Food is fuel. Nutrition is a lifeline. Eating is survival. The one constant that remains with us in each decade of life is the need to exercise and the necessity to replenish things lost during exercise. Our cells thrive or die based on the choices we make. This is not yet another lecture telling you how
The world of nutrition can be just as overwhelming as choosing your pizza toppings. Keto? Paleo? Carnivore? Mediterranean? Vegan? Vegetarian? Lacto Vegetarian? Ovo Vegetarian? Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian? Pollotarian? Pescatarian? Flexitarian? I am seriously not making this stuff up. There really are such things, but is there truly only one path that leads to success? Trying to pick
“You can’t pour from an empty cup.” “You can only love others as much as you love yourself.” “You are no good to others if you are not good to yourself.” Golden words that have never been truer. Isn’t that how it was always supposed to be? So how did we get this so wrong? Ok.

When you graduate medical school and residency, no one tells you that the ten years spent in academics is not at all what real life would look like. Let me clarify. I am a total geeked out nerd. I love reading. I love spending Saturday nights deep in rumination about things I think I know that
It seems like just when I have the hormonal pathways figured out I am gently reminded of how much I don’t know. To me, that is the beauty of trying to understand a system that continues to elude us. The learning is endless. In my previous blogs, I have discussed the varying components to hormones.
