Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

And all these neurons are a manifestation of genetic variation, natural selection and the environments in which our ancestors lived?" In the Spring 2013 issue of SCAN's PULSE  (Vol 32, No 2, pg 7) there was a great article titled "This is your brain, this is your brain on food." I read this article a while back while traveling and it really caught my attention. I am always interested in the lifestyle approach of healthy living and just like you, I get it that it can be overwhelming to learn how to "eat healthy"....there's a lot of information out there and I try to read it all!
