Red Meat, Insulin Sensitivity, and Sage Infused Mushroom Paleo Burgers
Does red meat consumption increase your risk for developing type-2 diabetes? Some epidemiologic studies have suggested this much, while also linking increased dairy consumption with decreased type-2 diabetes risk.1 Insulin sensitivity is the proposed mechanism driving these associations. People with low insulin sensitivity, also known as being insulin resistant, require greater amounts of insulin from the pancreas to stabilize blood glucose levels. Over time, insulin resistance promotes type-2 diabetes as the pancreas fails to satisfy the body’s insulin requirements. This causes excess glucose to build up in the bloodstream, thereby promoting type-2 diabetes. Previously published epidemiological studies have led to…

INGREDIENTS Plantain Cakes 1 medium-size ripe plantain (about 1.5 cups, roughly cut pieces) 4 dates, pitted and chopped 3 tbsp coconut oil 2 eggs Cacao Frosting 8 dates, pitted ¼ cup coconut milk…

5 Paleo Snacks for the Kids in All of Us
It’s funny how we tend to automatically associate kids’ snacks with processed, high in sugar and salt, low in nutrient density options with cartoon characters’ images on the packaging. As if by magic, simply seeing a funny clown or superhero on a box of what is essentially junk food, somehow makes it a good option to give the little ones. Not only is this a bad idea in terms of keeping the kids’ energy level high and concentration levels where they should be, both at school and while playing, but also giving our children these type of snacks starts the…
