Hidden Dangers of Processed Foods?
I think almost everyone would agree cutting down on processed and ultra-processed food is one of the keys to better health. However, this can be challenging in practice because processed food manufacturers have engineered their products to also be ultra-addictive! The good news is you can retrain your palette to appreciate whole foods again, it just takes some time and patience.
If you've seen some of my videos and presentations before, you may remember that I recommend approaching this process slowly. Cold turkey is one way to do it, but it's difficult and your new healthy food habit doesn't usually stick.
Instead, if you reduce eating ultra-processed food over time, it gives your body and palette a chance to adjust. Plus, your body will start upregulating the processes needed to be able to burn both fat and sugar for energy instead of only relying on sugar.
Even if you don't want to go fully keto, our getting started with keto resource guide gives you some great tools to start reducing sugar and processed foods in your diet.

Quick one today because I just finished something I've been wanting to put together for a while and wanted to share it with you immediately.

It occurred to me one thing kept coming up in conversations with readers: most people have no idea their standard annual blood panel is missing the markers that actually matter for long-term health. Things like Lp(a), the genetic cardiovascular risk marker your...
I just got back from a snowboarding trip in Utah and I'm still thawing out. It wasn't the best snow year out West unfortunately, but we still had a great time. You make the most of it when you're out there! The upside of fewer powder days? I got a ton of work done. Between runs, I was studying for my NASM personal trainer certification and I knocked out a bunch of new content for the site that I'm really excited about. One thing that hasn't changed no matter where I am: I'm still cook every...
Being away from home for a few weeks with less responsibility for keeping up with house projects has allowed me to be super productive!
