Every once in a while I’ll voluntarily go and have my blood drawn for no other reason than to just check things out and give myself the piece of mind that everything is ok. While I go to great efforts to be as healthy as possible, all of the strict eating and exercise is no […]

I had a really good response to my post about pre-workout supplements, so I thought it was time to do another review of a review. I’ve been asked at least three times in the last few weeks about what type of protein powder I use. I don’t use it on a daily basis, but 2-3 […]

As I write this post, I am 38 days into 100 days of eating no sugars and no grains. There are been some temptations along the way, but I’ve managed to stay on track so far…each day it gets easier. As I do this Holistic Hundred Challenge, I’ve come across some pretty good alternatives for […]

Pre-Workout Supplement Review

I review lots of products, but sometimes, it’s just not feasible for me to buy from several different manufacturers and try the products myself. So when I come across someone that has done the research for me, I’m always curious as to what the criteria was for the review. I can usually poke lots of […]
