2018 Holiday Gift Guide

.fusion-fullwidth-1 { padding-left: px !important; padding-right: px !important; } We know the holidays are about far, far more than giving and receiving material things. Time with loved ones, healthy, delicious food, and disconnecting from work and technology—these are the “things” that really matter. But that doesn’t mean that giving or receiving the perfect well-considered gift can’t be a source of profound delight, which is why we’ve put together this holiday…

Is Sugar Addiction Real? 5 Steps to Achieving Peace with Sugar

With the average American eating 19 teaspoons of sugar daily, and studies finding its intense sweetness eight times more addictive than cocaine, unprecedented numbers of people now identify as “sugar addicts.” “Losing control” upon consuming some sugar can certainly sound like addiction, but is sugar addiction really real? The Physiological Pull Many studies clearly show that sugar does light up the brain’s pleasure and reward centers, but does this mean…

What Do You Smell Like? It Depends on Your Microbiome . . .

Human body-odor formation is greatly affected by the structure and activity of human-associated microbial communities. In other words, the trillions of microorganisms that colonize your body heavily influence your body’s smell. You have a unique body odor partly because of your unique microbiome, which is shaped by environmental forces as well as by your genetics. Your body odor reveals a lot about your health. If you eat a species-appropriate, Paleolithic-type…

Cheers to Paleo(ish) Drinks and Cocktails!

Let’s be honest—are you 100 percent Paleo, all the time? Or are you mostly Paleo, with a few concessions every now and then, for those guilty pleasures you just cannot do without? If you’re resilient enough to stick to your vision of a fully Paleo diet, 24/7, more power to you—but I think many of us occasionally indulge in “treats” our ancestors would not have recognized (like airplane food, or…

Five Things Vegans and Paleo Dieters Have in Common

Vegans and Paleo dieters are sometimes regarded as two distinct human communities, with diametrically opposed ideologies. Some may even suggest that these two health-conscious groups have declared war on each other: a war waged not with guns, toxic chemicals, or armed fighter planes, but rather with computers and film cameras. The opposing camps both produce documentaries, articles, scientific papers, and infographics in which they promote their respective nutrition- and health-focused…

Beyond Your Food: Pasture-Raised, Regenerative Leather

The concerns of many vegans and vegetarians go beyond what’s on their plate to the care and welfare of animals they don’t even eat. They choose not to wear fur or have sheepskin rugs in their homes, for example, and they tend to take these values into account when considering personal care products. Why not us omnivores? We often talk proudly about buying our meat at a farmer’s market, or…

Are Protein Requirements Significantly Underestimated?

“How much protein do I actually need?” If you ask a typical dietitian this question, they’ll likely answer 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day (this being the RDA, or Recommended Dietary Allowance). The reasoning is that this amount is sufficient in providing your body with the building blocks it needs to function properly. Professionals may then go on to say that as long as you eat…

Why Eggs Hurt Your Belly

Unfortunately, the “signature” Paleo breakfast of eggs and bacon is not for everyone.

Originally you blamed it on last night’s cocktail, insufficient water intake that day, or a random case of indigestion; over time, however, you’ve begun to notice that…
