“Everything in Moderation:” Why It’s BS
…everyone has some foods that are problematic and some foods they thrive upon. We all need to take the time to figure that out, be honest with ourselves, and listen to our bodies.

Does Dehydration Ruin Your Sleep?
Yeah, it’s kind of another sleep post, but only because I’m really realizing just how important this is and just how much my sleep has, to be very frank, sucked. But this time it’s in reference to another factor that I sort of stumbled upon recently that I had never…
Let’s Kill Calories-In-Calories-Out (Part One)
We’re going to step into the world of the Mudlife Crisis pet peeves today, and almost the primary one that really chaps my hide is this: calories in, calories out. That’s right, today we’re going to take on that very basis of modern “dieting” and just how it’s nearly the…
Make Your Veggies Easier to Eat
Over the past week, I’ve been working with a seven-day program created by Dr. Pedram Shojai, a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and the founder of Well.org, one of my favorite health websites. Dr. Shojai has recently released his book The Urban Monk: Eastern Wisdom and Modern Hacks to Stop Time…

Coffee-Plus: It’s What’s For Breakfast!
Coffee: it makes life worth living, right? Okay, that’s obviously a silly overstatement. But most of the research coming in recently about coffee indicates that it’s a healthy addition to the diet – lots of antioxidants, great for the brain, helps to increase insulin sensitivity, and more. First, let’s get…
How Surrender Can Get You What You Want
Seems ridiculous, doesn’t it? Giving up will get you what you want? It doesn’t make a lick of sense… until you reconsider what Surrender actually can mean. Okay, this post is going to delve into topics that some people may consider a little “woo-woo,” but those people are probably exactly the…
