But …

We know by now that fad diets are not sustainable or good for us. But let’s go deeper. Could eating for your blood type be a healthy thing to do?

Nature teaches us about unity, working together, and flow. Natural healing systems from the east use nature as a tool for observation and assessment of the human body.

Nutrition is a wonderful science, but also a diverse one with many different sources of contradicting research. Because of the way the society functions in relation to media and health noise, sometimes we find ourselves eating things that are healthy on paper but don’t make us feel that great. On the other hand, we may find ourselves shunning certain foods …
No-one likes morning breath. But there’s another reason we want to clean our teeth first thing in the morning. You know how your body detoxes and digests your day when you sleep? Imagine all those bi-products, all the waste, the bacteria…ending up on your tongue. That’s exactly what happens – so we’re going to want to disinfect our mouths before …
There’s a ton of fitness noise in the wellness industry – but there may be more to the body than fads tell us so far.

If you live in a major city or have been anywhere near a yoga studio, you’ll know what Kombucha is: that Japanese, fizzy, fermented, probiotic drink that doesn’t always taste as delicious as we hope, is often packed with more sugar than we need… It’s benefits are numerous however which may explain why we see people chugging down bottles all the time. …
Summer heat makes us feel a little fiery. On a physical level we can get dehydrated, sweaty and a little cranky from all those late nights. Because our physical bodies are so inextricably connected to our minds and emotions, we tend to get heated on the inside too; we can easily get irritable, angry, resistant, aggressive and polemic. That’s OK. …
