I had two patients in a row the other day that had essentially the same question. I take this as a sign that I need to do an article on that subject. Both patients had tried to do a keto diet in the past and had gotten good results, but had been unable to keep […]
One of the challenges of living a Keto–Paleo lifestyle is finding anything resembling familiar foods. It would be ideal when engaging a major shift like this to be able to wipe your memory of all your past experiences in the area of change so you could start fresh. But that is not available to us […]
As most of you know, I live a paleo-keto lifestyle most of the time, and have for over twenty years. Right now I am playing with a variation that involves cyclic green fasting – 3 to 4 days of eating just greens followed by 3 to 4 days of high protein and a touch of carbs […]
So the new year is still fresh and you still plan to live 2019 as healthy as possible. Right off the bat you have chosen a serious challenge. The single biggest thing that impacts your health is what you put into your mouth and allow into your lungs. It seems super obvious that the first step […]

It was excellent on many levels. I highly recommend […]

A new year is beginning and since it is a new beginning it is a great time to start a new health goal. New Year’s is a traditional time for creating new goals. Everybody likes to start a new diet to take off all that extra weight put on by holiday eating. Unfortunately the reality […]
