111. Making Strides in Wellness with FBI Agent Scot Huntsberry + A Tribute to Herbert Benson, MD

What do you think a new FBI agent who’s just moved his family of 7 to a new state for a new job turns to manage his stress?  Does he take up running? Yep. Does he start training for a marathon? Yep. Does he listen to something while running that changes his life? Yep. Find out what Scot Huntsberry turned to in order to manage his stress, and then went on to train law enforcement professionals in at the FBI’s National Academy.

FROM PAST EPISODES:

Some awesome dressings and sauces:

• Creamy Avocado Dressing (the slaw is great, too, but I often make the dressing for other things)
• Pesto Vinaigrette (again, the bowls are awesome, but I’ll make the salad dressing without the bowls as well)
• Ginger Scallion Sauce (you guessed it – the sauce is great on or off the chicken!)
• Lemon Tahini Dressing (skip the salad or not, but please do not use soy or vegetable oil – olive or avocado oil preferred)
• The writer of this blog (with a subject very unrelated to dressings) concocted a very good recipe, trying to knock off Paul Newman’s dressing – I vary it slightly, but it’s a staple in our house
