Water: How Do You Know When Enough Is Enough?
Posted on 12 January 2012 | 2 responses
When I write articles on this blog it usually comes as a response to something the my patients are asking about or experiencing. This one is inspired by a comment on a recent post where I made a recommendation about how much water a person should be drinking. Here is the comment:

You don’t have to do a single crunch or sit up to be considered healthy. Crunches may actually be hurting some of you more than they help. Wipe away those tears [...] Continue Reading…

The Tastiest Healthy Cookie You’ll Ever Eat
Posted on 14 December 2011 | 1 response
Recently I was pining for a treat where guilt would not be the main ingredient. I started searching for a really good, healthy cookie recipe if such a thing existed. I feel like I struck gold with this one. It is loaded with whole grains, healthy fats, and proteins without the sugar and saturated fat. The great thing about this recipe is the taste. The second best thing is the versitility. I’ll list the recipe and then give you some ideas for substitutions that might be able to tweak [...] Continue Reading…
