Intervew with Chris Kresser of The Healthy Skeptic

Last week, I did an audio interview with Chris Kresser of The Healthy Skeptic, on the topic of obesity. We put some preparation into it, and I think it's my best interview yet. Chris was a gracious host. We covered some interesting ground, including (list copied from Chris's post):

• The little known causes of the obesity epidemic
• Why the common weight loss advice to “eat less and exercise more” isn’t effective
• The long-term results of various weight loss diets (low-carb, low-fat, etc.)
• The body-fat setpoint and its relevance to weight regulation
• The importance of gut flora in weight regulation
• The role of industrial seed oils in the obesity epidemic
• Obesity as immunological and inflammatory disease
• Strategies for preventing weight gain and promoting weight loss

Some of the information we discussed is not yet available on my blog. You can listen to the interview through Chris's post here.

Sometimes You Just Get Lucky

I went fishing last Saturday on Fidalgo island with some friends.


That's a picture of the trophy minnow I caught after a full day of fishing. I'm thinking about having it mounted.

We made out a little better the next day.


Here are two of my other hunter-gatherer adventures for those who are interested:

80 days....

after 80 days of bed rest, 20+ shots, and 34 wks of being pregnant , i was told by my doctor that it was "ok" to start moving around and to drive a car!! my interpretation of the diagnosis: off of bed rest (my husband's interpretation- not exactly the same, but he's conservative). so watch out if you are on the road....this girl is out of here!! first stop- going to all of my favorite junk shops and finding a bathing suit for this big belly!
