While in Atlanta back in July to teach a Practical Paleo Seminar at CrossFit South Cobb, I had the great pleasure of sitting down to dinner at Canoe with Julie & Charles Mayfield, authors of the exciting new cookbook, Paleo Comfort Foods. What I loved about the Mayfields most was that they were very down-to-earth, genuine and fun people who love …
This is a recent testimonial from one of my clients, Lori, who lives in Ohio. When Lori first came to me, she was still eating along the lines of what many consider to be Conventional Wisdom (CW) around what is healthy food: low fat and whole grains. She had already begun to make shifts towards Paleo, but was certainly experiencing …

Many of you may be familiar with Chris’s work over at The Healthy Skeptic where he writes about important topics like heart disease and cholesterol, depression, thyroid disorders, diabesity (diabetes + obesity) and many more. I decided to ask Chris some questions since …
It seems I’ve become a bit well-known in my community as “the bacon girl.” Maybe it’s because I always seem to be eating, posting pictures of, and wearing T-shirts proclaiming my love for bacon. I’m okay with that nickname, but I have wanted to write this post for quite sometime now in order to explain my choice to consume what …
When you go from a diet filled with bread, pitas, tortillas and wraps to one that eliminates processed foods (and even all grains for many of us who follow a paleo or primal type of diet), you’re often left wondering what the heck to eat. I used to be the Queen of Sandwiches. Yes, folks, I made a MEAN sandwich …
