Hi Jimi, it’s Sarah.


When I was dealing with wrist pain every day, I didn’t just lose comfort — I lost confidence.


Routine tasks like typing and cooking were difficult. I felt tired and short-tempered. I had to develop “workarounds” like resting a hot teacup on my wrist to try to manage the pain.


It felt as though pain were slowly rewriting who I was.


If you’ve felt like that too, you’re not alone. In fact, more than 1 in 5 Americans experience chronic pain that disrupts their life and work.


Chronic pain is disruptive.


It doesn’t just affect your body: it changes how you live, how you feel, and even how you see yourself.


Chronic pain is exhausting, too.


Sometimes it feels like the pain will always be part of your life, no matter what you try.


If you’ve ever felt like that, I want to invite you to a free online masterclass called “3 Secrets to Become Pain-Free Without Doctors, Drugs, or Surgery.”

Could Long Naps Shorten Your Life?

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

A frequent need to nap could be a red flag for future heart problems and a higher risk of early death, a new analysis concludes.

Long naps lasting more than an hour are associated with a 34% greater risk of heart disease and a 30% greater risk of death, according to the combined results of 20 studies.

Special: The Simple Secret to Really Good Sleep

Overall, naps of any length were associated with a 19% increased risk of premature death, a Chinese research team found.

"Our study indicates it's safest to keep [naps] under an hour," lead researcher Zhe Pan of Guangzhou Medical University said in a news release. "For those of us not in the habit of a daytime slumber, there is no convincing evidence to start."

Interestingly, long naps were linked with an increased risk of death in people who sleep more than six hours a night. Poor sleep also has been linked to high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, and obesity, all of which increase the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.

Good sleep habits, according to the CDC, include:

Sticking to a regular sleep schedule.
Getting enough natural light during the day, to positively influence brain chemicals related to sleep.
Exercising regularly, but not within a few hours of bedtime.
Avoiding artificial light near bedtime.
Keeping your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.

This Week's Hot Health Tip
Fermented foods and probiotics are often celebrated for supporting gut health, but they’re not always the right fit for everyone. They could actually worsen things in cases of SIBO, where there's already an excess of bacteria in the small intestine. If you suspect SIBO or notice your digestive symptoms worsen after eating ferments and probiotics, ask a qualified healthcare practitioner about taking a lactulose or glucose breath test.

Jimi --
You may have seen Bayer’s recent disturbing attempt to manipulate public opinion: an ad campaign framing glyphosate as a vital “tool” for farmers. They go on to use fear tactics, claiming our food costs will skyrocket if we don’t have policies like a pesticide immunity shield that would protect them from lawsuits.
mail

This blatant corporate propaganda ignores the devastating truth: glyphosate is harming our food system, our health, and our economy. In fact, its use is directly contributing to higher food prices in several ways.

The numbers are no longer just statistics; they are a devastating verdict on a system that is fundamentally broken.
Over 45% of the global population now suffers from at least one chronic disease. In America alone, autoimmune conditions afflict up to 50 million people, while 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women are projected to develop cancer. These are not signs of a system in need of minor adjustments. They are signs of a paradigm in total collapse.
For too long, the conventional approach has been to manage, not resolve; to silence symptoms with pharmaceuticals while the root causes of illness—environmental toxins, hidden infections, nutritional deficiencies, and unresolved trauma—are ignored. You have been told to accept your diagnosis as a life sentence. This is a lie. You are not a diagnosis. You are a biological being with an innate capacity to heal, and it is time to access the knowledge that makes this possible.
That is why we are not just recommending, but urging you to attend The Healing Revolution, a critical digital event hosted by investigative journalist Jonathan Otto.
We rarely make such an unequivocal recommendation, but this is not another surface-level wellness summit. It is a strategic dossier, a convergence of the world’s most courageous and effective doctors, scientists, and maverick healers who are successfully reversing the so-called "irreversible." This is where the suppressed, censored, and truly revolutionary healing protocols are brought into the light.​
The time for passive waiting and outsourcing your health is over. The information being presented is not merely interesting—it is essential intelligence for anyone serious about reclaiming sovereignty over their body in a world that profits from their sickness. Do not let this opportunity pass.
This is your mandate to act. Reserve your free place in The Healing Revolution now and learn what is truly possible.​
So thankful that you’re making an investment in your health, your life and yourself.
Because health means everything,​

Anti-aging without vitality? No way!

