How to choose a Nutrition Advisor
This is going to be one of those controversial entries, but I've been asked three times this week to comment on the topic, so I felt a blog entry was necessary. I will state at the outset ; I won't be listing names of other consultants, good bad or otherwise! To do...
Still more courses…
This is a quick entry today, to announce a long-awaited offering from TPC - the Formulation Course! For many years on my yahoo and Facebook groups, I've been urged to set up an online class that teaches the art and science of basic dietary formulation, so those with...
Grain free, cooked recipe for a 50 pound dog
An updated low-carb, grainfree version of the recipe I posted a few years ago, which included rice as part of the carb portion (and I no longer use rice, unless it is therapeutically necessary). Note that this is a higher fat diet, and so may not be suitable for all...

A re-cap on the new course
I am getting a number of emails asking for two things; one, the details listed at the bottom of the course description, so I am going to just repost them here, without the description. NOTE: I have 27 applications for the scholarship so far; it is unlikely I will be...
Introduction to Animal Herbalism
