For the 5th seed, I'm covering the "doorway effect"

Memory is a big concern for people. There are many things that can impact memory. Some of those things are concerning, and others have explainable causes. Today, we're looking at one normal memory phenomenon

4th week of Seeds! Starting to get the hang of this. It's such a shift to go from being mostly just clinical to being a business owner and trying to understand social media. It's all been such a roller coaster of emotions but it's also been such a great experience to increase access to direct primary care in the area.

Why does caffeine affect everyone so differently?

This week’s Seed looks at genetics, caffeine metabolism, tolerance, and why that afternoon coffee may still be hanging around at bedtime—even if you feel like you can sleep just fine.

As parents/caregivers/employees so many of us aren’t taking the time for ourselves. When was the last time you learned a new skill? Learning things, getting outside your comfort zone is excellent for brain health. Also, don’t forget to have fun- so important!!!

When you’re picking out a new pair, look for 99–100% UVA and UVB protection (or UV400). Good UV protection can help reduce your risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, corneal sunburn, benign skin growth, and some cancers around the eye.

You don’t need expensive sunglasses to get good UV protection. The UV rating matters more than the price tag. Polarized does not mean better UV protection, only that it helps reduce glare.

In general I try to avoid snacking, but in a pinch, these are my go-to minimally processed convenience foods. Bonus- my kids will eat them too!
1. Crunchy broad beans. 6g protein, 16g carbs, 4 of which are fiber! Yes, they do have maltodextrin and seed oils 🤷🏻‍♀️
2. Crunchy shiitake mushrooms. Full of umami and also a great stand-in for chips! 6g of fiber! Probably why I can eat 18 servings of Doritos but can only manage 1-2 servings of these 😉
3. Lupini beans. 3g carb (all fiber!) , 4g protein
4. Crispy apple chips. Just apples (and cinnamon if you are so inclined)!
5. Flackers. 9g fiber! These are great with hummus
6. Seaweed crunch with nuts. More processed than the rest. Delicious.
7. Dried seaweed. So much umami deliciousness!
8. Dried crunchy corn

What are your favorite minimally processed packaged foods?

Seed 3 : Antioxidants get a lot of attention, but a high “antioxidant” score in a lab doesn’t always tell us exactly what will happen in the body.
Our bodies have to digest, absorb, and metabolize the compounds in food first, so the real-life health effects can be much more complicated than a number from a test tube.
The takeaway: don’t stress about finding the “best” antioxidant food or the latest superfood. What we do know, some studies show diets that are rich in whole plant-based foods are associated with better long-term health outcomes

We don't care about your weight! Your body composition is a much better predictor of heart disease and diabetes.
