Chris EdwardsThe pandemic has created lasting changes to the economy. More employees are working from home, videocalls are replacing business travel, and home ‐based entrepreneurship is booming.

Popular cottage foods include baked goods, canned goods, pickled goods, chocol...

Why Self-Care Can Assist You in Stress Management
Many of us have so many duties in life that we neglect to look after our own needs. This is especially true for those who are responsible for a large number of people. Self-care is a vital element of stress management, even if it's difficult to prioritize when you have so many other things on your to-do list.
How Self-Care Can Help You
When we're physically and emotionally exhausted, we're less equipped to handle the challenges that life throws at us. Or, to put it another way, when we are physically and emotionally at our best, we are more robust and capable of handling life's stress. A massage, a hot bath, or some ...

Food Intolerances: A Warning of Bad Things Ahead
I’ve recently discussed how the majority of food intolerances, whether to FODMAPs, histamine, nightshades, fructose, etc., are really manifestations of dysbiosis and SIBO. Here is another way to view these phenomena: Food intolerances are your body’s signal to you that serious deterioration in your health is coming.
In other words, if all you do is choose to reduce or eliminate the offending food, you are still left with the massive disruption of your intestinal microbiome that caused the food intolerance in the first place, along with increased intestinal permeability and endotoxemia. So say you eliminate ferm...

Considering Homebirth? Here ’ s One Woman ’ s Story
Experiencing Homebirths
Homebirths are traditionally attended by two midwives, but I also hired a doula (birth coach). Most midwives only take a few clients per month which enables them to really get to know their clients. Each appointment was centered around getting to know me, and my other two children (I had to bring them to most appointments), answering any questions I had and asking how I was feeling. I was grateful I could bring my other two children because many other OB/GYN practices were not allowing women to bring anyone else to their appointments during COVID. Each appointment lasted about an hour.

Answer to Case 643
Answer to theParasite Case of the Week 643: Not a parasite; plant material. As mentioned by Idzi, Bernardino, and Phil G-J, this beautiful structure is apeltate trichome, possibly from an olive (Olea) leaf. Bernardino Rocha provided a greatlink to this open access article and the photos look just like what we are seeing. To obtain further insight, I contacted our knowledgeable botanist reader, Dr. Mary Parker, and was pleased to hear that she agrees with our assessment! She commented that this structure is definitely a peltate trichome and could quite possibly be from the lower epidermis of a leaf of an oli...

15 Self Care Ideas That Fit Into Your Lunch Break
Self care is important for your physical, mental, and emotional health…but sometimes there just isn’t a lot of time for indulging in self care activities when you also have a job, a family, chores, etc.
So while self care might be one of the first things to go when your to-do list stacks up, the times when you are busy and overwhelmed are actually when you could benefit from self care the most.
That’s why I learned that self care is all about balance! Don’t try to overextend yourself and do all of the self care activities you can think of every single day. It’s just not realistic.
Instead, try comm...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 17th 2021
This study is consistent with previous evidence showing that inflammaging, or age-related inflammation, is naturally heightened in the nervous system. Moreover, the authors disproved their hypothesis that anti-inflammatory microglia-specific genes are responsible for the elevated inflammatory response in aged brains since the expression of anti-inflammatory mediators was elevated in middle-aged brains following infection. Thus, the cause for the increase in pro-inflammatory genes remains to be elucidated.

The New Credible Science of Longevity versus the Old Anti-Aging Snake Oil
The "anti-aging" marketplace has long been a pit of fraud, lies, hopes, and dreams, and blatantly so. Whatever the supplement sellers and cosmetics companies that dominate that industry have to say about the capabilities of their products is essentially nonsense, and this play-acting is accepted by the public as just another part of the backdrop of everyday life. Scientific studies are cherry-picked, and outright lies are told. Whatever works and can pass muster to move products from shelves.
It used to be the case that we could draw a bright line between what worked what didn't work when it came to interventions ta...
