Practical Beautiful Life

Longevity habit #1
Part of my reverse aging protocol is social connectedness. Social connectedness is one tenet of the
Studies show that friendship and social connections provide intellectual stimulation and emotional support through hardships. I have not historically put friendship and connection as a top priority but I can feel the benefits when I connect with people. A sense of belonging is an important part of our health.

Especially if you've faced moments of profound loss and grief.
In 2021, I experienced the devastating loss of my mother to BC, and to say it was a series of unexpected twists of emotion and despair is an understatement.
I was a Hot Mess Express!  
On the evening MY Mom spoke to me for the last time, she said, “I love you” and from her big soft recliner, she gave me a longer than normal hug.
We both knew.
That night I saw Kris’s Instagram post.
It was something her therapist told her, "when the grief car pulls in, it brings all the other cars with it." 
OMG. 
Anger, sadness, and feelings I couldn’t even label would pop up like a bad game of whack-a-mole.
And sometimes, the emotions were related to unexpected and often long-forgotten experiences.

Whatever your take on Covid-19, mask wearing or social distancing, there is science that indicates chances of healing from the virus are better if you are a healthy weight/BMI.

Those in the functional medicine community have always said that gut health and body weight matter.
They are right. And especially in dealing with Covid-19.

A decade prior to my cancer diagnosis, I was fighting something called “skinny fat” which means being a normal body weight but metabolically fat - too little muscle, too much fat. I believe it contributed to what happened for me.

Obesity has been slowly killing too many for too long. Even when obesity doesn’t show, high blood sugar hurts our health.

No one deserves to die from this virus, or any other illness for that matter.
Let’s take Radical Responsibility for our health. Realize that we can make small choices, everyday, that can improve our quality of life and longevity.

I personally have found that ditching the dairy, gluten, sugar, grains, alcohol and industrial animal products, moving, laughing and meditating daily are choices that are making a difference.

I love making delicious and healthy food on the simplest ways possible. Today’s lunch started with the Kale & Arugula salad from as a foundation. Then I added my own salmon salad that I made earlier in the week and topped it with broccoli sprouts. I’d I want a little dressing I top with Tuscan herb infused olive oil and pomegranate balsamic vinegar by .

This salad is a great source of Sulforaphane. It is a natural compound found in many cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale.
Some studies show that sulforaphane in broccoli sprouts have anticancer properties. Good for prevention and treatment in breast cancer! @ Boulder, Colorado
