The studies to back up my "harmful claims" & Viewer questions finally answered!

Seasonal variability of the body: Misinformation?...and New Q&A today!

I hope this week is proving to be smooth & productive for you - and if it's its not - here's an email with the intention of sending you some some positivity ❤️.

I woke up to a notification from Facebook that they had removed my post stating that the gut microbiome, metabolism, hormones & thyroid all shift seasonally - AND supporting the body through syncing light/dark cycles - cold adapting & seasonal eating could help prevent seasonal affective disorder, weight gain & other poor health outcomes.

Apparently teaching people to adapt to their environment & shift in a seasonal manner is "misleading & dangerous".

I did appeal the notification, and hope that my account doesn't get penalized. If you are reading this - you are likely on my newsletter list (which I am making a big effort to pack with great information on a regular basis).

Keep reading for the studies to back up all my "absurd claims" & make your own decision 🙃.

But first: A few resources to get extra help and support your body through seasonal shifts!

Let's back up these "claims"

Unfortunately our mainstream health information seems to be geared towards confusion & "one size fits all" - "all foods fit" - "a pill for every ill".

Here in this community I encourage people to make more informed decisions when it comes to their health, so I was pretty bummed out that my account was flagged for misinformation.

Here are the studies on these topics in case you want to explore them deeper!

​Hormones shift seasonally​