Anat Baniel shows you how to effortlessly have both greater vitality and regained youthfulness in a free online event that will change how you feel about aging. Begins July 14.

Greetings, Jimi,

As you age, you want to walk with increased ease, strength, speed, and improved balance (and without a walker). You want to watch TV without falling asleep, visit family, go to ball games or concerts, walk through the park, travel, think more clearly, have greater awareness, and easily learn to use that new phone. Right? Of course!

You want to be healthy, active, and feel vibrantly good. And not just once in a while. What if you could feel wonderful every day?!

Anat Baniel developed a NeuroMovement system to get the brain working better and actually prevent (even reverse!) a lot of the symptoms so many people experience as they age. You can use the system free of all charge over five days in the Vitality & Anti-Aging NeuroMovement Healingfest. You already have your Free Pass here.

Here are common symptoms of aging that CAN be improved:

• Aches and pains

Persistent issues with the neck, back, knees, feet, and other parts of the body.

• Difficulty with movement & diminishing flexibility

It’s challenging to get things out of upper cabinets, walk up and down stairs, pick things up, get down to the floor and get back up, get in and out of chairs, tie your shoes, or fast moving back and forth…

• Getting slower and not wanting to move

Children are movement machines, but as we age, we move less and less, and eventually movement becomes a conscious effort. Both our mind and body seem to be behind the curve.

• Lose strength and stamina

It becomes harder to open a jar, carry stuff, play golf, rake the yard, make the bed, push or pull, walk up a hill, and use our hands for more delicate coordination.

• Feeling that life is getting smaller and closing in on us

We don’t want to go anywhere, we don’t want to learn, we get tired of this or tired of that, it’s harder to cognitively catch things that go by quickly, harder to follow conversations with unfamiliar content.

• Feelings of hopelessness, thinking things will only get worse

We feel the best years are behind us. We think we have to act old. We believe life is for younger generations.

That all happens
when we get stuck in our habitual patterns

Change the patterns in your brain and
you will reverse those symptoms of aging

It is so easy to fall into patterns. It is so easy to believe the symptoms of aging are inevitable and irreversible.

But, they are not. You can slow and reverse those symptoms by creating new connections in your brain in a way that turns you into a powerful learner, more like when you were a young child.

You can change the trajectory of aging and ways of being that weren’t there before, even when you were younger.

Yes, we are mortal creatures, but until it is time to get our wings, we can live vibrant and active lives.

You already have heard of older people who accomplish extraordinary things, whether running marathons, inventing breakthroughs, writing books, taking on massive new projects, starting an exciting new career, finding new love…

That is possible for nearly everyone and is validated by modern science and neuroscience.
NeuroMovement course

You will learn simple & subtle movements
that will wake up and rewire your brain

During the upcoming NeuroMovement Healingfest for Vitality & Anti-Aging, you will gently transform physical, cognitive, and emotional patterns of movement, thinking, beliefs, and emotions that cause most of the issues involving mobility, flexibility, strength, and pain.

These simple movements will activate your brain for improved brain functioning, which will lead to

  • A renewed enthusiasm for learning
  • Improve cognitive abilities
  • Peak performance
  • Pain-free mobillty
  • More energy
  • Sharper thinking
  • Enhanced awareness
  • Joy and enthusiasm
Will you have to do these NeuroMovements every day for the rest of your life?

Goodness no!

Do them now, see immediate results, and do them again when you want to up your vitality anytime in the future. Click here, you already have a Free Pass.

What is NeuroMovement?

Anat Baniel
Decades ago, a woman named Anat Baniel began studying the relationship between movement and the brain. She figured out how to intentionally activate positive brain change (what is called neuroplasticity) for making the seemingly impossible become possible.

Anat discovered that doing movements slowly and gently with attention to what you feel as you move, wakes up the brain to rapidly create millions of new connections. This helps bring about rapid learning and, at times, seemingly miraculous breakthroughs in overcoming limitations due to accidents, bad habits, and a variety of conditions, even when in some cases doctors say there is little hope.

