In the past month three friends have been diagnosed with intestinal blockages requiring surgery. Three people, similar age group, all of them dealing with a colon that has simply stopped working the way it was designed to work. I am perplexed. Why is this happening?
The research on colorectal health and the modern food supply in America is so clear and so consistent that it is impossible to look at what is happening to my friends and not connect it directly to what we have been eating.
There is a muscle deep inside your body that most people have never heard of and almost everyone has tightened without knowing it. It is called the psoas, pronounced so-az, and once you understand what it does, where it lives and why it matters so profoundly to everything from your posture and back pain to your emotional wellbeing, you will never stop thinking about it.
Sometimes anxiety arrives without warning, not in response to something specific, nor a genuine threat, but the free-floating kind that descends in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday, in a meeting, at a dinner table or whilst standing in the supermarket and fills your body with a quality of dread that has no clear address.

We are living in the golden age of protein powders and collagen supplements. Every wellness influencer has a tub of something vanilla or chocolate flavored on their counter, sweetened with stevia or monk fruit….UGGGG.
You all know that I am not a smoothie person. I do not want to drink dessert at noon. I want something that tastes like food.
What I make instead is a warm, deeply savory, extraordinarily nutrient-dense cup of powders that breaks my overnight fast and gives my body everything it needs to carry me through the afternoon with genuine energy and not a single craving in sight.
