I’m sure you’ve heard of the term hangry; right?
It’s a combination of the words hungry and angry.
You probably know it as that irritable, short-tempered state that seems to take over when hunger strikes (often before you even know you’re hungry!).
I was curious about what causes this hangry phenomenon.
And what I found is absolutely fascinating, so I had to share it with you.
Glucose drops can lead to being hangry
When you go too long without eating, your blood sugar (glucose) levels start to dip. Since glucose is your brain's main source of fuel, this can lead to brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and yes, irritability.
Hunger spikes stress hormones
When you’re hungry, your body releases stress hormones, including cortisol and adrenaline, which prepare your body to defend itself. But in the absence of an actual threat, this rise can lead to excess energy, causing restlessness, irritability, and a loss of self-control.
Hanger strikes hardest when you’re primed with negative feelings
Your gut produces many of the same mood-regulating neurotransmitters that your brain does. When you're running on empty, your brain is more likely to perceive neutral stimuli as negative or threatening, increasing your reaction.
So I’d love to know your hangry story.
Do you get quiet, snappy, or anxious?
Do you notice it first, or does someone point it out to you?

1.) Liver Health: the dandelion, or Taraxacum officinale, is an incredible detoxifier. It contains potent oils and bitter resins that folk healers and doctors have prescribed for liver health for centuries. It also helps to maintain the proper flow of bile while stimulating the liver -- this is the beginning of a positive feedback loop, or upward spiral, which promotes proper digestion. This in turn decreases the chance of constipation, thus leading to a lower chance of developing more serious gastrointestinal problems.
2.) Anti-Aging: the root and leaves of the dandelion are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and Luteolin, which prevent free radical damage to our cells and DNA. This is believed to substantially slow the aging process...

Hi Jimi, Parasites are far more common than most people realize, and two special foods can help you to eliminate the threat where many natural approaches fall short. Plus, many thyroid problems do NOT begin in the thyroid, and there's one overlooked health issue that explains why so many people stay stuck for years. |
Hi Jimi,
Did you know your body has a built-in detox system designed to protect you and even help lower your cancer risk?
The truth is, most people don’t really know how this system works, and I completely understand why.
It’s just not something that gets talked about much in a typical doctor's office.
Usually, the focus is on "managing" symptoms instead of supporting your body’s natural ability to clear out toxins.
Discover how to support your body’s natural detox process and reduce your toxic load here.
You see, taking care of your body isn’t just about what you eat or drink.
While that matters, there’s a big piece of the puzzle that many people miss.
It’s about how well your body can actually process and get rid of the toxins you face every day.
When you support this system properly, it takes a huge weight off your body and helps you build a foundation for long-term health.
In today’s world, we’re exposed to more toxins than ever before, through our environment, food, and everyday products.
Over time, this buildup can place stress on the body and interfere with how it functions.
That’s why it’s so important to understand how detoxification actually works, and how to support it in a way that aligns with your body.
To help you better understand how this works, and how you can safely detox at-home, I created a complimentary guide called:
"The Essential How-To Guide to Detoxing Cancer Cells."
Inside, you’ll discover:
How your body’s natural detox systems support your defense against cancer.
Why many detox approaches fall short when it comes to long-term cancer support.
Simple daily habits to help your body clear toxins that may contribute to cancer risk.
And how reducing your toxic load can help create a stronger foundation for long-term health and resilience.
What you’ll learn about here isn’t extreme protocols or harsh detoxes that can cause more harm than good.
It’s about learning to work with your body in a way that’s simple, sustainable, and effective.
Download your no-cost copy of "The Essential How-To Guide to Detoxing Cancer Cells" and see how you can flush out toxins naturally.

Ever thought: “I want to grow my own medicinal herbs, but I have no idea which ones or what to do with them”?
You’re in good company!
We have a lot of people wanting to start herb gardens this year…but deciding which plants to grow and how you can actually USE them isn’t something a simple Google search can answer.
That’s why we’ve roped in herbalists Kaylee Richardson and Jill Ragan to join us for a free, online webinar. They’re going to show us which plants they recommend growing first, how to grow them, AND how to actually harvest and use them for yourself and your family.
Kaylee and Jill both have extensive herb gardens and home apothecaries. They’ve been studying herbalism for years, and can help you get started even if…
...you've tried growing herbs before and killed them.
...you don't have much space.
...medicinal herbs feel complicated or intimidating.
...you wouldn't know what to do with herbs once you grow them.
Under their guidance, you’ll learn how to start simple with just a few essential herbs and use them effectively, instead of ending up with a bunch of struggling plants you don’t know what to do with.
Every time you make a cup of tea or prepare a tincture from your herb garden, you’ll know what you're putting into your body and why—because you planted it, tended it, and harvested it yourself.

