🚨 The 2025 Dirty Dozen is here! 🚨
The Environmental Working Group’s latest guide reveals which fruits & veggies have the highest pesticide residues. This year’s list (see below) includes some surprises!

🛡️ HOW TO REDUCE PESTICIDE EXPOSURE:
✅ Buy organic versions of these 12 items when possible
✅ Wash ALL produce thoroughly under running water
✅ Use a produce brush for firm fruits/vegetables
✅ Remove outer leaves of leafy greens
✅ Peel fruits when appropriate (though you’ll lose some nutrients)
✅ Choose frozen organic options - they’re often more affordable
✅ Shop local farmers markets and ask about growing practices
💡 Remember: Eating conventional fruits & vegetables is still better than not eating them at all! The health benefits outweigh the risks.
Focus your organic budget on the Dirty Dozen and save money on the Clean Fifteen (like avocados, sweet corn, and pineapple)!

Why Rhythm Is Medicine
Most hormone therapies flatten out nature’s peaks and valleys. But the luteal and ovulatory surges exist for a reason. They drive gene expression, regulate inflammation, and support whole‑body health.

PHRT™ (Physiologic Hormone Restoration Therapy) restores those rhythms by:

Timing estrogen peaks around Day 12
Timing progesterone peaks around Day 21
Matching natural cycles as closely as possible
Result: We’re not just replacing hormones; we’re restoring the symphony nature designed.

✨ When therapy follows biology, health follows too.

🎒✨ Back-to-School Health Tips! ✨🎒
As many of our little ones round out their first couple weeks back in school or for those about to head back to the classroom, here are some simple ways to keep germs at bay and support their health:
🧼 Teach proper handwashing - 20 seconds with soap (sing “Happy Birthday” twice!)
🤧 Practice good cough/sneeze etiquette - into the elbow, not hands
💤 Prioritize sleep - growing bodies need 9-11 hours for strong immune systems
🥕 Pack nutritious lunches with immune-boosting foods like fruits and veggies
💧 Stay hydrated - send them with a water bottle they’ll actually use
💊 Consider vitamins or supplements to boost the immune system (example: probiotics)
🏠 Create healthy habits at home - regular cleaning of commonly touched surfaces
🤒 Keep sick kids home - it protects everyone and helps them recover faster
Remember: Building these habits now sets them up for a healthier school year! What are your go-to tips for keeping your family healthy?
