Here’s one easy

Reshape your thoughts about breakfast

Big Food would have you think about lots of fake colors, cereals, highly processed diary, and sugary crap

But your body is in need of

Quality fiber - Not the fake stuff, but good raw fibers from fruits and vegetables

Protein - Animal sources, for the win

No “ingredient” lists - Just, food

Hydration

No added sugars, dyes, and other junk that just shouldn’t mark the star of your day

I’m not saying balance can’t happen, I’m telling you a big underrated secret on how to feel better during your days more consistently

It’s how you START your day with hydration and fueling

….and movement ;)

Nothing like a bathroom remodel to find all the little nooks and crannies mold can hide 🤮

Remember, the outright amount of mold found doesn’t exactly matter ->

A “little bit” of mold can release a lot a bit of mycotoxins - and those are the real health concern!

Where there’s mold, there’s mycotoxins and mycotoxins can cause symptoms that range from mild allergy-like symptoms, to insomnia, and from autoimmune disease risk to cancer changes

Here’s a few things you can do to control and clean bathroom mold:

👌 Using a Brillo pad or similar structure with firm bristles to physical scrub the mold growth off with hot water and a bit of soap

👌 Wiping the remains with 12% hydrogen peroxide (12% or greater!)

👌 Running the dehumidifier nearby in warmer, more moisture dense months or regions (in the Carolinas, I only run mine mid spring through early fall)

👌 Consider replacing the old, leaky (sneaky but leaky!) toilet

❌ Not using bleach or other over the counter “mold cleaners” that either do nothing or make the problem worse

❌ Don’t always assume you can simply clean it and be good! If there’s a moisture source on wood or anything porous, the issue may be entirely out of sight (thus not something you can clean). Hiring a company to come test and remove may be your best option!

This is concerning

Erasing our unique appearances for cookie cutter beauty standards that most can even afford

And for those who don’t look more aligned to these standards that are not so subtly thrown in our faces?

Self-doubt and insecurity, a wanting for unrealistic appearances

perfect teeth, contouring, the list goes on

It’s sad….

It truly saddens me

I’ve always been pretty self-confident, but this had me really inspecting that generated face and thinking “man, that is super pretty - what can I do to achieve something closer to that?”

HARD STOP

Yuck. No, no no.

If I wanted to change anything about my appearances, I certainly wouldn’t want to do so because AI not so subtly bullied me into thinking that simply altering my eyebrows should transform my whole face into Hollywood Barbie

Guard your hearts ❤️

Teachers your young ones ❤️

This is only going to get worse.

The erasure of human uniqueness for these unrealistic “beauty” standards is part of a well carved out plan to keep you distracted and wanting, buying and crying, self-obsessed and centered, insecure and impressionable

After all, a society busy on themselves isn’t looking as much at the issues at large

It could be or any related subtopic of hypermobility

*Comment DNA for detailed info* Keep reading:

This can be tested for genetically - For example:

•Collage cross linking genes like COL12A1

•Muscle fiber genes like ACTN3

•Many various metalloproteinases enzyme genes

•Vascular connective tissues with as VEGF and BDNF or NOS3

•Histamine genes like HNMT and DAO

•Plus dozens more!

When I’m evaluating a “highly sensitive individual” these are things to look at!

WHY ME?! Well, the answer may lie in your genes 🧬
