Long-term relief option, zero-waste stores, air fryers

Happy Monday my friend,

A colleague of mine, Dr. Yoni Whitten, has become known as a bit of a master at helping folks deal with pain (especially chronic issues). He has an online event you don’t want to miss happening later this week, so I recommend you check that out.

🌍 BE THE CHANGE: The rise of zero-waste grocery stores is revolutionizing how we shop, encouraging sustainable habits that reduce packaging waste. These stores promote the use of reusable containers and bulk purchasing, cutting down on plastic pollution and supporting eco-friendly living. By embracing zero-waste shopping, communities can significantly minimize their environmental footprint. Check out this state-by-state zero-waste grocery stores guide!

🥗 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Spaghetti with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is a flavorful twist on a classic dish. The smoky sweetness of roasted red peppers blended with garlic, olive oil, and a touch of nutritional yeast creates a creamy, vibrant sauce. Toss with your favorite pasta and garnish with fresh basil for a delicious meal, or add a protein of your choice.

🌾 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: Cacao nibs are packed with antioxidants and essential nutrients that support mood and brain health. Rich in magnesium and flavonoids, they help enhance cognitive function and promote a sense of well-being. Add cacao nibs to smoothies, oatmeal, or baked goods for a nutritious, crunchy boost.

🧠 MIND: The power of deep breathing for mental focus is profound. Controlled breathing techniques can reduce stress, enhance concentration, and promote relaxation. By incorporating simple practices like diaphragmatic breathing into your routine, you can improve mental clarity and emotional balance. Try these 10 breathing techniques for stress relief.

💞 SPIRIT: Using crystals to enhance spiritual energy has been practiced for centuries. Different crystals, like amethyst for calmness or rose quartz for love, are believed to influence emotional and spiritual well-being. Whether there is physical effect or not, incorporating crystals into meditation or daily rituals as a symbol can help create balance and positive energy in your life. Here are some power crystals that you can get!

Long-term relief

Headaches, migraines, muscle pains, numbness and tingling all can be traced to nutrient deficiencies. 

In fact, the #1 “neurological driver” of chronic pain is lack of a specific nutrient. 

And adding ONE specific nutrient to your diet can slash migraine risks 80%.

These nutrient deficiencies are far too common and too many people don’t realize that the solution can be at the end of their fork. 

That’s why my friend Dr. Yoni Whitten, an expert in the art and science of chronic pain resolution, created an online event you don’t want to miss. It’s the culmination of a lifetime of experience working with a chronic pain clinic that’s relieved the chronic pain of countless numbers of people in the last 19 years.

Join Dr. Yoni Thursday, March 6th, 2025, at 7:30pm EST ( 4:30pm PST) to uncover the keys to “Strategic Eating to Eliminate Chronic Pain.” 

You’ll discover:

• Which super-common nutrient deficiencies have been directly linked to the most common pain conditions on earth.

• How to know if you’re deficient in the nutrients your body needs to be pain free

•  What pain researchers say is the most important thing for overcoming pain

• The critical distinction between the two main types of inflammation

• Which essential nutrient slashes the risk for migraines by up to 80%

Plus, you’ll learn how to make every meal you eat take you further away from pain and toward a better life. 

Head on over now to learn more. 

There is no cost for this online event, but space is limited.
