A 2024 scientific paper called the “The Fructose Survival Hypothesis as a Mechanism for Unifying the Various Obesity Hypotheses” essentially states that a survival switch is activated by the ingestion of fructose - a type of sugar found in fruit, honey and some vegetables.

This switch is one that impacts mitochondrial function by resetting ATP production (our energy molecule) to a lower level thereby inducing a lower energy, higher hunger, fat storing state.

Fructose is most abundant in our environment in Autumn - if we are eating seasonally. It is also the time where the higher UVB wavelengths of light are starting to wane or disappear altogether depending on our latitude.

The switch to go into an energy conserving, fat-storing, higher hunger state makes a lot of sense when we understand that after autumn comes winter - a time of food scarcity and decreased survivability. Ancestrally, speaking of course.

This system would work beautifully if we lived in complete alignment with the seasons, saturating our cells with the light available from both the sun and our food sources that would be grown in our immediate enviroment.

But we don’t live this way anymore. The issue is our lifestyles have changed but our physiology has not.

What to do?
A deeper understanding of circadian biology, seasonal living and context are key. I will be discussing this and more at my upcoming seminar Eat For Autumn.

Beautiful, radiant skin is more about your total hea!th than what is being applied topically with some counter-intuitive bonuses 😉
Keeping inflammation low and energy up via mitochondrial optimisation, EZ water expansion, and electron gathering is going to ensure nutrients get where they need to go and our body’s systems are working the way they should!

Everything else is either helping or hindering this process.
Here are some tips on what help can help.

Photobiomodulation or red light therapy has multiple studies showing it’s anti-inflammatory properties and positive regenerative effects on the whole body including skin and hair. You can get a fancy panel or get outside at sunrise and sunset for a red light beauty bath. Bonus? The soothing properties of sunrise prep the skin for UV later in the day.

Our skin is layers of lipids. Good fats found in animal and seafoods make juicy lipid layers and happy permeable cell membranes. Avoid seed oils like the plague.

Autophagy is our own self-repair mechanism. Make sure you are pulling these levers via sun exposure (infrared) complete darkness at night (melatonin) and periods of ketosis and fasting.

Tissues need good blood and lymph flow and we can help this process via facial massage. This will decrease stagnation/puffiness, & dysfunction and bring nutrients in and toxins out.

Always take breaks from using anything on your skin (when it’s balanced you won’t need to) but when you do make sure you know what you are using! Again healthy fats like tallow, emu oil, jojoba, coconut alongside soothing herbs will help bring in moisture and balance leaving nothing behind but a healthy glow.

Think of your mitochondria as cohabiting creatures who live within us and do an important task - turn us into a living, liquid battery.
Without them, we would not have power, we would not have life.

When they don't work well because they are too old, damaged or are receiving poor, mixed or misaligned signals, then we get dis-ease. Boiled down, it’s really that simple.

We get less coherence, more chaos. Less energy, more inflammation. Less order, more mess.

Think of them as sensors - they constantly take inputs from all around us in the form of light and not just the light we see with our eyes as that is less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are taking cues on the level of quantum and biophysics via all frequencies from all inputs via our eyes, skin, food, and the frequencies of everything around us.

They "read" these signals and perform functions (some of which we are only beginning to understand and others I'm certain we've not yet discovered). These are the functions that power us into a state of hea!th.... or not.

They are evolutionarily tuned to the ancient rhythms of the natural world. They know these signals and 'read' them efficiently turning this frequency symphony to the beautiful song of your vibrant, living body.

In our modern world we forsake these laws, behaving like it's summer in winter, living indoors under artificial light, eating foods and food-like products imported from around the world addicted and disconnected. Our mito can't make order, can't power our biological battery and we start running like an old car with a dirty engine or a cell phone at 40% capacity.

Clean up the signals & clean up the mess.

What’s the best part of all ???

The signals come from our environment so we have the ability to shape them via our everyday choices.

Even better?
The solutions are mostly free.

When I get still I hear...

all of life is a cycle, an iteration like your favourite song on repeat taking you on a journey and back again,
press play again
beginning to end and relive the stories within.

We begin...
to see the patterns unfurling everywhere while life births, blooms, withers and returns to be recycled into building blocks where life will start anew.

Could it be you?

Day into night into day again,
Spring into the symphony of summer layering stories rich with sensations and memories, like your favourite song on repeat.
Winter with its deep retreat into that which we call death only to lay a new foundation for life to Spring again... and again.

