I’ve had several clients lately ask me about coffee enemas, and if I thought they were beneficial.

Well, from much reading and researching,...

I love ice cream. It’s probably my favorite dessert. However, after removing lactose and most dairy from my diet several years ago, and then incorporating a paleo lifestyle, ice cream no longer had a home in our freezer.

I really didn’t miss it except for the times we’d be with family or friends and everyone was enjoying a bowl of creamy, delicious ice cream. But I knew, it...
