Why You Should NEVER Buy Supplements from Amazon
I know, I know… “Amazon is so quick”, “It’s cheaper on Amazon”…

Let’s Talk About Food Dogma, Bio-Individuality, and… Eggs
There’s a lot of noise out there about food. What’s “good,” what’s “bad,” what will save you, what will ruin you.
I think we all need to breathe and take a step back. It seems like we’ve lost the plot.
Food isn’t inherently good or bad. It’s information. It’s chemistry. And how that chemistry interacts with your unique body.

Gut Health + the Mood Connection
If you've ever felt "butterflies" in your stomach when nervous or had digestive issues flare up during stress, you've already experienced the gut-mood connection in action.
But this relationship runs far deeper than most people realize. Your gut and brain are in constant communication — and the health of one directly impacts the other.
