Anyone else practically live on Girl Scout cookies growing up? In our house, Thin Mints were a favorite, and we always had 1-2 boxes in the freezer for snacking. It doesn’t get much better than a crisp, cold, chocolaty Thin Mint dunked in milk (who’s with me?).
We wanted to bring the nostalgia of Girl Scout cookies into our kitchen and remake this classic cookie, but with a healthier spin. We’re happy to report that our inspired version is not only naturally gluten-free, vegan, and grain-free, but it’s also incredibly quick and easy t…

“Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.” ~Kahlil Gibran
Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now.
I feel it the most acutely when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. I notice a strange rash or feel an unusual sensation and all of a sudden: panic!
My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and my ruminations go in the direction of dread about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough.
Is my anxiety warranted? My mind tells me it is.
“Remember how you had that bad reaction to a medication? It could happen again!”
“You know how your daughter had that febrile seizur…

In today’s open access paper, researchers add to the present body of evidence for loss of capillary density to be an important mechanism of aging. All tissues are packed with capillaries, hundreds passing through every square millimeter in cross-section. This density is lost with age, and that reduces the supply of nutrients and oxygen to cells. Like the raised blood pressure of hypertension, loss of capillary density is a fair way downstream from the molecular damage that causes aging. Also like hypertension, loss of capillary density may make a large enough contribution to further tissue damage and dysfunction to be worth targeting independently of its cause…
