Toxins are, sadly, all too commonplace in our modern lifestyle. They’re in everything—from our cleaning products to the artificial foods served and sold everywhere to the very air we breathe—and can cause a lot of long-term damage to our bodies.
One of humankind’s greatest fears about aging is our bodies shutting down on us and no longer working as they should. Our muscles waste away and our strength reduces. Our bones grow weaker and more brittle. Our organs stop functioning at optimum capacity, and our immune, endocrine, and reproductive systems grow less efficient with every passing year. ...
Cancer is an ever-growing problem in our modern world. Though it has been around for centuries—dating as far back as 3,000 B.C. — it’s chiefly in the last few decades that it has become a more widespread and serious problem. What’s interesting is that the problem is graver in some parts of the world, where others are less affected. Why is that, you...
Are you causing your own sleepless nights? It’s estimated that around 30% of adults suffer from insomnia, with 10% having such bad insomnia it affects their everyday lives [1]. Even those who don’t suffer insomnia might still be affected—13.5% of people over 18 report feeling exhausted or tired more often than not.
Let’s be honest: we all have days when we feel extra-hungry, like we need a bit of extra food because we’ve exerted ourselves more than usual or our bodies are craving certain micro or macronutrients. Eating a little bit extra now and again isn’t going to cause problems—on the contrary, it can actually give you a lovely energy boost to help you exercise,...

How much effort do you expend into keeping the air in your home clean?
Clean indoor air has been linked to lower risk of disease and illness, improved respiration, and it can even protect your cognitive function and stave off “sick building syndrome”. Plus, it can eliminate allergens, toxins, chemicals, dust, dander, mites, and other irritants that...
Do you have any idea how closely linked your mitochondria is to your biological aging? Mitochondria are the “powerhouses of your cells” [1], the part of every cell that generates the ATP energy that is needed for cellular function. They also are crucial for the cellular signaling that allows cells to communicate with others around them, and they even...
It was the Greek physician Hippocrates, known to the world as “The Father of Medicine”, who said, “All disease begins in the gut.” Thousands of years later, science is still proving that his words are far more accurate than early cultures realized. While not all disease is tied to the gut, the vast majority are. In fact, virtually all disease can be...
What if we told you that your body has the power to fight cancer? That within your cells is all the genetic material needed to cancel out carcinogens, eradicate tumor cells, and stop the spread and growth of cancers?
Are your daily habits ruining your brain?
It’s a strange question, but one that needs to be asked because the things you do every day could either help or hinder your cognitive function. A few smart choices can drastically increase your brain’s capacity to learn, store and access memories, and communicate among its cells, while even just one or two...
Let’s be honest: we’ve all got too much stress in our lives. Our fast-paced modern lifestyle makes it inevitable. No matter how hard we work, there’s always more to do. Every day feels like a race to a finish line that we just can’t ever cross. Stress is an ever-present threat that is contributing to higher mortality rates, greater risk of chronic disease,...
Fall is one of the best times of year to indulge your culinary side. Not only do you get to experiment with a wider range of dishes—including soups and stews that were just too hot to eat over the summer—but you have access to ultra-colorful and ultra-flavorful fall veggies that add so much more complexity to your dishes. Plus, those fall veggies are...
The concept of “farm to table” is a fairly new one—new because until the Industrial Revolution, people could only eat food that was obtained directly from farms. Now, however, thanks to our modern agricultural methods and technologies, we’re able to produce massive amounts of food that is then treated with preservatives and shipped around the world
It’s a well-known fact that as we age, our bodies grow less effective at dealing with infections and immune threats. Research has shown that older immune systems are less likely to respond to invaders as threats—or with sufficient intensity to clear the problem—leading to higher infection rates and reduced immune response.
The human body is a marvelous, but often imperfect, machine.
The human body needs a wide array of minerals in order to function properly. Calcium serves as the building blocks for bones, teeth, and nails. Zinc plays a role in your immunity. Iron is needed for the production of red blood cells. Copper maintains healthy nerve cells, and the list goes on.
The Indian diet is rich in diverse spectrum of plant-based ingredients. Specifically, it is replete with anti-inflammatory spices and herbs, all of which can be amazing for your health. In this post, we’re going to take a look at the top 10 ingredients..
When most people think of the best part of a mulberry tree, they immediately think of the fruit. Tasty, dark, used in a range of jams and pies, they’re an absolute delight.
Here’s a scary fact for you: according to the World Health Organization, iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency in the world
The old saying, “You are what you eat” holds true now more than ever. People who eat a healthy, natural, balanced diet will age more slowly than those who eat sugary, fatty, chemical-laden, and highly artificial food.
Stress is a fairly common issue that affects virtually everyone in the world. We all lead busy, active lives filled with work and activities that demand full focus and attention and can often add to the mental burden of worries and concerns that weighs on us. Over time, that burden can grow out of control, until we feel like we’re crumbling under the...
How often do you get to the end of the day (or even the middle of the day?) and just feel like you need to relax before your mind or body breaks?
Sadly, this is an all-too-common occurrence in our busy, stress-filled lives.
Most people like to play music when cleaning the house, working out, running, or doing chores, but ask 1,000 people whether they listen to music at work, and you’re likely to get a wide range of answers.
No matter what you do, you can’t avoid them. They’re in your pocket, in your living room, on the bus or airplane, even in your car.
Somatic therapy is a form of therapy that has proven highly effective in the treatment and management of PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and even chronic pain.
Did you know that more than 129 million children between the ages of 5 to 19 years are diagnosed with ADHD, or that more than 366 million adults around the world are living with ADHD?
Our love for our family, friends, spouse, and children provide us with motivation to grow, change, and improve, and it’s what drives us to grow as human beings.
Do you have any idea how important the limbic system is for your overall body function? Or, better said, do you really know what the limbic system does and how it affects you?

There are so many things you can do to live a longer life—from making healthier dietary choices to reducing stress to sleeping better.
Stretching is one of the most important things you can do to improve your fitness. While most people tend to focus chiefly on muscular strength and cardiovascular endurance, stretching is an equally important pillar of fitness.
If you’ve never heard of qi gong, you are missing out! The Eastern practice of harnessing your body’s natural flow of energy (or “qi”) has been scientifically proven to enhance longevity, improve brain structure and function, and reduce stress.
Good circulation is absolutely critical for the healthy functioning of your body.
Think about it: your blood is what delivers oxygen and nutrients (the building blocks of every cell) everywhere it needs to go. Without sufficient blood flow, your tissues and organs will be deprived of nutrients and/or oxygen, which can impair function and throw off...
HIIT is a game-changing approach to burning an insane number of calories in far less time—a.k.a. a more effective and time-efficient workout!
It’s exercise that gets your muscles working, but it encourages more fluid motion and controlled breathing. Best of all, it’s both a killer workout and incredibly relaxing.
You’ve probably heard the expression, “Sitting is the new smoking.” Hyperbole aside, what that really means is that spending a lot of time (6+ hours a day) sitting down comes with a number of health risks.
According to The Heart Foundation [1]:
• 1 in 4 Americans spend more than 8 hours a day sitting down. Of those people, 44% get very little or no...
