Hi, guys! Who else is super excited that it’s officially summer? Woohoo! It’s time for BBQs, swimming, and long hours of fun in the sun! Speaking of that last thing, when was the last time you checked out the label on your sunscreen? Conventional sunscreens might be protecting you and your family from the sun, but you’ll also be applying a whole bunch of harmful chemicals to your skin. Yikes. To start, some studies have shown that the chemicals in sunscreen can mimic human sex and thyroid hormones. While the FDA hasn’t investigated common sunscreen ingredients for harmful effects, the Danish EPA did so in 2015 and found that most of the ingredients (16 out of 19) didn’t have enough information available to determine whether or not they’re safe. One major ingredient, oxybenzone, a chemical found in most commercial sunscreens, triggers skin allergies and mimics estrogen when absorbed into the body (and it can be absorbed into breast milk).

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader.

I wanted to be a healthy, fit woman so I obeyed this advice. The problem: this “healthy” lifestyle was making me feel decidedly unhealthy. I was constantly tired, sore, constipated, gassy and bloated. (On a side note, when I spoke to my gynecologist about my digestive issues she ac...

^^He has so much energy! We went to T’s soccer game the other night, and he had a blast running up and down the bleachers and onto the field (in between the two small-side games). Good thing he likes oatmeal for breakfast to fuel him up!! I made a big batch of whipped banana with peanut butter for us all. I’ve been eating up leftovers for lunch, like this ravioli with spinach tomato sauce and parmesan cheese which I had while catching up on the second-to-latest episode of Nashville ! I had some goldfish as a snack, and we enjoyed this Cook Smarts summer soup for dinner. I used rotini instead of orzo since I had some in the pantry, and the pesto was the best part! I was thrilled that Mazen seemed to like it too. He kept saying, “I looooove pesto” while eating! Mommy is happy that Mazen is eating well, and also that a new shipment came from the Winc wine club ! I always throw in a few extra bottles because if I’m going to have to sign for wine at the doorstep, ...
