Ashwagandha is one of the most important ancient herbs. It has been used to relieve mild stress, maintain energy levels, and

Fat gets a bad rap in the world of nutrition. Somewhere along the line society decided fat is bad—and by extension, that fatty foods are bad. For instance, when you read the term “short-chain fatty acids,” your knee-jerk reaction is probably something negative. But as any nutritionist worth their salt can tell you, this isn’t

And the same is true of summer, though its effects

The irony is that it’s kind of stressful to find answers about stress. There’s so much conflicting information out there.

Skincare is often approached from an aesthetic standpoint. After all, most people want to feel good about the way they look. And healthy-looking skin is a great place to start.
