Protect the Nation’s Most-Visited Wilderness, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota​

Editor’s Note: Our hearts are rooted in Minnesota’s wilderness country, where our home office and Agroecology Center is nestled in Finland, just 15 miles from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA).
This just in from Save the Boundary Waters:
Bad news: HJ 140 has passed the House of Representatives and now heads to the Senate. This resolution is Representative Pete Stauber’s attempt to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn the 20-year mining ban protecting the Boundary Waters watershed from toxic copper mining. This bill sets a precedent that any past land management decision could be vulnerable to being undone.
This does not mean a mine will be built tomorrow, but it does mean we have even more work ahead. Right now, we need you to take the next step and contact your Senators!
Outdoor Alliance:
“Stop Congress from Undoing Boundary Waters Protections!
Earlier this month, Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) introduced a resolution that would use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn protections for the Boundary Waters, clearing the way for toxic copper mining in its headwaters. This approach is unprecedented and dangerous: mineral withdrawals like the Boundary Waters protections have never been treated as eligible for recission under the CRA, and if the measure passes, it will bar all future administrative protections for the area. If mining proponents succeeds here, it could set a bad precedent that puts public lands across the country at risk.
Copper mining in this watershed would put clean water, wildlife, recreation access, Tribal treaty rights, and local economies at risk. Once polluted, these waters cannot be restored.”
TAKE ACTION NOW: Tell your members of Congress to vote NO on any resolution that would overturn Boundary Waters protections!
Boundary Waters threats: Pending legislation would turn a federal “no” on mining in the Boundary Waters into a congressional “proceed”

My Week Avoiding Ultra-Processed Foods: ‘Why Is It This Hard?’​

Emma Joyce, The Guardian:
“Before I begin I know it won’t be easy. My pantry is stocked with UPFs, from allegedly healthy crackers to chocolate and biscuits. I’m not even confident I can go a day without them, let alone a working week – especially as the rest of my household won’t be joining me.
Feeling ambitious, I called Prof Mark Lawrence from Deakin University to help me understand the difference between processed food and ultra-processed food. A rough rule of thumb, he says, is to avoid products with a long list of ingredients. Steer clear of the middle supermarket aisles, and don’t buy products made with ‘chemical-sounding’ ingredients. ‘Those are a big clue that it’s ultra-processed,’ he says.
Lawrence adds: ‘This isn’t poor behavior on behalf of most people. These products are now so engineered into our food systems … It’s really difficult to avoid them.’
Before I get started, I familiarize myself with the the Nova classification system, which lists food by its level of processing. Level one includes fruit, vegetables, nuts, milk, coffee, tea, pasta and rice. Level two is ‘processed culinary ingredients’ including butter, honey and oils. There are processed foods, such as canned fish, freshly made bread and cheeses. Four is UPF territory – processed bread, ice-cream, chocolates, energy drinks, chicken nuggets, pastries and sweetened juices. So, basically everything I have in my fridge and freezer.”

NEW BOOK

How Urban Gardens Can Bolster American Democracy​

by Sam Delgado, Civil Eats:

“When people walk or drive past urban gardens, they often just see what’s on the surface. Raised beds on a small plot. Seedlings poking through the dirt. Perhaps bright pops of colorful produce, like tomatoes or peppers.

But when Kate Brown, an environmental historian at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), looks at urban gardens, she sees a deep-rooted history of activism and sustainability—one that spans centuries, continents, and communities.

Brown distilled her research on the subject into her forthcoming book, Tiny Gardens Everywhere: The Past, Present, and Future of the Self-Provisioning City. The chapters cover feudal England, 19th-century Berlin, and early 20th-century Washington, D.C., as well as modern-day Chicago; Mansfield, Ohio; and Montgomery, Alabama, traversing time and space to illuminate their connected stories.”

