August’s High Protein Kitchen just landed, and this one is built for the hottest month of the year. I’m calling it Keep the Oven Off, because every single meal this month comes from the crockpot, a quick stovetop skillet or no cooking at all. No heating up your kitchen when it’s already 90 degrees outside. You have 15 recipes this month and as always every single serving clears at least 30 grams of protein. What’s inside this month
Grab your files at the member page here. How I would use itSkim the week overview first, then start Sunday with the crockpot. The salsa chicken carries lunches all week, and the breakfast burritos freeze for grab-and-go mornings. Everything serves two, so scale up if you are feeding a crowd. As always, hit reply and tell me what you liked, I read every one. Stay cool, High Protein Kitchen is for general wellness and information only. It is not medical or nutrition advice. Check with your own doctor or registered dietitian before making changes to how you eat. |

I've spent 30 years in the health and wellness space, have a training certification, have competed on a physique stage and I've read more study abstracts than I can count. So when the largest evidence review on strength training ever assembled landed earlier this year, I read the whole thing. Like many studies, we didn't REALLY need a study to tell is what we already know. The American College of Sports Medicine released its first major update to resistance training guidelines in 17 years. It...
If you've ever been told that what you're feeling is just stress, or that it's all in your head, this one is for you. And if you love a woman who's been trying to explain a change they can't quite name, this is for you too. Here's the truth: the symptoms so many women struggle through in midlife are not imagined. They're physiological, driven by real and measurable hormonal changes and they're well documented in the research...I should know because I just took a deep dive into it....
In 2023, my husband had open heart surgery. When something like that happens to the person you share your life with, you start looking hard at everything that might tip the odds in your favor. Diet, obviously. Exercise, obviously. We were already very focused on both of those. But my investigation also sent me deep into the research on a habit I'd always filed under "maybe someday or when I have the money": sauna. What I found surprised me enough that we invested in a Sunlighten sauna of our...
