Last week, the Trump Administration, prompted by a request from Alaskan state officials, proposed to roll back Clinton-era rules regarding construction and logging in nationally protected forests.

Someone in your office is doing “Whole30” this January, and they’re likely telling everyone about it.
And if you haven’t heard anyone talking about it… then it might be you.
If you haven’t heard of it (and you weren’t listening while your coworker explained it), “Whole30” is a month-long exclusionary diet. For 30 days, you cut out soy, dairy, grains, alcohol, legumes, and added sugars.
So… probably most of what your regular Western diet consists of. The idea is that after 30 days, a participant would slowly start to introduce food groups back into their diet, so that they can see which foods may have been secretly irritating them or causing discomfort. Sort of like the idea behind the FODMAP diet for those with bowel issues.
A lot can happen in 42 days.
Habits form, people fall in love, zucchinis grow.
And according to recent research, the bacteria in the gut microbiome changes after only 42 days — or six weeks — of exercise. That’s without changing your diet, medication, or anything else.
A burgeoning field of study, the gut microbiome has been scientifically verified to impact almost every area of a functioning life…
Our moods, skin quality, digestive health, energy levels, appetites, propensity towards diseases, and much more.
During our waking hours, we’re told to consider our posture. Our form when we’re exercising. How we lounge when we’re watching TV.
We’re told that it’s vital to concern ourselves with our spinal alignment, that we can seriously injure ourselves if we’re not careful, and that anything from the functioning of our organs to the number of migraines we get can be affected by something as simple as positioning.
It turns out that the same is true for our sleeping hours!
