Are you getting any of these incredible vegetables? How Many Real Plants Did You Eat Today? When we talk about eating more fruits and vegetables, it is easy to picture a salad at lunch, broccoli with supper, and an apple somewhere in between and think we've done fairly well. But this week's Casaroma challenge is asking you to look at your food a little differently — not just at how much plant food you're eating, but how much variety is actually showing up throughout your day.

We tend to think of our nails as cosmetic. We polish them, file them, complain when they break,and don't give them much thought otherwise. But take a good look at your nails. Like your skin and hair, they can sometimes give us clues about what is happening inside the body.

But digestion plays a much bigger role than most realize. It sits quietly at the crossroads of stress, inflammation, and energy . When it’s under strain, the effects show up everywhere—not just in the gut. If you’re eating well but still feel tired, inflamed, foggy, or heavy, digestion is often where the sto

If you’ve asked yourself this question, you’re not alone—and you’re not failing. I hear this all the time: “I eat well. I avoid processed food. I use natural products. I take supplements. I’m trying so hard… so why do I still feel tired, sore, puffy, inflamed, and worn down?” Underneath that question is usually something deeper than frustration. It’s discouragement. And sometimes even self-doubt. Because when you’re doing everything you’ve been told is “right,” and your body
