So the main reason for starting this blog is to help you all decipher what you hear on the news, from friends, the internet, etc. on any thing under the sun regarding your health. Since I am pursuing a PhD in nutritional sciences, I routinely get questions from people asking "what should I eat?" or "Why is this good/bad for me?" Therefore, instead of simply replying to one person I thought I would spread the word to many people through a blog. Although my main focus is in nutrition, I have a very strong science background and may be able to provide insight into other aspects of health that you may want to know more about. Moreover, I have asked an expert in exercise (my brother) and physical therapy (my wife) to contribute as needed to help bring the most useful information to you in addition to answering your questions. That being said, if there are no pressing questions that arise this upcoming week I plan to begin the blog with a discussion about green leafy vegetables and how they are often overlooked in the grocery store as a great source of nutrients. Let me know if this would be of interest to you and if so expect an in depth post within the next couple of weeks!
