New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!
– Low Calorie Drinks I've Been Using As Staples
I'm often asked if I sip on kombucha, diet soda, green tea, or some other low-calorie beverage during the day, on a plane flight, before or after a meal, etc. In no particular order of importance, these are currently the top 4 low calorie beverages in my diet:
– Pellegrino or Gerolsteiner in glass bottles (I highly recommend adding Omica Organic Butterscotch Toffee Stevia)
– Zevia Soda (click here to listen to my fascinating podcast with the CEO)
– Bragg’s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Drinks (*AMAZING* digestifs, but choose versions with no sugar, like Ginger Spice)
– Kevita Coconut Water Kefir (also choose versions with low residual sugar/calories, like Lemon Cayenne)
– Supplements I've Been Adding To Drinks At Restaurants As Alternatives To Alcohol
At dinners, even long ones at restaurants, I typically limit myself to no more than two (maximum!) drinks of alcohol. But I always have my fanny pack handy, and within the deep recesses of that fanny pack, or somewhere in my coat pockets, I have:
– Hammer Nutrition Effervescent Electrolyte Tablets (I like the “Grape” flavor)
– AquaTru Trace Liquid Minerals
– Omica Organic Stevia (vanilla or butterscotch toffee)
Any of these can be added to sparkling water or soda water, with, say, a squeeze of lemon and some ice, to dress up your drink. Bon appétit!

Light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (makes you sound smart at a cocktail party) can positively impact mood, collagen, testosterone, sexual performance, thyroid function and a host of other parameters – there are even organizations considering banning athletes using it because it's so powerful for enhancing performance (don't worry you jocks out there – it's still legal).

Featured Product:
LivingFuel SuperEssentials Fish Oil
Healthy for the Heart, Brain and So Much More!*
Evidence for the heart and brain health benefits from omega-3 fish oil is undeniable.* But LivingFuel SuperEssentials® Omega 3EDA+ does not stop there. It is far more than just fish oil; it is a sophisticated Antioxidant Essential Fatty Acids supplement and it’s ideal for the entire family.
SuperEssentials® Omega 3EDA+ is formulated to:
- Promote healthy brain and heart function*
- Support healthy circulation*
- Support the body's healthy response to inflammation*
- Enhance mood*
While it does contain ultra-pure fish oils in their natural trigylceride form, it also contains protective Omega-6 GLA from borage seed oil, the powerful antioxidants Vitamin D and Vitamin A, full-spectrum Vitamin E tocopherols and tocotrienols, and the super powerful carotenoid Astaxanthin. SuperEssentials® Omega is the perfect complement to LivingFuel's functional superfoods and comes in easy-to-swallow buffalo gelatin capsules.
Conventional fish oil supplements contain significantly more EPA than DHA (typically a 3:2 EPA:DHA ratio), but SuperEssentials® Omega 3EDA+ contains additional DHA that gives it a 1:1 EPA:DHA ratio. Mounting research suggests that higher levels of DHA are optimal for human health, supporting the new 1:1 ratio.
When it comes to omega-3 fatty acids, not all fish oils are created equal. The best quality Omega-3 fats like those in SuperEssentials® Omega 3EDA+ come from small fish like sardines and anchovies that thrive in cold waters. Unfortunately, many of the supplements lining the aisles of health food stores contain inexpensive fish oils from large fish that swim in suspect waters. Plus, they often contain fillers and synthetic materials that can rob the body of nutrition.
