If you’re a runner, you know there’s no shortage of new supplements and other products that claim to promote faster recovery for us. And mostly, as runners, we’ve learned to ignore them. Usually, we just don’t believe it. Speed of recovery is hard to measure, subjectively, and even when the objective evidence is there, the […]
For the past four years, every single one of my runs has been the boring kind. Who knows how many thousands of miles I’ve endured … and I just realized this. How did this happen? Like this: back when I was training to qualify for Boston, I discovered Core Performance Endurance. The program called for […]
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been experimenting with tart cherries as a workout recovery aid, as part of 7-Day Tart Cherry Juice Challenge and series of posts sponsored by the Cherry Marketing Institute. Well, the results are in. When I wrote “surprising” in the title, I meant it. But not for the reason you […]
I don’t write about it often, but I’m a father to two wonderful little kids — a four-year-old boy and one-year-old girl. The obvious question (that people always ask) is whether my wife and I are raising them vegan, and the answer is a qualified yes: Yes, but we don’t want to choose this lifestyle […]
It’s been a full month that I’ve been drinking tart cherry concentrate, twice a day, and today I’ve got the promised third and final post in this series, including two new recipes and answers to some FAQ’s from my previous posts. Once again, to be absolutely clear: this series was sponsored by the Cherry Marketing […]
Heather Crosby, creator of YumUniverse and author of the upcoming book by the same name, knows a thing or two about creating a healthy lifestyle. At first glance, YumUniverse is beautiful and artsy and obviously focused on healthy, plant-based, gluten-free, whole food. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll discover that Heather has the same […]
Note from Matt: I’m at the Woodstock Fruit Festival, eating nothing but raw fruit and vegetables for a week and doing all sorts of fun stuff, from high ropes and lake swimming to listening to talks by Mike Arnstein, Tim Van Orden, and Dr. Doug Graham (I’m actually listening to him give a food prep […]
A few weeks ago, I published a podcast episode about my most recent diet experiment: 80/10/10, also known as fruitarian. The diet is 100 percent raw and very low in fat (only 10 percent of calories), but I’ve made it slightly less extreme by eating cooked food for dinner most nights. I’ve felt spectacular on […]
I’ve mentioned a few times that I’m kind of a nerd for personal development, but I realized the other day that I’ve really never taken the time to explain it. The name doesn’t exactly sell it well; I much prefer self-improvement. (Both are better than self-help, though.) I say “nerd” because there’s nothing cool about […]
A few months ago I started a personal blog, inspired by the week I spent with author (and one of my heroes) Seth Godin. I was hoping to publish a new post for each of 30 straight days, but I failed at that, quite miserably. But one post there was about fear, something I’ve been […]
