​What’s your least favorite part of trying on bathing suits? For many, it’s not necessarily our weight or the shape of our bodies. When you look carefully, it’s the ugly texture of the skin around your waist​ or cellulite on stomach. ​Honestly... ...you can be almost any weight. ​That’s when I realized… Cellulite will still be the straw that broke the camel’s back in terms of body image. Worst yet, dieting and exercise aren’t a guaranteed...

Deadly Nightshades Atropa Belladonna... ​Over the last two years, I have noticed ​the word “nightshades” is increasingly cropping up in dietary debates. I even read this... ...in an interview with the personal chef to supermodel Gisele Bundchen and football star Tom Brady: ​“[Tom] doesn’t eat nightshades, because they’re not anti-inflammatory. So no tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, or eggplants… I’m very cautious about tomatoes. They cause...
I won’t deny that at the first sign of a cold snap, I pick up the holy trinity of campfire goodness: chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. Naturally, it’s all “for the kids,” but it would be rude not to partake when we are all sitting around the toasty fire, right? If you find yourself making excuses for the melty, crunchy goodness that is a fireside s’more, fret no more. As it turns out, sitting by the fire has been proven to reduce...
How do you feel about bending at the knees? Do you hear anything? Is it stiff? Do you feel the creaking more than you can hear it? Or does it flat-out hurt? Our general health status, daily activities, and diet have a huge impact on how our joints feel. A lot of the time, it’s just the wear and tear of life. You clear age 35 or 40, and wow - suddenly just getting up brings a whole new flood of sensation to the joints. Does it have to be this...
Are you still using coconut oil? You are? Great...Then you must ​read the benefits of applying coconut oil on face overnight.

However, that figure actually reflects a decrease in coconut oil sales. The words “saturated fat” scare off a lot of people. And...
​Recently, one of my friends was asking me questions about weight loss. I was telling her about leptin resistance, which makes weight loss difficult. ​Her first response? She was wondering if there were a supplement she could take that would help. She had undoubtedly seen one on shelves before and immediately made that association. ​In short order... ...I directed her to this piece I did on leptin. Unfortunately, as detailed within, supplements...
Do you get excited over new kitchen gadgets? Personally, I’m all about them. Would you be interested in knowing about the best cheap smoothie blenders? You would? Great! ​Then ​read on for the best guide to budget blenders... One year... ...this high-end blender was at the top of my wish list. It wasn’t the best of the best, mind you, but it was still firmly in the three-figure range. I did a happy dance when I opened it on my birthday that...
​​​Diarrhea!! ​I know what you’re thinking… Nobody likes to talk about diarrhea. ​How about the Best ​Probiotics for ​Diarrhea​? ​​Here’s ​why this is important… ​So stick with me here, because… What good is healthy, nutritious food if you cannot digest it properly? ​Right? ​You’re about to find out...

​What do you think of when I say “potassium”? ​Bananas, right? Well, sure. Bananas are practically synonymous with potassium in our culture, and one of the most popular fruits in general. I know… duh! ​But clearly, they aren’t enough. After all... ...98% of people often don’t eat enough potassium-providing foods!