Throughout, Brown reveals a common thread: Unused urban spaces disparaged by the powerful as “wastelands” were, in reality, areas where working-class and poor communities used gardening to build self-sustaining livelihoods

Hi Jimi, Saturated fat is having a moment. Keto and carnivore diet advocates claim it's been unfairly demonized. Social media influencers are telling you to eat more butter. Prominent political leaders are saying it’s time to “end the war on saturated fat.” Meanwhile, the American Heart Association, World Health Organization, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, American Diabetes Association, American Cancer Society, and American Medical Association are all saying that limiting saturated fat reduces your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Could they all be wrong? Read the article Yours for separating truth from falsehood, Ocean Robbins P.S. Not all saturated fats are the same. It turns out that the saturated fat in bacon affects your body very differently from the saturated fat in a coconut chia pudding. And what you replace it with matters just as much. Here’s what you need to know about saturated fat.

Ok here's everybody's chance



Friend,

President Trump recently weighed in on the hotly debated topic of Daylight Savings Time (DST).

President Trump wants to abolish DST and make Standard Time permanent so that there is more daylight in the morning. Others prefer making DST permanent for more daylight in the evening or continuing to change between DST and Standard Time.

How we keep time affects you personally, so you MUST make your voice heard.

OPTIMIZED MIND If you feel mentally “stuck,” your eyes may be part of the story. The 20-20-20 rule is simple: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It reduces strain and can help your nervous system come back online. Here’s a clear breakdown from Harvard Health.​

SCIENCE SNAPSHOT Topical does not always mean “surface only.” Many compounds applied to skin can reach systemic circulation if they pass into the dermis and access blood vessels. This is one reason ingredient literacy matters, especially for daily-use products. A straightforward explanation is in the National Academies review on systemic absorption after topical application.​

DID YOU KNOW? Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys are among the driest places on Earth, yet microbial life persists in extreme conditions.

NATURE CONNECTION Direct contact with the Earth’s surface – soil, grass, sand – has measurable effects on the nervous system. Research on grounding (also called earthing) shows changes in cortisol rhythms, heart rate variability, and markers of inflammation when the body is electrically connected to the ground. This is one of those rare areas where the intervention is simple and the signal is surprisingly strong. A peer-reviewed overview is available in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health on the physiological effects of grounding.​

REGENERATIVE FUTURE Speaking of soil… like in our film The Need To GROW, it is increasingly being studied as both an environmental and human health lever, not just an agricultural one. Regenerative farming practices have been shown to improve soil carbon storage, water retention, and biodiversity while also producing more nutrient-dense food over time. This approach focuses on rebuilding living soil systems rather than extracting from them. The Rodale Institute offers a clear, science-backed overview of regenerative organic agriculture and why it matters.​

HEALTH HACK Electrolytes are more than a “sports buzzword.” These charged minerals help your body regulate water balance, support nerve and muscle function, stabilize pH, and keep your heart rhythm steady. You can get them through a balanced diet of whole foods (or supplements), and your body uses them in virtually every organ system. A straightforward explanation of their roles and importance is available on MedlinePlus, the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s health resource: Fluid and electrolyte balance overview.​

Often, medical appointments are limited by time, scope, and system constraints—so they focus on the obvious: what is visible and measurable. Which means they could be missing what’s secretly influencing the body beneath the surface. That’s exactly where Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, ND, PhD has spent the last 30+ years of his career. As an integrative physician and founder of The Karlfeldt Center, Dr. Karlfeldt partners with women like you to navigate complex, chronic, and cancer-related health challenges. Over decades of clinical practice, one pattern has appeared again and again: Unaddressed parasite burden can quietly tax the immune system, disrupt gut and detox pathways, lead to nutrition deficiencies, cause chronic fatigue, and interfere with your healing…even when you are “doing everything (else) right.” Since many parasites are quiet ones—they don’t cause the “major issues”—most people don’t realize that parasites are a root cause of their unexplained health challenges. That’s why Dr. Karlfeldt, and leading expert, is hosting a FREE educational masterclass on behalf of Breast Cancer Conqueror®: Eradicate & Elevate: Understanding Parasites and How to Conquer Them February 9th at 7 PM EST This is education with intention—not fear, hype, or extremes. ✔ How parasites affect the body and healing terrain. ✔ Why they can harm immunity, spike inflammation, and block detox pathways. ✔ When parasite cleansing may be appropriate, and when it’s not. ✔ How to approach detox safely, effectively, and responsibly.​

