Within the autoimmune community, I’ve heard many people talk about a decreased ability to recover from exercise. “I can’t do my workout like I used to,” “I take twice as long to recover,” “I’ve had to stop running.” It’s frustrating when, in addition to the symptoms you live with daily, you can’t handle the physical activities that bring you joy. I don’t have a degree ...

Lox and Everything Sweet Potatoes
Now that I’m back in Chicago for the summer, I have been craving all the ethnic food that lines the streets of downtown. I live right in the heart of the city, so the constant bombardment of glorious pizza smells, posters for homemade pierogis, and LED menus advertising $10 Indian lunch buffets is both torturous and inspiring. In Montreal, where I was born and ...
Methylation Series Part I – Methylation and Folate
Introduction A few of you know that a part of my current health journey has been finding out that I am compound heterozygous for the MTHFR mutations, C677T and A1298C, both of which can result in impaired methylation (if that all sounds like gibberish to you, read on for definitions!).

Okay, obviously not part of my actual job description, but I put the hurt on that pizza like it was an assigned task. Several ...

Spice Baked Chicken with Black Olives, Orange and Thyme
No matter the season, nor the temperature, to my mind there is always a place for roast chicken and this recipe is no exception. Just a few short moments of attention and a quick dusting of spice results in a more than satisfactory combination of chestnut-crispy skin, together with a flesh succulent and tender over a pool of fruit-scented juice. You only need add a bowl ...

Maybe you wish you could exercise, but your autoimmune symptoms won’t let you… Most people know that exercise is a fundamental part of a healthy lifestyle. The benefits of regular exercise are well-documented, including: increased muscle mass and metabolic rate (helps regulate weight); decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer; improved bone ...