It’s Thursday, and The HighWire is live today with an episode that cuts straight into some of the most urgent health questions of our time. As President Trump pushes forward on 6G expansion, Jefferey Jaxen reports on the growing concerns around radio frequency radiation, the lack of meaningful safety testing, and what this next wave of wireless infrastructure could mean for public health. He also breaks down the latest on paraquat, the toxic herbicide linked to Parkinson’s disease, and the new Farm Bill provisions critics say could hand even greater protection to pesticide manufacturers. Then Del sits down in studio with Dr. Stuart Fischbein, a leading voice in natural birth, to explore how modern medicine transformed childbirth and why more families are rethinking what safe, empowered birth can look like. From hospital norms to home birth, this is the conversation for anyone preparing for children, raising a family, or questioning the fear-based model surrounding birth and maternal care in America. In today’s episode:

It’s time for a reality check. Not all “good” habits actually work well together. You can be doing a lot right on paper,, but if those inputs don’t align, they can start interfering with each other. Here’s some classic examples
If you make every wellness choice in isolation instead of looking at how things interact, your body pays the price. That’s also why I thought this was worth sharing. | |

STOP THE 2026 FARM BILL
Farm Bill Would Enable Factory Farm Cruelty and Foreign Control
Hidden in the 2026 Farm Bill is Section 12006—a provision that would wipe out animal welfare laws in 15 states overnight.Laws that voters passed by wide margins to ban the cruelest factory farm practices: pregnant pigs crammed in cages so small they can’t turn around, chickens packed into wire battery cages, calves confined in veal crates.
But Section 12006 goes further. It would block states from passing any new animal welfare laws, creating a race to the bottom that undoes over a decade of progress. Who benefits? Foreign corporations like China’s Smithfield and Brazil’s JBS that control our meat production and don’t want to follow our animal welfare standards.
This isn’t just about animal cruelty—it’s about who gets to decide how our food is produced. Section 12006 hands that power to foreign corporations while stripping it away from American voters and states.
TAKE ACTION: Stop the 2026 House Farm Bill, Including Section 12006 that Strikes Down Animal Welfare Laws!

The Plastic Detox Review – A Film So Terrifying You Will Want To Change Your Life Immediately
Jack Seale, The Guardian:“Get up, after a restless sleep. Shower, using products that contain plastic and are in plastic containers. Fix your hair and deodorise your body using sprays smoothed by plastics, before putting on clothes woven from synthetic (plastic) fibres, picking up your plastic phone and heading out, sipping water from a plastic bottle. Chew plastic gum. Buy a snack wrapped in plastic and receive a receipt printed on plastic-covered paper. Come home, take food out of its plastic packaging, cook it with plastic utensils, then store the leftovers in plastic tubs and clean up with detergents that contain plastics and come in plastic bottles. Clean your teeth with a plastic toothbrush and plastic-infused toothpaste. Go to bed.
The list of ways in which humanity is committing species suicide may be long and growing, but The Plastic Detox is here to suggest that room should be found for the overwhelmingly widespread use of petrochemical-derived plastics.
That’s the main concern of this documentary’s protagonist, epidemiologist Shanna Swan, whose 2021 book Count Down claimed that chemicals in plastic are a factor in falling sperm counts. Swan, a vibrantly bustling grandmother of six and great-grandmother of a precious one, hooks us in with an experiment flavoured by reality TV. Visiting Florida, California, and Idaho, she finds six couples who are struggling to conceive, and challenges them to live for three months with their exposure to plastics dramatically reduced.”
After all this doom, Swan’s final visits to the six couples reward us with happy tears: her admittedly small-sample experiment has produced startling results, including some that go beyond being pregnant or not
MENTAL HEALTH
Dusking: The Dutch Twilight Ritual Helping People Slow Down
by Emily-Ann Elliott, BBC:“Welcoming dusk is a meaningful ritual in many cultures. In Japan, the yūyake song observes twilight. The Balinese tradition of matahari terbenam marks a moment of sunset contemplation; while in Sweden, the concept of kvällsro reflects the peaceful calm of evening. For writer and night-sky enthusiast Marjolijn van Heemstra, the Dutch custom of ‘dusking’ — pausing to watch the day fade into darkness — is about restoring attention to the world around us.
‘In many places we have a crisis of attention,’ she says. ‘People have a lot of problems focusing on things because there’s so much happening at once. But the crisis is much bigger for the world around us. If you don’t know a tree, even if it’s in front of your house, because you never take the time to look at it, you don’t mind it being cut. So, it’s about seeing things and trying to establish a relationship with them and then maybe caring for them.'”
Revived by a Dutch writer, the simple ritual of “dusking” – quietly watching the transition from day to night – is spreading beyond the Netherlands as a way to reconnect with the natural world

