I'm totally obsessed with The Walking Dead.

Do you ever wonder why our society is so into gore and death? I've never been much for vampires and zombies, but suddenly I'm hooked. Thankfully I ran across an article by Clemson University professor Sarah Lauro. According to Lauro, "the phenomenon isn’t harmful or a random fad, but part of a historical trend that mirrors a level of cultural dissatisfaction and economic upheaval." Fascinating.


Ps: would you ever Dead Yourself?

anti-pain foods do exist.

In 2011, I spent the entire year on and off steroids, anti inflammatory medications and immunosuppressants. I had severe joint pain that kept me from sleeping and exercising and fevers that ran my body down to a point where I felt I would break. 

Do you, too, share in this pain?

In January 2012, I reached that breaking point and went to see a Naturopathic Physician in Chicago. I stopped my medications, dramatically changed my diet and ways of thinking and have had minimal to no pain for the past year! If you are continually battling pain related to inflammation like me, check out the best and worst foods for pain! 

(To me, Big Sur is synonymous with what it feel like to be pain free.)
