The wonderful Amish farmers who we get a lot of our produce and meat from are predicting a record season for bugs in our area.
As someone who seems to be a magnet for mosquitos, I am less than enthused about this!
I’m also not a fan of chemical bug sprays. In their case, the cure seems worse than the disease, since the chemicals in many bug sprays have been linked to hormone imbalances and different chemical toxicities.
Today’s post comes from Dana, our newest addition to the EP Team. She is a busy career woman and mom, but within the last year, has gained confidence preparing healthy delicious Paleo meals for her “boys-on-the-go!” Enjoy!
As a trainer, one of the most frustrating obstacles I encounter with clients is the “eating paleo is too expensive” dilemma. This one problem can be the biggest obstacle in the path of a paleo neophyte, and not because they truly can’t afford to eat this way, but because their priorities are usually not conducive to making a major change in the way they live in their bodies.
Robb Wolf’s Paleo Budget Shopping Guide is much more than the name implies. This book makes you look at your life, yourself, and your choices and re-examine your priorities. Robb’s sentiment is a “no joke, no excuses one” that I appreciate to the fullest based on years of experience working with people who want to be healthy but continue to find comfort in being stuck behind a list of excuses.

Paleo…. Focusing on HEALTH!!
It’s funny, when I began this Paleo journey I never really gave thought to where it was going to go. I just knew I needed to feel better and that I was not willing to spend one more day, losing to my autoimmune issues.
I wanted to lose weight and find some part of the old me again. I needed to get out from the black hole that I was in, and that’s all that mattered.
So maybe it will take you a little bit longer than two minutes; but this salad was crazy fast to make and crazy good to eat! If you already have eggs hardboiled, and your chopping skills are refined, this might just be the fastest meal you’ve ever made – and tasty too!!

As summer approaches, sun-protection is definitely something that must be considered, but as with many other things Paleo, the best solution may not always be the conventional one.
If you’ve read this blog or others like it, I’m sure you are well aware that diet plays a pivotal role in overall health, energy levels, digestive health and weight. Logically, diet also is an influencing factor in skin health and sun protection.
The conventional method of sun protection is much like the conventional method of many types of illness: Treat the symptoms or prevent the symptoms from occurring.
I am super excited that I will be participating in the next episode of Primal Chef!
