Personally I feel like I’ve been in that winter mood for some time now. I’ve been trying to figure out what I want in life, sitting with my options and dreams, incubating some ideas. One of them being this newsletter!

Here are some of my diet practices to reduce my risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and why.

My recent blog on Alzheimer’s disease prevention, decluttering tips, and a paradigm shifting book rec.

And what I’m doing about it.

So happy you’re here! Let’s get to it, check out my recs for this week below!

I came up with the recipe on whim, trying to find something filling, healthy, and easy to throw together. Try this out for your next breakfast or lunch. Why is this recipe great? Minimal cooking, fresh ingredients, nutritional benefits (healthy fats, antioxidants, fiber, protein), easy to meal prep and save if needed, only 5 steps.

What I will provide when I send you an email is personal experiences, intentional, holistic, and relevant health and wellness content.
