Hey Reader,

Following the vein from last week about conflicting and contradictory infromation on health, let's talk about what clean eating really is.

At it's heart, it's trying to reduce ultra-processed foods, which reduces toxic burden and increases nutrient availability.

But it should not be pursued to the extent of undue stress and for many americans follwing the standard american diet, it may take time to adjust both your lifestyle and tastebuds to less processed foods.

Sometimes it means making things from scratch at home, and sometimes that leads to liking something more than you thought you might!

I wasn't a huge fruit roll up fan growing up, but making them from scratch is a huge game-changer. These are fun treats and make a great on-the-go snack or a customizable treat for parties.

the EYWC wellness edit Alicia Pope Good morning Reader, I woke up to some news that I thought you would be especially interested in. Due to recent budget cuts and firings, the FDA has suspended its quality and safety testing of milk. What it sounds like is happening is that a major laboratory that performs quality testing will be closed ahead of schedule. This lab was planned to close eventually, but there is no interim lab, and the new lab is not yet ready. This means right now, there is a...

the EYWC wellness edit Alicia Pope Hey Reader, Recently I saw a short clip from Dr. Becky Kennedy on the experience of learning that I think applies to a health journey as much as any other journey. There is this temptation in all of us to have a quick fix. To just take this probiotic or eat paleo and have all our health problems miraculously fade away. The problem is, that's fantasy.
