Whats Your Body Telling You

Im still processing and digesting the wealth of information I received from participating in Kevin Giannis remarkable Rawkathon event. Listening to interviews with 14 world-renowned health experts in seven days is a lot to absorb. One of the folks who particularly resonated with me was raw food coach Karen Knowler from the UK. She spoke about what it means to truly live a healthy balanced life, how to safely transition to a raw foods diet, and put an end to emotional eating. Karens energy and enthusiasm is contagious and by the time she was through speaking, I was vibrating. This will often happen to me when I hear Truth. Ever have that experience, where deep inside you feel an inner "Yes!" after you hear or read something? Ironically, Karen shared a story on the Rawkathon about a time when her own body informed her that she had just made a very important decision. As a follow-up, Karen has written a wonderful article that further illustrates her increased perception and in...

Ive written before about Changing My Relationship With Food and how the process was key in my recovering from morbid obesity. One of the things I discovered along the way was that food cravings are physical . Physical cravings are our cells crying for the nutrients they need.

You will probably have realized that the number of short-news like articles on the SuppVersity has been increasing as of late. The reasons for that are twofold: For one, its the fact that it pisses me off (sorry, but thats how it is) that all the interesting stuff I post on the SuppVersity Facebook Page disappears into an oblivion of which I can only hope that it is not Mark Zuckerbergs *** Secondly, I am currently working my regular job, doing some additional University stuff and working on another nutrition and exercise science related project and dont have the time to do the extensive research thats necessary to produce articles like part II of the "perfect frying oil" article, you may (rightly) already be waiting for. In other words: If you dont want me to switch to a twice or thrice (max) a week schedule, you will have to live with less in-depth articles like this - sorry!...
