Hi everyone, I apologize for the little break I took from posting anything the last couple of months.  Nate’s Raw Harvest and school took a toll on my schedule and focus, but I am back and ready to share what I can. Today, I’d like to switch gears away from nutrition and exercise in their role to promoting good health and talk about something we often don’t think about and perhaps even take for granted.  I’m talking about love and our families.  As humans, we often focus on the fact that we are physical beings and achieving our goals though...

My past articles have focused on broad generalities and recommendations on how to achieve vibrant health through quality foods, exercise, and testing yourself.  I want to start getting more specific about foods and exercises and I can think of nothing better than to address the one thing that has been more misunderstood and inappropriately demonized than any other thing in the health and fitness industry: saturated fats! Many people know very little about saturated fats except that we are told to avoid them and that they cause heart disease.  Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth.  Did you know...

In today’s post I’d like to further reinforce the need for quality foods by talking about live, raw, and organic foods.  Today’s longer working hours, especially in America, have left less time available to cook quality meals than ever before.  Because of this many people are running to the doors of fast-food restaurants and vending machines during the work week. Unfortunately, the majority of the food that is served at such venues is some of the most processed foods out there.   Now don’t get me wrong,  I’ve had the occasional burger and fries and thoroughly enjoyed it, but when this...

This will be the final post to expand upon what I mentioned in my Philosophy on Fitness.  In past articles I have mentioned the use of  “testing” oneself using a biofeedback technique in order to establish whether or not your body gets BETTER from something or WORSE from something.  I will elaborate more on that here. The fact that your body can tell you whether or not something will make it better or worse and that we can test for it is usually a completely unheard of idea to most people and even borders on “crazy”.  In fact, the simplicity...

I’ve been a little out of pocket with Nate’s Raw Harvest but finally have some time to continue expanding on nutrition and my Philosophy of Health and Fitness.  Today I’d like to talk about Metabolic Typing.  As I mentioned in my previous article the two main points to success when it comes to eating is Food Quality and knowing your metabolic type.  Metabolic Typing is a simple process of finding the basics of what kinds of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates work best for YOUR metabolism and in what ratios.  It’s not a fool-proof system, but it’s a highly accurate start...
