Best Diet and Exercise Articles March 12, 2017

These are the top health articles I find around the web that I think are cutting edge, cool, and just plain awesome!

I have been kind of out of the loop for almost a month… working on launching a new supplement company as well as keeping up with clients, but I am back at it… this week I found out about a new food called SKYR which I have never heard of before as well as the benefit (or lack thereof) of keto diets on workouts. I also threw in something about LEAKY GUT SYNDROME and how it may contribute to weight gain etc. ENJOY
