Why I Love Cell Membranes (and Why You Should Too)!

Let me start off by saying, I am a nerd and I know it. There, I got that out. Now, onto the cell membranes. You may recall from 8th grade biology that the nucleus is the “brain” of the cell. The reason this is taught is mainly because the DNA is stored in the […]
Pour Me a Drink…or Not?

There’s so much controversy about alcohol. Is it always bad? How much is too much? Who is most at risk? Why do some people get addicted quickly while others seem to have no issues. I won’t claim to have all the answers as there are lots of important nuances. But rather, the purpose of this […]

You’re So Sweet

You likely know that refined white sugar, Splenda and aspartame are not health promoting sweeteners. But what about all the other “more natural” sweeteners? It seems like there’s a new one every time you turn around. When asking, “What is the best sweetener to use?”, it can be a tricky question to answer. The answer […]
Are you Healthy?

Defining terms is important. “Health” is an extremely relative term.
