The End of the Rope for the Roundup...For Now

Posted by Jill McLaughlin on Sep 30, 2013

At the risk of y’all thinking I’m a flipper flopper, after this post, it’s the end of the road for The Roundup…again. Or maybe I should say, we’ll see you in yonder pastures. Mary and I will pick it up again when things slow down ‘round here. We’ve got a cookbook to write, programs to create, and we’re generally rockin’ and rollin’ on how to serve you better.

Last Two Weeks' Roundup

I try to get these published every week. I swear, I do. :)

“Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.” – W. Somerset Maugham (via my friend Mark Schneider)

“’Kids’ food’ is a marketing concept created by multinational food conglomerates to sell processed crap. There’s no reason kids should eat differently than adults.” – Chris Kresser

Here’s a buncha juicy stuff from the last couple of weeks. Hey Midwesterners, STAY COOL this weekend!

“Always hold on to the truth. Don’t let others sway your heart. Don’t compromise yourself for the sake of temporal groovyness. Be separate from the crowd that’s awash with normality by standing on a firm foundation.” John Fluevog (I got me a new pair of Fluevogs this week!)

This Week's Roundup

Here’s what Mary and I rounded up for you this week. Have a relaxing weekend!

“I try to be myself, which is really the best I can do. If I’m authentic, I can’t be a fraud, because I’m just being who I am.” – Leo Babauta

“There is no biological requirement for cow’s milk. It is nature’s perfect food, but only if you are a calf.” – Dr. Mark Hyman, Got Proof? Lack of Evidence for Milk’s Benefits

Are You One of the "Worried Well?"

Posted by Jill McLaughlin on Jul 30, 2013

Given that most of the time, thyroid treatment is woefully inadequate and somewhat controversial, I was prepared for the letters and comments that my Experience Life magazine article, Repair Your Thyroid, would receive. I knew that some from the conventional medical community would squawk. And sure enough, I got slammed by some who seem entrenched in the status quo.

This Week's Roundup

Here’s this week’s Roundup. Have a great weekend. I’m going berry-picking again!

“The idea that you should walk around with an accurate calorie number in your head for all the food you eat is downright laughable. Pretending that you can reduce biology to a couple numbers is far more dangerous than your Big Mac will ever be. Eat *real* food, not too much.” – Dave Dellanave, owner of The Movement Minneapolis

“Regret is an imposter. It isn’t real. Nothing could have been done differently than it was. Your past literally could not be other than it is.” – Dr. Randine Lewis

"Goitrogenic" Foods: Thyroid Busters or Thyroid Boosters?

Posted by Jill McLaughlin on Jul 25, 2013

Without question, leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are some of the most health-giving foods on the planet. So it’s a no-brainer that we should load up on as many as we can, right? Even if we have Hashimoto’s? A resounding “yes.”
