Back in the 1800s, one of the most hotly contested “celebrity” feuds was between two French chemists: Louis Pasteur and Antoine Béchamp. Chances are, you’ve only heard of one of these scientists, which means that he ostensibly “won” the debate. This is true, but it does not tell the full story, or even come close. Pasteur and Béchamp were fighting about germs, also known as microbes or microorganisms.

“Amino acids are the tiny but mighty building blocks of protein,” Shaw says. “Not only are they responsible for helping your body break down food, but they also provide support for tissue repair and growth, hormone function, enzymatic reactions, and more.”Plus, any amino acids that aren’t used to make protein can be used for energy when you’ve depleted other fuel sources, Ake says. This way, your body doesn’t have to dip into your protein stores during long workouts.

During winter, our bodies want to hibernate. We sleep more, eat more comfort foods, and spend more time indoors. Come spring, when nature awakens, so do we. We might need less sleep and feel energized to give the house a good cleaning. Yet for some of us, the pendulum swings too far: Spring energy turns into agitation, moodiness, irritability, and insomnia. We might think of having seasonal affective disorder (SAD) solely as being tired, sluggish, and depressed during the winter.

I’m never quite prepared for our annual government-sanctioned exercise in sleep deprivation. March reliably delivers Daylight Saving Time, and yet it never fails to catch me unaware and drag me from my comfortable sleep schedule into some yawning chasm of circadian confusion. Last week’s changing of the clocks proved to be no exception. I retired on Saturday night around 10, as I normally do, and woke as usual around 7 — except it was 8.

Sleeping on rocky, root-covered ground isn’t understood to be one of camping’s signature joys. But the year I opted for a cabin vacation rather than wilderness paddling, I missed nights in the tent the way a dog misses its absent owner. I felt huge relief crawling back into my sleeping bag on the following trip. Scientific research into the practice of earthing (also called grounding) offers some explanation for that relief.

Jacqueline had gone through therapy and been on antidepressants for years, yet she still felt numb, stuck, and disengaged. She was struggling to move past childhood trauma and had become disconnected from her emotions. She wasn’t quite sure how to regain that connection, but she knew antidepressants weren’t doing the trick. “I need something different,” she told me. After nearly a decade practicing traditional talk therapy, I began integrating ketamine into my practice in 2023.

Let’s start with a statement so obvious that it seems beside the point: Whatever we do in this life, others do too. Whether it’s playing sports, parenting, cooking, sealing a deal — you name it — other people are engaging in the same activity, and some of them are going to show up in our world. For many people, it’s easy to celebrate the fact that others are engaged in our pursuits — we can feel fellowship with them, learn from them, or take them under our wing as students.

The heart is an amazing organ. It works nonstop and it never complains — until it does. Then we learn how sensitive it is and how much it depends on good nutrition to do its job. The brain is even more sensitive and complex than the heart — and less tolerant of nutritional imbalance. An improperly nourished brain complains vigorously via poor concentration, fatigue, and a bad mood.
