In the 2nd part of my 4-part series with Dr. Susan Kleiner, we take a look at how macros have taken over the conversation regarding food. Dr. Sue and I talk about the nuance in that conversation and where it can be perceived as a reductionist view of what we eat. She talks about when […]
Rumor has it that I turned 46 this week. As I haven’t done a list this lengthy in a while, I thought I’d go rapid-fire and give you some ideas to make your life a little bit better, happier or healthier. Feel free to revisit the list routinely as what applies to you now may […]
