“Actually, the goal should be to swaddle as little as possible,” says Dr. Srinivas. “In particular, an awake baby should never be swaddled. Once fed, if they are awake and active, it is essential that they have free use of their arms, legs and voice (no pacifier) to promote development. As they begin falling asleep, parents can choose to swaddle, but should remain aware of their infant’s ability to wriggle free. If their infant is able to ‘escape’ the swaddle, it is preferable and safer to dress them in layers appropriate to the weather.”

Tightly wrapping a newborn baby in a blanket or swaddle is a common practice. But is it safe? Learn why and when swaddling is appropriate.

Happy Thanksgiving! Let today be a time of joy, celebration, and connection — not bloating, fatigue, or regret.

A few tips to support the gut, liver, enzymes, and nervous system — so you can enjoy every bite and every moment!

𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 (𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐥!)
Water is critical, but timing matters:
• Drink 20–30 minutes before meals to hydrate mucosal linings and support enzyme flow
• Avoid chugging during meals — it dilutes stomach acid, weakening digestion
Instead, sip room-temperature water or herbal teas during meals (peppermint, ginger, or lemon work best).

𝐃𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐋
𝟏. 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭 & 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭” 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞
Digestion only works when the parasympathetic nervous system is active. Stress shuts down digestive secretions and tightens the gut.
Tools to shift into “rest & digest”:
• Take a few slow belly breaths before eating (inhale 4 sec, exhale 6–8 sec)
• Express gratitude — activates vagus nerve - it is Thanksgiving!
• Avoid tense topics or phones/screens at the table (super important)
• Sit in a relaxed posture (uncrossed legs, spine relaxed)
𝟐. 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐰 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 — 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
Chewing properly does more than break food into small pieces:
• Triggers saliva, which contains amylase and lipase
• Signals stomach acid release
• Reduces fermentation and bloating from undigested particles
• Gives your gut a head start so it doesn’t have to work overtime
Chew each bite at least 20–30 times — especially meat, fat, bread, and raw vegetables.
𝟑. 𝐀𝐝𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞
Small amounts of certain foods stimulate natural digestion and improve tolerance of heavier fare.
Digestive allies:
• Fermented veggies — provide enzymes + probiotics
• Bitter greens — stimulate bile (arugula, radicchio, endive)
• Fresh lemon — squeeze over meat or fish
• Pineapple/papaya — help break down protein
• Fresh ginger or turmeric — reduce inflammation and activate flow
• Horseradish, mustard, vinegar — increase stomach acid production
Even 1 tablespoon of these can make a difference.
𝟒. 𝐆𝐨 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐬, 𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥
Drinking with meals:
• Can dilute digestive enzymes and stomach acid
• Alcohol increases gut permeability and depletes liver nutrients
Tips:
• Sip herbal water or tea, not large glasses of ice water
• If you drink wine, choose dry red or organic sulfite-free options
• Avoid sugary cocktails or mixers (they worsen bloating and liver load)
Alcohol is never ideal for gut or liver health — but if it’s a special occasion, don’t stress. Support your body, stay hydrated, and enjoy with awareness.
𝟓. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 “𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥”
Your body sends satiety signals ~15–20 minutes after you’re actually full.
Eating past this point:
• Slows digestion
• Increases fermentation
• Promotes fatigue, blood sugar crashes, and liver congestion
Aim for 80% fullness — where you feel satisfied, not stuffed.
𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐋
𝟏. 𝐆𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝗪𝐚𝐥𝐤
Post-meal movement is profoundly therapeutic:
• Stimulates peristalsis (intestinal contractions)
• Improves insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation
• Aids in gas release and lymph movement
• Reduces heaviness and post-meal brain fog
Just 10–20 minutes of walking is enough. Avoid lying down or slumping on the couch right away.

Let the holidays nourish more than just your plate — let them nourish your whole being.

A study from the Cleveland clinic found "that influenza vaccination of working-aged adults was associated with a higher risk of influenza during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season, suggesting that the vaccine has not been effective in preventing influenza this season."

I worked for a company that did not own up to it's s (see what I did there), and reading how this employee was fired for reporting this VP Martin Bally (let's say his name), fires me up. In addition to the issues with the soup outlined below, it contains Monosodium glutamate. This additive could increase the risk of developing various diseases in cases of high consumption: cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders, overweight and glucose intolerance. It may also cause nausea, vomiting, and migraines in sensitive individuals.

On the contrary, a can of Kroger's tomatoes condensed soup contains NO risky additives. Choose wisely.

You can hear the recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=O8FBWZX7sT0&fbclid=IwY2xjawOSl5VleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFsMXg4Y3FCc01CbTZidjF3c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHswmOPSNWB_S_1wCsyVj_-CXq2KiV4ZFR-8AtSE1n0Cp0xMvp_C2Lp3QMZ5F_aem_B4ybT8kPBhaZ9qu8b2w0GA

🚨 A senior Campbell Soup Company executive has been exposed in a secret recording brutally admitting that the company’s food is garbage, so unhealthy that he himself refuses to eat it, and that he wants nothing to do with the bioengineered and lab-grown meat the industry is pushing.

For years, Campbell’s has been packed with bioengineered toxic ingredients—genetically modified corn, soy, canola, sugar beets, and more—that carry serious long-term health risks including organ damage, hormone disruption, allergenicity, and antibiotic resistance.

Martin Bally, Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer, let the mask slip during a 2024 lunch with a new employee:

“We have s**t for f***ing poor people. Who buys our s**t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f**k’s in it.”

He then drew a hard line against the very innovations appearing on grocery shelves, declaring:

“I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.”

In other words, the man whose paycheck depends on Campbell’s success privately views the iconic soups and meals as unhealthy slop peddled to those who can’t afford better, and he’s repulsed by the bioengineered and fake-meat ingredients the industry (and possibly Campbell’s own pipeline) is embracing.

The recording, made public through a wrongful-termination lawsuit filed November 20, 2025, by former employee Robert Garza, has turned a decades-old symbol of comfort food into a national scandal.

Garza, a brand-new hire who had been on the job only a few weeks, secretly recorded the hour-long tirade after it quickly turned hostile and offensive.

Deeply disturbed by what he heard, he formally reported the incident to HR in January 2025, citing a hostile work environment and discriminatory language.

Instead of an investigation into Bally, Garza was terminated just weeks later.

He believes the firing was direct retaliation for speaking up.

Only after his termination did Garza make the recording public, attaching it to a wrongful-termination lawsuit filed on November 20, 2025, against Campbell Soup Company.

The lawsuit accuses the company of illegally retaliating against a whistleblower who tried to do the right thing internally first.

Campbell’s issued a statement saying the comments are “unacceptable” if accurate and do not reflect company values, while confirming an investigation. Bally remains in his role.

For millions of families who still reach for that red-and-white can, the message from inside the company is now crystal clear: even the executives think it’s trash.
