Just got your program and love it. One day and I feel better already. I’m 56 and work part time on my feet cooking.Should I be exercising too? Also I love your T-shirts you wear in the videos.They look like quality clothes. If not too personal can you tell me the name brand. I look for quality and will pay more for my food and clothes because they give me more value for the price. Thanks so much. Keep learning and keep teaching!PS:should I invest in any other (of your recommended) diet or exercise programs?

I have to disagree with your assessment that there is ‘always something healthy on the menu’ — many restaurants cook everything in vegetable oil, or polyunsaturated fatty acids. Lori Lipinski wrote a nice article on the Weston A. Price Foundation website about eating on the road in restaurants, but I have found that even ordering a salad and asking for oil and vinegar — not all restaurants bring olive oil!

I am personally very sensitive to vegetable oils — they cause a lot of inflammation for me — and because of their propensity to exponentially oxidize, I can’t recommend them to others, either.

So, I think your cooler packing is spot on! Better to be safe than sorry.

Do you not worry about phytic acid in your nuts, though? I see you have a lot of raw nuts (and raw nut butter).

Hey Barbara,
That may be your internet connection. You can check with your service provider to see if there’s something that can be done to speed things up a bit for you.

Hey Leonardo,
I eat them alone, no bread necessary!

Hey Cindy,
I know there are many nutrition professionals that recommend only eating fruit alone and not combining it with any other food. There may be some merit to this strategy for digestion purposes. I personally, have had better success with myself and with clients combining fruit with a protein food so as to not experience a rise in blood sugar. Although fruit is a healthy sugar and a great food, it still causes a rise in blood sugar and thus a rise in insulin levels. Combining fruit with a protein helps to minimize this response. With that being said, remember that your body is your number one indicator of what’s best for you. If you do not feel well eating a fruit after a meal, then that is your body telling you that it is not the right time for you. What you may want to do is save fruit for in between meals (mid morning snack and/or mid afternoon snack) and combine it with some nuts.

Hey Tiffany,
Nourishing traditions is a phenomenal book. Lots of great info there!
I am going to start my baby on avocados as his first food, then homemade pureed vegetables and then egg yolks. I am going to begin at 6 months. I am breast feeding exclusively until then.
All the best Tiffany. Let me know how it goes

Great info! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Off topic, are you going to feed your baby rice cereal as his first food? I recently read a book called Nourishing Traditions, which recommends babies first food to be hard boiled egg yolks rather than rice cereal. My baby is almost 4 months and i think when she is ready i may try the egg yolks. I’m curious what you plan on doing.

Thanks =)

Hi Isabel,

Enjoyed the video. A lot of sensible advice in there. Like everything it’s planning, and being committed to doing the right thing.

I must admit when I travel I tend to use it as an excuse to try different things (usually the unhealthy option) and spoil myself. And it’s far easier to go to the bar and have a wine and mingle, than to go to the gym and exercise or go for a swim.

I’m just going to have to work harder on my commitment.

Thanks for the health tips; they’re great.

Regards,
Robin
