As I was working on lowering my stress vibes lately and decided to ditch caffeine because it contributes too much to increasing the stress hormone cortisol, I found myself missing the sipping habits in meetings or while chilling on my terrace, the warm feeling of holding a cup close to the chest, and the health benefits of my favorite oolongs and white teas - mainly the antioxidants.

And that’s when I expanded my taste - and my cabinet supplies - in herbal infusions.

In the grand cosmic dance of life, our bodies are composed of billions of tiny dancers - cells, bacteria, and other microscopic creatures that form a symphony of cooperation and communication.

Let’s dive a bit into the world of our bodily inhabitants, exploring the marvels of cellular communication, the role of "foreign" entities like mitochondria, and the importance of our microbial friends.

And, of course, we'll touch on the art of achieving balance, or homeostasis, within this vibrant ecosystem we call the human body.

In today's world, people often focus on weight, partly because it is easy to measure and track. Caloric intake is also an easily quantifiable aspect of health, as it is displayed on most packaged foods.

However, this singular focus on weight and calories may not tell the whole story when it comes to overall wellbeing and health. There is a growing need to shift the focus from weight and calories to other factors that significantly impact our health, such as sleep, hormones, and stress levels. And there are easy at-home tests for all these.

Let’s dive into identifying if you have it, what are the benefits of lowering it, and how to actually lower it.

It has always fascinated me why we sometimes make unhealthy choices. Nobody wants to go through the suffering of getting sick. Nobody wants to look bad. Nobody wants to have challenging last few decades of life. Yet, I see every day so many people making unhealthy choices. I’m in this boat too, as I am also going for the unhealthy sometimes too. So what’s going on? Let’s explore together a list of potential reasons and how you can work with them for your improvement.

A few days ago I attended a drum making workshop. I’m not a musician (far from it). The reason why I wanted it was simply to express my internal rhythms in the safe space of my home, to soothe myself on rhythmic beats, and to improve my health by resonating my whole body with specific beats.

Our life is dictated by rhythmic beats. Our heart beats. Our breath patterns. Our cells vibration. Our health is represented by these beats.

Therefore, I’m considering drumming a health technique. Playing rhythmic beats can have a huge influence on our wellbeing.
