Garage Strength Athlete Update

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Congrats to Amanda Hottenstein!  Amanda has qualified for the Pennsylvania Indoor State Championship in the women’s shot put.  Over the past few weeks, Amanda has gradually improved her best mark and this past weekend she threw 38′10.  Amanda’s best throws are yet to come and I look forward to seeing her continue to improve throughout the year.

Congrats to Ryan Mauerer!  Ryan won his second straight Berks County Wrestling Championship last weekend.  Ryan avenged one of his two losses on his way to the finals and wrestled a very solid tournament throughout the County Champs.  Ryan’s best wrestling should come during the PIAA state tournament in March!

Congrats to Dakota Davis!  Dakota finished 3rd in the Berks County Wrestling Championships last weekend.  Dakota lost in overtime to the County champion who was also a state qualifier.  Dakota wrestled back to a solid 3rd place finish.

Congrats to Liz Hornberger!  Liz has been playing very well as the point guard for Muhlenberg High School.  She is their leading scorer and one of the best scorers in Berks County.  Currently, Muhlenberg is 11-3.

I am excited to watch these athletes and more continue to compete well and grow as individuals throughout the season!

Paleo Diet in the News

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

The New York Times has done a brief bit on the Paleo Diet and what it is like to eat a Paleo Diet in New York City.  The article is decent and relatively interesting.  I tend to prescribe a Paleo-like diet.  I will throw in more fermented vegetables and raw dairy products than the Paleo’s but in all reality, the principles are quite similar.  Enjoy the read.

Nutrition Discussion

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

A client has passed on a good nutrition round table with Gary Taubes and a few other nutrition “experts.”  This is video 1 of a 5 part series.

Nutrition Discussion

One issue I tend to have with Taubes is that he never points out any difference between grass fed animals raised on pasture and factory farmed animals.  He certainly recognizes there is a nutritional difference between the types of farming but neglects to promote one or the other.  Taubes told me personally that he feels it is up to him to find out exactly “what a good diet is.”  I see and understand this but I believe he can do a lot of justice to the world by really promoting sustainably farmed animals because that is part of a good diet.  Enjoy the video.
