While soft green peas may come to mind, this beverage actually requires dried yellow split peas—the same ingredient used to make pea protein powder. There aren’t many brands on the market yet, but Ripple and Bolthouse Farms are two options for anyone looking to purchase pea protein milk. Otherwise, with just a little bit of patience and the right materials, making pea protein milk at home is totally doable (more on that below)....
A ketogenic diet can be an effective way for some to lose weight and improve health1. (Here’s a deep dive into the diet and its benefits.) Here’s what to know about lazy keto’s benefits, limitations, recommended foods, and a sample meal plan. It does, however, require you to track carbohydrates since carbohydrate restriction is the most important component for achieving ketosis. “Lazy keto is simply eating less than 50 grams of carbs per day (total, not net), which most experts agree produces a mild state of ketosis, glycemic control, and weight loss for the majority of people,” says Dominic D’Agostino, Ph....
While it is not yet a widely recognized medical condition, integrative and functional medicine doctors are at the forefront of diagnosis and treatment, while more research is starting to emerge to explain what it is and how to heal it. In a healthy gut, when you digest food, your intestines break it down, allowing tiny healthy nutrients to pass through the walls into the bloodstream. But, “when the permeability of the gut lining has been altered, this allows toxins, bacteria, and foreign substances like undigested food particles to enter the blood stream along with the nutrients,” explains family medicine physician Bindiya Gandhi, M....
Histamine has other roles too, like helping with digestion, wound healing, and nerve signaling in the brain1. Because of this, it’s important to have some, but problems arise when you’re exposed to too much or develop a reaction to normal amounts. A histamine intolerance develops when the amount of histamine that accumulates in your body is greater than the amount of histamine your body can eliminate. Having a histamine intolerance doesn’t mean that you’re allergic or sensitive to histamine; it simply means that there’s too much in your body....
Here’s a quick primer on how this fascinating system works, why it gets messed up, and how to optimize it so you can go through every day feeling energized (and sleep through every night feeling restored). This crucial process is kicked off by the natural light that comes from the sun’s rays that is picked up by the suprachiasmatic nucleus2 (SCN) in your brain. When sunlight comes in through the eyes, the SCN picks up the cue that it’s daylight and time to get up and be active....
“Like any conversation with anyone about a label they may choose to describe their experience, it is best to ask that person what that label means to them and not assume their experience,” recommends therapist Christa McCrorie, LICSW-PIP. It is also worth noting that the way people use bisexual, pansexual, and polysexual can have some overlap. Two people may think very similarly about their sexualities, and yet one may call themselves bi and the other pan....
It’s important to note that recurring dreams are not always identical but rather may have repeating elements or themes, Ellis says. “If this is the case, it’s helpful to pay attention to the subtle changes that do happen, as they are often a good sign,” she notes, adding, “For example, if a traumatic dream begins to weave in current life places and people rather than replay the trauma exactly, it’s a sign that integration of the traumatic experience has begun....
