Safe travels, and I’ll see you next time 

Today I'm debriefing on the end of February, a magical hit and run and the police update, and then we're revisiting the facts about Anti-Nutrients . . . because I'm seeing an uptick of videos trying to scare people . . . 

Are plants trying to kill us?

Like anything nutrition, there are two sides to every story, and there is a ton of room for nuance. 

So today, 'm diving into it in a little more detail, and more categories when it comes to this concept. Just like there are nutrients in plants, there are also these ANTI-nutrients that can prevent us from getting the goods out of what we eat. But, there are many ways around them, and we're getting into it today. 

We're covering:

• What antinutrients are
• 4 common antinutrients, and how to reduce them
• todays feelgood thing
• things to consider when it comes to antinutrients as a concept 

If there’s one thing a lot of us are dealing with right now, it’s anxiety—and with so many tips and hacks out there, it’s hard to know where to start. But today, we’re exploring a simple concept that might take the air out of anxiety’s hold on you.

Because here’s the thing: an anxious brain is a full brain. When you’ve thought, worried, and overanalyzed so much that your mind feels like it’s at capacity, even the smallest thing—an email, a to-do, a spilled coffee—can send you into overwhelm. 

So if you’ve ever felt stuck, scattered, or unable to think clearly, this episode is for you.

We’re Covering:

• How anxiety fills your brain and keeps you frozen in place
• Why clarity and anxiety don’t mix—and what actually creates clarity
• The surprising antidote to an overwhelmed mind (hint: it’s not more thinking)
• Why time isn’t always the most precious resource—space is
• Practical ways to create more mental and physical space daily