U.S. Approval of GMO Wheat Threatens Farmer Livelihoods and Public Health
by Sustainable Pulse:“A new report from Friends of the Earth raises alarm over the U.S. government’s recent approval of HB4 genetically engineered (GMO) wheat, warning that it could pose serious risks to public health, the environment, and U.S. farmers’ livelihoods, while offering no proven benefit. The approval of HB4 wheat marks a critical turning point: after decades of public opposition and trade concerns that kept GMO wheat off U.S. fields, consumers now face the prospect of herbicide-tolerant wheat entering the food system. However, it is not currently being grown commercially in the U.S. Friends of the Earth is calling on companies and consumers to reject HB4 GMO wheat before it enters the market.
Developed by the Argentine biotechnology firm Bioceres Crop Solutions, HB4 wheat is engineered to tolerate the toxic herbicide glufosinate ammonium. Glufosinate is banned in the European Union because it poses risks to human health. It is also linked to negative impacts on soil and ecosystem health.
Read why companies and consumers should reject genetically engineered wheat and support proven, sustainable solutions. Organic farming and traditional breeding protect climate, biodiversity, and food security — without toxic trade-offs.
TAKE ACTION: Tell General Mills To Reject GMO Wheat!
NEW BOOK
When the Forest Breathes: Suzanne Simard on Regeneration and Relationship
Bioneers:“Forests are not collections of individual trees. They are living communities shaped by cooperation, memory, and cycles of renewal that stretch across generations.
In her new book, When the Forest Breathes, forest ecologist Suzanne Simard deepens the groundbreaking work that transformed our understanding of forest ecosystems. Expanding on the research she first brought to wide public attention in Finding the Mother Tree, Simard offers both a scientific and personal vision for how forests regenerate and what is lost when we disrupt the relationships that sustain them.
Drawing from decades of research, as well as close collaboration with Indigenous communities whose stewardship practices long recognized forest interdependence, Simard challenges the industrial model of forestry that treats trees as isolated competitors. Instead, she reveals a dynamic system in which older trees support younger ones, nutrients and information move through underground fungal networks, and kinship influences growth, resilience, and survival.”
At a moment when wildfires, drought, and extractive practices threaten forests worldwide, this passage underscores the book’s central insight: that resilience is rooted in relationship
NEW STUDY
One Exposure. Twenty Generations Later, the Damage Is Still Unfolding.
Pamela Ferdinand, U.S. Right to Know (USRTK):“A single exposure to a toxic agricultural fungicide during pregnancy can echo through 20 generations — with inherited disease risks from kidney disease to infertility not fading, but worsening over time, according to groundbreaking research published Tuesday.
The study, which appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, tracked rats whose ancestors were exposed in the womb to vinclozolin, a fungicide once widely sprayed on turf grass and fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, raspberries, lettuce, and grapes, including wine grapes. Researchers found that chemical changes that regulate how genes are switched on or off in developing embryos and throughout life — known as epigenetics, or ‘epimutations’ — remained altered in sperm 23 generations later.
Later generations showed more severe disease, declining fertility, and lethal birth complications than earlier ones. In some generations, mothers and entire litters died during childbirth. Just as striking, researchers also found a small number of rare DNA mutations.”
The study also underscores a regulatory blind spot, since traditional toxicology focuses on direct toxicity and genetic mutations

Undigested Fruit Sugar Is Linked To Increased Anxiety and Inflammation
by Karina Petrova, PsyPost:“A recent study published in the journal Brain Behavior and Immunity reveals that an inability to properly digest fruit sugar is linked to increased anxiety and body-wide inflammation. The research suggests that unabsorbed fructose alters the community of bacteria in the digestive tract, which then triggers immune responses that can affect the brain.
These discoveries offer new insights into how our modern, sugar-heavy diets might be influencing our mental health. The human digestive system relies on specific transport proteins to absorb fructose into the bloodstream. Think of these transporters as specialized doorways lining the small intestine. These doorways can only let a limited amount of sugar through at one time.
When someone consumes more fructose than their intestinal doorways can handle, the excess sugar continues moving down the digestive tract. It eventually spills into the large intestine. This condition is known as fructose malabsorption.”
The results showed that sixty percent of the volunteers had fructose malabsorption
ENVIRONMENT
Long Overlooked as Crucial to Life, Fungi Start to Get Their Due
Jim Robbins, Yale Environment 360:“Fungi create soil, sequester vast amounts of carbon, and contribute $55 trillion to the global economy, but knowledge about them is scarce. Now, mycologists are pushing to get the international scientific community to recognize fungi on the same level as plants and animals.
Mycologists refer to fungi as ecosystem engineers because they perform essential roles. Approximately 80 percent of terrestrial plant species partner with fungi, according to a number of studies. Ectomycorrizal fungi, for example, form a dense, protective sheath around the root tips of trees, including oaks, beeches, and pines.
It’s a symbiotic relationship: The fungus provides the tree with nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, from the soil, in exchange for carbohydrates produced by the trees through photosynthesis. Fungi increase the surface area of trees’ root systems, allowing them to live in nutrient-poor or even toxic conditions.”
Fungi are getting a good deal more attention in some quarters these days as scientists learn more about — and publicize — their role
