Interesting. I hate cold anyway but this will be my new excuse!

A study published in The Journal of Physiology tracked physically active men over 12 weeks of strength training to compare cold plunges versus active recovery. The goal: to measure how each recovery method affected muscle growth, strength, and cellular adaptations.

Beyond just performance metrics, the study revealed that cold exposure disrupted the body's internal muscle-building machinery. Satellite cells-crucial for muscle repair and growth
—barely activated after cold immersion. The mTOR pathway, a key driver of hypertrophy, was also significantly less active.

This isn't just about short-term recovery-it suggests cold plunges can interfere with the biological signals your body needs to grow muscle.

This research challenges a growing fitness trend. Cold plunges may help with soreness, but if you're chasing long-term gains, they could be doing more harm than good. Recovery should support adaptation, not suppress it.

Night time cravings are terrible without a sweet substitute. Mine is a rice cake with nut butter and honey. 😋

When a crow feels sick… it visits an anthill.

Sounds strange? It’s actually one of nature’s most fascinating healing rituals.

When a crow senses it’s unwell, it will intentionally find an anthill, spread its wings wide, and remain completely still—waiting for the ants to crawl into its feathers.

Why?

Because ants release formic acid—a natural antiseptic that kills bacteria, fungi, and parasites hiding in the bird’s feathers.
This behavior is called “anting”, and it’s been observed not just in crows, but in many bird species.

No medicine.
No vet.
Just pure instinct and nature’s built-in pharmacy.

A brilliant reminder that the natural world is full of intelligent, self-healing systems…
We just need to stop and notice.

Life is messy, joyful, ugly, and beautiful. And through it all you are allowed mistakes and growth and stagnation. All of it is part of the human experience. Enjoy!

Authenticity is the key to truly living. Being someone you’re not divides you and you will constantly feel this. It is a betrayal to your soul.

The fascial system is deeply intertwined with all other parts of the body in much the same way as a spider web. Microscopically, it even looks like a spider web. But, there is one main difference. When a spider web is disturbed in nature, the spider repairs the areas to realign and distribute the tension appropriately. When our fascial becomes disturbed or even damaged, we don't have the same ability to repair. We must utilize bodywork techniques to repair, realign, and distribute the tension.

When someone shows you who they are, don’t believe them. Because who they are can be hidden beneath trauma and poor coping strategies.
