Nutrition

I LOVE food and sports! Actually, I LOVE great tasting food more than sports. That doesn’t mean that my food choices were always the best for me. Growing up as a carnivore, I always had some type of red meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As I grew older I realized that I was having an issue with digesting red meat. First denying it because, like I stated earlier, I LOVE food, especially red meat. After discussing with a few physicians I realized that my tolerance for certain foods was very low and also that how I was preparing food overall was not in the best interest of my body. Something had to change.
