Feeling under the weather? The colder winter months are a great time to maximize your daily dose of vitamin C — and luckily, nature provides us with an abundance of seasonal sources to choose from. 

Try incorporating winter citrus fruits and some of these other produce options into your diet to support your immune system when it needs it the most. Drop this emoji ‘🍊’ in the comments and we’ll send you the link to our full guide to vitamin C food sources!

What’s in season in February?

Eating seasonally isn’t just about fresher food (though that’s a bonus). It’s about building a connection to where you live, supporting local farmers, and reducing your environmental footprint. When you buy what’s in season at your farmers market, you’re choosing food that didn’t travel 1,500 miles to get to you.

February might feel like the depths of winter, but there’s still plenty growing (or stored from fall harvests) in North America right now. Think hearty root vegetables, dark leafy greens, and the last of citrus season.

Why buy seasonal at farmers markets?
You’re supporting small-scale farmers directly (no middleman markup)
Produce is picked at peak ripeness, not weeks early for shipping
You reduce carbon emissions from long-distance transport
You build community—you actually know where your food comes from
Storage crops like winter squash and root veggies are at their sweetest right now

This month, challenge yourself: pick one new-to-you seasonal vegetable at the farmers market and cook with it. Rutabaga? Leeks? Celery root? Make it an adventure.

CDC data revealed that in 2019 alone, salmonella bacteria contributed to 1.3 million illnesses and 238 deaths.

The worst part? We have all the data, and we know exactly which plants are failing — but the USDA doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it.

This isn’t about fear-mongering, it’s about demanding accountability. When major companies fail safety standards for YEARS without consequences, something isn’t working.

POV: you’re fibermaxxing the way nature intended (aka eating what’s actually in season) 🍎

Everyone’s obsessed with fiber supplements and tracking macros, but here’s a wild concept: just eat what’s growing right now.

Spring brings mango, blueberries, broccoli, and corn summer delivers avocado, cherries, peppers, and tomatoes fall gives us apples, garlic, grapes, and potatoes winter rounds it out with sweet potatoes, kale, tangerines, and pears.

The secret to hitting 25-35g of fiber daily? Stop fighting the seasons. Eat what’s fresh, support local farmers, and let your gut microbiome thrive on produce that didn’t travel 2,000 miles to reach you.

Bonus: seasonal eating means better flavor, lower prices, and less environmental impact. Your body was designed to eat this way—fiber supplements could never.

“You become a master of your life when you learn how to control where your attention goes. Value what you give your energy and time to.” 

Where is your attention going? Notice throughout your day: what are you spending time thinking about? Where is your mind wandering? Is that where you want to be spending your energy?

Mason jar salads are the perfect lunch hack—portable, mess-free, and Instagram-worthy. But there’s a technique to getting them right.

The key? Layering order matters. Dressing at the bottom, heavy ingredients in the middle, greens at the top. And the parchment paper trick? Game-changer for preventing leaks.

Mason jar salads last 3-5 days depending on ingredients, making them perfect for Sunday meal prep.

Just shake, pour into a bowl, toss, and enjoy fresh salad all week!

Food waste in landfills doesn’t compost properly—it sits there forever, just like plastic. But here’s the good news: most food waste happens at home, which means you can actually fix it how to reduce food waste and save money:

Shop smart: Meal plan before you shop, make a list, and stick to it. Buy from bulk bins and farmers markets where you can get exactly what you need (2 carrots, not 2 pounds).

Store properly: Check your fridge temp, learn how to store different foods correctly, and create an “eat me first” shelf for things that won’t last long.

Use it all: Freeze bruised fruit for smoothies, save veggie scraps in the freezer for stock, turn leftovers into new meals. Get creative with every last bit.

Compost it: If you can’t eat it, compost it. It’s the most eco-friendly way to handle plant-based scraps and it’s incredible for your garden.

Reducing food waste isn’t just good for the environment—it’s good for your wallet. When you waste less food, you buy less food.

You know those probiotic supplements you started taking a few months ago, when it seemed like every single influencer on your FYP had a referral code?

Well, we're not saying you need to throw them away, but it's possible they're not doing anything for you. At the same time, it's also possible that the influencer who convinced you to buy them really was experiencing dramatic de-bloating and visible results. So what's the catch?

The answer could be in our unique microbiomes. “Basically, two people could be taking the same probiotic, but metabolize their food completely differently depending on their existing microbiome and gut enzymes,” tells us. “This means one probiotic may be hugely beneficial for one person and have exactly zero effects for another person.”

The moral of the story is that one-size-fits-all nutrition does all of us a disservice.

RFK Jr. just flipped America's food pyramid upside down — literally.

The new 2025 dietary guidelines are here, and they’re not exactly reflective of what you learned in health class. Still, some recommendations could be a step in the right direction, while others have experts concerned:

❌ The American Society for Nutrition calls out a lack of transparency in scientific review process
❌ Contradictory guidance on saturated fats
❌ No portion sizes or measurements
