Discover Truly Healthy, Non-Toxic, Organic Clothing: Avoid Greenwashing Gimmicks
Do you find yourself looking for the healthiest, regenerative products with little success? Your favorite podcasters promote the same 10 brands that are decent but typically rely on 90% marketing and are only marginally better than conventional products.

Do I Live in a Zoo? Diseases of Captivity
Welcome to my newsletter! I thought I'd start with a memory that often surfaces when I think about reclaiming health in our modern world. It seems random, but it’s feels like the right place to start: my first college Christmas break. College wasn’t the dream I’d imagined (a story for another day), and I longed for something fun to rediscover childhood joy. I hadn’t been to a zoo in years, so I set my heart on the LA Zoo. But what I found shattered my memories. Gone were the vibrant, powerful creatures of my youth. Instead, I saw cage after cage of sickly animals, pacing like prisoners, with patchy fur and a broken look in their eyes.
Welcoming the Winter Solstice: Practices for the Longest Night
Hi friends,
With the Winter Solstice arriving this Saturday, December 21st, I wanted to share some practices I’ll be embracing as we welcome the Winter season.
As a reminder, the Winter Solstice marks the official start of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and it’s the shortest day of the year. After the slow progression of fall, where the days shorten and the light wanes, we reach this peak of darkness. Here in Montana, the cold and snow have settled in, and while the days will begin to lengthen after the Solstice, the chill will only deepen.
