A Whole New Me

June 3, 2019 Leave a Comment

Well, hello again. Shaina here. I feel like I need to reintroduce myself, because I seem to be a different person than I was a month and a half ago.

Book Review: The Circadian Code

May 27, 2019 Leave a Comment

The Circadian Code, by Dr. Satchin Panda, is not my favorite book I’ve read about sleep, but it might end up being the most personally transformative.

Initially I envisioned Real Food for One as a challenge – to eat only whole foods for a year, to blog about my weight loss, and to create recipes. That proved too extreme a change, and I quickly burned out. I also discovered I wasn’t great at photography and had trouble developing new recipes every week.

I scrapped the whole thing and deleted my posts….

What My Home Sleep Study Was Like (And Why I Got One)

April 24, 2019 Leave a Comment

Not so long ago, I spent five hectic, fun-filled days in New York City with two of my best friends. It was a great trip all around, but I came home determined to deal with two health issues that got in the way of my fun- plantar fasciitis and heavy snoring….
