Hey gang!!

Sorry I’ve been a little MIA lately. Been working hard getting “Hot at Home” ready to go.

Everything’s ready, EXCEPT I’m having a technical issue with the website.

Sigh … there’s always SOMETHING, right?

Any day now. Any day. I swear.

As soon as that technical glitch is fixed, it’s GO TIME and I’m releasing it! Enough waiting around!

But, I digress….

I was reading a newspaper the other day and saw an ad for a supplement that kinda frustrated me.

I mean how misleading are these guys ALLOWED to BE before someone calls them out on it?

Check it out:

So, make sure you read the small print. ALWAYS READ THE SMALL PRINT!!!

Oh, and if you’re interested in getting onto the “Hot at Home” Early Birds’ List, the gates are closing on that one in a few days, so better hop to it.

I’m releasing it (shhhh, oh so quietly) to my Early Birds and Inner Sanctum Members FIRST at a special “action takers” deal.

If you’re not on the list, you won’t even know it’s happening.

‘Nuff said.

Go here: Hot at Home Early Birds List …

…there’s a box at the bottom of that post for you to shoot me your deets.

My birthday is at the end of the month and I want to do this BEFORE THEN (technical issues be damned).

So HUSTLE. Time’s running out.

Get on the Hot at Home Early Birds List here

Have a fit, fun and fantastic day.

Hey gang! Sorry I haven’t been around the past while.

Truth be told, putting together this book of mine is pretty much consuming the majority of my time.

It’ll be worth it, I promise. I just want to make sure it’s AWESOME for you.

AND, I wanted to share with you what I’m about to share with you and it took me kind of a long time to edit it together for you.

Forgive me?

Thanks! I knew you would.

Anyway, on to business… Last week I attended an extremely informative Nutrition Lecture, hosted by one of our great local fitness organizations: InfoFit Educators, and delivered by Dr. Cory Holly of The Cory Holly Institute.

It’s actually the next installment of a previous lecture that Cory honoured us with a few months ago. If you haven’t seen the first installment yet, feel free to check it out here: Nutritional Lies of the 21st Century

Cory once again, does not disappoint us and provides an immense amount of valuable information that we can take forward into our own futures to help keep us healthy, happy and disease-free.

HEY! Good nutrition REALLY IS the foundation of a healthy, active, long life (and looking good to boot).

If you don’t believe ME, then you really need to have a listen to what Cory has to say:

Here’s just a bit more information for you, in the form of little questionnaire (plus the answers) that Cory provided at the lecture and has given me permission to share with you.

These are things YOU really NEED to know, if you’re serious about getting your nutrition right, and living a long, healthy and active life:

And by the way, this isn’t the first time you’ve heard me ramble on about this kind of stuff, is it?

NO !!

This is how I live my life and view my own nutrition.

Do you remember where I told you I first learned it all? Yup. If you’ve been coming here for ANY length of time AT ALL, you’ll know Mike Geary is the guy that first introduced me to this BETTER and HEALTHIER way of thinking about and relating to food.

He and Catherine Ebeling have put together one of the BEST nutrition books I’ve ever read.

You want the WHOLE TRUTH? Well, this is IT, people!

If you don’t live in an area where one of Cory’s lectures or courses is being held but you still want the REAL TRUTH ABOUT NUTRITION, then the best place online to get it is Mike and Catherine’s Fat Burning Kitchen <--- so get it now right here.

Get your nutrition right, and enjoy a longer, more enjoyable life. It’s practically a guarantee.

Have a fit, fun and fantastic day.

A couple of weeks ago I attended a rather riveting Nutrition Lecture, hosted by one of our local great fitness organizations: InfoFit Educators (owned by Andre Noel Potvin), and delivered by Dr. Cory Holly of The Cory Holly Institute.

I thought I’d share some of it with you, since the generous gang at InfoFit have given me permission to do so.

You will hear me mention, this is all stuff that I already believe in and live by.

Good nutrition is the foundation of a healthy, long life (and looking good to boot).

Have a listen to what Cory has to say then check out the highlights below the video to learn more of this important stuff.

Here’s some of the highlights of Cory’s Lecture and things YOU really NEED to know, if you’re serious about getting your nutrition right, and living a long, healthy and active life:

Commercial Cow’s Milk

The Lies (what the food industries want you to believe):

• Good for health
• Builds strong bones
• Good for Athletes
• Good source of calcium
• Good for children
• Good for insomnia

The Truths (what the food industries don’t want you to know):

• Milk is much safer when consumed in a raw, unpasteurized form
• Raw milk is better for cows, people and the environment
• Raw milk provides the body with powerful immunological factors, enzymes and anti-microbial components
• Raw milk should be in consumed whole to retain all the natural fat-soluble vitamins (not skim or part-skim)
• Raw milk should come from pasture raised grass fed healthy cows, not feed lot cattle raised on CAFO’s (concentrated animal feeding operations – mainly corn)
• Commercial milk increases risk of diabetes
• Commercial milk acidifies the blood and actually causes a net loss of calcium
• Commercial milk causes allergies and increases bodyfat
• Lactose intolerance is widespread (not an issue with raw milk)
• After being weaned not required biologically
• Commercial milk decrease insulin sensitivity and ruins blood sugar health
• Homogenized milk associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis
• Pasteurization destroys enzymes, diminishes vitamin content, denatures fragile milk proteins, destroys vitamins C, B12 and B6, kills beneficial bacteria, promotes pathogens and is associated with allergies, increased tooth decay, colic in infants, growth problems in children, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease and cancer.
• Calves fed pasteurized milk do poorly and many die before maturity

Infant Formula

The Lies:

