I have a confession. When we moved from Savannah to Raleigh over two years ago, I went from full-fledged Paleo princess to a Paleo pauper. I was on and off the wagon with sugar being my main, nearly daily indulgence. I would go through periods of perfection and then just slip back into bad habits…
PCOS
Paleo, Primal, & The PCOS Diet – Siblings?
Eight years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS. Wow. I can’t believe it’s been eight years. My doctor, a progressive healthcare provider that believed in the power of diet to bring the body back to homeostasis, placed me on a diet that was quite low in carbohydrates. It worked. My PCOS symptoms disappeared and my…
Fast, Cheap, & Easy Food – the RIGHT Way
This has been circulating all over the place and I loved it at first. I’m a little over it now, but mainly because our Paleo reality is fast, cheap, and easy. Not so much fake, but definitely all of the other three. We be real, yo! But we definitely be cheap too. I loved this…
My Endometriosis and a Clinical Trial
I did a crazy thing tonight. I signed up for a clinical trial for women with endometriosis. I know many people would never subject their bodies to the possibility of test drugs to get a problem solved, but if people didn’t volunteer to do it, how would clinical trials exist? It is going to require…
21 Day Body Transformation – Day 4
So we’ve made it to day 4. I don’t know about you, but I’m kinda sore today. Not sore bad, but sore like my muscles actually got used yesterday. I feel FANTASTIC! Today’s challenges are really neat and #1 is something that I’ve kind of learned to do since becoming a Paleo life-styler. I don’t…
Why Paleo? Why Now?
This is the question that I have asked myself over and over for the past two days. Especially the why now question. Halloween is a week away, we have already gone to a “Trunk or Treat” with the kids, and I have yet to buy candy to hand out on Hallow’s Eve. If you know…
Going Caveman
A wonderful friend of mine, and the same person who introduced me to 3 Day Potty Training, has a friend who follows the Paleo Diet. When she told me about it, I rolled my eyes as far back as I could get them and touted the importance of “moderation”, not extremes in eating. OH, and…
Fighting Fibroids (and other women’s health issues) Futuristically
Women’s issues are extremely important to me. I dealt with extreme, debilitating pain; massively heavy flows where I went through a super-sized tampon in less than an hour, pain during sex, bouts of both constipation & diarrhea, and horrendous bloating from the time I was 15 until I was diagnosed with Endometriosis when I was…
