In a garden, weeds have a devastating effect. By monopolizing the nutrients and choking the roots of the rest of the vegetation, weeds displace other plants.

For most of my time on planet Earth, weight was not a mere number on the scale. Weight was the confidence to show up in the world, the possibility of attracting a mate, and ultimately what fueled myself-acceptance.

Reliving my son's last moments every time my loss was mentioned became my reoccurring trauma. Nothing prepared me for this. I realized the only way past the grief was through it, and that’s what pushed me to the pen.

The microbiome is our health engine, and it’s what determines whether our metabolism stores or burns fat.

I took over the book and started chronicling the intersection and occasional asininity of the human and magical worlds. That’s when eccentric plunked its butt on the deck next to mine and we careened into the world of funky oddities seasoned with occasional mayhem.

The stomach is the first organ that deals with whatever food we eat. In a fat-burning metabolism, the stomach has one critical characteristic: high levels of assassin-grade acids.

Difficulty losing weight is not a character flaw, and it’s not mere willpower.