It is all about expanding the repertoire of what your brain can tell your body to do and then being able to do it harmoniously, effortlessly, and without pain and suffering.

And during the NeuroMovement Healingfest you will be able to use Anat Baniel’s NeuroMovement for Vitality & Anti-Aging, all free of charge.

If you ask your friends and family members about longevity, don’t be shocked if 100% say they don’t want longevity. That’s because they are imagining themselves in the achy bodies and inflexible minds of their grandparents, parents, and other older people. They see what they don’t want.

If that’s you, cancel that thinking. Do the Vitality & Anti-Aging NeuroMovement Healingfest, and begin seeing for yourself how vibrant and healthy you can be now and in the years to come.

For your health & well-being,
Pete Bissonette

If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the pantry at 9 PM, halfway through a bag of salty snacks, wondering, “Why am I doing this again?” — you are NOT alone.

Emotional eating is one of the most common (and most misunderstood) struggles I see with women, especially in perimenopause and menopause. And trust me, it’s not about willpower.

It’s about your hormones, your blood sugar, your nervous system… and the sneaky ways your body tries to cope when it feels overwhelmed, depleted, or disconnected.

That’s why I couldn’t wait to sit down with my dear friend Amber Romaniuk—an Emotional Eating, Digestive, and Hormone Expert—for this week’s podcast episode.

Amber knows this struggle intimately, and her story of breaking free from binge eating, healing her hormones, and rebuilding trust with her body is so powerful.

In this episode, we dive into:
✨ The REAL reasons women struggle with emotional eating (hint: it’s not just mindset)
🍽️ How late-night snacking, cravings, and binge cycles often tie back to blood sugar and hormone chaos
💛 Practical ways to build consistency, not perfection—and break free from guilt around food
🧠 Simple mindset shifts that help you meet yourself with compassion (not criticism)

Friend, your cravings and eating patterns are not a character flaw—they're your body calling out for support. You deserve to feel balanced, energized, and empowered when it comes to food and your body.

Ready to stop the self-sabotage and start nourishing yourself—inside and out?

“We the People” have the Right to Know
Tell RFK Jr.: Release the Data Now

Dear ,
Maddie de Garay’s story is heartbreaking.
Maddie was 12 years old when she volunteered to join a clinical trial for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. During the trial, she suffered significant injuries following the vaccine.
Shockingly, Big Pharma, the medical community, and the government all turned against Maddie and her parents during their desperate hours of need.
What Maddie’s parents endured while watching their healthy daughter Maddie become incapacitated is utterly heartbreaking.
Bottom line is this:
THOUSANDS OF PHYSICIANS AND INDIVIDUALS INSIDE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.
That’s why I am writing to you today, to ask you to add your signature to ICAN’s petition calling on HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to…
Release the Vaccine Safety Data to the American People NOW!
The message from our health institutions was loud and clear: there's nothing to see here, and your concerns don’t matter.
In simple terms, the entire system denied two devoted parents the chance to protect and give their little girl the necessary medical care she deserved.
They denied them the ability to love their 12-year-old daughter and seek justice.
Maddie and her parents felt dismissed, dehumanized, censored, and crushed with unspeakable brutality by many including Children's Hospital in Cincinnati and our federal health agencies and Big Pharma.
But they are not alone. The actions of HHS hurt millions of Americans.
ICAN’s Petition demands HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. take immediate action to make all of the vaccine safety databases, including VAERS, fully accessible to “We the People” and independent researchers.
I’m writing to ask you to take two critical steps right now:
  • Please add your signature to ICAN’s Petition below.
  • Please forward my email to friends, family, colleagues – post it on social media platforms! We need everyone to jump on board with ICAN – to discover the truth behind the conspiracy of Covid disinformation, misinformation, censorship, and cover-ups.

The Hidden Dangers of Ignoring Vaginal Dryness
It’s not just “a little dryness.”
It’s irritation, UTIs, painful sex, thinning tissue — and a total hit to your confidence.
And here’s the thing no one tells you: When estrogen drops, your vaginal tissue changes. It gets drier, thinner, and more prone to infections. But that doesn’t mean you have to just deal with it.
Still wondering if it’s a big deal?
It is. And it’s fixable.

