What I’m talking about is Cracking Your Clan’s Code. Cracking Your Clan’s Code is about codifying your family values to design the household, future, and relationships you want to experience - day in and day out. Our clans, or families, operate under a set of shared assumptions that influence our unspoken values. I grew up with a family-wide assumption that eating ice cream while watching a screen before bed was a fun family time. And it was!...

If you were raising on Corn Flakes and cow's milk from the grocery store, chances are your parents didn't instigate seasonal detoxing for the household.

I hate to admit it, but I’ve only recently gotten a handle on metabolizing cellulite. And if you haven’t yet experienced this, let me tell you — it’s pure joy to metabolize your own cellulite. I had excessive meda dhatu — fat tissue (see Dr. Lad’s table below). We’ve all had that experience in life where too much = poor quality. Now, it’s not like I carried much extra weight or had handfuls of cellulite. But, between...
