Eating fermented foods is an excellent way to increase beneficial bacteria in the gut to support the microbiome and lower levels of inflammation triggered by disease.
Add 1-2 cups of Epsom salt to a warm bath and soak for at least 20 minutes to support detox. I also like to add a few drops of essential oils like lavender to create a relaxing spa-like experience.

Gentle movement like yoga helps you to reap the benefits of exercise without spiking your cortisol levels.
My personal favorites are Alo Yoga, Boho Beautiful Yoga, and Jessica Richburg.
The 4-7-8 breathing technique involves breathing in for 4 seconds, holding the breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds. It helps to calm the body down and bring it into a parasympathetic state, reducing anxiety and promoting restful sleep.
Pro Tip: I love to do a few rounds of 4-7-8 breathing before eating to activate a rest-and-digest state.

If you don’t have time to make your own bone broth, look for Bonafide Provisions, Bare Bones, or Kettle & Fire for clean, organic, high-quality bone broth.