Tune in to our newest season of the Radical Remission Project's “Stories That Heal” podcast featuring cancer thriver, business owner, and entrepreneur, Rebecca Devine.​
​
When Rebecca was 27 years old, her mom was diagnosed with glioblastoma. It turned her life upside down. And it wasn't until 15 years and 4 kids later that it righted itself. She herself was diagnosed with glioblastoma, given the same bleak prognosis as her mother of 12-15 months and limited treatment options.

Rebecca’s entire adult life had been ruled by anxiety but something happened during her surgery that changed her perspective. She felt an overwhelming sense of peace and deep knowing that she was on the path she was meant to take. This experience had a huge impact. Rebecca bravely tried a new treatment in Germany, threw away her chemo and used food, fitness, and mindset to save her life. Since then, Rebecca has tried to raise her children with the empowering message that you can control your own health by making good choices. Rebecca has had no evidence of disease for over 7 years.

Simple grain swaps that can cut hypertension risk​

​
mail
The difference between brown rice and white rice could be the difference between healthy blood pressure and hypertension. New research reveals how simple grain choices impact your cardiovascular health.

Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of nine major studies spanning over 182,000 participants, to examine the relationship between whole grain consumption and blood pressure outcomes. The study included diverse populations from the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Results showed that people who ate the most whole grains were 26% less likely to develop hypertension compared to those who ate the least. The protection also followed a clear pattern. Every 90 grams of whole grains consumed daily—equivalent to either three slices of whole-grain bread or one bowl of whole-grain cereal—reduced risk by 14%. When consumption goes up to 200 grams daily, whole grain provides a 22% risk reduction. Meanwhile, refined grains offered no clear protection.

With 1.28 billion people worldwide battling hypertension, these findings offer a remarkably simple solution. Stock your pantry with brown rice, quinoa, steel-cut oats, whole wheat pasta, and barley. Your morning bowl of oatmeal topped with berries, a lunch of quinoa salad, or dinner featuring brown rice could be your best investment in long-term heart health.​

THE GOODNESS GUIDE​

​

6 reasons why you keep reaching for something sweet​

​
mail
We've all been there. It's 3 PM and you're digging through your desk drawer looking for something sweet. Or maybe you just finished dinner but find yourself standing in front of the pantry, hunting for chocolate.

Here's the truth: those sugar cravings aren't happening because you lack willpower. Your body is actually trying to tell you something important.

☕ 1. You're low on energy

When your body feels drained, especially after skipping meals or running on caffeine alone, sugar seems like an easy solution. It’s a fast source of fuel, and your brain knows it. That afternoon crash? It often brings a powerful urge for sweets.

😩 2. You’re stressed

Stress activates your body’s fight-or-flight response, flooding you with cortisol. This hormone not only increases your appetite but also makes you crave quick comfort like sugary snacks. If you’ve ever felt like you “needed” a treat after a tough day, you’re not alone.

😴 3. You didn’t get enough sleep

Sleep affects everything, including your hunger cues. When you’re sleep-deprived, your body produces more of the hormone that makes you feel hungry (ghrelin) and less of the one that tells you you’re full (leptin). The result? You wake up craving sugar and carbs because your tired body is desperately searching for energy to function.

⏳ 4. It’s become a habit

Sometimes cravings have nothing to do with hunger. Maybe you always reach for something sweet after dinner or while watching TV. Your brain has created a pattern, and now it expects that reward at certain times.

☹️ 5. You’re feeling emotionally off

Sugar craving isn't just about taste. It can also be about how we feel.
Whether you’re feeling lonely, anxious, bored, or just completely overstimulated, something sweet can feel like comfort. It’s a moment of relief, a small reward, or something to look forward to when everything else feels chaotic or dull. For some, food becomes emotional medicine.

🥗 6. Your meals may be missing balance

When you don't eat enough protein, fiber, or healthy fats, your blood sugar goes on a roller coaster ride. Those dramatic spikes and crashes leave you desperately craving something sweet to level out again.

👉 What Are Your Cravings Telling You?

Your cravings aren't a character flaw. They're signals from your body trying to tell you what it needs. The more you understand these signals, the more empowered you become to respond in ways that actually help.

