Last night I had the privilege of sharing my “10 Rules of Health to Live By” with the Louisville Landsharks, our local multisport club. There was a wonderful turnout and the staff at HopCat did a great job of helping me get set up and keeping everyone’s glass full and the food moving! As I […]

RSS feed for this sectionBest Protein Powder Review
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 […]
I’m a Lion…What Are You?
Do you describe yourself as a “morning person”? Maybe people say that you’re a “night owl”. Do you feel like you have more energy at 10PM or 10AM? Estimates vary, but up to half are either morning or evening people. However, most people are neither evening nor morning types but lie somewhere in between. According […]
Healthy Food Substitutions
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.

Racing Injured – Tri Louisville Triathlon Race Report
You know the type. That person that’s dead-set on doing something no matter what. When it comes to racing, I unfortunately fall into this category. So when I sprain my ankle pretty badly three days before the Tri Louisville race, I knew in the back of my mind that I would still try and do […]
Why I Asked A Dentist To Drill On My Tooth
I’ve always had good teeth. I religiously brush twice a day and floss daily. I’ve done this since I was in middle school (before that, it was on my parents). Unlike other members of my family, my teeth came in straight and I was never the kid with braces or a retainer. I’m thankful for […]
Genetic Testing
Two years ago I did a genetic test through 23andMe. The test consisted of simply spitting in a few tubes and mailing it off. A few weeks later, I was emailed a link to a full report. I did a post on the ancestry-related genetic reports (what countries/regions my ancestors most likely came from) back […]
