The Voice of Reason

United States of America — Free-Press-Release.com– Apr 5, 2012 — Chael Sonnen has never been one to mince words.

“You wanna see how quick Wanderlei backs down? Take him a contract with my name on it,” he once quipped about feared Brazilian fighter Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva. Sonnen has no problem calling out the best in the fight game and saying the things most people want to say, but are afraid to.

But the difference between him and every other Muhammad Ali wannabee is that Sonnen backs his mouth up with action. He dominated and nearly dethroned the UFC’s most decorated champion, Anderson Silva, and their rematch in June will be one of the most highly anticipated fights ever. Now he’s putting his thoughts onto paper in his debut book The Voice of Reason; A VIP Pass to Enlightenment not because he wants to, but because evolution will stall without it.

New Sweet Potato Power Book Review

admin — Tue, 08 May 2012 16:07:05 +0000

I should confess that when I meet Ashley Tudor I was a tad nonplussed about another book on diet. Part of if has to do with my cynical attitude (blame Barry Sears and all my money he got) and the other being that our intro took place during the surprise birthday celebration for The Paleo Solution Diet author Robb Wolf. Certainly good company and terrific street credit, it’s not a place for a topic like nutrition especially when the Casadores was flowing like water.

When my copy arrived the first thing that struck me was the esthetic appeal of the book. In an age of hardcover, paperback and now e-books, a title might die from a lack of street appeal. Your eyes are drawn to the covers color and the interesting subtitle of smart carbs. I liked the handy size. It opens & lays flat should it’s owner wish to have it in the kitchen for easy reference during meal preparation.

admin — Mon, 07 May 2012 20:28:40 +0000

Sweet Potato Power

When Diet is correct, there is no need for medicine

Ashley’s book, “Sweet Potato Power“, has beautiful esthetics and has a simple message. Food is our best medicine and our most important tool in maintaining health. When our diet is wrong no amount of modern medicine can overcome it.She makes this bold statement in a very quiet fashion through her book. We live during a time where modern life can totally destroy us by what we eat and how we apply modern conveniences to our lives. She reminds us, that we still have the ability to peer inside of our bodies and begin to retake control and power back because we have more tools today to navigate us back to optimal health. Ashley gives you the tools to bridge the gap between your diseases and problems and to your doctors.

Make Shift Happen

How to make your ‘I can’s” always succeed your “I can’ts”

First up, is Dean Dwyer’s first book called “Make Shift Happen” I met Dean for the first time at Paleo fx and we happened to be a on a panel together and his response’s to audience questions really caught me be surprise. He was one of the most amazing breathes of fresh air in Austin I met really. We spoke and he told me he wrote a book and I told him I’d love to read it and he sent me a copy that came to my office during a clinic day at 9 AM and finished it at 3 PM, while I was seeing patients in my neurosurgery clinic. I could not put it down because it was so thought provoking.

The Blog about Losing Fat by Making Shi(f)t Happen and Stuff…

Make Shift Happen

Anyone who can take books like Rework (about streamlining success and increasing productivity for entrepreneurs and small businesses), Good to Great (about how companies achieve enduring greatness), and Against All Odds (the autobiography of James Dyson, the inventor of the Dyson vacuum) and apply them to fat loss and personal transformation is my kind of guy.

Diet books will only take you so far, my friends.

So last night, I skipped the Lakers game and read Dean’s new book entitled Make Shi(f)t Happen: Change How You Look by Changing How You Think. Actually, I didn’t just read it. Iinhaled all 268 pages of it cover-to-cover.

Was it good?

3 of the Best Gluten-Free Cookbooks to Read Now

admin — Fri, 04 May 2012 18:00:58 +0000

Gluten-free living is all the rage lately. Yes, it’s a serious issue for those living with gluten intolerance or Celiac disease. But if you want to lose a few pounds, clear up your skin, or win a grand slam, gluten-free is is quickly becoming the go-to diet.

Opinions on the best gluten-free cookbooks will always vary based on the person you ask; but here’s a compilation of three worthy titles to help carry you down the gluten-free road (not exactly paved with yellow bricks — it’s more of a path paved with tapioca flour and nut butters).

