The Environmental Working Group's list of produce called the "Clean 15" and the “Dirty Dozen” are finally here. Yippee! This is something that I give to all of my clients as they transition to healthier eating. Finding organic produce can be tricky sometimes and also the pretty penny associated with it. EWG lets us know which 15 fruits and vegetables have the lowest amount of pesticide residue AND which 12 fruits and vegetables have the highest amount of pesticide residue. In 2017, Joel Fuhrman wrote an article questioning whether or not we should only buy organic produce. There is much controversy on this topic and I love and agree with what he said and want to highlight some key points and tips: 1. It is better to eat fruits and vegetables grown and harvested using pesticides than to not eat them at all. I couldn’t agree more. It can get super confusing on our journey to better health! If you cannot find organic produce in your area or it is not feasible please know that you should still be eating your fruits and veggies. The Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen are guidelines for you to minimize your exposure to pesticides. 2. It makes sense to peel fruits, unless you are able to purchase them organic. Remove and discard the outermost leaves of lettuce and cabbage and peel the skin off potatoes, if they are not organically grown. For other surfaces that cannot be peeled, you can wash them with soap and water or a vegetable wash. You can find vegetable wash in your local health food store or you can make your own using equal parts vinegar and water. 3. When we buy organic, we: (a) Minimize our exposure to pesticides (b) Eat better tasting food (c) Eat food with more antioxidants which help to combat toxins and diseases such as cancer (d) Minimize the amount of pesticides our environment is exposed to (e) Support and protect organic and local farmers (f) Increase the demand for organic produce (g) Decrease the number of farm workers exposed to potentially harmful chemicals (h) Help protect insects especially the bees and worms If you’re new to this idea, cut the below pictures out and put it in your wallet or bag. Then when you’re at the grocery store you can just pull it out and away you go. AND if you're looking to clean up your eating habits so you can have more energy, lose some weight and really just become a healthier person for you and your family, you might want to check out my Nutrition KickStart by clicking here.

Below is a list of tips I created some time ago as coaching points when it comes to group riding etiquette and road safety. When you come to one of my clinics, rides or getaways, this is covered every single time no matter what level you're at. One of my biggest missions as a Cycling Coach is to do my part to help bridge the gap between cyclists and motorists understanding each other with the goals of mitigating some of the aggression out there. There is a right way to ride and aesthetics matter and they matter a lot. What it boils down to is that you must act respectful on the road, abide by the traffic laws and ride in a neat and orderly formation at all times. Period. You are NOT entitled to do whatever you want on the road EVEN when no one is around or you’re tired. There is always someone watching when you blow that stop sign or you’re all over the road. There is way more to group riding than this and there is no better way to learn than by taking the plunge, joining a group and doing it. I could go on and on here however these are some tips and guidelines and they really are for your safety and the safety of others. GROUP RIDING ETIQUETTE

Yes? No? Maybe? Advantages or disadvantages? The area we live is in a lot of stopping and starting before we get to rural areas so clipping and unclipping is a pain and they are also new to cycling so fear can take over as well." Does this sound like you? If so, you'll want to watch my video where I talk about:
