Dear friends,

If you’ve recently found yourself wrapped in blankets, fighting off a stubborn flu, cough, cold, or fever, or just navigating that vague heaviness of feeling “off,” you’re not alone. When our vitality dips, it’s natural to reach for quick fixes. We want to feel better, fast.

Painkillers, antibiotics, even invasive treatments promise rapid relief and sometimes they deliver. But often, they come at a cost: lingering side effects, a foggy system, harmful toxins, or deeper imbalances that can do more harm than good in the long run. What if there’s a better, more holistic way to take care of our health?

For thousands of years, nature has whispered her remedies through the leaves, roots, and flowers of this earth. Ayurveda, the ancient system which can be translated as ‘The Science of Life’, reminds us that true healing is not about suppression; it's about support. It invites us to attune to our body’s (and nature’s) rhythms, to nourish our inner fire, and to awaken the wisdom within. With the combination of healing herbs, daily routines and a deeper understanding of our own body, we don’t just fight illness, we cultivate resilience, deepen our connection to the world around us, and reinforce our body’s natural defenses from within.

Ayurveda is an ancient way of living that started in India and has been helping us achieve balance and wellness for centuries. It invites us to see our body, mind, and spirit as one interconnected whole, encouraging us to tune into nature's rhythms. By learning about our unique dosha, or body type, Ayurveda guides us in tailoring our diets, routines, and self-care practices so we can truly nurture ourselves. It encourages us to slow down, listen to our body’s wisdom, and create balance in every aspect of life. Ready to explore?

In Ayurveda, Ojas is the essence of immunity; the subtle energy that governs vitality, strength, and resistance to disease. A weak Ojas leads to low immunity, fatigue, and frequent illness, while strong Ojas helps you stay energized, balanced, and resilient.

By incorporating these immune-boosting ingredients into your daily diet, whether in teas, curries, golden milk, or spice blends, you support strong digestion, improved detoxification, and overall wellness.

Women’s health is not a one-size-fits-all journey. It’s a living, breathing dance with nature herself. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, just as the tides rise and fall, and just as the seasons change, so too do our bodies move through sacred cycles of transformation, rest, renewal, and power. To live in alignment with these rhythms is to reclaim a birthright that has too often been forgotten: the right to deeply know ourselves, to honor our intuition, and to embrace the wisdom woven into our wombs and hearts. When we begin to sync with these natural flows - through food, herbs, rest, movement, and ritual - we don’t just heal. We radiate.

If you’ve been yearning for a deeper connection to the divine feminine within you (or within someone you love), you’ll be touched by this powerful conversation between Bre and Hwaneetah, a member of our medicine family in Ecuador. Together, they explore the sacred mysteries of feminine energy, the long-lost truths of cyclical living, and how intuition is not something to silence but to celebrate. Episode 2 with Hwaneetah just dropped this week and it goes even deeper into the sacred feminine energy you were never taught to harness. Don’t miss it if your soul is craving nourishment, truth, and a path back to your inner feminine sanctuary.

Building a resilient immunity comes from nourishment, breath, and movement. Our diet is everything we consume, including food, breath, thoughts, and energy. Trust in nature’s wisdom to keep you strong.

With gratitude,
Bre & Flo

PS You might have noticed that you received a slew of emails from us with a handful of free eBooks last week. As we're working on setting up our tools to provide you the best resources, it wasn't intentional that we sent them all at once. Whoops! We apologize for hitting your inbox so much but we hope you were able to read through some of them and enjoy those freebie goodies.

Note: We have lived a fully plant-based lifestyle for nearly a decade, raising our two boys the same way. While traditional Ayurvedic practices include some animal products, we have found that plant-based alternatives offer the same benefits while aligning with the yogic principle, "May all beings everywhere be happy and free." That said, we acknowledge that in some cases, medical intervention is necessary, and every individual should make informed choices that best support their health.

⚖️ Thanks for making it all the way down here, wonderful human! Now go treat yourself; maybe a little self-massage before you jump into the next thing? Your immune system will thank you{{first_name}} ! ⚖️
