Winter in Alaska: The Ultimate Trip to the Far North
Time to plan an incredible trip to experience Winter in Alaska! Follow along for my full itinerary for a 6-day trip through the interior Alaska from Anchorage to Fairbanks. A trip north to Alaska in the heart of winter is definitely not on the TOP of most people’s vacation short lists. Winter in Alaska is COLD and DARK. However, Alaska has been on my bucket list for a long while. So, I rounded up my warmest clothes and we set out to explore the interior Alaska in sub-zero temperatures in mid-January with hopes of catching a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). Here’s my account of the trip from…

Blueberry Chia Oat Milk Pudding – with Willa’s Oat Milk
Looking for ways to change up your breakfast routine? Chia Pudding is a great alternative because it can be made days in advance and it contains excellent fiber and Omegas from seeds. Willa’s oat milk works great for extra carbohydrates and flavor. I used Willa’s Organic Unsweetened Oat Milk in this recipe. Here’s why Willa’s is the only oat milk I will use. Chia pudding is versatile because there are plenty of topping options! For a more filling treat, try adding more fruit, or some granola for crunch. Change up the flavor profile with different herbs. I love pairing blueberries and basil with coconut cream. Other Willa’s Recipes: Pumpkin Spice…

My Favorite Gadgets for Stocking a Carnivore Kitchen
When you go on a Carnivore Diet, in many ways cooking and meals become way simpler. A well-stocked carnivore kitchen for cooking nourishing nose-to-tail animal-based meals comes down to a few essentials. If you simplify ingredients, it is that much more important that things are cooked well. These are my go-to tools for all things MEAT. Check the boxes for prepping, cooking, and storing food while following a carnivore diet. When it comes to a meat-centric carnivore kitchen, here are some of the tools I find myself using daily as I cook nose-to-tail and prep at home: The Essentials 1.

What Is A Carnivore Diet?
The carnivore diet means eating only animals; no plants. The diet is largely meat: a lot of protein, a lot of fat, and nearly zero carbohydrates. If it IS an animal, or it comes from an animal, it is likely included in the carnivore diet. A carnivore diet can be thought of as a perfect elimination diet. It is on the extreme end of “diets” because it is so restrictive; however, with careful planning it is a highly nutritious and sustainable way to eat. When you eat animal foods nose-to-tail you are consuming the most nutrient rich, bioavailable foods on the planet! Eating animals nose-to-tail will provide plenty of Vitamin…

What It’s Like to Row 150K in a Month
Before the “Iron Lung Challenge” was presented, I had determined for my own health to row a minimum of 20,000 meters per week from Thanksgiving until New Year’s Day. (Attempting to row 150K was not on my radar.) I was looking for a way to maintain my cardiovascular fitness as the weather got colder, the days got darker, and I would typically feel my motivation wane. I thought this was a reasonable addition to my usual CrossFit schedule: simply picking up an extra 20 mins of rowing a few times per week. Lo and behold, shortly after I began my endeavor, Decima Crossfit announced the challenge. The stakes: the athlete…

How to use L. Reuteri Yogurt to Exponentially Increase your Probiotics and Make Them Last
L. Reuteri yogurt is easy to make and keeps the probiotic species growing. While I’m not a big fan of most dairy, especially low-fat and adulterated dairy, I do see a valuable place for fermented dairy in our human diet. Traditional ferments, like yogurt, kefir, and skyr, provide optimal conditions for probiotics species to thrive AND to survive our gastrointestinal tract to confer a benefit for our intestines. Thus, when using probiotics, fermented dairy is an incredible functional food. Probiotic capsules and tablets have a shelf-life because they are living organisms which die off over time. However, when put into an optimal environment, they can also proliferate and thrive beyond…
