Hey everyone, I’ve been really busy with my gym in Hamilton Ontario, Alchemy CrossFit, and my new vegetarian athlete and outreach project www.vegetarianpower.tv Because of that, I’m going to suspend posting here for the next little while, and repost some of my more popular posts over to www.vegetarianpower.tv I would love to stay in touch and connect [...]
One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to nutrition is the “but eating healthy costs too much – I can’t afford it” Bullshit. If you live in North America and have a job you can afford to eat healthy and nutritious food. If I heard that from a favela dweller in Rio it [...]
I have found that when someone would like some nutritional advice it is most efficient and successful if we we start by having them track what they have been/are typically eating for about a week. This allows me to get a sense for your current habits, as well as favorite foods and how the food [...]
I just read an article on yahoo about juicing and blending foods. it is quite informative about the differences, but lacked a few points about the underlying purposes, benefits, and pitfalls of juicing and blending your food. Juicing is a great way to extract the majority of vitamins, minerals, and raw enzymes from produce and [...]
I hated highschool – it was super boring and felt like a huge waste of time. I didn’t really like the people at my school and didn’t really seem to share their interests. When I’d go to class it seamed like all we would do was read a few pages of a textbook written way [...]

With over 500M members and vast amounts of demographic data, Facebook is a marketers dream. The ability to fine tune your audience by geographic region (down to the city) gender, interests, age group, connections with your customers, etc makes targeting ads to your specific group really easy. For example, rather than posting an ad for general fitness to [...]
I see a lot of businesses focused on the short term – and missing out on the bigger picture. There is a real tendency in business for trying to give as little and charge as much as possible. This does both the business and the customer a massive disservice. Truthfully - it really pisses me [...]
Well the new Alchemy CrossFit Website is up and running (if not totally bug free) That took forever – tons of hours – mostly at the wee hours of the morning to get everything converted, posted, and working. I had two main drivers in changing the website (Again…): I had a great talk with Ryan Lee [...]
Well my post a day goal hit a major snag in the form of updating the Alchemy CrossFit website – we were getting spammed/hacked like crazy and it was driving me bonkers – but maybe it wasn’t as frustrating as trying to get everything perfect as far as the new wordpress based site goes… Anyway [...]
