Squat the heck?
I’d like to talk about deep squatting today. Deep squatting is a complex movement that requires movement at multiple joints and can break down due to either stability issues in the trunk or mobility issues at the knee, thoracic spine, hip, or ankle. For those of you who’ve done the FMS you’ll remember that deep [...]

Strawberries are here! And, we’re crazy for quinoa!
Ok, usually I post early in the week, but my intention was to confirm that strawberries were ready before posting this most delicious “summer is here” recipe!
Additionally, some of you have expressed your love for the last quinoa recipe, thanks for the comments, and so I thought I’d bring it all together in one post.
This [...]
Spend an hour in your kitchen this weekend…
… and have your breakfast prepared for the entire week!
This week’s post stems from some of the ideas and concerns integrated into last week’s post… the importance of breakfast, not just from a “my mother told me so” point of view, but rather from a wellness perspective, and a functionally fit, physiology-based point of view. [...]
Pre-sweat brekky
Alright, for those of you, crazy like me, that like to get in a 6 or 7am work-out before starting your day, this is especially for you. However, I think this information is great regardless… will be a huge time-saver while supporting organic food and a local business (for you Vancouver-ites).
How old is the cliche, [...]
Pizza party!
GRILLED VEGGIE PIZZA
This recipe was inspired by my good friend Andrea, a fellow foodie and fellow fish doctor! Thanks Andrea!! I’ve tried many variations of this recipe and am NEVER disappointed.
This is one of my favourite things to eat, especially in the spring/summer because of all of the fresh vegetables available at local markets. It’s [...]
Stop acting like you don’t like Swiss chard!
You do! I promise you!
Most of us like spinach, right? There are now so many common spinach combinations found in contemporary foodie lore… spinach and artichoke, spinach Parmesan, spinach and strawberry salad with goat’s cheese, etc. Chard is the new spinach, friends! Not only is it loaded with amazing nutrients, which I’ll elaborate upon later, [...]
Curried Quinoa Salad – Lime Biryani
Spring is in full bloom, and it’s time for light meals, but we still want them to be as nutrient-dense and filling as possible. I know I’ve discussed the Meatless Monday idea before, and having had a vegetarian day yesterday, I thought I’d post a vegetarian recipe this week to honor Meatless Mondays. [...]
