As UV levels climb, sunscreen is essential.
Some sunscreens contain ingredients that raise concerns for both humans and marine life. That’s why it’s worth taking a closer look at what’s inside. To make it simple, the awesome group from Yuka selected 10 of the best-rated SPF 50 sunscreens. Stay sun-safe, without compromise!

No matter the season or setting, protecting your skin from UV exposure is essential. But with so many options on the shelves, how can you tell which ones are truly safe for you and your kids?

Happy Mother Day!

If you’re looking for something special to make this Mother’s Day, this coconut-tahini carrot cake is one of Dr. Mark Hayman's favorite seasonal desserts. It’s made with almond flour, coconut flour, and tahini, and packed with carotenoid-rich carrots that support vision and immune health. It delivers on flavor without the usual blood sugar spike, and you still get the carrot cake experience, just with better, more nourishing ingredients.

This tasty recipe from Dr. Mark Hyman is low-glycemic, grain-free carrot cake made with almond flour, coconut four, and tahini.

I love this posting from Dr. Elena Villanueva about GRIEF! If you have time listen to the podcast (see link below).
________________________________________________________
When most people think of grief, they think of losing a loved one.
But what if grief is showing up in your life in ways you don’t even recognize? In this week’s TribeTalk episode, Mike sits down with Karin to explore a powerful and often overlooked truth:
Grief isn’t just about death. It can come from losing a relationship, a job, your health, or even a version of yourself. And when it goes unprocessed… it doesn’t just stay emotional. It can begin to affect your body, your nervous system, and your overall health.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjkvlY0EOtQ&feature=youtu.be
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What grief actually is—and why most people misunderstand it
The hidden forms of loss that quietly impact your identity
How unprocessed grief can show up as chronic stress and illness
Why “staying strong” can sometimes keep you stuck
Simple, practical ways to begin processing emotions safely
This conversation is deeply human.
It’s about giving yourself permission to feel…
To understand what’s really happening beneath the surface…
And to begin moving forward in a way that supports true healing.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like something just hasn’t fully resolved—this episode may help you see why.

Sending you love, blessings, abundance, and vitality!
Dr. Elena Villanueva

Dr. Mark Hayman posted:
"Fatty liver disease—now called MASLD—affects roughly 1 in 3 U.S. adults, and it's a condition I see driven almost entirely by the Standard American Diet. The good news is that the liver is remarkably resilient, and what you eat is one of the most powerful levers we have to reverse it. I always encourage patients to crowd their plates with colorful vegetables, low-sugar fruits like berries, fatty fish, and extra virgin olive oil—foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3s that protect liver cells and reduce fat storage. Refined carbs, added sugars, processed meats, and alcohol do the opposite, fueling inflammation and driving fat accumulation in the liver. This is exactly what I mean when I say food is medicine—and this article is a great place to start."

Changes in diet are a critical part of management for fatty liver disease, and eating, or avoiding, certain foods can help in liver health.

April 6th Cancer Support Hybrid Meeting - Please Join us from 6 pm to 7 pm,

In the cancer community—whether facing a diagnosis or supporting others—our minds are often pulled toward fears of the future or memories of the past. Yet the only place where life, clarity, and healing truly unfold is the present moment. Learning to pause, breathe, and fully inhabit right now can ease anxiety, strengthen resilience, and open space for hope. We may not control what lies ahead, but we can influence our inner world through the thoughts, intentions, and grounding practices we choose in this very moment. At our next meeting, we’ll explore how to cultivate this presence and why it matters. We’ve invited Teresa Hodges, Sr Radiation CMA, ACS LION to share a recent experience that beautifully reflects what it means to live with awareness, gratitude, and intention.

Love Dr. Jockers explanation about Vitamin C and how important it is to have a daily dose.
https://drjockers.com/increase-vitamin-c-levels/
Vitamin C is made naturally in almost all living animals except humans, primates, and guinea pigs. Dogs and cats produce their own vitamin C from ingested food that has been metabolized into glucose. This mechanism keeps their vitamin C levels up without consuming food rich in vitamin C.

Humans must consume vitamin C from their food sources, or they risk severe health problems. There is an intimate relationship between glucose and vitamin C that has a dramatic impact on immunity and overall cellular health. In this article, you will discover 5 keys to increasing your vitamin C levels.

Most animals and plants are able to synthesize their own vitamin C. This is done through a biochemical pathway that depends on 4 key enzymes that convert glucose to vitamin C. In mammals, glucose is extracted from stored sugar (glycogen), and the transformation into vitamin C is produced in the liver (1, 2).

Humans are one of the only species on the planet that does not produce its own vitamin C. Discover 5 ways to increase vitamin C levels!

Increasing your protein intake has been a longtime recommendation in the fitness industry. Pros have long known that a higher protein diet not only supports a lean body and lean body mass maintenance, but also improves satiety, increases overall calorie expenditure, supports recovery from exercise, and improves bone density. But having someone increase their protein intake isn’t always as simple as just telling them to do so.

Wonder if you're getting enough protein throughout the day? These seven ideas will help you balance your intake across all of your meals.
