Eating lots of flax, which is a rich source of omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), may still not be enough to convert in adequate amounts to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the forms our bodies most readily use.
Why is this important? Continue reading “Why Eating Lots of Flax May Not Meet Your Omega-3 Needs”
I love chocolate. If I had to live on one flavour forever, I feel like I’d be perfectly content choosing chocolate.

“I AM THE STORM.”
It’s so easy to get washed away within a vortex of doubt, anxiety, self-sabotage, worry that things just aren’t good enough. Looks, health, career, relationships – anything that feels like it’s bearing down on you, maybe even tearing you apart.

Get your goal planner out. Write it down. Block out distractions and detractors. Show up even when you think you’re not feeling it. Strike one task down out of your path at a time, then bring on the next.
When you feel burnt out under your own fire take breaks without apology. Hydrate and get back to real food. Get some love from your friends, your partner, your pets. Stretch. Breathe. REVISE. Write some more.
Then get back on it.
You’ve got this.

Later, pioneer camping Continue reading “What I’ve Learned Camping on Plants”
