No health protocol can compare to touching grass. To going outside and touching the warm sand or the cool earth. To creating for creation's sake. Learning for learning's sake. To just doing things for the fun of it. You don't have to optimize an experience for it to be valuable.

The ultimate summer fruit

The vibe I'm bringing to the function this summer

Want to avoid sunburn without chemical sunscreen? Less PUFAs. More vitamin C & vitamin E.

Normalize talking about vitamin C in summer as well as in winter. It's so much more than just immune support.

Whole food vitamin C is a girl's best friend.

You need to be vitamin C-maxxing. Whole lemon drinks (@BioavailableNd). Marmalade. Hibiscus tea. Freshly squeezed OJ. Kiwis (skin on). Seasonal berries. Acerola cherry.

Synchronicity > Coincidence. Everything is orchestrated exactly how it’s supposed to be. If it doesn’t happen how you want it to, then it wasn’t meant for you.

@Tallowtwins Fig season might be one of my favorites

My algorithm has me dangerously close to making some fig toast.

@befrtil Do you have a recommended brand?

Just an acerola cherry girl in an ascorbic acid world (iykyk)

Common sweet cherries? ~15mg of vitamin C per cup. FRTIL's 100% acerola cherry Vitamin C? 320mg of vitamin C per serving.

The sun is not the enemy. Humans are bioelectrical beings. Every heartbeat, nerve impulse, and cellular process relyies on electrical activity. Sunlight is a powerful environmental signal, helping regulate circadian rhythms, hormone balance, energy production, and countless physiological functions.

You can just eat your sunscreen, you can just do things

Want to protect your skin from sunburn without toxic sunscreens? Limit polyunsaturated fatty acid intake from food, yes. But also watch out for the PUFAs hidden in your skincare... - Sunflower oil - Grapeseed oil - Soybean oil All commonly used even in "natural" or "clean" skincare brands because they're cheap, abundant, and easy to formulate with. But they're no different to the canola oil in food. Unstable. Pro-inflammatory. Easily oxidized. And will accelerate skin aging.

Synthetic and whole food vitamin C are chemically identical. But that's where the similarities end. Most synthetic vitamin C is derived from GMO corn and contaminated with glyphosate. They also often contain fillers and other unnecessary ingredients. Whole food vitamin C is single ingredient. Full of phytochemicals, cofactors, and micronutrients that enhance how the vitamin C is absorbed and used. Synthetic vitamin C might dominate the market, but whole food sources are the answer.

Need vitamin C supplementation? We highly recommend @befrtil Acerola Cherry powder 3rd party lab tested for heavy metals, microbials, and vitamin content labtestedfoods.com
