Lately, there's been something stirring in my soul.   I don't know exactly what it is yet, but I feel like it's going to be BIG – like something new is coming, and I need to go inward and listen for what it is.    Have you ever felt this way? When this happens, I believe it's our soul tugging at us, trying to tell us something about our mission and purpose on the planet.   And I have made it my in...

What if the secret to better sleep, less inflammation and reduced pain was as simple as walking barefoot in the grass?   Both the earth and our bodies have an electrical charge, and "grounding" (or "earthing") refers to the practice of connecting our bodies to the earth – keeping the body's charge at an optimal balance and unlocking tremendous health benefits.   If you think this sounds like somet...

Whether it's eating healthier, getting exercise, starting a meditation practice or staying socially connected, figuring out what to do to be happy might be simple – but actually doing these things and living in a way that lets us experience happiness is much harder.

For too many years, mental health came with a stigma.    It was treated as something "wrong" in the mind, with the psychological and physical looked at entirely separately.    It's almost as if we forgot that the brain is part of the body – a physical organ that needs care just like our heart, our gut or any other part of our body.    And when we support our brain health, it can have BIG impacts o...
