• I have breast cancer!

  ShareYesterday I wrote about supporting my friend who is battling Breast Cancer.  Today is Part Two of the story…Her story… Each time I look down at my plate my stomach turns, maybe it’s the treatment, meds, or the words spoke to me by my Holistic DR.  I was told, Cancer loves SUGAR!  If you want to live to see your kids have a family change your diet NOW! I went home and called Rebecca and cried for her to help [...]

• My friend is a survivor and we use FLAXSEED!

  ShareI have a friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.  Recently she went to a holistic doctor after her treatments were complete.  The holistic doctor put her on a meal plan that was basically (Paleo) and told her to add Flaxseed to her diet. The doc told her it would keep the cancer away.  WOW, what a thing to say to someone recovering, well I had to find out more details. Research has shown evidence it can help reduce [...]

• ADHD, Nutrition, Paleo, My Childs Life

  ShareHave you ever been around a person who just does not fit into the crowd?  How about that person in your office who can’t sit still ?  What about your friend who has his i-pod blasting, working on his computer, fidgeting one leg, you look over and he is talking to himself?  Maybe it’s your own child and everyday you pick them up from school you have pit in your stomach because you know the teacher will tell you how, when, [...]

• A few site changes/Sedona

  ShareHello and Happy Sunday! I hope your enjoying your “Free Time” and spending it wisely… I am writing to you to let you know of a new posting schedule.  Instead of our current 5 day per week “NEW” posting schedule we have collectively decided for the sake of good content to have each Paleo Chix post every other week.  You will see NEW content every other day. For example this week look for new posts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday [...]

• I’m allergic to what!

  Share Have you ever ate something and had an allergic reaction? The first time this ever occurred was Thanksgiving and I was 21, we had a casserole and it had pineapple in it. I was not aware I was allergic to pineapple my entire 21 years of life, we never had it in the house growing up. One small bite sent me into shock, my throat closed and I was rush to the hospital. So that is my extreme allergic reaction. [...]

• I thought I was fit…until I went to Yoga!

  ShareLast week a new “Hot Yoga” place opened up in my hometown. Myself and a few fellow CrossFit Chix decided to go (5pm Tuesday). We said to each other, “Were in shape WE DO CROSSFIT at least 5 days a week! Yoga will be a great stretch, we don’t stretch enough.” OH MY GOSHHHHH! I found out I’m not flexible and that kind of “stretching” HURTS. Fast forward (2am Wednesday) leg pain, shoulder pain, Ahhhhh. So much for bragging to [...]

• I’m FAT and I’m on Paleo!

  Share The day started great, 2 morning classes, and then off to the home of my first personal client of the day. As I pull into her driveway I see her standing at the door with her hands on her hips! My first thought was, she cannot wait to start training! I approach her and she states, ” I’m FAT and I’m on Paleo!” I reply “Good Morning!” “Let’s look at your journal.” Honesty with yourself, is what I demand [...]

• AMA Recommends????

  ShareDid you see the NEW study the Journal of American Medical Association released last Tuesday?  It states, ” Women need 60 minutes of moderate exercise a day to maintain a normal weight over their lifetime.”  Oh and what about the study out last week from the Journal of Psychological Science that said, If you want to be happier, you need to cut out the small talk and have more meaningful conversations (I paraphrased).  We cannot forget the studies that show we need [...]

• Paleo and Pregnant

  Share I have a client who is eating Paleo and Pregnant.  Wow, I think to myself, I wish I would have known, heck I wish my doctor would have encouraged it! My client was eating within the Paleo guidelines prior to her pregnancy.  She purchases her vegetables and fruits at the farmers market and her proteins are purchased from an organic farm.  She calculates financially she spends $100 more each month than she would at her local grocery store. She [...]
