Cannabinoids Show Early Promise Against Ovarian Cancer Spread 🌱🧬

Laboratory research suggests that cannabinoids such as CBD and THC may help limit how ovarian cancer cells grow and spread. In these studies, the compounds disrupted cancer cell colony formation—a key process involved in tumor expansion and metastasis.

Ovarian cancer is among the most aggressive and deadly cancers, making any evidence of slowed cellular behavior especially meaningful. Rather than acting as a cure, cannabinoids appeared to influence how cancer cells organise, survive, and multiply, pointing to their potential as supportive compounds in ongoing cancer research.

It’s important to note that this research is still early-stage and laboratory-based. These findings do not mean cannabis can treat or cure cancer, but they do highlight the growing scientific interest in cannabis-derived compounds and their possible role in future therapeutic strategies.

Breathwork may open doors once thought exclusive to psychedelics.

In controlled research, participants using a circular breathwork technique scored similarly on the MEQ-30 scale (a standard measure of mystical-type experiences) to volunteers given a moderate therapeutic dose of psilocybin.

What’s especially notable is that the effects weren’t fleeting. One week later, active breathers still showed measurable improvements in mood and overall wellbeing. As seen in psychedelic research, deeper altered states were linked to stronger and longer-lasting benefits.

Shifts in carbon dioxide levels appeared to play a role, highlighting a powerful connection between breathing, body chemistry, and consciousness.

Could breathwork become a meaningful, non-drug pathway for mental health and personal growth?

A 1,000-year-old medieval remedy is challenging modern assumptions about medicine.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham recreated Bald’s Eye Salve, an Anglo-Saxon treatment described in medieval medical manuscripts. Following the original instructions precisely, they combined onion, garlic, wine, and bile salts and tested the mixture in laboratory settings.

The results were striking: the remedy killed up to 90% of antibiotic-resistant MRSA, including bacteria growing in biofilms — a form that often resists modern antibiotics. Researchers found the effect came from the synergy between ingredients, not any single component on its own.

As antibiotic resistance continues to rise worldwide, these findings suggest ancient medicine may still hold valuable insights for modern treatment development.

Sometimes innovation isn’t about creating something new — but rediscovering what humanity once understood.

Nearly 20% of young adults are using cannabis to sleep 🌙

Research from the United States suggests that around 1 in 5 young adults report using cannabis specifically to help with sleep. While this data is US-based, it reflects wider patterns also seen in the UK, where sleep and relaxation are among the most commonly cited reasons for cannabis use.

Some people report that cannabis helps them fall asleep faster or feel calmer before bed. However, research also highlights potential trade-offs with regular use, including tolerance, changes to REM sleep and dreaming, and reduced sleep quality for some over time.

As with any sleep or wellness aid, responses vary widely. Understanding both the potential benefits and limitations allows for more informed, mindful choices.

We live in the age of constant connection — and constant distraction.

Smartphones put the world in our hands. They educate us, connect us, navigate us, and now even support our thinking through tools like AI. Used well, technology is powerful.

But there’s a cost to unlimited access.
Recent research suggests the average person now spends over 4.5 hours a day on their smartphone and checks it around 50–60 times daily — often without realising how frequently they reach for it.

Studies continue to link excessive phone use with reduced attention span, increased stress, disrupted sleep, and a persistent sense of mental noise. What’s most striking? Most of us still underestimate how much time we actually spend on our devices.

The issue isn’t technology itself — it’s unconscious use.

Phones aren’t going anywhere. Neither is AI. The opportunity lies in learning how to use them intentionally: • setting boundaries • creating phone-free moments • using tech as a tool, not a crutch • choosing presence over compulsion

Balance doesn’t mean disconnecting from the world — it means staying connected without losing yourself in the process.

Awareness is the first step.

A meaningful step forward for nature 🌿

In 2024, Belize, Mexico, and Guatemala agreed to jointly protect the Maya Forest through a cross-border conservation initiative often referred to as the Great Maya Forest. Spanning millions of hectares, it is one of the largest remaining tropical forest regions in the Americas.

Since the agreement, cooperation has focused on strengthening existing protected areas, supporting Indigenous stewardship, and reducing deforestation and illegal activity. Alongside Colombia’s recent Amazon protections, this reflects a growing regional shift toward prioritising long-term planetary health over short-term extraction.

Forests like the Maya and the Amazon are critical carbon sinks and biodiversity strongholds — protecting them matters both locally and globally. The move has been widely welcomed by conservation groups as a necessary example of regional action for climate and biodiversity.

Progress worth recognising. Protection worth sustaining.

Mullein Leaf Tea & Respiratory Support 🌿 
Used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine, mullein leaf is known for its gentle support of lung and airway health.
 Its natural expectorant properties may help loosen and thin mucus, while its soothing compounds support irritated throat and airway tissues. Over time, this can assist the body’s own process of clearing excess phlegm and trapped environmental pollutants.
 Not a treatment — but a traditional plant ally that supports what the body is already working to do.

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) 🌿 
RSO is a full-spectrum cannabis extract named after Rick Simpson. It’s made by extracting cannabinoids from the whole cannabis plant using a solvent, then slowly evaporating it to create a thick, dark oil that’s especially high in THC.

As a medicine, RSO delivers a highly concentrated dose of cannabinoids that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in pain, sleep, appetite, inflammation, and immune balance.

RSO is most widely known for its claimed benefits in cancer care. While there is limited clinical research and it is not an approved cancer treatment, many individuals have shared anecdotal reports of using RSO alongside conventional care for symptom relief (such as pain, nausea, appetite loss) and, in some cases, believing it supported their healing journey. Research into cannabinoids and cancer is ongoing.

RSO is extremely potent, typically used in very small amounts, and legality and medical guidance vary by location.

Mushrooms are stepping out of the kitchen and into the neuroscience spotlight 🍄🧠

Beyond basic nutrition, researchers have discovered that functional mushrooms like Lion’s Mane contain unique compounds—hericenones and erinacines—that can cross the blood-brain barrier and support Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a key molecule involved in neuron maintenance and plasticity.

Why does that matter?

NGF plays a role in protecting neurons, supporting myelin health, and maintaining cognitive function as we age—areas closely linked to memory, focus, and learning.

Other mushrooms, such as Reishi, are being studied for their ability to influence the gut-brain connection. By supporting a healthier gut microbiome and helping regulate inflammation, they may indirectly contribute to mental clarity, emotional balance, and stress resilience. Since the gut and brain constantly communicate through the vagus nerve, what supports one often benefits the other.

We’re entering an era where mushrooms are explored not as magic cures, but as targeted, evidence-based tools for long-term brain support. From managing stress-related cognitive fatigue to supporting healthy aging, the fungal kingdom is revealing a surprisingly sophisticated biological language—one science is only beginning to translate.

Would you add a daily brain-supporting mushroom supplement if evidence showed it could help protect your cognitive health over time?
