Welcome to Very Almost Healthy!

It’s an odd name for a blog, right?  But hopefully it conveys that while I’ll do my best to share everything I (think I) know, we live in an era where nutrition science is still evolving, renowned researchers and institutions regularly clash on central “facts,” and sometimes it’s just plain ridiculous to figure out what’s healthy and what’s not.

With all of that in mind, welcome to Very Almost Healthy!  Here, I will share with you my thoughts on what it means to eat well and live well, as well as my own personal theories on how to do that without driving yourself crazy.  Hopefully some of it will work for you, you’ll save time and you’ll find yourself energized - and excited! - to do more as a result. 

First things first, I am not a physician.  I am a passionate observer of data, daughter of a beautiful mother with lung cancer, and concerned citizen who wants to make good choices in the presence of good information about what I consume on a daily basis. 


And so here is what I can do:

• Share research and facts I find most compelling on nutrition and wellness
• Provide tips to make good health (food and otherwise) doable in a chaotic life
• Tell you my favorite recipes and products in case they can become yours too

I believe we can all make meaningful and lasting improvements to our health, and that it can be fun!  No really, it can be.  I don’t have a newfangled diet, a strict meal plan, or a list of “eats” and “don’t eats.” I have some ideas that have worked for me so far, and have made me, I think, very almost healthy.
