Paleo takes eating old school — 2.5 million years old, to be exact. It encourages us to eat like some think our ancestors did in the Paleolithic period, long before a Publix, Ralphs, or Piggly Wiggly had popped up on every corner. Cavemen lived on whatever they could forage, fish, or hunt for — so basically, animals and plants.

“Losing my mother at such an early age is the scar of my soul. But I feel like it ultimately made me into the person I am today. I understand the journey of life. I had to go through what I did to be here.” ~Mariska Hargitay
At 6:07 pm on July 18, 2020, I was sitting on the couch with my boyfriend. It was a Saturday night, and I had canceled plans with my friends because I had a migraine. I had eaten dinner already, and I was in my pajamas, watching TV. My phone rang—my dad. “I’ll call him back later,” I said, flipping the phone over on the couch and returning my attention to the television.
Three minutes later, I received a text from my dad to my sister and me.
“Girls, I do not want to alarm you, but I am at the emergency room in Asheville. Your mother and…

The aging of the immune system isn’t just a matter of becoming vulnerable to commonplace infectious diseases, such as influenza. The immune system also removes senescent cells and cancerous cells, both of which present sizable risks to health in later life. Additionally, immune cells participate in normal tissue maintenance in a variety of ways. Further, the chronic inflammation characteristic of an aged immune system disrupts the normal function of many types of cell and tissue, contributing to a diverse range of age-related conditions.

Cisd2 is one of the few genes shown to regulate life span in both directions in animal models; less of it shortens life span, while overexpression extends life. Researches here focus on the effects of cisd2 on liver function in mice, showing that maintaining high levels of cisd2 expression into old age beneficially impacts a number of processes implicated in degenerative aging and liver disease. This isn’t the only organ in which cisd2 expression has measurable effects; other groups have studied cisd2 in the heart, for example.
The liver plays a pivotal role in mammalian aging. However, the mechanisms underlying liver aging remain unclear. Cisd2 is a pro-longevity gene in mice. Cisd2 mediates lifespan and healthspan via regulation o…

We will often start our days with the best of intentions … and then promptly get caught up in a chain of busywork, messages, opening browser tabs, checking on things, answering email …
… and soon the day has gone by and we wonder what we did with the day.
There’s a simple practice that can shift that in a huge way: the Interstitial Ritual.
It’s very simple:
When you finish with a task (or email, message, reading something) … pause. Don’t go to the next tab or message right away.
Take a breath. Notice where you are, how you feel, what is around you.
Write down what you just finished, if it was a task. For me, I have a Today list and a Done list and I simply add the last task to my Done list, remove it from the Today list.
Celebrate! Reinforce your accomplishment by being grateful.
