“We are volcanoes.

When we women offer our experience as our truth,

as human truth, all the maps change.

~~ Ursula K. Le Guin

 

Greetings to all my precious people!!

 

We are volcanoes. What an amazing statement to proclaim!

Not flowers. Not gentle streams. Not soft background music while men do the important work.

Volcanoes.

  • Food can reduce risk (primary prevention).
  • Food can support treatment alongside medical care (adjunct therapy).
  • Food can change symptoms by affecting inflammation, blood pressure, lipids, glucose, the gut microbiome, and even brain signaling.

“If I just fixed that one thing, I’d finally feel OK.”

~~ Kate Gies

And I want to ask you a question that might make you uncomfortable:
