We all have friends who go from one diet to the next, maybe receiving short-term change only to revert back to old habits. I'm sure many of us have also done that ourselves. But at its root, maintaining personal health is not about restrictions. Truly nourishing yourself is about creating new habits.

When I was pregnant with my first child, I just thought that circumcision was what you did, no big deal, and that every man was circumcised. Then one day I saw a picture of a baby being circumcised, and everything changed. Just one tiny, grainy photo was enough to make me want to know more, and the more I knew, the worse it got. It turns out, circumcision really IS a big deal. Here are 14 myths about male circumcision you most likely believe.

The topic of shamanism and “plant medicine” inevitably leads into a discussion of other hallucinogens. It's not a black and white issue, and while there is much we can learn from these cultures and their traditions, my intention with this article is to address their shadow side which is not much acknowledged these days.

Psychotronics is the intersection between consciousness, energy fields and matter. Developed as a weapon against individuals or specific populations to exert power over behavior and mood — essentially a form of mind control — Russia has a long history of developing this class of technology.

Modern cigarettes contain a whopping 600 ingredients, which translates to over 4000 chemicals. In addition to the familiar toxic ingredients found in cigarettes like tar and nicotine, many people are surprised to learn that cigarettes contain many other highly toxic ingredients, such as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, DDT, butane, acetone, carbon monoxide, and even cadmium. Did you know that The National Institute on Drug Abuse has estimated that in the United States alone, smoking is responsible for more than 400,000 deaths per year, and that by the year 2030 tobacco related deaths worldwide are projected to be approximately 10 million? 

There's a lot of research into happiness right now. The success of any nation can no longer be judged just on Gross Domestic Product (GDP). A lot of time, money and resources are now being focused on measuring our Gross Domestic Happiness too. What if you could 'rewire your brain' for optimum happiness, and the 'secret' of extreme wellbeing could be reduced to something like an algorithm? Might there be one 'master-key' which could unlock the 'mechanism' of happiness?

Obesity has become such a problem all over the globe that it’s now referred to as an epidemic. While most research implies that people choose to be overweight - that they choose to have an unhealthy relationship with food - in my experience, over-eating is not a cognitive choice. So is that it? Does that mean we are stuck with our behaviours? Not at all. The behaviours that lead to obesity are driven by the subconscious, which actually makes it remarkably easy to change.
