Page Contents: Some of the best parts of our modern lives revolve around technology—but, of course, there is a limit to what it can (and should) do for us. When it becomes a crutch or an obsession, tech becomes a problem. If you’re unhappy with your relationship with technology, a digital detox may be in order. I’m a major proponent of ancestral health: adopting a diet and lifestyle close to those of our ancestors, aligned with our biology and genetics. However, I’m not suggesting we shun all aspects of modern life, and I’m certainly not advocating for a technology-free lifestyle.

Page Contents: While simply eliminating gluten can be helpful for people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), and potentially lifesaving for those with celiac disease, gluten-free diets are not all created equal.

Page Contents: As COVID-19 continues to disrupt our lives, many are worried (with good reason) about the impact its spread will have on our already overwhelmed healthcare system. This is definitely a deep and widespread crisis that’s much more challenging than anything we’ve faced before. However, I believe that we have an opportunity to rise to this challenge, adapt to the changes it requires of us, and use it as an opportunity to improve upon the status quo. That includes changing mainstream healthcare to embrace a preventive approach. Health coaches can play an important role in changing the course of healthcare. They are uniquely qualified to support clients as they adopt treatment plans and protocols from practitioners, nutritionists, personal trainers, and other allied health providers. Their...
