If you are addicted to your phone like me and would like to cut back your screen time, use a greyscale only screen. A colorful screen stimulates the brain, releases dopamine and will therefore promote cell phone addiction. A grey screen will make it less appealing and will help to break that (bad) habit. Give it a try! On an iphone, go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Display & Text size -> Color filter: on -> Grayscale. Thank you @hubermanlab for the tip!

#Repost @awholehealthlife with @make_repost The cycles of the moon absolutely can impact our health in a variety of ways. I used to think this was all woo woo, and then I started learning a bit about parasite cleansing. And the cycles of the moon impact more than activity of parasites. The full moon has a unique link to nature! From animal mating habits to the ocean tide to certain plants’ pollination. It’s not surprising how it can impact us in a variety of ways.... The full moon impacts hormones and chemical balances. Melatonin levels drop every full moon and melatonin is a neurotransmitter that sends critical messages within our brain and nervous system. It impacts both sleep and immunity! During this time, our immune system is more vulnerable. Serotonin levels increase in the full moon, which impact our behaviors and mental state. Low levels are associated with anxiety, depression and insomnia. Individuals often report disturbed sleep during a full moon. Critters come out to play during the full moon. This is why most people do their parasite cleansing during the full moon phase. Since parasites thrive off serotonin, they become more active during the full moon! Ways to support your body during the full moon: Nourish well with real foods Yoga and/or physical activity Practice good sleep hygiene Parasite cleansing As you all know, I just did my first parasite cleanse with @microbeformulas. It was amazing, and I feel GREAT. I will be writing a full blog and my personal recommendations (and links to everything) SOON! Stay tuned. Many have asked for links to the cleanse, enema kit, etc. Do you feel the effects of the moon cycle?
