Featured Food: Pork
You tell people to eat pork? Yes in my orientation class I tell clients that pork is a fine protein to consume, and yes even bacon. Today, however, we need to clarify and clear pork’s name (it, especially bacon) has a bad reputation, which is sad because it is so yummy (it seems as if you can put bacon in any recipe and up the deliciousness meter). Let’s talk ab bout the pig first. Pigs are omnivores (like us), therefore they consume more than grass, therefore they are not classified as grass-fed but compassion raised is a commonly seen term. I’d had reservations about recommending pork because Dr. Sharifi had said the Weston Price wasn’t sold on pork. Upon looking into it further, I found that the problems occurred when looking at preservation. Pork is a traditional food, having been eaten traditionally by Asian and European societies. The difference is how the cured it. Asian societies typically marinated in an acidic base. For instance in India they marinated it in yogurt to make Tandoori Pork. Continue reading

STRESS
This week I feel like expressing myself through pictures, so here is one that I love about one of my favorite topics: Stress
Squat Form
Squats are one of our favorite movements, a full range of motion and definitely tapping into our paleolithic ancestors. I found this cute picture on doing it right!
Coconut Oil Uses
Slathering coconut oil on my, putting my young coconut in last week’s recipe post and my general obsession, made me feel that today’s post should feature the tropical gem. Check past posts for the benefits of coconut, because this post is dedicated to some of the ways to use coconut:
- o After Shave – coconut oil will help heal your skin after shaving without clogging pores. Great for razor burn!
- o Baldness – apply three times a day to affected area of hair loss. Coconut oil supports cell regeneration.
- o Birth Marks – can be used after a laser removal treatment to aid in healing. Can also be applied after an apple cider vinegar treatment to help support and aid the fading process.
- o Bruises – applied directly to the bruise, coconut oil enhances the healing process by reducing swelling and redness.
- o Bug Bites – when applied directly to a bug bite, coconut oil can stop the itching and burning sensation as well as hasten the healing process. Continue reading

Stat Day: We’re Fat Day
I was doing some research for my own self-imposed project and I came across some startling statistics that I would like to share. We should start out the week with a rude awakening (sorry for potentially ruining your Memorial Day Cook/Eat Outs). Our business seems such a struggle sometimes, but I see all the media about obesity rates and then I look at all these statistics and I don’t get it. Do we really not want to change? Or do we really just wait with baited breath for doctors/scientist to find a magic pill or a magic cure? Why not do something ourselves? Are we really that lazy? There is so much about obesity and I’ve seen a lot about sugar lately too, so we can not blame it on ignorance or not knowing? Why, then? Because this is an addiction that many don’t want to claim they have? Because sugar is an addiction (grains, starches break down into sugars so don’t think because you’re not chowing down on a Snickers that you get off scotch free), and it’s got a tight grip on us. Because we all have memes and excuses for not being healthy. Because we don’t want to or are unwilling to change our thoughts or our ways. Well that stubbornness and resistance is killing us. Here is why:
- Shall we begin with the Kiddies? Alright, 1 in 3 kids (age 3-19) are overweight or obese). 1 in 6 are obese. Overweight Continue reading

Recipe Round-Up
Because I’ve been slacking on my posting duties and because it is a holiday weekend and because this weekend looks to be a scorcher, I thought I’d be nice and post a wrap-up of the recipes that I have tried this week. Many are treats (one an ice cream sandwich so make sure to check this out for a refreshing treat this summer), but we’ll start out with the recipe of the week: cauliflower brownies. Yes you read correctly, cauliflower brownies. I know many may squirm at the idea, but cauliflower is one of my go-to foods so I was confidant that it wouldn’t fail me in the dessert world (very moist results).
- 1 cup cauliflower puree
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk Continue reading

Featured Food: Yogurt
Sorry for the slacking in actually content rich posts lately, I’ve had other pertinent projects to attend too. I had intended to do this food last week to go along with my raw dairy awareness pieces, but better late than never. I get lots of questions about yogurt, so this makes it a perfect choice as well. Let’s review the benefits of raw dairy:
- Protein: milk contains all 8 essential amino acids, 80% being caseins (which are heat stable and easy to digest). Lactoferrin is a iron-binding protein that can help with the assimilation and absorption, giving it anticancer and antimicrobial effects. Continue reading

Double Juggle
My awesome performing double juggles at last Saturday’s Boot Camp because we didn’t have a heavy enough kettlebell for him to do just one bell!

Get Outside
I’ve been slacking with post lately, but maybe today’s theme has been calling to me and the lure of sitting at a desk writing while the sun taunts me outside, has made me resistant to post (I’m boycotting). I think that today’s post is pretty much common sense and I don’t know why scientist feel it is necessary to waste time and money to conclude that being outdoors is beneficial, but I have yielded and will give some of their stellar conclusion at the end. We’ve covered it extensively in the past with slow aerobic movements and forest bathing (where just 5 minutes outdoors is all it takes to boost mood, imagine if you spent hours?). Saturday we had our first Boot Camp of the year outdoors, it was amazing. This building was designed and built for us, and while it serves it’s purpose and I love it, I can’t help but feel a little trapped here sometimes, especially with so many hours a week spent here. Saturday, being outside is like being set free. I am a kid again, I view the park, a hill, and grass as the ideal playground for kettlebells. I do play is a missing piece of our daily routines, and even in my spiritual training I aspire to be more child-like and closer to my true-self. Dropping kettlebells in the grass is perfect, they don’t roll but just die in the grass. Therefore imagination and creativity can be unleashed. Why aren’t you doing Continue reading
