While I relax with Erin and new baby Holden, several distinguished bloggers have been kind enough to guest-post here.  Next up is Gena, a nutritionist and raw-food enthusiast with one of the most informative blogs out there, Choosing Raw.  Here she is with an insanely helpful intro to raw foods and how they can make…

Caitlin needs little introduction in the health blog world.  She’s the blogger behind Healthy Tipping Point and Operation Beautiful, and a newly-published author.  Maybe you’ve seen one of those positive Post-it notes on a mirror somewhere? Hello, No Meat Athlete Readers!  I am so happy to be writing a guest post for Matt while he…

Hey everybody, this is Christine here for Sweet-Tooth Friday.  I was working on a healthy dessert recipe for this week, but I couldn’t stop thinking about a weird experience I had concerning body image issues…it all started off with the simple phrase: Let’s plan a weekend and go to the beach!

There’s a trail in my town that I love.  It’s called the Ma and Pa trail, short for Maryland and Pennsylvania, I think.  It’s partially paved, partially gravel, and it goes through the woods with some winding bridges. And it’s really hilly. This is great, except there’s one problem.  It’s so hilly that I’ve never…
