really think this is the most random blog post on CNC to date! 🙂 And I would love to hear which topic you found most interesting. Please leave a comment below with your thoughts! I tried Qigong for the first time yesterday . I just finished a great book , and its author had amazing success healing her body through through Qigong, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to try. It wasn’t a traditional fitness class in the sense that you were sweating and working super hard, but the moving meditation was really great for relaxing. It’s funny even a few years ago, I would have thought a class like this was a waste of time, but now I realize how important it is for me to calm my mind if I want to live a happy, healthy life. I just feel like Qigong is something I need right now. Quinn is loving his new walkie t...

Olive oil is the great uniter of the dietary tribes. While your Ray Peatians might grumble at the 10% PUFA content and hardcore carnivores will balk at its vegetal origins, the vast majority of dietary camps—vegans, vegetarians, paleo, Primal, keto, Mediterranean, Weight Watchers, etc.—consider olive oil to be a healthy fat. I have it on good authority that Walter Willet oils his mustache with Croatian olive oil, Dean Ornish conditions his hair with Cretan olive oil, and Peter Attia keeps a bathtub full of Damascan olive oil behind a secret panel in his library that only unlocks if you complete a tabata session on his Peloton. I even saw Shawn Baker sneaking sips from a flask with green oily fingerprints when we recently hung out. Everyone likes olive oil. There are almost no exceptions. This is about where I usually step in to make a contrarian claim about the super-popular food, citing some arcane study or pointing out an evolutionary argument against it. Not with olive oil. As mu...

Soooo, anxiety has been kicking my butt lately, and it’s so frustrating. What’s even worse is that I have no idea why it’s plaguing me right now – it basically came out of nowhere. It could be related to everything going on in my gut right now. (Mind and body, especially the gut, are highly connected AND vice versa.) Ever since I had a colonoscopy back in May, I’ve dealt with some (mostly) minor flare symptoms.* I just can’t seem to kick them, and I’ve struggle with seemingly “out of nowhere” anxiety. I really haven’t had crazy anxiety like this since my Designed to Fit/Nutrition House Software days (and, god, I hated my life then), so it seems so mysterious to me. I honestly felt like I made great strides with managing my anxiety, but then, boom, it hit me hard. I’ve found myself amped up and worried about things I haven’t thought twice about in months and months. Ughhhh… Long story short, I decided to focus on a few things that I’m feeling really good about lately. Sometimes focus...

A big thanks to Olivia for this guest post about how to make cold brew coffee! Olivia is an avid traveler, has a quest for adventure, and a coffee junkie. She co-writes at Fourth Estate Coffee and Pretty Home . She lives to travel and explore and can never say no to a well made cup of coffee. You guys know how much I love my morning cup of iced coffee, so I was especially excited when she offered to contribute to CNC. Everyone has a different take on how to make cold brew coffee (here’s how I make my morning iced coffee ), so here’s another method for cold brew from Olivia. I hope you enjoy it!  Cold press coffee, also commonly known as cold brew coffee can be easily misunderstood for iced coffee and other such caffeine-based/blended drinks that are poured over ice. In order to make a cold brew coffee, we don’t simply add ice to the coffee. How to make cold brew coffee? Cold-brew coffee calls for a different method of extraction. To make cold brew coffee, you require f...

For today’s edition of Dear Mark, I’m answering questions about vitamin K2 and microworkouts. The last two posts on both topics garnered a number of good questions. What’s the best dose of vitamin K2? Should statin users taking vitamin K2, since statins inhibit vitamin K2 activity and production? Can vitamin K2 prevent or reverse arterial calcification? Is butter an adequate source of vitamin K2? What about vitamin D—does it synergize with vitamin K2? Regarding microworkouts, what if you can only do a couple pull-ups at once? Should you alternate muscle groups when doing microworkouts? Can microworkouts work with normal gym workouts? How does one do microworkouts in an office? Let’s find out: What’s the recommended dose of vitamin K2? There’s no official RDA for vitamin K2. For vitamin K in general, it’s 0.09 mg. As some of the commenters have alluded, very few medical professionals have vitamin K2 on their radar. I wonder if the RDA is sufficient. Up to 45 mg per day of MK4 has...

Hi from Duck, North Carolina! We’re here on the Outer Banks for a week with Thomas’s side of the family: his parents, John and Eileen; his brother, Clay, and his wife Melissa and their son Nash. Our house is pretty awesome with a super cool ocean-view pool. We’ve been alternating beach/pool/pool/beach since we arrived. The ocean has been great, and the sun shining. We’re soaking up the last few rays of summer before school starts  next week!    The post Lucky Ducks appeared first on Kath Eats Real Food . from Kath Eats Real Food https://ift.tt/2YNK1MI
