Summary
If you know me, you know I am not a fan of deprivation for deprivation's sake when it comes to dieting.
I don't think we should be cutting out foods willy nilly, and I certainly don't think we should cut out entire macronutrients.

Eat less + Move More = Weight Loss!

And I landed myself an autoimmune disease. (I know, good times!)
These days, my Hashimoto's is in remission, I get sick maybe once per year, more often than not I can stop an...

Episode 161: Busting the Heartburn Myth (Pssst it ISN'T too much acid!)

Summary
I remember last summer I was visiting my parents in Florida and on day one I had the worst heartburn I've ever experienced in my life.
It started out with the typical symptoms: that burning feeling in my chest, that hot, sour, acidic taste in the back of my throat.