If you're ready to take the next step, here’s a gentle guide that can help you reset your cravings and feel more in control. ⬇️

Mushroom magic: Single dose shows lasting depression relief for cancer patients​

​
mail
In a recent study from the world of psychedelic medicine, scientists have discovered that just one dose of psilocybin—the naturally occurring compound found in certain mushrooms—can provide lasting relief from depression and anxiety in cancer patients.

Here's what happened: 28 cancer patients battling major depression received just one 25mg dose of psilocybin combined with therapeutic support before, during, and after taking the dosage.

Fast forward two years, and the results are nothing short of extraordinary. Over half showed dramatic improvement in their depression, with 50% achieving complete remission. In addition, nearly 43% saw their anxiety symptoms dramatically reduced for the full two-year period. That's incredible staying power from just one treatment session!

While cancer patients face some of the most challenging mental health battles, this research points to psilocybin as a potentially effective intervention. Researchers are currently conducting a randomized, double-blind trial to further validate these findings.

Who knew that nature's own "magic" mushrooms might hold such therapeutic potential?​

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (70g/2.5oz) sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup (120g/4.2oz) diced zucchini
  • 1 cup (150g/5.3oz) diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup (150g/5.3oz) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup (40g/1.4oz) nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup (10g/0.35oz) chopped fresh basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. In a separate large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms, diced zucchini, and diced bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Add the rinsed quinoa to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.
  6. Ladle in a spoonful of the simmering vegetable broth into the skillet with the quinoa mixture. Stir continuously until the broth is absorbed.
  7. Continue adding the vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently until the quinoa is cooked through and has a creamy consistency, about 15-20 minutes.
  8. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, nutritional yeast, and chopped fresh basil.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes are heated through and the flavors are well combined.
  10. Remove from heat and serve the quinoa risotto immediately, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.

Creatine for cognitive & muscular aging
It turns out creatine isn’t just for gym-bros!

In recent years, creatine has been getting a lot of attention (and rightly so) for its muscle-building and performance-enhancing benefits.

Creatine “plays a critical role in cellular metabolism, particularly during metabolically stressed states”, and “increasing availability of creatine in tissue may enhance cellular metabolism and thereby lessen the severity of injury and/or disease conditions, particularly when oxygen availability is compromised (anabolic workouts like weightlifting).”

Creatine can speed up your metabolism, increase your muscles’ ability to store glycogen to release glucose during training, and accelerate post-workout muscle recovery.

But according to the science, it may also do wonders to improve cognitive function and facilitate healthy aging.

Data from nearly 700 studies with more than 13,400 participants showed that a daily dose of creatine was very unlikely to have negative side effects, but incredibly likely to provide a whole lot of very real benefits.

You see, creatine combines with phosphate (naturally produced by the body) to form creatine phosphate, which is crucial for the production of energy in your cells. While this definitely helps improve athletic performance, there is also the ancillary benefit of boosted brain function.

Research shows that creatine “may improve short-term memory and intelligence/reasoning”, though its effects on other cognitive domains, including “long-term memory, spatial memory, memory scanning, attention, executive function, response inhibition, word fluency, reaction time and mental fatigue” proved conflicting.

In one study, participants were subjected to a battery of cognitive multiple-choice tests to analyze their brain function both before and after creatine consumption. No surprise, creatine consumption not only led to improvements in cognition, but actually alleviated the negative changes caused by sleep deprivation.

A study from early 2025 concluded that “creatine monohydrate supplementation may confer beneficial effects on cognitive function in adults, particularly in the domains of memory, attention time, and information processing speed.”

But the anti-aging, longevity-boosting effects of creatine don’t stop there.

One study found that creatine improved bone health by increasing bone mineral density and accelerated bone formation. It also discovered that the anti-inflammatory effects of creatine led to faster recovery times following the metabolic stress of exercise.

Most important of all, the data showed that creatine could combat age-related muscle wasting and sarcopenia, even without resistance training. Granted, the results were greatly improved when combining creatine supplementation and weightlifting. But just knowing that creatine alone can slow muscle wasting is an absolute game-changer!

The human body naturally produces around 1 gram of creatine per day. Experts (including the director of the Exercise & Sport Nutrition Lab at Texas A&M University believe that around 2 to 4 grams of creatine per day is the recommended dose.

