One Question To Transform Your Relationship With Food
This is a very simple, yet very profound idea - and it's one that, if asked consistently has the potential to transform your relationship with food, and indeed yourself!
What if you were to ask yourself this one question, each time you ate something. What might happen as a result?
Here's the question:
Do I need nourishment or nurturing?
So simple and so powerful, don't you think?
The thing is food solves one problem: the need for nourishment.
But it is often used to nurture ourselves as well. It stands in for the hug we ache for; the understanding we wish for; the love we're missing; the rest we very much need; the s...

PPI Side Effects Destroying Your Blood Vessels
It seems whenever I turn on my TV these days, there’s Larry the Cable Guy with a quick fix for heartburn.
He makes it sound so simple. Just pop a pill, eat all the chili dogs you want, and no more heartburn… at least for a couple of weeks.
What Is Heartburn?
Heartburn is an irritation of the esophagus that is caused by stomach acid. It has nothing to do with the heart.
But a new study has found a link between proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) — heartburn drugs — and the premature aging of blood vessels.
Heartburn Drugs PPI Side Effects
Researchers focused on the effects of two PPIs, one of which is Nexium. They...

Natural Ways to Help Your Insomnia
I don't know if it's just a writer thing, but I get spells of insomnia all of the time. I will be laying in bed, fully aware that I NEED to get to sleep so that I can function the next day, but I just can't. I am usually fairly tired, too, but my mind just can't shut down. I once heard that if you want to imagine what the mind of a creative individual looks like, think of a web browser with thousands of tabs open all the time. I can't help but laugh, because it's completely true! My mind has a hard time turning off, which makes bed time almost impossible.
I'm not the kind of person who would take prescription pills. Not ...

Estrogen Dominance is Near
Our primal ancestors had a tough life. They were constantly threatened by cold, famine, woolly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers and more.
In many ways we have a much easier life. But in other ways our modern world may be more deadly. You see, in the last 100 years our environment has been flooded with man-made chemicals, toxins and pollutants.
What Are The Worst Toxins?
Some of the worst toxins we face are what I call “xenoestrogens.” These alien estrogens mimic estrogen in your body. And they destroy your delicate balance of estrogen, testosterone and other hormones.
Research proves the link between these envir...

Insect Resilience and Climate Change
Ecosystem tipping points and climate change warning signs are making headlines. Yesterday I read record breaking heat is melting roads in some of India's busiest cities.
Scientists predicted a rise in temperature would lead to an increase in the number of insects worldwide, ushering dire consequences to the farming community. Warnings unheeded to our own detriment as now one of Africa's staple crops, cassava, is reeling from super bug infestation.
In short climate change has already altered earth's ecological footprint with unstable fluctuating seasons. A longer season means insects have a higher metabolic rate, quicke...
