Each Friday I’ll be making a post with a collection of must-read links that I’ve found. I LOVE to learn and research and when I see an article come my way, I usually can’t stop to read it right then, so I accumulate them in a list and read them later in a down […]
Inflammation Nation!
I’ve been debating how and if to write this type of a post for a few weeks. It’s based off of my own personal experiment and I wanted to pass it along in the case that maybe someone else would benefit, too. After my June 7, 2014 show, I put some dairy and wheat back […]