• Better than breast milk
• More convenient
• Freedom feeding (anyone can feed the baby anytime)

The Truths:

• Formula causes malnourishment and anemia
• Formula contains toxic levels of iron
• Formula causes allergies (soy) and increases risk of respiratory infection in infants
• Soy contain lectins known to suppress thyroid function and cause agglutination (clumping) of red blood cells
• Soybean contains large quantities of natural toxins or “antinutrients”. First among them are potent enzyme inhibitors that block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed for protein digestion.
• Formula is dead and lacks many essential immune factors present in breast milk
• Possible connection to SIDS
• Formula contains sucrose, salt and modified fats
• Formula contain chemical stabilizers known to be carcinogenic

Refined Sugar (sucrose, fructose)

The Lies:

• Natural
• Tastes good
• Source of pure energy
• Ties in with a high carb diet

The Truths:

• If submitted today for FDA approval refined sugar could never pass cellular toxicology screening tests (both are cytotoxic and clastogenic)
• Elevates risk for all-cause mortality
• Leaches elements and trace minerals from the skeleton
• Causes type II diabetes
• Causes obesity and cancer
• Associated with auto-immune disease
• Associated with depression and mental illness
• Connection to drug addiction due to destruction of blood sugar and insulin stability
• Connection to increased incidence of colds, flu’s and infections
• Concentrated sources of sugar mixed with fat and sodium associated with junk food addiction, food cravings and mental health impairment
• Fructose known to increase build-up of uric acid, elevate triglycerides and cause insulin to become less sensitive, operative and functional

Commercial Breakfast Cereals

The Lies:

• Breakfast of champions
• High carb diet is best
• Refined polished grains with synthetic toxic vitamins added are healthy
• Morning cereal with milk and sugar tastes good and is quick and easy

The Truths:

• High grain diets help make most people fat (excess glucose and its effect influence on insulin)
• Grains (wheat, rye, and barley) contain gluten
• Refined grains cause malnourishment (no bran or germ) and constipation
• High glycemic load (diabetes and obesity)
• Significant cause of digestive problems and allergies
• Wheat and corn considered toxic to humans (chronic inflammation)
• Grains contain phytates that inhibit absorption of zinc, iron and calcium
• Cereal grains acidify the blood and body and increase the excretion of calcium

Vitamins (Dietary Supplements)

The Lies:

• Only useful to prevent or treat classic vitamin deficiency diseases such as scurvy, beri beri, pellagra, pernicious anemia, kwashiorkor, xerophthalmia, goiter
• Excess amounts are toxic, especially fat-soluble A & D
• RDA provides more than adequate amount for average people

The Truths:

• Orthomolecular medicine discovers that niacin taken is extremely large doses, along with C, zinc, B6 and EFAs can successfully treat schizophrenia and manic depression
• Dr. Pauling & Dr. Rath discover connection between collagen erosion and heart disease (due to consuming inadequate amounts of vitamin C)
• Virtually all mammals produce vitamin C and increase production under stress
• Under stress humans produce toxic metabolites from adrenaline (adrenochrome) in the absence of sufficient vitamin C
• Vitamin supplements compensate for decrease in organ reserve associated with aging
• Vitamin supplements compensate for decrease in endogenous (internal) production of nutrients (i.e creatine or glucosamine) associated with aging
• Vitamin D discovered to be far too low in diet (it never was toxic) recent DRI previously touted as toxic
• B12, folic acid and B6 discovered to prevent heart disease (homocysteine)
• Principle of Biochemical individuality proves no such thing as “average” person
• New minerals added to essential list
• Amino acids, vitamins, flavonoids and carotenoids known to influence gene expression
• Vitamin therapy for sports injuries and performance

Someone told me today that they admired my “willpower” when it comes to my diet. It got me thinking… is it willpower? or is it fear? Well, the answer is: its fear. I explain! Check it out!

To check out Mike Geary’s research about nutrition, check out his book “Truth About Abs” Click Here!

Hey Everyone.  Today we’re taking a break from the workout moves to talk about nutrition a little bit.  Specifically, pasteurized dairy products… and even more specifically, pasteurized cheese.  There IS a healthier option out there than pasteurized cheese products.  Did you guys know that pasteurizing milk is basically cooking it?  Guess what?  It happens to kill a lot of the healthy enzymes & nutrients found naturally in milk.  A great alternate option to eating the regular mass-produced cheese is “raw milk cheese”.   This cheese is made from unpasteurized milk and still has all the natural nutrients and enzymes in place.   Far more nutritious, in my opinion.  I talk about it more here, and show you a brand I buy often.

I found this awesome nutritional information in Mike Geary’s book “Truth About Six Pack Abs”. To get your copy, GO HERE TO CHECK OUT TRUTH ABOUT ABS!!

Today is a lifting day. I still have DOMS in some areas. How weird.

Anyway, I did Day 3 of my latest program today, which is FullBody Compound Moves in a SuperCircuit done, as usual, at home. mm mm!! Delicious!

I also talk about one of my favourite moves and where I got this particular move from!! Plus, I repeat for anyone who’s missed it, what my favourite post-workout meal is!

So, check out the link in the sidebar for Mike Geary’s book. Really, it rocks. I wouldn’t lie to ya! :-)

Have a great day and see ya soon!

Hey you guys!!  I’ve been HONOURED with an appearance in FightGeek’s graphic novel.  Check it out!

GWNN as a Super-Hero

You’ll have to download the pdf to read it, but trust me, its totally worth the read!!  :-)

Well, here we go AGAIN! Sleep Deprivation but I’m going running! Plus I’m starting an experiment with how I manage my nutrition habits.
