Graduate Spotlight: Diane Sanfilippo, Nutrition Consultant
“I attended the Nutrition Consultant Training Program in Berkeley, CA and graduated in June of 2011. Early in 2008, I opened Balanced Bites, an organic, gluten-free meal delivery business. I managed all aspects of the business, including web design, marketing, shopping for ingredients, menu planning, cooking, and delivery of meals. After only a few months, I realized I wanted to do more than provide healthy meals — I wanted to teach my clients, family, and friends to provide for themselves. I realized my passion was to teach people how they could take responsibility for their own health through proper nutrition and lifestyle. I wanted to enable my clients to plan, shop for, and prepare healthy meals all on their own.”

Sean’s Story: Paleo, Type 1 Diabetes & the Endurance Athelete
“…After easing into it with Tim Ferriss’s “slow carb” diet, and then using The Paleo Diet for Athletes as a guide, I made the real paleo plunge–that is, no grains of any sort–in August.
Ok, actually I was pushed into the paleo vortex by my nutritionist, Diane of Balanced Bites.
After mentioning that I was diabetic, I think I got about six seconds into listing what I ate before Diane cut me off and told me that Grain Land would no longer be an option. Holy cats indeed, man.
I completely eliminated gluten and grains and nearly all dairy, though I continued to eat some cheese and a little grass-fed butter or ghee. Switching to this diet template not only helped achieve normal average blood glucose ranges, but it has wiped out extreme highs (160 mg/dL and up) and curved postprandial blood glucose down to much better levels. Pre-paleo, in addition to generally running high (above 100 mg/dL), I’d often be between 130 mg/dL – 160 mg/dL for hours after meals. Today, this rarely happens because my blood glucose rarely spikes, period.”

“DIY: Maple-Sage Beef Jerky Recipe”
People tend to over-complicate making beef jerky. I have found that if you’re dealing with good quality meat (ideally grass-fed), when it comes to a marinade, less is more. The very first time I made jerky it was from elk and I basically tossed the meat in some spices and then chucked it in the dehydrator
