A couple weeks back, I had a client of mine send me the link to THIS article titled Embracing Fat for a Healthy Heart Is a Notion Based on Flawed Science. The writer, Dean Ornish, MD, is also one of the docs behind Forks Over Knives, a film that sets out to prove that many of [...]
It'll be no surprise to anyone when I say this... People spend too much damn time with their noses in their phones (while not everyone is guilty of this, I'm speaking of the majority... At least here in the Silicon Valley). I think it's gotten too easy to forget about living and loving actual life [...]
The CrossFit Games are upon us, and this year is going to be extra exciting and anxiety-provoking. We've got good friend, Jason Khalipa, going for gold as an individual, and our NorCal team competing for their spot too.

So, it's that time of year again. It's time to open all the windows, pull out the shorts and tank tops, paint my nails bright colors, and.... switch from hot coffee to COLD BREW! Let's be real, bright teal nail polish just doesn't fly in the dead of winter (even a California winter where nothing [...]
Alright, people. This is a GOOD one. It's so good, that starting my day has a whole new level of excitement to it now. And with that whole new level of excitement comes a whole new level of productivity and even energy in the gym... what is it??? It's my vanilla COCONUTTY PROTEIN COFFEE! One of [...]
