If you’ve been paying attention, you know that I am a huge proponent of finding alternative fitness methods. The first step to starting on a healthier path is eating a little better and getting out of your house and moving around! But after that, the next thing that often comes to mind, when people think […]

I love to read. For as long as I can remember, I’ve devoured written words like they were the nectar of the Gods. As a little Jerdling I always leaned much further toward arts and literature than math and science (a trend that has definitely continued on into adulthood). I still avoid math like […]
2014 was the year The Jerd got serious. I started this site two and a half years ago, with absolutely no plan whatsoever, with the only goal being to help some of my nerd friends live a little bit healthier. Since then it has blossomed into something I am truly proud of! While I’m preparing […]

That’s right. It’s time for #RealTalk. Nerds and geeks are a funny lot, we spend our entire lives being – Stereotyped Shamed for our “non-mainstream” interests Picked on for our physiques Made to feel uncool and unworthy of group acceptance And then we turn around and do the same thing to those around us! Honestly, […]
I get emails weekly from companies and websites that want to buy ad space, get endorsed via an article, or write guest posts to promote their own content/agenda… I turn 99.9% of them down. Why? Because I want only the best for my readers! While the extra $$$ would be nice, and it would definitely […]
I pound down almonds like no-one’s business. One could almost say I eat the crap out of these tasty little nutrition bombs. If you are looking for a yummy and nutritious snack that requires zero preparation then you might want to pay attention to the words I am about to drop on the subject.
I love this time of year. Not only is Halloween right around the corner, but AMC’s The Walking Dead returned to the air last weekend too! It didn’t just return either; the season 5 premiere crushed it! With 17.3 million viewers tuning in, it was the most watched cable TV show of all time. […]
Show of hands; how many of you have said the following when faced with something you knew you should do? “I don’t have time.” Don’t lie. We’ve all said it before. Even yours truly! It’s almost become the default “Get Out of Jail Free” card. Have something you know you should do? As long as […]
I realized the other day, that while we have tons of recipes available here on the site, we don’t have any healthy desserts! So it’s time to fix that! The problem with desserts is that we expect them to be super sweet, and as any loyal reader of this site knows, sugar is the enemy! […]
I think that by now it is clear that nerds shall inherit the earth. But if that is true we might be in trouble because, in a lot of survival situations, I am pretty sure zombies > than most nerds! The Dilemma We geeks are often faced with an unfortunate dilemma when attempting to go […]
This past weekend I celebrated turning 42 surviving another year! I spent the weekend with a vigorous workout, enjoying the company of my family, selectively ignoring the gray hairs cropping up in my beard, and reflecting on life in general. While I often get caught up in the day-to-day, and complain about how little free […]
