Video: What Eating “High-Fat” Does To Your Cholesterol
What happens to your cholesterol when you eat high-fat? Jimmy Moore and I review my 9 month cholesterol numbers since going low-carb, high-fat. I’ve been following a high-fat, low-carb eating style for 9 months (as outlined in my 30-day program) and my blood test results are in! Today; with the help of Jimmy Moore, we’re reviewing my results and chatting about what eating high-fat, low-carb does to your cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides. AND! We show you how to interpret the results of your blood tests, the cholesterol numbers you should watch for, foods that put you at risk, the connection between triglycerides and carb intake, and how to change your numbers for the better. If you’re curious about cholesterol, HDL, LDL
Lets get HORIZONTAL!
When we chatted about connection, and I shared how one motion helped me reframe my days, I was surprised many people both “got it” and needed it. It’s not I surmise I’m a special snowflake (as our little friend used to call me) it’s as we bumble through life & see what others choose to share it’s easy to think I’m the only one who ___. Whatever your ___ might be. You commented. You emailed. You messaged. And, most movingly, the Child’s teacher grabbed me yesterday at drop-off and said. Thank you so much. You made my day.

Take Care: There’s More to Medical Ethics Than Absence of Harm
There’s a widely held belief that a doctor’s primary ethical obligation is to “do no harm.” The “no harm” principle, taught to all health care professionals, is important and meaningful, but it’s only part of a bigger ethical obligation we medical professionals have. That is, simply put, to take care of people. That duty of care is an important and useful guidepost in the increasingly complex world of medical ethics. Medical professionals have an ethical duty to relieve suffering, and to save and prolong lives.

Blogging is dead. Long live the blog!

My answer remains NO. Here’s why
Egg-free! Roasted Herb Crackers (grain-free, vegan, paleo, keto + low-carb)
Crunchy, grain-free flax crackers made with ground flax seed, celery and fresh herbs. Baked in the oven until crisp. Rich in fiber, iron, magnesium, and vitamin B6. Did you know? The sound of chewing; the crunch that we get from our favorite foods mashing up against our molars, is what signals our brain/body that we’re satiated and actually eating? This may be why you feel hungry after gulping down a ginormous smoothie… because there’s no crunching action happening. Lots of crunch happening this week on HP. First baked turmeric plantain chips, now herb crackers… and; later this month, a delicious dairy-free, coconut-free (vegan!) fat bomb bark with even MORE crunch. If you follow Healthful Pursuit on Instagram, you know that most all
