I hadn’t intended to write another music-related post so soon after my article about Kendrick Lamar but something of interest happened last week and it got me thinking about it on a broader scale. If you’re here to read something about health, I promise to make a tie in at the end so I hope […]
I spend a great deal of time talking about nutrition, training, fat loss and mental health on this page. One of the things you may read about as you find the areas that overlap in all of those topics is how you manage your self care. Many years ago, I had basically two outlets for […]
It might sound funny to you but a lot of the clients I work with don’t have an information problem when it comes to fat loss. They’re well educated, well read, they’ve likely already been successful more than once losing fat but the weight keeps coming back and now they’re stuck. So, the common refrain […]
I’m far more concerned about 3-4 days of a recent food journal (1-2 normal days and 1-2 abnormal days) than I am about the calories you think you need to be hitting to achieve fat loss. Rather than driving yourself crazy trying to weigh and measure every solitary thing in your diet, look at what […]
If you know me, you know how much I love music. You probably also know that I can be unfairly and unreasonably opinionated about music as well. I remember sometime in the 80s, when I could go to the store and buy cassettes on my own, and start to build my own little collection of […]

So, here’s the scoop on what Sebastian’s life has been like since his last birthday… He had a complete blast during kindergarten and made friends he […]
My friend and fellow coach, Shane McLean, is shutting down his garage gym as he and his family prepare to move to a different state. He recently made a post about it and I sent him a message giving some love and support his way. If you don’t know Shane, let me share just a […]
Many years ago, I saw a couple that I knew go through a particularly rough period. At the time, my understanding of their circumstances was from the perspective of only one of those two people. As a result, my opinion on the circumstances, how each person handled it and the way it affected them afterwards […]
I recently completed a course covering Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and the low FODMAP approach to working with IBS through Monash University. The course, designed for dietitians, was a wealth of information. Having recently acquired my Level 5 diploma in advanced nutrition through Mac-Nutrition University, I was granted access to the Monash course. One point […]
