Humans did not eat dairy until we domesticated animals 10,000 to 40,000 years ago. Our immune systems evolved to understand and allow human milk as food, but not the dairy from other animals. Over time, certain cultures became dependent on the dairy of different mammals: horse, camel, yak, sheep and goat. Eventually we bred a type of cattle and began to have cow's milk.

Complex hormonal, immune and neurological systems depend on a consistent light/dark sleep schedule. Growth hormone is released by the pituitary after we fall asleep. It promotes new cell growth, old cell repair, and communicates with other vital hormone systems such as cortisol ... Keep Reading >

Getting Enough Carbs (Without Starchy Foods)
Getting enough carbs on a Gluten Free or Paleo Diet can be a challenge. My Paleo-Inspired diet is pretty simple. It's based on foods our human digestive system consumed for millions of years in the Paleolithic Period in history: proteins and fats (animals), and vegetables (plants). Add some avocado, a little fruit,a few tubers, lots of herbs, and that's it. I call this way of eating The Diet For Human Beings on my DVD. I don't ... Keep Reading >

Fried Eggs in a Bell Pepper Ring
This is the easiest thing there is, and fried eggs in a bell pepper ring just might make breakfast a little easier. If your kids haven't learned to love peppers yet, maybe this will help! I don't recommend cooking in Teflon non-stick or other coated pans as the plastic coating on them will come off into the food - even if you can't see it degrading. Try enamel-coated iron, or a good old cast iron skillet you don't wash with soap. My ... Keep Reading >