SAVE MY SPOT!​

Then, on February 28, Head Coach De’Ann will lead a 7-Day Parasite Cleanse via Instagram Live, so we can all do it as a community! This is about root cause healing…not chasing symptoms. Come learn, ask questions, and detox together (if you need) in a supported and intentional way. Replacing fear with honest education,​

Ya know… Herbalism and community have always gone hand in hand for me. When I remember my herbal apprenticeship at RavenCroft Garden, I think of gardening, wildcrafting, and sharing meals with my herbal cohort of learners. One vivid memory is of all of us sitting in a circle laughing and talking as our fingers pulled the delicate, white hawthorn flowers from the branches we’d pruned earlier that day. Are you tired of trying to learn herbal remedy making on your own? With all the information available on the internet today it can be overwhelming to sort through and find information you can trust. Maybe you worry that you are missing critical information. And with everything we are juggling these days—the demands of work, raising kids, and just keeping up with basic home care—it can be really hard to find time to keep on track with your learning. Herbal remedy making can become just one more thing on the overlong to-do list. My own memories of herbal learning are full of joy, connection, and curiosity. This is why I’m so excited to share with you about the Rooted Medicine Circle, an online course from my friends Rosalee de la Forêt and Emily Han. (You may know them as the best-selling authors of Wild Remedies and Alchemy of Herbs.)

Two people can sit in the same hospital waiting room, get the same diagnosis, follow the same treatment plan, and still end up in two completely different places.

If you have ever wondered why, register to watch Cancer Unraveled premiering live worldwide on February 9.

Now for the part nobody says out loud.

When cancer touches your life, it is not just the appointments and the meds.
It is the mental math that never stops.

Why did this happen?
Why did it happen now?
Why does one person bounce back while another feels like they are slowly disappearing?

Most people get handed a story that starts and ends with genetics.

But the National Cancer Institute says only about 5 to 10 percent of cancers are thought to be caused by inherited genetic changes.

So for most people, genes are not the whole story. Not even close.

A huge piece is what researchers call the tumor microenvironment, basically the neighborhood a tumor lives in.

That neighborhood is not identical from person to person.

One review on the tumor microenvironment puts it plainly: “The composition of the TME varies among cancer types and among patients.” (Ren et al., 2018)

Translation: Even when the diagnosis has the same name, the internal conditions can be very different.

That internal environment is shaped by things most appointments barely have time to talk about.

Inflammation that has been simmering for years.

Metabolic stress, especially blood sugar swings and energy disruption.

Immune function that is exhausted, distracted, or suppressed.

Sleep that never feels deep.

Long-term emotional strain that keeps the body in a constant state of alarm.

This is why two people can do “everything right” and still feel like they are living two different stories.

Cancer Unraveled is built around that missing layer.

It brings together 43 integrative oncologists, MDs, PhDs, and cancer experts to explain, in plain language, what influences the terrain, what patients can measure, what questions to ask, and what supportive strategies are being used in real clinics around the world.



Most importantly, it will give language to what so many people feel but cannot explain.

If you want the missing context that finally makes this make sense, register here for the February 9 live premiere.

Active Sex Life Boosts Brain Function

Dr. Gary Small, M.D., writes:

Researchers at Coventry University in the United Kingdom found that middle-age and older people who report more frequent sexual activity perform better on cognitive tests.

The study, published in The Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological and Social Sciences, included 45 women and 28 men who completed standardized cognitive tests as well as questionnaires about their everyday lifestyle habits and general health.

Special: Why Most Male Intimacy Supplements Don't Work

The researchers could not determine whether social factors, biological ones, or both accounted for the link between sexual activity and brain health.

People engaged in sexual relations also benefit from associated social interactions that are known to benefit brain function. Moreover, brain neurotransmitters that increase with sexual activity, such as dopamine and oxytocin, may benefit cognitive health.

Gary Small, M.D., is chair of psychiatry and physician in chief for behavioral health at Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey’s largest, most comprehensive and integrated healthcare network. Dr. Small has often appeared on the Today show, Good Morning America, and CNN, and is the co-author (with his wife, Gigi Vorgan) of 10 popular books, including New York Times bestseller The Memory Bible, The Small Guide to Anxiety, and The Small Guide to Alzheimer’s Disease.
