Check out my short video on what foods you can eat on the Paleo Diet, on my new YouTube channel!

Check out this brief overview of my slightly crazy diet history. I seriously think I’ve tried every fad diet known to mankind. The takeaway from my mad wanderings through diet wonderland is that calorie counting is silly, and you really CAN have your steak and eat it too!

The bubblelicious dental days are over. I began questioning the sinister stigma of “the dentist” circa the age of 5.
