"What do you think for this year's boot camp?" I asked Kim on a Sunny, humid Sunday while chatting with her at her booth at the Miami book fair. "Grilled Pineapple" she said without hesitation. "Ok, ill see what I figure out." That conversation was the inspiration for this recipe. After looking up ideas on how to create a healthier, creative version of pancakes that hasn't already been placed on the site. I came up with this paleo pina colada pancake recipe. After all, who do

I can remember the very first time I had Tom Kha Gai Soup. Rollerblading down Hollywood beach in South Florida in my late 20's, while on a date with a very nice young lady. I was beginning to allow my taste buds to grow up and try new foods. Besides, who wants to look like they're "uncultured" while on a date? I decided to see what this Tom Kha Gai soup was all about. This experience was towards the beginning of my wellness journey. Here I am a decade later, still grateful to

What's good Sweat Nation?! Everyone loves buffalo sauce-flavored anything, right? Or is that just me? I can still remember the very first time I had buffalo wings in high school. My life changed for the better after that day at the Denny's in Coral Gables, Florida. Wings are still one of my favorite things. I get excited anytime I make buffalo sauce anything. It really is popular finger food. It's a staple at gatherings and sporting events, and because for those of us that lo

This instant pot AIP carnitas recipe makes a lot of meat. So plan to have leftovers, or use it for Taco Tuesday Through Saturday.

I'm always taken aback by all the knowledge Dr. Rhonda Patrick holds in her head. She digs deep and fleshes out the through tons of research. One of her top recommendations is eating seafood. Unfortunately, I have a seafood intolerance. When I eat it, I begin to get a rash that starts in my arms and depending on how much I eat, it spreads from there. I know many of you in Sweat Nation love seafood, and since I take my role as a wellness curator seriously. I want to help you o

A whole pastured chicken – simply prepared – is always clutch. It can be quite a process to infuse a chicken with flavor and get it fully cooked, while also keeping the meat moist. I brined. I marinated. I “dry-aged” in my fridge overnight. I’ve buttered the breasts and stuck garlic in all the nooks and crannies. But inevitably, my chicken was rarely as moist or flavorful as what I’d enjoy in a high-end restaurant. That is, until now… Enter the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. I

The Miami Half Marathon is coming. While following AIP for the month I went looking for a delicious way to get this nutrient-dense root vegetable in my belly. Why Beets?

What makes the beet such an athletic nutritional powerhouse? Beets Conta

The recipe for Kitchari came into my awareness while listening to an episode of the Ben Greenfield podcast. The idea came to try the recipe to see how my body would respond to the liver cleansing that this recipe claims. I'm currently four days in, and my body feels well. You can follow along on my journey on my @flipawesomeaguilera account on IG. I've been posting my body data and how I've been feeling. Why would you want to do a liver cleanse anyway? The liver is a central

Chia seeds are a delicious and nutrition-packed treat. We use them all the time here in the Sweat Nation Kitchen. Chia seeds, you can think of them as mini powerhouses packing more calcium than milk(you want less dairy anyways), more antioxidants than blueberries(excellent add on), and more Omega-3 than Salmon. Their texture can make your treat interesting, they're so versatile and are a great protein-packed addition to many recipes because of their ability to thicken and gel
