For this week’s #WednesdayWellness live stream, Brett Hoebel and I talked about how to add flavor to your food without adding a lot of fat, calories and sodium. Here is a full list of items that we use on a daily basis. Let me know if you switch to these healthier options and whether they’ve helped you as much …
When I don’t have a snack between meals, I’m not just hungry, I feel faint. Yes, I’ve had a few fainting spells in the past, so I’ve learned to always carry around a snack to stave off hunger and make sure I keep standing tall. Generally, I eat a healthy pescatarian diet, so when it comes to …
Let me be honest…when my veterinarian suggested I give pot to my 10-year-old dog, Shanti, I was a little skeptical. I thought, cannabis for canines? Is that safe?
