The Refinery
If you’re looking for resources on healthy eating tips and recipes then you've come to the right place. Feel free to browse through my blog The Refinery.
This is where I share thoughts and ideas… sometimes facts and sometimes questions about food and its impact on health. What is Paleo? Low-carb. And Whole30? What about Preventing diabetes? Reversing high cholesterol? Are statins safe? Is Vitamin C supplementation necessary? What does Magnesium do? How much protein do I really need to eat? If you have an interest in learning more about nutrition, and you often find yourself looking for healthy recipes and meal ideas, then I’m certain The Refinery will feed your curiosity and link you to wholesome recipes that you can use to make healthy eating simple.
