Posted on November 4, 2018 by PJ Beaven

Today ended Keto week, and I already have started my preparations for Week 3, Paleo. It’s interesting how much I am looking forward to Paleo after Keto. Probably has a lot to do with my level of experience with both of them.

Posted on October 23, 2018October 24, 2018 by PJ Beaven

One of the biggest downfalls many people have in starting a new program is doing too much, too soon, too fast, and too hard. It took me FOREVER to figure this out on my own, which is kinda sad. As an animal trainer, I would never in a billion years think to teach an animal…