Paleo Comfort Foods: Homestyle Cooking for a Gluten-Free Kitchen by Julie Sullivan Mayfield is a go-to cookbook when hosting gluten-free or dairy-free guests. The Paleo diet (no grains, gluten, legumes or dairy) is named after our hunting and gathering forefathers. This cookbook takes the familiar dinners we all grew up with and turns them into tasty gluten-free dishes that even gluten lovers will enjoy. The book is large, but the photos are helpful (and beautiful!) and the recipes are simple, easy-to-follow, and taste great. If you’re nervous about hosting gluten-free folks, here’s a tip: clean the kitchen before cooking, and ban wheat flour from the area. Don’t even let it sit on the counter in a closed container. An even better suggestion? Focus on dinner and order the dessert from Fooducopia: Dream Desserts makes a variety of gluten-free bars that are decadent and delicious.

Book Review: Make Shi(f)t Happen

admin — Fri, 04 May 2012 16:05:24 +0000

Make Shift Happen

I was recently sent a review copy of Making Shi(f)t Happen by Dean Dwyer who blogs at BeingPrimal.com.

I’ve read Dean’s blog in the past, and I like his no-holds-barred approach to health and nutrition. To give a little background, Dean was a former Vegan/Vegetarian who, at age 45, decided to try a new approach.

He re-introduced meat into his diet and adopted a paleo way of eating, but more importantly, he addressed the often missed mental and emotional aspects of health and weight loss.

Book Review: Sweet Potato Power by Ashley Tudor – and a giveaway!

admin — Thu, 03 May 2012 18:08:56 +0000

Sweet Potato Power

I was excited to get my hands on Sweet Potato Power by Ashley Tudor, a whole book dedicated to just one ingredient – I was curious to see what that would look like.

Well, my curiosity was cured this past weekend when I dove into the book. I flipped through and found myself in the last section scanning over the recipes. Sweet Potato Linguine, Stuffed Sweet Potato, Sweet Potato Poppers and Sweet Potato Cupcakes. There is even a recipe for homemade sport gel and a recovery drink, very cool! The creative recipes are really just the icing on the top, this book is packed full of useful and practical information. The first three parts of the book read more like what I would imagine a Paleo Carb textbook to look like. Sweet Potato Power does a great job of laying out complex information in a simple and organized format that makes this book accessible to all.

Eat Like a Dinosaur: Recipe & Guidebook for Gluten-Free Kids

admin — Thu, 03 May 2012 17:00:34 +0000

Eat Like a Dinosaur

I received an advanced copy of Eat Like a Dinosaur by the Paleo Parents last month. Unfortunately I was not able to review it till today. While I was reading through Eat Like a Dinosaur, I found myself describing everything in the book, from it’s title and the title of the chapters in it, to the language and images used through out the book, as cute. As great as cute can be, especially for a book intended for children, I was also pleased that the book seemed to be thoughtfully written by knowledgeable authors who felt passionate about the subject. By the end of the book, I felt less like I had been lectured, and more like I had received some useful advice from experienced parents.

Chael Sonnen: ‘The Voice of Reason: A VIP Pass to Enlightenment’ Book Review

admin — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:18:56 +0000

The Voice of Reason

Over the course of the last few years Chael Sonnen has become one of the most divisive figures in mixed martial arts. The outspoken UFC middleweight is beloved by some and reviled by others, to find an MMA fan without an opinion on Sonnen is virtually impossible. With a recently announced rematch against middleweight champion Anderson Silva looming, the timing could not be better for Sonnen to release The Voice of Reason: A VIP Pass To Enlightenment.

When you first open the book it doesn’t take long to figure out what kind of ride you will be taken on by Sonnen. The dusk jacket features a brief blurb from the author that simply states, “You’re welcome, civilization.” If that’s not enough of a clue of where things are headed, you’ll find that none other than “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior of Humanity, COO of the Universe,” has penned the foreword. Those two items set the tone for the book, but don’t be fooled, just like with the author himself, there is much more happening here than a quick glance can discern.
