What Are Omega 3’s? Omega 3’s are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Polyunsaturated means the carbon chain of these fats have two or more double bonds. Omega 3’s are so named because the first double bond is always 3 carbons away from the end of the fatty acid chain. Omega 3 fatty acids, [...]
Omega 3’s have all but disappeared from our food supply for a number of different reasons, and all of them are tied to the industrialization of our food supply.
A lot of people freak out when we tell them to include more fat in their diet. It is so contrary to the accepted low-fat/no-fat dogma that people’s eyes widen like a deer caught in the headlights. Intelligible speech is inhibited and pupils dilate as pulses quicken… “But I’m so terrified of blowing up.” “I’ve [...]

It never ceases to amaze me that the common belief still exists in our culture that women should not lift heavy things. For some reason, men and women are treated like two totally different species when it comes to exercise. Of course we do have our differences (anyone who’s been in a relationship will assure you of that!), but our requirements for health as a species remain one and the same.  Men and women do have different physical capacities and abilities, but we are all homo sapiens with the same essential necessities. I see magazines that tout the stick figure bodies of starving women or fitness magazines that tell you to spend hours on the treadmill with ankle weights on- but I never see anything out there that tells women that it’s HEALTHY and NORMAL to be strong. In my opinion, that’s insulting to women and just plain wrong.
I’ve been looking for a video like this for a while now. We are literally born to run, and anyone who tells you otherwise has just had the innate human animal drummed out of them by the modern world.
