Hey Reader,

You know I'm mostly interested in our health and how food and lifestyle impact that, but I don't think we can reach true health without considering the health of our environment.

The land, air, and water that make up this earth heavily influence our ability to stay healthy.

Healthy vibrant soil is required to grow nutrient-rich plants.

Animals then feed off those plants and either become nutrient-rich meat sources or bioaccumulate toxicants.

The water quality affects our health directly from the water we drink and also through impacting the quality and contamination levels in our seafood.

Plus, it's nice for our mental health to live in a world with a beautiful thriving environment and fewer extreme weather situations.

This is all to say, I try to incorporate sustainability into my healthy eating habits and it's often rather easy because the healthiest option often overlaps with the cheapest and most sustainable option.

If that sounds cool, you'll like these tips:

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, There's been a lot of confusing actions lately with large impacts on our daily health. I wanted to take a minute to talk through a couple of them. We are here (in this proverbial health newsletter space) because we believe in the power of lifestyle and healthy food to heal the body and build better lives. Part of that is avoiding substances that could be damaging or toxic, like food additives and ultra-processed foods designed to build addictions...

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. Because just like life, our bodies and the environments in which they exist are incredibly complex. Our lives...
