Journal
If you’re looking for resources on healthy eating and recipes, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to the Journal - where I share insights, ideas and practical reflections on food, metabolism and health.
Some days, it’s questions: What exactly is Paleo? What’s the difference between low-carb and Whole30? Are statins safe? Do I really need Vitamin C supplements? What role does magnesium play? And how much protein is actually enough? Other days, it’s answers – grounded in science, personal experience and years of coaching real people through real change. Whether you’re trying to reverse high cholesterol, prevent diabetes or just find healthy recipes that don’t feel like a chore, the Journal is here to feed your curiosity – and your plate.
