I have a huge favor to ask you. Can you please help spread the word that being sick is just a part of aging ? I’m serious. The idea that we are destined to feel worse over time is keeping so many of us away from our health potential . Now, I’m not saying you need to become superman or superwoman overnight, but I am saying that becoming a lesser version of yourself is NOT just “how life goes.” See...

Okay, admit it, you’re a little obsessed with yourself. You perk up when you hear your name in a conversation or when that buzzfeed quiz promises to tell you which Harry Potter character you are based on how you pick your watermelons.

If you are like me, then you might have started to think of plants as those little bottles neatly arranged on a shelf. My lavender is purple, eucalyptus is green, and frankincense is pink.

That’s why I sat down with ethnob...
