Moving Into Mindfulness

When you’ve practiced yoga for as long as Tanya Kocsis has, over 20 years, and has taught for over 10, it’s hard for her to remember a time she wasn’t practicing yoga. As a person who has always been active with many different sports, it wasn’t until her twenties that she was introduced to yoga, through watching her mom doing a yoga class in front of PBS. Although they hadn’t discussed it, Tanya shares that her mom was taking a reprieve from her daughter and son who kept her busy and on her toes.

Tanya remembers that she got her start after college, it was an exciting time, but didn’t know who she was yet. She didn’t feel like an adult, but felt she needed to be an adult. We’ve all been there.

Bitter Receptors for Sustainable Weight Management

Most of us associate the word “bitter” with unpleasant flavors — but in the body, bitterness is actually a biological signal for health. Long before modern nutrition science, traditional cultures valued bitter foods and herbs for digestion, appetite balance, and overall wellness. Today, science is catching up.
At the center of this connection are bitter taste receptors — powerful sensory receptors that do far more than help us taste food.
To help us get a better sense of what this means, we looked to someone who specializes in nutrition. We recently hosted an educational webinar with guest speaker, Carolyn Brown, licensed nutritionist and co-founder of Indigo Wellness Group based in Connecticut. She had some things to say about our bitter receptors that exist not only in our mouth, but throughout our entire gastrointestinal tract. They exist in the gut and intestines, the stomach, the pancreas, our lungs, the immune system and even in fat tissue.

Healthy Thrift Trends In Youth

Ever since my teenage years, I’ve been a devoted thrifter. Salvation Army, Goodwill, local secondhand shops—you name it, I was there. While others rushed to grab the newest gadgets, I was rarely an “early adopter“. Why spend $30 on a brand-new shirt when a $3 thrifted find could stretch my budget further set and me…
