LISTEN TO YOUR GUT

Hearing your Teddy Bear Belly through the Mind-field of Dietary Doctrines When my stomach is most happy it reminds me of a TEDDY BEAR BELLY. Lovely and round. Hanging out in a relaxed manner. Empty pockets between the stuffing, allowing for intuition and guidance to appear. But with the overload of DOGMATIC FOOD ADVICE, we […]

THE BEST CONDITIONS FOR HEALING

The body has a natural ability to heal itself under the right conditions. Unfortunately much of daily life creates terrible conditions for restoration. Stress and a lack of downtime make it difficult for the body to feel safe to unwind. So what are the right conditions for healing and how do we achieve them? I […]

Constipation Nation

If whole governments are constipated (Actor, Sam Neil’s take on the marriage equality issue), then we could have a whole nation in trouble. A bunch of people are defined as “constipated” when measuring up against the criteria of Infrequent Bowel Movements, Straining, & Incomplete Evacuation. Babies in good health generally poop after every meal. This […]
