Hello! Welcome to my new (hopefully) Bi-Monthly Blog. I’ve often felt that because there are so many sources of good information out there, there isn’t much more I could add to the conversation. However, I have recently come to the realization that not everyone has the same exposure to the people or publications that I follow. Also, much like our political news scene, the exercise and nutrition world is sensationalized. And also like our political news scene, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.

So thats where I come in. My style has always been a pragmatic one. Critical thinking. Evidence based (as cliche as that designation has become). Truly trying to understand both sides of an argument. Often times, much to my wife’s dismay, I’ll play devil’s advocate in our discussions of everything from the serious to the mundane. So much so, that if we haven’t discussed the topic before she might not know where I actually stand on the topic. If we’ve every met in person and you asked me a fitness related question I probably answered one of two ways: by saying “it depends” or asking if you want a long or short answer.

These point/counter-point type posts will be more a long answer type answers, with hopefully some sort of final thoughts on which way seems to be the better of the two options.

This will be as much of an exercise for me (to understand topics that I may not be well versed in yet, or have a strong opinion one direction) as hopefully informative to you. So if you have any topics you’d like me to write about please let me know in the comments.

Do you have any questions? Want to discuss this more? Shoot me over an email and we can discuss!
