Quitting my TV news career has come with many benefits but perhaps none as important as how it has affected my ability to parent. My relationship with the Producer would have consisted of about an hour in the morning (stressed about what I’d cover that day) and an hour at night (still stressed about what went wrong with my report that day). I’ve started “Hold On to Your Kids” by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté and I highly recommend it. They describe the era since World War II as one where peers have taken over the role of parenting, calling it “peer orientation”. They write, “Orientation, the drive to get one’s bearings and become acquainted with one’s surroundings, is a fundamental human instinct and need. Disorientation is one of the least bearable of all psychological experiences. Attachment and orientation are inextricably intertwined.

When people get a high cholesterol diagnosis, the doctor often says “stay away from high cholesterol foods like eggs.” This doctor is uniformed due to massive corporate food & pharmaceutical spending. When someone has high cholesterol, it is almost always due to eating processed carbs/sugars and other inflammatory items like processed seed oils or glyphosate. The body’s natural healing response to this inflammation is to produce cholesterol. Stress can also cause this reaction. Dietary cholesterol is almost 0% of that # you get from the lab. Our bodies, especially our brains, need cholesterol. The bad medical advice is how we got a country where 1/3 of the entire population is on statins and almost 50% of men over 75 take the drug. According to a study done by UCLA, patients studied with early mild cognitive impairment taking ...
Thankfully my dad loves chocolate. Plus he gave me the recipe so we know he likes this kind! I had 34 bars leftover from the farmer’s market. Time to make some more!
