Welp… I turn 52 on Wednesday, and as I have done for the past two years, ever since turning half a century old, I am sharing with you everything I know that is medical studied and validated to help boost your longevity.

But our mitochondrial function is super ...

So I see it as a free healing modality that is empowering to all of humanity, regardless of ...

The Earth’s Embrace… My Latest Painting And Exactly How I Painted It
Working in healthcare for almost three decades now, I’ve had quite a few experiences with folks who were near death, patients who were actively dying, and patients who had near death experiences and later told me about them. I even became a certified Death Doula to get additional training on how to help folks as they transition out of their physical bodies. Everything I’ve witnessed and learned about death has all added up to one takeaway: there are always others present, supporting you, and love surrounding you. And I think it’s so comforting, to know no one dies ...
