I'm still here! We just finished the Jewish holidays of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. The Jewish holiday of Sukkot begins this evening. It is a 7 day holiday, so once again, I will be here sporadically. I hope everyone has thought about the change coming to my communities. I hope that all of you stay! I really don't want to archieve this community. With that said, I have also started another community under the Simcha umbrella. I will be sharing it later today. Thanks for your support and patience!

Look down at his shoes Before you make fun of his shoes... Black Converse high-tops. 😂 I love him 🤣 It's like he's saying: "Science is serious. Dress code is optional." Or... "I've got a Ph.D. in Nuggets, but I'm still cool." Did you know? Nearly 70% of your immune system is associated with your gut. Your microbiome, those trillions of beneficial bacteria living in your digestive tract, does far more than help digest food. It plays a role in: - Immune health - Brain function and mood - Inflammation - Metabolism - Protection against harmful microbes When the microbiome becomes unbalanced, your body may begin sending subtle signals like fatigue, digestive discomfort, brain fog, skin issues, or frequent illness. The good news? Your microbiome is constantly changing. Every healthy choice you make, from the foods you eat to the quality of your sleep, helps shape its future. Functional medicine doesn't just ask, "What's wrong?" It asks, "Why is it happening?" The microbiome is often one of the first places to look.

In honor of Father's Day, list some things your dad says or used to say. Here's a few my dad used to say: 1. When I say jump, jump, and on the way up ask how high. 2. Use your head for something besides a hat rack. 3. You are who your friends are. 4. The answers no, now what do you want.

I lost my little Mazel today. I've been watching her closely over the past couple of days, knowing something was off. She was still eating and drinking. She was using the litter box but all of a sudden she couldn't hear me. She went deaf overnight. Today she had an episode of incontinence and wouldn't move. Picking her up was like picking up a rag. Then she started panting like a dog. Then she went into full-blown respiratory distress. She is now with my son, Simcha and the rest of my pets. I'll miss my little girl. 🥹🥹
