If you have a plant and water it, give it good soil, talk nice, but put it in a dark closet... Things are not going to go well.

Light is so critical to our health for a myriad of reasons.

However.. blue light can be a little much. With the amount of time we spend in front of blue light emitting devices, our relationship with light must change.

If you are in front of a computer or phone all day or (especially) night, but it may be time...

Welcome to Season 2!

We are kicking off the new season with a new format. Shorter episodes with more actionable steps to help you live well. We will also still have the occasional longer conversation with Richmond specialists - don't worry!

Today is all about stress.

Really, this whole past year is about stress.

But we are chatting about how to manage it instead of eliminate it. Enjoy!

Movement is one of the easiest aspects to change on your own. You can do that right now by choice.

Everything in life is impacted by movement. It is the universal connection of all the other Blue Zones principles. Use it to connect, to eat, to breathe, everything.

Motion is life, so move it!

All of the Blue Zones in the world are in different places, yet they have specific dietary habits. And that is not because they all eat the same, it's because the principles of diet remain the same.

Which is great because that means you can apply it to your life even if you don't live in Costa Rica or Okinawa!

The right outlook on life. No wonder it's essential for those that are likely to live to 100 years old.

I firmly believe that having a life purpose is so important to a fulfilled life. Every decision in health stems from an anchored purpose. Couple that with downshifting each day and we have an amazing set up for the right outlook!

I'm sure you have heard of the saying "You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with." That's exciting because you get control of that!

One of the categories of the "Power 9" of the Blue Zones is all about connections. Belong, Right Tribe, and Family First.

People in very specific areas around the world have a 10x greater likelihood of living to 100 than the rest of the planet. Must be something to that.

Blue Zones. That's why.

People in these areas of the world have specific characteristics in common that facilitate health. Unfortunately, Richmond is not a Blue Zone. But that doesn't mean we can't learn something from them!

As Pam says on her website: "Every child is intelligent, resourceful, competent, and driven toward relationship with other people and the world. But not every child grows up believing this about himself."

Be glad we didn't say "To supplement, or not to supplement...that is the question" more than once.

Holding two conflicting opinions at the same time is tough, but we managed to have fun balancing out the viewpoints and playing devil's advocate with each other on whether or not supplementing your nutrition should be a priority.

You know that one person who is going to the gym carrying a gallon jug of water? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that isn't the best way to hydrate....

It's still a start though! Hydration impacts everything we do - energy, sleep, focus, nourishment. Optimizing your hydration is a super easy thing to do and totally worth the easy steps to get there.

This new series spawned from our conversations we have on a daily basis. We realized that some of the things we share with one another are just too good to not put them on here.

To start it off, this is about natural healing and what when we dissect "natural" and "healing", we realized that there's really no other way for healing to take place. Let us know what you think!

You know those people that you meet that seem to exude a calming and peaceful presence? Yeah, that's 100% Sepidar. Which totally makes sense with the energetic work that she does to help people heal.

We talked a lot about the role of a healer. How we really just facilitate that process, not actively perform it. Remember - only you can heal you!

It should come to no surprise that the foods we eat impact our health. However, it's been increasingly understood that the emotions we have around our food can do the same.

No wonder there is such a link between food and our hormones. Eating right for YOU is what Heather teaches and how she has a huge impact on women that are working on having a healthier cycle.
