This is it, friends! 2026 is the year that we all finally start getting enough sleep to truly thrive. That means treating ourselves to 8 hours (minimum) of deep, uninterrupted, dream-filled snoozing. It’s not impossible, we promise! In fact, if you’ve been paying attention, then you know we’ve already shared the low-down on sleeping like […]
Magnesium supplements have been trending for some time now — and for good reason. This simple mineral is critical for a lot (like over 300) of complicated processes in the body! As long as you’re getting the right form of magnesium in your supplements, you can expect to experience benefits in your sleep and relaxation. […]
Wait — May isn’t over quite yet! June is looming on the horizon and with it the promise of vacations and vitamin D boosts, but we’re still firmly in Women’s Health Month for another few days. While we’d need the whole year, at least, to really do the topic justice, we’re going to use the […]
We firmly believe that men and women are equal in every arena. But is equal always a synonym for exactly the same? No, it’s not! There are many key differences between men and women, especially when we venture into the realm of health and wellness. One example that’s particularly pertinent during Bone Health Month: Modern […]
Gender and wellness can be pretty divisive topics. But you should know by now that we’re not ones to shy away from controversy, especially not during Women’s Health Month! Our whole jam is breaking down complicated topics accurately, equitably, and with your best interests in mind. And when it comes to being in the world, […]
It’s May! Which means it’s officially Women’s Health Month and we know the question on everyone’s minds. That is: How can we encapsulate such a complex and complicated topic as women’s health into one short, albeit gloriously warm, month? It gets even more intricate when we consider the fact that medical science is constantly evolving, […]
The last time we came on this blog to shake up the conversation around stress and stress management, we made a grievous error. In our rush to share holistic strategies for dealing with the stress of the modern world, we made a blanket statement about March being the most depressing month of the year. That […]
March has become something of an unofficial Mental Health Month around these parts — have you noticed? We’re well aware of the fact that May is supposed to be the month when we all spend some time thinking about mental illness and mental health difficulties, but let’s be real. May has wildflowers and sunshine, gentle […]
Did you miss the brain buzz of last week? We, in our typical, rebellious Woodstockian fashion, debunked some pretty controversial and deeply coveted myths about mental health. To the tune of: No, it’s not all in your head; yes, our culture contributes to mental health issues. Oh, and, your physical health is inextricably linked to […]
There’s not much we Americans agree on these days. Not politics, not healthcare, not even which sportball team is objectively the best. But if there’s one thing that seems to unite us all, besides our adoration of Dolly Parton, it’s mental health issues. The American mental health crisis has been at the forefront of wellness conversations […]
It wouldn’t be 7:30AM on a random Wednesday in February if we didn’t wake up with racing thoughts about traffic, work, sustenance, chores, past situations, family patterns, future anxieties, and everything in between, now would it? An overly prolix sentiment, sure, but we stand by the fact that most of us contemporary humans suffer from […]
Valentine’s 2024 has come and gone, folks! While we hope your heart didn’t take too much of a beating, we’re willing to bet it’s feeling a little blue. After all, how can this regular old Wednesday live up to the holiday hullabaloo? Whether you spent it lavishing a lover or saving face in your mom’s […]
If ever there was a day for indulging in sweets so sugary they’d stop your heart, it’s today. Another Valentine’s celebration is upon us, friends! Whether you’re cursing Cupid or cozied up with a companion, what we have for you here is just what the love doctor ordered. That is, a blog on why you […]
Living with a chronic illness can be a real pain in the neck — literally and metaphorically. Especially when the hallmarks of your long-term condition are literal, physical (and emotional!) pain, as is the case with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). So while we’d normally put a silly meme here, 2026’s Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Day is no […]
Is it just us, or is 2024 already flying by? New Year’s passed in a blink, and now looming on the horizon is Hallmark’s most profitable holiday of the year… Valentine’s Day. So there seems to be no better moment to discuss the health of another enigmatic ideal that ticks away relentlessly, just like time. […]
It’s always new you this and new you that! These days, it seems like no one wants to admit that, for many, all January 3rd means is it’s the third day of the NYE hangover. While we hope you’re not one of the unfortunate ones still nursing the aches and battling the fatigue of a […]
