Tomorrow is the last day of the detox month for the Ultimate Nutrition Challenge, and then we begin the real food month! I’m very excited for it. But first, a recap on the detox. January: Detox The detox went really well the first couple weeks. Then after that my heart just wasn’t in it and [...]
The answer to the above question is YES. Yes, you can exercise on a detox. It just depends on the type of detox that you’re doing as to what type of exercise is the best choice for you. Some people say that when you do a detox, you should stop exercising. But I don’t believe [...]
Today marks the second day of my month-long detox. Fun stuff! Over the past month or so, while I’ve been travelling around New York and finishing up at an old job and beginning a new job and indulging in holiday pleasures, I’ve been thinking about what I want to achieve over the next year. Ultimately [...]
Hello friends! I am home from NYC and back at last to the blogging world. I fully intended to blog all last week, but Mr. Science and I arrived home from New York late on Sunday night (the 18th), and then I was awake at 7am to begin my first day at my new job [...]
Home from hiking! We did 53 km over the course of four days – it was challenging but absolutely fantastic. I’ll share more details about the hike later this week!

Not only am I planning on going high-raw and mostly-vegan for the next six months, but I’m also planning on going as gluten-free and organic as I can. I’d like to go local, but bananas, tofu and greens powder [...]
I’ve been thinking about raw food again. The weather’s been warmer, and in February I stopped keeping my pantry totally stocked. Instead I’ve just been buying fruits and vegetables on a regular basis (and other staples, when I run out – oatmeal, canned beans, etc). My fridge has been emptier. I stopped buying bread again. [...]
I used to wear my pedometer on a daily basis. I loved it. We had such memorable times together. Then we decided to take a break. It’s not you, it’s me! I felt it was necessary to explore other avenues of exercise besides walking. After enough time had passed, I was ready to get back [...]
Thank you for all of your good wishes for the conference this past weekend! It went beautifully. Nearly 40 people showed up to our session on reading food labels, so that was fantastic.
