The focus of this article will be on Type 2 Diabetes, as Type 1 Diabetes is literally something that people are born with, although the medical people have stretched that usage to include people who give themselves Type 2 Diabetes at a fairly young age because Type 1 used to be called ‘Childhood Onset’ or ‘Infant Onset’ Diabetes. You were literally born with it and the idea that if you are a young person you don’t get Type 2 Diabetes is still hanging on, but it’s not really true. We are sicker than we have ever been in the history of humans. Continue reading

That was one Tough Mudder!
It isn't every day that one gets the chance to jump into a pool of ice water, swim underwater to the far end, break through the ice, and then laugh at yourself as your muscles completely fail you in your efforts to simply climb out of the freezing wet, unable to feel your legs. Nor do we often have the opportunity to crawl under a real army tank through thick, wet mud, carry someone your own weight up a long hill, climb high walls, steep ramps, and other forbidding obstacles, run through cages fitted with thousands of live electric wires, and attempt to conquer a dozen or so other fitness challenges, all during the course of an otherwise normal but very hilly, twelve-mile run. Tough Mudder is truly an assault course, designed to challenge and entertain reasonably fit individuals, with a variety of creative stations. I didn't master all of them, but I did complete the course.
The first few events were relatively tame … Continue reading

The Challenges of Going on a Raw Food Diet
Only a few people have consistently maintained a completely raw diet over a period of years that lasted into decades. For many folks, the raw food diet is an experiment that fails rapidly. Initial weight loss results are deemed positive, when a person has weight to lose, but for those who are already thin, this first response of rapid weight loss and subsequent fatigue tends to be received in a negative light. Of course, everyone blames the diet, ignoring the details of how they actually applied it. The old adage “practice makes perfect” is applicable, but it should be amended to say, “perfect practice makes perfect,” for those who fail early tend to give up rather than persist and pull through.
Calories Per Bite
A crucial steppingstone for success in a healthy raw diet is understanding the concept of… Continue reading
Everything About Nothing
Interested in nutrition? Sure, that's a huge part of why we made dietary changes. Concerned about nutrition? Yes, that's why we are committed to improving our regimen. Would the words, "worried about nutrition" (in a healthy way, of course) describe us? Definitely, we are worried about nutrition, or so I am told, and that is where we become vulnerable. Continue reading
