Seasons bring rituals, whether it’s Football Sundays at a local sports bar, or simply pulling out all the fishing, skiing, or hunting equipment for the first trip of the season. This looks different for everyone, depending on who you are, what you like, and where you live. For some, the tradition might be making soup […]

6 Week Junk Food Bender
August 4, 2013
It’s been a rough couple months. We wrapped up The Get Healthy Summit in June, and as soon as I wasn’t talking about raw foods and natural health 5 times a week, I could feel myself slipping into old ways of thinking. I was still eating green and raw, but a hectic work schedule and […]
The Truth About Organic Foods
May 18, 2013
Want to know the truth about organic foods? I’ve been reading a book called Pandora’s Lunchbox and it’s absolutely frightening what goes into most of our store-bought food… Powders, chemicals, emulsifiers, and other poisons… All to either prevent mold and increase shelf life, or to cut down costs for the food manufacturers. Consider these disgusting […]
Raw Organic Food Recipes
May 9, 2013
So we finally got our Vitamix about a week ago, and man-o-man I’m loving it. In addition to smoothies, this bad boy makes sauces, soups, ice creams… You name it! Here’s a super-simple recipe I made the other day with raw ingredients, straight from the garden: Raw Zucchini Pasta With A Tomato Pepper Basil Sauce […]
Natural Health Weight Loss (kids version)
May 3, 2013
Some of the most common questions I get asked are about how our kids are taking up our new eating habits. Really well, actually! Here’s a meal by meal breakdown: BREAKFAST: Everyone in the house is addicted to fresh green juices and smoothies, so we have those most mornings. That’s typically all they’ll have, but […]
What Is A Raw (Diet) Menu?
April 8, 2013
Eating out and eating healthy at the same time is a challenging proposition. In fact, it’s proving damn near impossible for me to find a menu with healthy, raw choices on it. Take Carrabbas, for instance. We never ate there all that much, but when we did eat out, we liked places like Roy’s and […]
Vegetarian Party (Not As Lame As It Sounds)
March 8, 2013
Sorry I haven’t been around blogging much lately. I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire… I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake… A terrible flood. Locusts! […]
Do It Yourself Organic Garden
February 27, 2013
I’ll admit, I was afraid of gardening… Primarily because I had heard (or formed) the following preconceptions: I won’t know what to plant, or what time of year to plant it. My plants will die and I’ll feel stupid. It’s too hot in Florida. The sun will cook anything I try to grow. My plants […]
Chemicals in food (There is evil shit in what we eat)
February 8, 2013
As I’m learning more about what I shove into my mouth it’s becoming clear that there is some really evil shit “hidden” in the foods we eat. Here’s five horrible chemicals you’re probably eating in your everyday diet right now: Coloring Agents (blue #1, blue #2, yellow #5, yellow #6) You can find this shit […]
Unhealthy Vegetarians (The Fake-Itarian)
January 17, 2013
We’ve been eating vegetarian (for the most part) for about 8 weeks now, and I’ve discovered one thing: It’s easy to be a vegetarian that eats like SHIT. Doritos, for example, are vegetarian. So are Boca burgers, on big awesome sandwich rolls with cheese and catsup and a side of chips. And a soda. Cheese […]
