I posted recently about how the Standard American Diet really is pretty SAD. And how our fear of fat has lead us down a path of tasteless, crappy food touted as “lite”, “diet”, and “healthy” but are really just processed gut bombs loaded with refined sugars, highly processed oils, genetically modified foods, and synthetic ingredients created in a lab, not →
Gluten-free seems to be all the rage lately and it can be hard for people to figure out if it’s just a fad or if there really are associated health benefits.

I was stuck in an “I’m recovering from an injury” rut for a really long time and didn’t even realize it. I was letting my pain issues rule my life, despite believing I was doing everything in my power to not do that. (I know better! Or so I thought.). But I was still telling myself that I was injured, →
