Your gut has a built-in defense system—a microscopic barrier that controls what gets in and what stays out. But when that barrier breaks down (a phenomenon often called “leaky gut”), it can trigger inflammation and wreak havoc on your overall health.
This dish is even more popular in Valencia than paella. It is worth using a terracotta pot to cook the entire recipe, as it gets all the flavours from the beginning to end. But if you don’t have one, you can use a pan or an oven tray instead.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a group of essential fats that are crucial for heart, brain, and eye health. Unlike other nutrients that your body can produce on its own, omega-3s must come from dietary sources or supplementation. These fats reduce inflammation, lower triglycerides, and support cell membrane function. There are three primary types of omega-3 fatty acids: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and ALA (alpha linolenic acid). EPA and DHA are primarily found in fatty fish and marine sources. EPA is widely studied for its role in supporting cardiovascular health and maintaining healthy triglyceride levels. DHA is a structural…

If you read the first part of our iron education series on iron homeostasis, you already know the story: conventional iron supplements often fail because they ignore the body’s regulatory machinery. Hepcidin, the hormone that controls how much iron your body absorbs and circulates, gets thrown off by inflammation, and when that happens, adding more iron doesn’t fix the problem. Iron and immunity aren’t separate systems — they share the same signals. Lactoferrin sits at that intersection, and effera® delivers it in the human-identical form your body actually recognizes. But there’s a second half to that story. Iron and the…
The best form of exercise is the one you’ll stick with, but have you ever wondered about how efficient your workout is? As a cycling instructor and running coach, I often hear that cycling “feels easier” than running. They’re two cardio-dominant workouts, yet one is perceived as smoother and controlled while the other is consistently strenuous.At its core, cycling is more energy-efficient because it cuts down on wasted energy. When you run, every step is an impact on the pavement (or treadmill). You swing your arms for momentum, brake slightly with each foot strike, then have to re-accelerate forward again—over…

Expect anything from subtle red berries and citrus to softer peachy notes – all designed to be refreshing and easy to enjoy. But rosé isn’t…

I learned early how to be “good.” Good meant quiet. Good meant easy. Good meant not needing much. What I didn’t realize then was that I was learning how to abandon myself. School was hard for me in ways…