Could it be us?

Restart.
Can you feel it in your heart?
The whisper that says watch the spin ~
of the day into the night,
of the seasons and the light,
of the Earth, double brimming round the sun in joyous whirl which double rings around the black hole that hugs us tight in its orbit.

Absorb it.
The knowledge is there for you to see.
If everything from the cicada to Saturn exists in a repeating pattern,
then do we?

Perhaps the pyramids were laid by a future us living in another iteration,
wise nation,
divine breadcrumbs lain like landmarks on a monopoly board,
playing to a different chord.

How far are you willing to see?
Rebirth me.

Humanity too, we will squeeze you through another iteration,
the collective is but a congregation of heart and mind creating -
manifestation ~
of that which we believe.

So my dear don't fret,
Sit still with a flower you met blossoming on a childhood tree,
the lilac in it's fragrant glory,
time stamping warm summer memory year after year.
Death does not appear.

Press play.
It's you.
repeating anew,
day into night into day.
Let your heart have a say and be mindful of the patterns you choose to repeat.
Complete.
Anew.

I recently clocked 45 spins around the Sun 💫☀️

Appreciation for everyone who sent wishes near and far, strangers and loved ones. I am always blown away. Thank you.
It has become tradition for me to impart some thoughts, musings, streams of consciousness that arise during this time so here goes. Take what lands and leave the rest but be warned, the deeper I move into my 4th decade, the less restraint I take with me. Living a life in full expression seems to take hold of me more and more deeply as I move through the initiation of perimenopause and shed the last remnants of my inner maiden.

You have a chronological age that is determined by your hops across the days of the calendar year, and a biological age determined by how well your body is able to self-repair and make energy over inflammation. You can be 45 chronological years but cellularly still only be 29. Equally, you could be 45 years old, but cellularly be 61. The physical manifestation of this is dis~ease processes in body.

It is being closely studied and measured at the top.

This is not about the perverted western cultural obsession with youthfulness - at least not to me. This is about being able to move through the phases, stages and passages of life without breaking down, dropping to bits and gaining multiple diagnoses that are almost lauded as badges of honour these days.
This is not our natural state and never has been but it is currently being normalised.

Hea!th is our natural state and the body is self-hea!ing.
This has always been the way.

The issue is we now live and are moving more and more away from living in alignment with our natural design where the levers of self-repair are continuously pulled. We are literally made to grow new bodies over and over, year after year, repairing and making anew.

We are now at a crossroads and we have an opportunity ~
to learn and apply and teach our families the knowledge that is being studied at the top;
or
To continue on the trajectory we are currently on, which is one that makes us weaker, sicker, less intelligent and much more dependant on the constructs that are largely perpetuating this trajectory.

If we learn the knowledge and apply it at the level we can now apply it, in conjunction with the advancing technology, human potential could reach new bounds never before seen. For good.

If we continue on the trajectory we are now on, divorced from natural cycles, addicted and distracted by that which we call food that is not food, light that we see that is not light we are adapted to, living inside in climate controlled environments, soft, sugared up, switched off from our own connection and plugged into a connection that is not ours sharing a narrative that creates a desired outcome... well, then we may eventually witness our own demise.

As I said, it is an opportunity.

It is my hope, my prayer and my life's work that we may all see the potential that is us. Humanity as a collective. To be freed from the greed that keeps us trapped and in disbelief that another way is possible.

Practically, to begin believing and seeing start by trusting your own brain enough to read some peer-reviewed articles on PubMed. Most of what I share is hidden in plain sight. You can also begin to apply some of the knowledge I share, mostly for free here and the other places I play, and note how you feel. Consistency is important.

I dove deeper into this knowledge at 41 because I was beginning to experience that which we call the "normal" signs of ageing ~ weightgain, sore joints, migraines, brain fog and more. It scared me. Thankfully I'm a seeker and can be obsessively focused on learning something when I want to understand it.

These last four years I have reversed all of those symptoms and more. Not only have they reversed but I have positively accelerated my energy, understanding, intelligence, knowledge base, fitness, and literally grown a new body and supported my family and clients to do the same. I'll put some photos in the comments for you to peruse.

I don't share this to say 'look at me, I'm so good.' I share this in hopes it inspires you to grasp onto even a tiny fragment of belief that what I say is true and possible for you and your families.

Because it is 💗
