“People drop their meditation practice mostly because they can’t fit it into a crowded day. I propose that your mind wants to be in a meditative state naturally, and you can access it anytime you wish. No special time needs to be set aside. You simply notice when you are distracted, upset, or stressed, and in less than a minute you can return to a calm, centered state once more.

I cannot stress the importance of having a healthy gut more; as I said earlier, research is showing us just how much these various gut problems can affect your health. In fact, studies have linked poor gut health to a multitude of conditions1, including: Even certain over-the-counter medications such as NSAIDs like ibuprofen can affect your gut health.

So I called Dr. Steven Gundry, author of The Plant Paradox and driving force behind the anti-lectin movement, who spoke with clarity about lectins and their role in our health. Here’s what he said. “If you want to incite heart disease in a Rhesus monkey model—our cousins—you give them peanut oil. The peanut lectin produces heart disease. If you take the peanut lectin out of peanut oil, they will not get heart disease....

Your particular spiritual guidance squad, the team of spirit guides assigned to you, could include any or all of the following: Spirit animals could show up for the first time in a dream, in your backyard, or on your co-worker’s coffee mug. My guides have told me that all ascended masters are partners and work together in harmony, no matter what culture or religion they were part of when they were alive....

That said, many people still struggle to bolster their metabolic health. Between the standard American diet and sedentary lifestyles becoming more and more prevalent (hello, desk jobs!), most of the U.S. population isn’t metabolically healthy—a whopping 88%, to be exact. Additionally, only 6.8% of Americans1 have optimal cardiometabolic health, according to a 2022 study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Among the cardiometabolic health components analyzed, prevalence of excess adiposity (i....

Take a few slow, deep breaths, then close your eyes. Now, imagine waking up and rolling over and seeing your ideal partner lying next to you, fast asleep. Take a moment and really picture what they look like: What color is their hair? What do they look like when they’re sleeping? Can you hear their breathing? Let your imagination run wild.
