Hello ,


How are you embodying Surprise and delight?


Well, look who surprised and delighted us yesterday.  I was literally sitting here writing my weekly email note to you all early yesterday morning and in walked my husband with a box of puppy.


And then an easy 36 hrs went by, with nothing but cuddles, love, exploration and newness.  


So here I am, finishing my note and sharing the love.


There is something about a puppy that just lights up the moments and ours just became a lot brighter!


Meet Schatzi......


I wish you all a bit of surprise and delight in your days,


Joyfully,


~ Lynn 🌈

LEARNING

📰 In the News

We know that curcumin (the active compound in turmeric) helps to support blood sugar, insulin, inflammation, and other aspects of metabolic health. But we also know that it is not easily absorbed from the digestive tract. 


Now a new study shows that curcumin may be effective even if it is not absorbed! 


The reason is because curcumin acts directly in the gut to shift the gut microbiota in favor of beneficial bacterial strains, like Bifidobacteri, Lactobacilli, and butyrate-producing bacteria. 


This shift in gut microbiomes translates into a cascade of events that influences metabolic health


💡Pro Health Tip

Stress is not just an emotional experience. It can disrupt just about every aspect of our physical health as well—mainly because we have a physiologic response to stress no matter what the trigger.


That’s why one of the best things you can do for your health is getting into a daily habit of stopping the stress response. Here are 6 ways: 


❣️ Pausing for 30 seconds to focus on your breath

❣️ Getting up from your desk for a 2-minute stretch break

❣️ Going for a walk around the block

❣️ Shaking out your arms, legs, and whole body

❣️ Snuggling or being intimate with a partner or furry friend

❣️ Tapping around the eyes or under your collar bone
