Four Letter F*** word that keeps us stuck+ Digestion-boosting salad recipe

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

I came across the following powerful quote from Frances Arnold (the Nobel Prize-winning (2018) CalTech professor)

If you're going to change the world, you've got to be fearless. -Frances Arnold

I would humbly add to this quote, that we also need to be FEARLESS to bring a change in ourselves. We all face fear in doing anything new or getting out of our comfort zone. Whether it's the quest for a new scientific discovery or changing our diet and lifestyle to achieve our health goals, fear often creeps up and petrifies us into inaction.

Here is what I have found to be effective to quell my fears in the face of getting out of my comfort zone and this is also what I tell my health/energy coaching clients to do when fear threatens to derail their journey toward a healthier lifestyle: TAKE ACTION.

Take ONE ACTION this week that would bring you closer to your goals-health or any other. Good Luck!


A NEW RECIPE

Digestive Radish, Carrot, Ginger salad with Tomatoes

This recipe comes from my mom who often made this salad whenever radish and carrots were in season. This enzyme- and mineral-rich salad is super healthy and tasty.
