Happy New Year! I know that many of you are doing a Whole 30 right now to kick off the new year right. The question I’m most frequently asked when I work with a new consulting client is: “What will I eat for breakfast?” (Usually said like “BUUUTT, Whaaaaaaaaat will I eat for breeeeaaaaakfast?!?!) As I made my breakfast this morning, I thought it might be a good idea to share how we make perfect “hard boiled” eggs. Since great minds think alike, my friend, Michelle (AKA NomNom), did a post on hard boiled eggs this morning too! I have quotes on the title of this post because to get a perfect result, you don’t boil the eggs at all! The perfect egg is steamed, not boiled. That’s right – you heard it here first! I only know this because my husband went to culinary school (i.e. I am totally spoiled). Here is our “recipe” for perfect hard boiled eggs: Step 1: Start with high quality eggs. percent faxless payday cash loans Payday Loan Direct Lenders 100 Acceptance Step 2: Place the eggs in a steamer basket while you boil a small amount of water in the bottom pot of the steamer. Step 3: Once the water is boiling, place the steamer basket with the eggs on top of the pot of water. Place the lid on top. Step 4: Set timer for 15 min. Step 5: When timer goes off, take steamer basket out, place eggs in a bowl of very cold water. Step 6: Tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell. […]

In keeping with the theme of building community, I wanted to let all of you local DC/MD/VA readers know about a fantastic company right in our area, called Power Supply. for buying cars renovating I was fortunate enough to meet Robert Morton (and business partner Patrick Smith) at AHS12. Through our conversation, I realized they were the geniuses behind the company Power Supply, which provides delicious Paleo meals delivered to over 20 local Crossfit gyms. They describe the company as: “Two guys whose lives were changed by Crossfit/Paleo, a whole bunch of energy for helping others see the same results we did, a total jedi chef and awesome support from the local CrossFit community… that’s the ingredient list for Power Supply.” Their chef, Rachelle Slotnik (a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, Dave’s Alma Matter), prepares healthy gluten, grain, legume, seed oil free meals which are delivered twice a week to local Crossfit gyms for pick up during the gym’s business hours. Non Crossfitters can utilize this meal service, too. This is a great idea for folks who don’t like to/want to/have time to cook every day, as well as families who want to have a few quick, easy, healthy meals in the refrigerator for busy week night dinners. I highly encourage you to check out their website to learn more about how this works. With back to school chaos right around the corner, I know that our household will benefit from having prepared, fresh, healthy meals on hand that Dave doesn’t have to cook and I don’t have to clean up!

* This is just a quick post to let everyone know about the awesome event that happened last night! As everyone knows, Dave and I were fortunate enough to present a poster at AHS12. While we were at AHS, we met many amazing people and developed friendships that cut past all of the superficial stuff that usually fills up the first encounters with new friends. Out of our conversations about what was important in life and how to share the message of ancestral health on a more global scale, an idea was born. We decided to have a Tweetchat using the hashtag #1tribe, to signify that we are all one tribe (not we are #1, but we are all one). I co-moderated the event with Alec Henderson, who graciously put together a summary post and transcript here If you have an interest in building a community of like-minded folks who have a passion for reaching others and living a healthier, happier life, please read the post, and join us for the next #1tribe chat on Thursday, September 20th at 8pm EST. Everyone is welcome, everyone has a place in the tribe. *Photo source unknown

#AHS12 We just got back from The Ancestral Health Symposium (AHS12). For any readers who are unfamiliar with AHS, it is a three day conference which brings together scientists, healthcare providers, and lay people who share an interest in living healthier lives, based on Ancestral principals such as whole foods, movement, stress management, community, and sleep. The symposium was held on the campus of Harvard Law School. In the fall of 2011 I submitted a proposal to present a poster at AHS12. I felt that we had some important information to share with the community regarding the use of Ancestral nutrition as an adjunct to treatment for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). As many of you know, this is an issue that hits close to home for us, as Dave (my husband) was diagnosed with T1D when he was 32 years old. We have learned so much in the past 6 years, and want to help other T1D’s navigate this journey. We were ecstatic when our proposal was accepted, and began collecting and sifting through the data. All of our hard work was worth it when we saw the finished product presenting the Effects of Ancestral Nutrition of Type 1 Diabetes. First, I have to say that the whole experience of AHS12 was so overwhelming and exciting that I could barely think straight! The response to our poster was really positive, and we got to talk with a number of people and answer their questions. We were also visited by some of our favorite people in the community. We met many of our online friends for the first time, and were able to spend more time with people we had met before.
