Hi! I'm Michael. I'm a *former* diabetic who had an A1C of 11.7. I eventually reversed my T2 diabetes through plant-based nutrition and walking 1 hour a day. Let's beat diabetes one bite at a time together! READ MORE

My favorite mug broke, and no pithy inspirational quote about how "Cracks are just there to let the Light in." is going to keep hibiscus tea from drooling all over my counter. 😭 Giraffes are my freakin' Spirit animals, Man! How could they let this happen?! 🦒 Remember that little store in Pennsylvania called the "Susquehanna Trading Post" that sold Native American gifts? That's where I got it, like a trillion years ago. It's closed now. My life is falling apart. 🤣 Haha, just kidding! Everything has cracks, everything breaks, everything will eventually fade away. ♥️ RIP favorite mug. #thanksforattendingmytedtalk #fournobletruths #giraffetears #impermanence #buddhism #buddha #spritanimal #cracksdontkeepthecoffeein #thepath

Tea time.🫖 I may have diabetes under control, but my blood pressure is high again. I worked hard to ditch ALL of the medications I used to be on so I'm SUPER annoyed to be on BP meds again.😡 My friend Erica and Dr. Michael Greger both swear by hibiscus tea...which apparently beats out green tea when it comes to antioxidant power (and it's been shown to lower blood pressure). So I'm giving @tazo passion a spin for a week to see how it goes and see if it makes a difference. It tastes pretty awesome so I could get used to it daily...I'd rather drink this than rely on pharmaceuticals that's for sure.

Has anyone else found a natural way to lower blood pressure? I'm all ears.

I’m super-confused 🧐 because these *winter* greenhouse tomatoes from @intergrowgreenhouses taste just like *summer* tomatoes. Juicy little 🍅💣s. Maybe I just have spring fever. #springiscoming #flavorbombs #cherrytomatoes #greenhousetomatoes #intergrowgreenhouses

Purim ends tonight and I'm still dreaming about these #hamantaschen from last year's trip to Russ & Daughters in NYC. R&D’s bagels are nothing to shake a smoked fish at, either. Yum. ✡ Happy Purim to those who celebrate!

Is pan-fried olive oil toast a thing? Because it should be. This was *supposed* to be a shot of olive oil refried beans on toast (delicious, BTW), but guess what refried beans look like? You got it. 💩 So today I present to you…toast. #EVOO toast. 🤣 Ciabatta bread 🥖 by @wakerobinfarm! Shout out to Joanie @thebiteshot who taught me in her lighting class how to disable exposure simulation so I can finally compose overhead shots without climbing up on a ladder. Thanks, Joanie! ♥️
