AH-MAZING NEWS! I’ll be starting along with 4 other celebrity trainers and Shaun T of Insanity Workouts on a new show that will air on ABC prime time. The show, called “My Diet Is Better Than Yours” and will premiere on January 7th at 9/8pm C.

This is an amazing opportunity to showcase alternative treatments and healthy living practices to mass audiences.

International Left-Handers Day

It’s International Left-Handers Day 2015. I’m kinda proud of being left handed but life wasn’t as easy for lefties in the past as it may be now.

This video was a lot of fun to create, check it out to find out why!

Think about it:

In the dark ages, left handed people were considered evil and burned or imprisoned
The bible has 25 mentions of left or being left-handed, all negative
Old paintings depicted the devil as a lefty
Children as late as the 50’s were hit with wooden sticks or their left hands were tied to prevent them from writing with their left hand (this from my father’s own stories)

Still in today’s society, the word “left” implies weak or no good, while the word right or righteous, means often positive things.

Left in Italian is Sinistra, the root word for “sinister”
The word left comes from the Anglo Saxon Lyft, which means weak or broken

Some trivia about the history of lefties is a little bit more positive

The Incas believed left handed people possessed healing powers
Some Natives of North America believed that being left-handed was a sign of luck

Some facts are silly and funny:

More likely to pursue creative careers
Left handed college graduates go on to become 26% richer than right handed graduates
Better at multi-tasking – well, of course

Then, there’s the crazy, bizarre trivia surrounding lefties, like:

More likely to have allergies, headaches or migraines
Three times more likely to become alcoholics
Tend to reach puberty 4 to 5 months later than right handers
More likely to suffer from stuttering
Twice as likely to be men
39% more likely to be homosexual
Adjust to seeing underwater quicker
Less able to roll their tongue than a righty

The trivia and “facts” are endless but hopefully these will entertain you for now!

Natural Products Expo 2015 Highlights

Last weekend I traveled to the Anaheim convention center to check out one of the largest natural foods expos in the word, Natural Products Expo West (sometimes referred to simply as expo west).

I wanted to check out the new trends in healthy options, plant-based foods, supplements and clean, conscious living. There were tens of thousands of products featured there so creating a highlight video of my experience was a bit of a challenge. So I tried to feature here the brands I loved the most based on their vision, mission and commitment to a healthier world.

Check out the video below!

Which brand or product are you most curious about? Is there any one in particular you’d like me to do a review on? What about a giveaway? Let me know by leaving a comment below!
