A New Year A New You

Posted on January 8, 2013 by Dr. Michael Gibson

This time of year is fraught with resolutions that never actualize or worse – the steps that would lead towards them are never taken. Are you tired of looking in the mirror and asking yourself the same questions you have for the past many?

Why can’t I lose 10 pounds? Why am I tired? Why don’t I have any time? These questions and many more fill the minds of most – at least for the next month, after which time they drift away deep into the abyss of our busy lives only to resurrect themselves next January 1st.

Fish Oil – Fad or For Real?

Eat By Design

The past fifteen years have been filled with news stories about the “miracle– like” benefits of fish oil, and 2010 saw U.S. sales of the product top $1 Billion! Is this supplement snake oil, or are you truly getting bang for your buck?

Essential fats are required fats we cannot make and therefore must consume from an outside source. One category of these fats found in fish oil – Omega 3 fats – are vital to many of the cellular process that help our body operate and maintain great health.

These fats are predominately found in the foods our food eats. Plants, algae and seaweed are veritable stores of Omega 3s and, when consumed by animals including cows and fish, the plant version is perfectly converted to another form of Omega 3 for our use.

Life By Design

Every morning when I was a child, my father would bound up the stairs and at the top he would say (without fail) “YES! Today is going to be a GREAT DAY!” That used to drive me crazy. Now, I get it.

See, my Dad had a reason to believe it would be a great day – he knew it to be true because he had a clearly defined purpose for his day, his week, his month, his year AND his life! In other words, he knew exactly WHY he did what he did.

Dr. Gibson’s Top 9 Nutrition Books

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Dr. Michael Gibson

Eat By Design

Following last week’s Eat By Design Seminar several Practice Members have asked me to offer up a list of my favourite nutrition books.

And as I mentioned at the seminar, I too find it frustrating that there are so many diet and health books that continue to come out on a regular basis many of which completely contradict one another all written by seemingly intelligent and experienced “experts” in the field. Unfortunately, this will always be true no matter what, which is why I thought it would be important for me to post this list to help you cut through all of the hype.

In no particular order, here are 9 of the best books about nutrition and health that have helped to shape Eat By Design in one way or another.
