Knock, knock. How are you feeling lately? Have you made time for yourself recently? The reason I am asking this is that most days we experience complexity, urgency, and an overload of tasks and goals we want to reach. The guiding mantra behind this way of working and living is: “We need to perform at a constant rate and always give our best regardless of anything”.

What Is The Microbiome?
Our gastrointestinal (GI) tract is an ecosystem – a collection of microorganisms that differ in number, type, and function throughout it. There are approximately 10 times as many microorganisms in it (approximately 100 trillion) as there are cells in the body. While most of the microbes are bacteria, the gut can also harbor yeasts, single-cell eukaryotes, viruses, fungi, archaea, and small parasitic worms. The majority is found within the large bowel where they contribute to digesting food, fermentation of undigested food components, especially carbohydrates/fiber, absorbing and synthesizing nutrients like phytonutrients, and to fecal bulk.

New Year. New Goals
During the holidays I took a break from social media, my job and all my administrative issues. I wanted to spend quality time with my husband, daughter, relatives and friends. I also needed that time for myself to reflect on and review what I had done throughout the year. I wanted to analyze which goals I had reached, which ones I had left unfulfilled, and how I had followed through with my plans, and from there I wanted to connect with my inner voice to make an evaluation. It is through this exploration of my successes and failures that I can begin to define my new goals with purpose. Also,…
