Hi friends, 

 

NYC has been warm and spring-like lately and after feeling under the weather last week, it has completely brought me back to life. The change in weather has also reminded me that everything is temporary and life moves in cycles. I'll need to remember this on cold, wintery days when my mood tends to dip. 

 

I'm mixing things up a bit and for today's newsletter, I want to share 3 things that have been inspiring me lately. 

 

1. Dr. Sara Gottfried on the Huberman Lab Podcast: How to Optimize Female Hormone Health for Vitality & Longevity Dr. Gottfried specializes in hormone health, vitality, and longevity using precision/personalized approaches. The episode is loaded with important information about female hormone health, the microbiome, and stress-related hormone challenges. She also touches on constipation (an essential factor in our health!), patriarchy, white privilege, and the importance of democratizing health data. By far one of the best episodes I've heard lately. Listen and let me know what you think!

 

2. This Berry Baked Oatmeal. For anyone who thinks oatmeal is boring, this is the ultimate recipe to change your mind. I've been following Downshiftology for some time now, but I only recently started making her recipes. So far, every single one I've tried has been a hit. I recently made this berry-baked oatmeal for a playdate with Raffi's friends and honestly, haven't stopped thinking about how good it was. If you need a family-friendly breakfast recipe for this long weekend, this is it. 

 

3. This quote from James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, speaks to me on a deep level. I am always wishing for more time, but what I really need is the ability to focus. "Before you throw more time at the problem, throw more focused action at the problem. You don’t need more time, you need fewer distractions."
