10/21/24:🪰 Royal superfood, brain mapping breakthrough, exclusive footage

Happy Monday my friend,

Last week I gave a speech at a rally outside of Kellogg’s HQ to protest artificial dyes (petroleum-based toxins linked to hyperactivity and ADHD, which are banned in many countries but still added in the US). I edited my speech alongside some exclusive footage I shot while on the front lines of this event. Please comment, like, and share this video so we can keep the pressure on these Big Food companies.

🐟 BE THE CHANGE: Ocean ecology efforts are making waves around the world, according to this promising report. One study found that global actions against overfishing – while protecting coral reefs – accounted for 10% of existing fish populations to be within conservation areas! Every drop of ocean protection work counts. Read more about the countries gathering together to do this work all over the globe, now and in the past.

🥗 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: You’ve never had a salad quite like this: try Top Chef Tom Colicchio’s Fennel, Pear and Radicchio Salad for a fresh take on bitter greens, and unique flavors that elevate them! Colicchio includes his other recipe for Broccoli Pasta right on the same page. These two healthy creations should keep you plenty busy…AND plenty inspired by this James Beard Awarded chef.

🫅 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: What could be the favorite superfood… among royalty? A superfood fit for a King. It’s very popular, and known to protect against cancer, reduce heart disease risk, and so much more. You probably know it: packed with omega 3’s, grows on trees, and tastes delicious on toast! (Millennials love it.) Have a guess? Read to find out.

🪰 MIND: A group of Princeton University scientists just managed to fully map out the brain and neurons of a fruit fly! Why should we care? Humans share over half the same DNA with fruit flies, and starting small gives a peek into how our own minds are structured. This stunning fly brain model (only complex complete model of an animal’s brain!) could help doctors anticipate how Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other neurological disorders impact the human mind, spread through the brain, and how they can be healed.

👟 BODY: Why run, when you can walk for fitness? Well… there’s a catch. Many abandon the morning jog for a simple hike (or several!) during the week, and stay just as fit. While walking and hiking can be just as healthy as running, read about what else you should be doing on those walks to reap the most benefit.

🧘 SPIRIT: Author and Interfaith Minister Jackie Bailey shares her take on modern spirituality: how to avoid commodified “spiritual” products, find the “real thing,” and use it to bridge connections: with oneself, community, loved ones and the planet. It’s a brief yet refreshing read that shows us how truly spiritual the world is becoming—both within major religions, and without!

Seeing Red 🚨

There are now thousands of studies demonstrating the healing benefits of Red light therapy (RLT). RLT is a safe and effective treatment that has been clinically proven to be beneficial for a variety of conditions, including:

• Skin health

• Hair loss

• Pain

• Inflammation

• Wound healing

• Mood

• Cognition

• Athletic performance

RLT is a non-invasive treatment with no side effects, and can be used in conjunction with other treatments. It’s reliably safe, but talk to your doctor if you have underlying medical conditions, take medications, or if pregnant or have lupus.

☀️ A large portion of sunset and sunrise light is in the red to near-infrared therapeutic range, and totally free! If you’re not viewing sunrise and sunset almost every day…

…RLT is available in a variety of forms, including in-office treatments, home devices, and face masks – most convenient way to get the benefits.

Most devices or masks require just 10-20 minutes per day, a few times per week!

Relaxing, simple sessions can support almost immediate relief from pain, or workout recovery…and more longterm benefits to skin, hair, mood and brain health.

Bon Charge is a well trusted and tested company with RLT options for every scale…from small units, to full body coverage, and even the coveted face mask to focus on proven skin benefits.

Earth Conscious Life readers use code ECL to get 20% off store-wide, including their awesome RLT devices to provide you all the benefits above.

To a healing future,

P.S. Riana and I use RLT almost every day of the week. It is one of my most favorite calming rituals and great for skin and overall mental health. Check it out HERE.
