Hey Everyone,
Midterm season is upon us--as Cardio with Dr. Bill Hogan was
this morning featuring a 60-question variety of heart, EKG and
interpretation problems. If you've ever watched a medical drama
(and chances are good you have), you will probably find yourself
staring at the monitor trying to pick out abnormal P waves, a
spiked T wave, or a depressed ST interval. I know I was excited
when we learned about atrial fibrillation and later that night I
was watching a show where a patient was crashing and the doctor
yelled some combination of A Fib and STAT! (sick life
bro..)
For those of you who don't know Dr. Hogan--well, he is an
interesting man. He comes across quite 'militant' and 'in your
face'. My tip is: DO NOT BE LATE TO HIS CLASS, or he will yell at
you and call you out right in the middle of lecture. He yelled at
my buddy going to restroom and told him to sit back down. What I do
appreciate about Dr. Hogan is that he is a very passionate
lecturer; he practically yells out during the lecture and provides
quality analogies, which maintains my attention throughout lecture.
On top of that, the cardiovascular system in general fascinates me
so I enjoy the material.

The following is a recipe I'm passing on after RJ Burr
recommended I try it.
Paleo Cookie Dough (no
wheat, added sugars)
- 1 jar of garbanzo beans
- 3-4 tablespoons of almond butter
- 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder
- Stevia
- 85% dark chocolate crumbled up
- ¼ cup coconut milk
Ideally, blend all ingredients in a food processor and let sit
in the fridge. I don't have one so I added coconut milk and
garbanzo beans in a blend until smooth and then took it out and
added in the almond butter, chocolate whey protein powder, stevia,
and folded in the pieces of dark chocolate. Throw it in the fridge
and chill and eat it as is. No baking. Test it out. I thought it
was delicious.
What my friends and I noticed was the longer you've been eating
healthy and paleo, the better it tasted. My friend who eats
McDonald's a couple times a week hated it. My friend who ate
decently healthy thought it was 'pretty good'. RJ and I who are
strict paleo eaters absolutely LOVED IT. Funny, eh? Just an
observation...
Peace,
CC
