Egg WHYte Omelettes?
Posted by Kyle Knapp in Eat Naturally, Food, Health & Wellness, Nutrition on June 26, 2012
The other day I went to a cafe that I often visit and ordered an omelette, which is what I typically order there. A few minutes later the gentleman behind the counter brought out my plate, complete with an egg white omelette. Knowing I’m a trainer and interested in health he had ordered up egg […]
When I Grow Up, I Want To Be Like Bob Ross
Posted by Kyle Knapp in Health & Wellness, Perspective on June 16, 2012
Why? Not because of his awesome retro clothes, even though his hair was epic. Not because I love want to be immortalized on PBS, whispering to a canvas and floating around with soft clouds, bunches of little babbling brooks and happy little trees, even though that would be cool. Not even because he was an […]
Make Shi(f)t Happen
Posted by Kyle Knapp in Health & Wellness, Perspective, Things That Interest Me on June 15, 2012
When it comes to making successful changes in your life, it is often less about what you know and more about what you apply. One of my favorite ideas in this realm is the idea of making shifts in our behaviors. More than simply trying to “change” something, “shifting” is the practice of strategically improving […]
Is Sugar Toxic?
Posted by Kyle Knapp in Food, Health & Wellness, Nutrition on June 11, 2012
A couple months ago, 60 Minutes ran a special report called, Is Sugar Toxic? It is about 15 minutes, is an interesting watch and should be worth your time. For those who just want the take away message… Yes, sugar is toxic. We aren’t sure just how toxic yet, but some researchers and health advocates […]
The Choice
Posted by Kyle Knapp in Health & Wellness, Perspective on June 8, 2012
When people ask me about health, I give them a choice. Do they want to hear more of what people have been telling them all these years or do they want the truth? Most people say they want the truth. Great. Just be ready for the truth to be tricky, unexpected, challenging and sometimes mind-blowing. […]
Come on Harvard…

Today I got the June edition of Nutrition Source Update, an e-newsletter from the Harvard School of Public Health, which claims “to help you cut through confusing information and find practical strategies for healthy eating”. It is often filled with so-called conventional wisdom but this month I read the email summary and went, “oh geez…” […]
Dabbling in CrossFit
Posted by Kyle Knapp in Fitness, Perspective on June 5, 2012
Today I did a CrossFit-esque workout: deadlift 60% of your max as many reps as possible in 12 minutes. It was a great workout and I enjoyed it. However, like every time I dabble in the CrossFit realm, which happens about once a month, I remember why I only do it every once in a […]
A.B.L.
Posted by Kyle Knapp in Health & Wellness, Perspective on June 3, 2012
Always. Be. Learning. We can learn something from just about anything or anyone. Everything we encounter provides us with an opportunity to learn. We learn from our own journey- the successes and the failures. There are lessons everywhere. We can learn from everyone around us. There are so many possibilities for us out there. Everyone’s […]
In Case You Missed It

After many hours thinking, many hours typing and many times revising my thoughts, I did it: a post a day for the month of May. A great eye opening and educational journey. In the end I was able to share many of my thoughts and I’m happy I was able to spend the time and […]
