Is there a balance to be had here?

There is so much information everywhere from the minute we wake up. Radio, mobile phones with updates pinging from socials, news apps and others, tv… and that’s potentially all before you’ve even finished your morning cuppa.

No wonder we’re overstimulated, anxious, stressed and exhausted! Your nervous system does not know the difference between the ping of another notification, a news bulletin about another vile attack or a rabid animal running at you.

Obviously there is some balance to be had as it can be important to stay abreast of what’s happening in the world but where do we draw the line? Can we mitigate some of the detrimental effect on our health?

What are your thoughts on this?

I’ve experienced a visceral change in how I feel, mentally and physically since finishing the wild biome project month - despite eating a largely whole food diet I have still felt some benefits diminish.

In a side quest to understand this I am starting by doing an ingredient challenge.

This week I’ll be tracking and recording every “ingredient” that isn’t a food or ingredient I can buy that goes into my body. I’ll also be trying to keep track of how I feel after meals and generally through the day.

It would be lovely to have you join me, (please do tag me in any posts so I know!) and next weekend I’ll do a little update and publish my list from the week.

Let’s do this!

Each has a long history of traditional use, and on Sunday 11th we’ll meet them (and others) in person on my guided Herb walk.

Note: Never eat or use anything you can’t 100% identify and be mindful of location and foraging laws.

All of a sudden we’re at the end of the month!

To say it’s been a learning curve would be putting it lightly. I really thought I’d prepared but I had not, but out of necessity comes growth and I’ve learned more and more each week; where each plant is growing, where is easier to pick, what I prefer to eat, how best to cook it… the list goes on. I now have a huge mental map of where all my food plants are to add to the wild herbal medicines map that I started with.

It’s been tough, fun, lonely at times, frustrating, enlightening, empowering, cleansing both physically and mentally and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I’m so grateful to have had this experience and be part of the important research data that this project collects.

For now I’m very excited about bacon, avocado, bananas, curry, roast dinners and a cheeky cheeseboard and glass of decent red w**e 🍷

Cheers to all my fellow wild biomers and congratulations for getting to the end 🙌🏻
