Figuring out what to eat is no easy endeavor.

There are so many different diets, so many different theories, so much information.

And when a person is first diving into the world of health and getting serious about what they are eating, it can be incredibly confusing and overwhelming. Read more »

For years, I have been warning about the health risks of drinking non-organic hormonal milk.

But it isn’t just the synthetic growth hormones that are worrisome.

It is also the alarming level of antibiotics that animals receive and the pesticide-soaked, GMO grains they are fed.

A recently published report from researchers at Emory University, in collaboration with The Organic Center, is validating our concerns with non-organic milk. Read more »

No one blinks when you now talk about buying organic food online.

However, this was hardly the case a decade or so ago when food was almost entirely purchased at some type of retail location.

And there may be very few people in the country that know more about selling organic food directly to consumers than Michael Joseph, who is the founder of three direct-to-consumer organic food companies.

His most recent startup, Green Chef, raised more than $70 million in venture capital funding and grew to become the country’s leading organic meal kit service. Last year, Green Chef was sold to Hello Fresh, a publicly traded meal kit company, for an undisclosed amount. Read more »

For nearly all of us who have migrated to an organic lifestyle, the idea of incorporating powdered donuts or blueberry muffins into our diets is something we don’t even ponder.

The artificial colors and flavors, the trans fats, the absurd amounts of sugar, the way this junk food makes us feel.

Eating these products is a memory of the past when we either didn’t care what we were consuming or were not aware of the harm that these foods were causing to our bodies. Read more »

Last week in Organic Insider, I broke the story about how CEO Sheryl O’Loughlin, who had been leading the company for the past four years, was stepping down from her position.

Sheryl and her team approached me to write this piece, and a day after the story was released, I was able to get Sheryl on The Living Maxwell Podcast to discuss this more.

In our wide-ranging conversation, we talked about why she left REBBL, how the company was started, REBBL’s Brazil nut project in Latin America, her long-time interest in human rights, and how she overcame some serious personal struggles. Read more »

In the very first episode of The Living Maxwell Podcast, I interview Liana Werner-Gray, #1 best-selling author of three books (The Earth Diet, 10-Minute Recipes and Cancer-Free with Food) and a very in-demand nutrition coach.

As with many people who find their way into the wellness world, Liana was faced with a very, very serious health condition at a young age and made the incredibly courageous decision to deal with it in a natural and holistic way — against the wishes of conventional doctors.

But what I found to be even more inspirational about Liana is how she dealt with a tragic family event at age 17, which would have scarred most people for a lifetime. Instead, this tragedy helped shape Liana and gave her the strength to become the person she is today.

In this episode of the Living Maxwell podcast, Liana Werner-Gray shares this story for the very first time, and to this day, I am so inspired by (and in awe of) how she handled this situation. Read more »