Unfortunately, the main sources of creatine are red meat and fish, so those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet need to find alternative sources. Pumpkin seeds and spinach contain certain amino acids that your body can use to produce creatine, but the only way to get creatine on a plant-based diet is to take a supplement.

Doses of up to 25 grams are believed safe, but such high doses are typically only taken by bodybuilders and professional athletes attempting to pack on significant quantities of muscle.

For the average person who is just taking creatine to get or stay fit, improve athletic performance, and protect their cognitive function and muscle mass as they age, a smaller dose (anywhere from 2 to 5 grams per day) will more than suffice.

But as the research above shows clearly, adding this one supplement to your life can do wonders to help you age gracefully!​
Yours in good health,​

The numbers are no longer just statistics; they are a devastating verdict on a system that is fundamentally broken. Over 45% of the global population now suffers from at least one chronic disease. In America alone, autoimmune conditions afflict up to 50 million people, while 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women are projected to develop cancer. These are not signs of a system in need of minor adjustments. They are signs of a paradigm in total collapse.
For too long, the conventional approach has been to manage, not resolve; to silence symptoms with pharmaceuticals while the root causes of illness—environmental toxins, hidden infections, nutritional deficiencies, and unresolved trauma—are ignored. You have been told to accept your diagnosis as a life sentence. This is a lie. You are not a diagnosis. You are a biological being with an innate capacity to heal, and it is time to access the knowledge that makes this possible.
That is why we are not just recommending, but urging you to attend The Healing Revolution, a critical digital event hosted by investigative journalist Jonathan Otto. I rarely make such an unequivocal recommendation, but this is not another surface-level wellness summit. It is a strategic dossier, a convergence of the world’s most courageous and effective doctors, scientists, and maverick healers who are successfully reversing the so-called "irreversible." This is where the suppressed, censored, and truly revolutionary healing protocols are brought into the light.
The time for passive waiting and outsourcing your health is over. The information being presented is not merely interesting—it is essential intelligence for anyone serious about reclaiming sovereignty over their body in a world that profits from their sickness. Do not let this opportunity pass.​
So thankful that you're making an investment in your health, your life and yourself.
Because health means everything,​

Enter the Field As It Deepens Further​
Home​
​
Greetings, Jimi​
Maybe you've been sensing it — the need for a different kind of healing.
Not more to do. But a deeper way to be.
This is one of those moments — a return to the body, to presence, to what was never lost.
Tomorrow morning, Week 2 of Coming Home to Embodied Awakening goes live. And it's not too late to be part of the journey.​
This week's teaching is:​
Exploring "What Is This Body?" —
The Secret to Healing Lives Within​
We will explore together what it means for this body to be a living temple. Not as metaphor, but as lived reality.

The secret to healing and awakening is not found outside yourself — it already lives inside your body, waiting to be discovered through direct experience.
Buddha taught that liberation is possible when we address the root ignorance that creates all suffering.

In our time, that ignorance is our disconnection from the body as the very ground of awakening.

When we truly feel this body, healing begins. When we discover what this body actually is beyond all assumptions, transformation becomes inevitable.​
The 8-week course is not a lecture series. It's a weekly energetic transmission — a living chi field that invites healing, wholeness, and reconnection.

And the best part: it's included as a gift when you join The Path.​
What You'll Receive in The Path Membership:
  • Weekly live teachings from Master Mingtong
  • Practice guidance and seasonal intensives
  • A private library of transformational teachings
  • A global community of presence and support
"Each session feels like coming into alignment with something ancient and true." — M.R.

"I stopped waiting to be fixed and started feeling whole." — J.N.​
Start today and feel the shift. You're right on time​

Eat more fiber. We hear this all the time from nutrition experts and doctors.
But how many of us actually get the recommended 25 to 30 gm of fiber every day?
Here’s a simple solution: consume more foods rich in pectin. Found naturally in certain fruits and vegetables, pectin is a soluble fiber and prebiotic — and it's especially great for your gut.
Pectin offers even more in the way of benefits, including digestion, weight management, detox, and immunity.
We studied the research and picked the top 8 superfoods naturally packed with pectin.​
