I had the opportunity to preview the newest edition (3rd ed.) of Integrative Nutrition: Feed Your Hunger for Health and Happiness. This book has been like my nutrition bible since attending IIN five years ago. But I was pleasantly surprised to see a TON of new content, including a sidebar about global superfoods.

So, about this Biggest Loser controversy. Unlike most of the rest of the country, I didn’t watch this week’s finale. While I’ve seen the show many times, I don’t tune in regularly. I have mixed feelings about it. There are plenty of articles out there taking side on the Biggest Loser controversy so I’m also not going to comment on whether… Read More

Confession: Over the holidays I got off track with healthy eating and exercise.Β I didn’t plan it that way. The opposite, really. But it being the holidays and us getting engaged in Paris, it happened. I ate, I drank and I didn’t workout — the worst possible combination.
