We had our second session of the Wild Collective last night and I was blown away by the commitment and vulnerability of each member! We discussed detoxification; not only from toxins, but also from negative emotions, thoughts, relationships or unhealthy habits.

Happy Friday! Here is a short article that outlines 7 Fun Tricks to Drink More Water. I have recommended the "elastic band" method to patients, but I ask them to put the elastic bands on the top or bottom of their glass and move them down or up as they empty a glass. (I also don't recommend juice). I am loving sparkling water with doTERRA's lemon essential oil (only a few drops) to mix it up in the afternoon. Thanks to Rebeka Ly from Addo Living for the essential oils. What is your favourite way to hydrate? https://www.womensrunning.com/.../tricks-drink-more.../....

As a parent and when cooking, I definitely can get too many of these in if I am not paying attention. Aim to only eat while sitting down. Focus on portion sizes.
