Someone should create a “healthy libido cookbook” (assuming that one doesn’t exist) because decreased libidos are normally a result of:

- Poor Diet (which leads to ineffective stress management & improper biological functions)
- Poor Outlook

Although I am guilty of owning a lot of stuff. I always look at what I’m buying and who I’m buying it from. I want to make sure that what I’m buying is of high quality to cut down on replacement, that it is sustainably sourced/produced, and that I’m happy to support the company I’m buying from.

There are a lot of people that talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. The bottom line is that when you buy stuff you are making a statement with your dollars. If you want change in how stuff is sourced, created, and disposed of……..its time to pay up.

At my office there are styrofoam cups available and I see the same people every day grab a new styrofoam cup everytime they get water or coffee. This is unbelievable to me. Do they just not care? Are they that lazy that they can’t bring a mug or glass into work and leave it at their desk? Who knows. But with some people you have to tell them to do something – they can’t be expected to do it on their own. I wish my office would stop providing styrofoam cups.

This is a great topic to post about. I hope more restaurants can get their customers to reuse. This will save quite a bit of unnecessary waste.

Recent statistics indicate that Americans eat a bit over eight ounces of meat a day, over 200 pounds of meat per year, which is roughly twice the global average. This figure takes into account everyone, including vegetarians, and people like me that don’t eat meat at all. For this reason, the average for meat eaters is likely higher than what has been documented. Eight ounces a day is clearly too much in my opinion.

I think it’s first important to recognize that while our bodies do need protein, it is a widespread misconception that meat is the only real source of protein. Many people cannot imagine their meal without eating meat. The Recommended Daily Allowance of protein is not as high as one might think and most people, including vegetarians, eat more protein than their bodies actually need.

Perhaps you can start by supplementing one or two plant based meals a week – in place of your meat?
Quinoa, amaranth, spirulina, and hemp are great sources of complete proteins. Leafy greens, legumes, nuts, seeds are also good sources of protein.

I know how frustrating this issue can be. There is a lot of old and outdated information out there. If you have any additional questions or want to speak further about your individual protein requirements, please send me an email and we can set up a consultation. I’d need to learn a bit more about you. I hope this helps!