Well, folks, we made it through the candy holiday and the pie holiday in one piece! Last up on the 2023 docket is the candy, pie, and cookies holiday we like to call Christmas. Is it any wonder digestive supplements and detox teas fly off the shelves during this festive time of year? From enzymes […]
If you’re even mildly interested in health — and not living under a rock — then there’s a good chance you’ve already heard the phrase gut-brain connection. It’s become a bit of a buzzword in the wellness spheres and beyond, wielded to justify everything from straight apple cider vinegar shots to intermittent fasting. Especially this time […]
If ever there were a poster child for bad eating habits, it would be the modern American. We take our plastic-wrapped foods to-go, swallowing quick eats while driving to work without so much as a third chew. Is it any wonder that the vast majority of us here in the land of the free report […]
We talk a lot about the importance of a varied, nutrient-dense diet here in this corner of the holistic wellness world. But if we’re being totally honest — and we always are — comfort food will forever have a pizza of our hearts. It’s butter we acknowledge it now and taco about it rather than […]
Picture this: It’s 2AM, you’re exhausted, and every time you start to slip off to sleep, that little tickle in your throat drags you back into the waking world just in time to…COUGH! That’s right, friends, cold and flu season is officially underway. With the drop in temperatures comes a drop in immune system functioning […]
“Seasonal allergies” is a bit of a misnomer, isn’t it? Real sinus sufferers know that the battle against sniffles, sneezes, and wheezes is actually a year-round endeavor. But here’s the good news: If you’re sick of having a head full of bricks, a natural approach could be your key to fast-acting, long-term healing from sinus […]
Trying to avoid your medical practitioner? Don’t bother with apples, it’s 30 minutes a day that keeps the doctor away! That’s right friends — today, we’re talking about the golden rule of holistic exercise. While half an hour of movement per day might not keep the doctor away forever, it will help keep your bod […]
We live in a world that moves at a breakneck pace, with mind-boggling information and mind-numbing entertainment only milliseconds away at any given moment. (And now, the planet is actually, literally spinning faster to boot. Isn’t that fun?) How do we slow down? How do we turn it off? Well, most of us can’t. In […]
Let’s cut to the chase: We’re all on a mission to level up our health game. And in our quest for genuine, long-term wellness, dietary supplements have become reliable companions — filling in those pesky nutritional gaps, boosting our vitality, and letting us live pretty cool lives. But misinformation and marketing tactics reign supreme in […]
Summer is nearly upon us, but for sufferers of sinus issues, it might as well be allergy season year-round. Congestion, pressure, pain, swelling, inflammation… For a lot of us, these icky, irritating symptoms are just a regular part of life. Our options are: But does it have to be like this? Are we doomed to […]
June is Men’s Health Month, which means that gents, it’s your time to shine! And shine you will, with a new firm grasp on strategic supplementation — freed from skeevy sales tactics and pigeonholed multivitamins that aren’t worth the convenience. Men’s health is about more than chugging down supplements or hopping on the latest fad […]
National Bone Health Month is behind us, but don’t fret — when the clock strikes June, National Men’s Health Month begins!

Well folks, May is almost over, and with it, Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month. But don’t you worry, because around here, bone health is always in season. Why? Your skeleton is your foundation, your support system, and your bodyguard. It might not get as much hype as your immune system or heart health, but your […]
May might be at its end, but National Bone Health and Osteoporosis Month is still going strong, folks! And for good reason: Without our bones, we’d be nothing more than blobs on the ground. While blob life might be appealing in concept, it’s not a realistic goal for modern humans. Instead, we’re cemented to a […]
Are you the kind of supplement nut that has a cabinet overflowing with vitamins, minerals, and herbs? Well then, we’ve got some bad news: Your Vitamin K isn’t worth the space it’s taking up. That’s right, you read that correctly — you don’t actually need a Vitamin K supplement. Does that sound counterintuitive coming from […]
Sinus problems can be a real pain — metaphorically and literally! Don’t get us started on the challenge of finding the right herbal formulas for symptom relief, either. Throw in sinusitis, seasonal allergies, a cat fur attack, or just a stuffy nose, and that challenge becomes a Sisyphean task. That’s why we asked Dr. Neal […]
May is more than just a time for blooming wildflowers and long sunny days, it’s also National Bone Health and Osteoporosis Prevention Month! Is there any better time, then, to shed some light on the trending “sunshine vitamin” that’s also a powerful bone support supplement? We think not! Vitamin D has been making the rounds […]
