Who knew plants were trying to kill us. THAT sounds extreme. And it very much is. But in truth, that's the sort of things we hear about on social media when it comes to "antinutrients".  But like anything nutrition, there are two sides to every story, and there is a ton of room for nuance.  So today, fresh off talking about this on The Morning Show, I'm diving into it in a litt...

Today’s episode is one of my favourite ones to date. Comedian Debra DiGiovanni is quite frankly, an icon.  Her humour, honesty and vulnerability were a few of the MANY reasons I wanted her to come on this show. And while I knew she would make for a wonderful guest, I had no idea that we’d dive into the nitty, gritty and messy fun like we did in this hour.  I hope you get as much out of this conver...

I’ve been doing something I shouldn’t have been doing lately, I’ve been reading the comment section.

So in today’s episode, I’m letting that built-up frustration out and going on a little rant.  No screaming, I promise!!...

If you deal or have dealt with back pain, you know how horrid it can be, and how it can zap all of your resources, and any ounce of "good mood" left in you.  Back Pain is something I struggle with off and on because of a disk issue, but as of late it has been ESPECIALLY brutal.  So in today's episode, I'm breaking down some nutritional and supplemental strategies I use myself t...

Traffic tests us like few other things can. I was tested today and I FULLY failed, and my rage got the better of me. SO why not share it with the world!  The thing is, we all lose our tempers now and again. But if you sit in traffic a lot, or are highly reactive whenever you DO sit in traffic - that can start to take a real toll on the body.  So in today's episode, in addition to sharing what...

Among that list, was Carson Tueller.  He’s someone I’ve followed for years, and whose writing and work has made a significant impact on me, especially on the days where I’m feeling like crap, or unworthy for whatever reason.  So I was SO thrilled when he agreed to come on the show.  He has an incredible story, and...
