I was drawn by something I couldn’t fully articulate at the time: a craving for freedom, truth,…
It’s that time of the year again when we’re all thinking a little more about our vitamin D levels. Having optimal vitamin D levels plays a crucial role in immune health in addition to supporting bone health, sleep, and blood sugar balance (this vitamin does a lot in the body).
These days, I see it more clearly. I can name it now. I don’t only live inside it, but I still return to it—especially as a parent, especially when things stretch thin. The difference is now, I pause. I reflect. I ask myself if I have to hold it all. Sometimes I still do. But not by default. Not blindly. Well, usually anyway. I’m writing to make the invisible visible. To name what I rarely heard said out loud, not just to others, but to myself. When I’m holding the center while everything pulls at the edges, absorbing what others…
“Even though there were long periods of inactivity, the Hadza are often resting in postures that require their muscles to maintain light levels of activity,” explains professor and researcher David Raichlen, Ph.D. “Being a couch potato—or even sitting in an office chair—requires less muscle activity. Since light levels of muscle activity require fuel, which generally means burning fats, then squatting and kneeling postures may not be as harmful as sitting in chairs.”

If you wake up anxious these days, you’re not alone. Between the news cycle, global uncertainty, and the chaos of daily life, it can feel like the world is spinning faster than we can catch our breath. I’ve been feeling more anxious than usual myself lately—partly because of everything happening in my own life, and partly because so much in the world feels beyond our control. And yet, even in times like these, it’s still possible to find a sense of calm—to create a small pocket of peace within yourself that isn’t so easily shaken by what’s happening outside. That’s…

Years ago when I had little ones who liked going to the pumpkin patch, we’d always come home with a few pumpkins. While I don’t always have time to make homemade pumpkin puree anymore, our family still loves pumpkin bread during the fall. It’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup and features all the warming spices you love about the season. This pumpkin bread is still grain free but features nutty almond flour instead of my other coconut flour version. I also included a delicious maple glaze that sinks into the bread while it’s still warm. A slice of this with…

One of the key elements of the Plate is the emphasis on unstructured movement and the need to break up sedentary behavior with just a few minutes of movement. Structured exercise provides a wide range of substantial health…
