Fun rant about Cali folks moving to Texas. Take it with a grain of salt.

An eye opening discussion with PhD. student Nick Castillo covering a study that was recently published by FIU and Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (BTT). The study has discovered pharmaceutical contaminants in the blood and other tissues of bonefish in Biscayne Bay and the Florida Keys. The study highlights an average of 7 pharmaceutical contaminants, per Bone Fish! Most people are aware of plastics and other chemical contaminants, but the work done by this science team opens the door to other factors that need to be addressed and the team does have a solution.

I used to believe that anxiety & depression was all fake. I thought it was something that people made up to get out of things or because they wanted a certain amount of attention. After struggling with anxiety for a couple of years, I realized that I wasn't educated on the impacts that anxiety can have on someones life. Anxiety is real, and the mind if a powerful tool that can work against you, or you can use to to work in your favor. In this podcast I talk about how my health anxiety manifested into muscle twitches. I also talk about the things I do to manage it my health anxiety.

I turn into a 5 year old kid at night when it comes to sweet eats. Sometimes I feel like I have no self-control during the mid-night hours. Do you struggle with something similar?

I’ve found that eating fruit with honey after dinner helps curb the cravings. Placing sticky notes around the kitchen also helps. I’m curious as to what has helped you?
