					<description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Don Colbert &#8211; Summer is a time for family vacations, road trips, and getting out into God’s beautiful creation. But for many families, travel also means fast food, poor sleep, stressed-out schedules, and catching unwanted bugs along the way. I want to share 7 powerful habits you can practice while traveling that not only protect your physical health but also nourish your spiritual well-being. As believers, we’re called to honor God with our bodies and our choices—and that doesn’t stop just because you’re on vacation. Let’s look at some simple yet strategic habits to help you and your family stay healthy, energized, and connected with God during your travels. 1. Pray Before You Go This might sound simple, but many families forget to spiritually prepare for travel. Just like you plan your itinerary, plan your mindset and invite God into the trip. “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:6 Pray together before leaving. Ask for protection, peace, and purpose in your time away. This centers your trip on something greater than relaxation—it aligns it with God’s purpose for your family. 2. Pack (and Snack) with Intention Most people overeat junk food when traveling because they didn’t prepare. High-sugar and processed snacks can lead to gut issues, fatigue, and poor mood—especially for kids. Pack healthy, travel-friendly options: Grass-fed beef sticks Raw nuts and seeds Low-sugar protein bars Freeze-dried fruits or veggies Divine Health’s MCT Oil Powder for energy and focus Bonus: Bring Fiber Zone to support digestion and keep everyone regular while on the road. 3. Keep a Spiritual Rhythm Don’t let vacation be a break from God. Keep your family’s spiritual rhythm, even if it’s shorter or simplified. You might: Do a quick devotional over breakfast Listen to audio Scripture or worship music while driving Share one thing you’re thankful for each day It’s not about being perfect; it’s about staying connected. 4. Stay Hydrated, Especially in the Heat Dehydration is one of the most overlooked reasons people feel tired, anxious, or irritable during travel. Carry refillable bottles and consider adding electrolytes (especially in hot or high-altitude destinations). Avoid sugary drinks that dehydrate. Filtered water + sea salt + lemon = a simple homemade electrolyte boost. 5. Support Your Immune System Planes, gas stations, restaurants, and hotels expose your family to more pathogens. While you can’t avoid germs, you can support your immune defenses. Travel with: Zinc Vitamin D3 (especially if you’re not getting daily sun) A glutathione booster like NAC or liposomal glutathione to support cellular detox and antioxidant defenses Zone Biotics Probiotic for gut health A greens powder rich in antioxidants, like Green Supremefood, to help bridge the nutritional gaps on the road These simple additions can help your body stay resilient under the stress of travel. 6. Move Often &#038; Rest Well Sitting in a car or plane for hours isn’t great for your circulation or digestion. Build in stretch breaks, walking time, and playful movement wherever you can. At night, create a simple routine to wind down: turn off screens, dim the lights, stretch, and pray together. Sleep is when your body detoxes, recovers, and resets. 7. Choose Purpose Over Perfection Some days won’t go according to plan. You’ll forget something. A child will get cranky. That’s okay. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s purpose. Let your health and faith choices reflect that. “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31 By anchoring your travel in healthy habits and God-honoring priorities, you help your family stay grounded and joyful. 🧳 Dr. Colbert’s Travel Essentials These are the must-haves I pack every time I travel: Fiber Zone Zone Biotics Probiotic MCT Oil Powder Nano-Glutathione or NAC Vitamin D3 Green Supremefood Quality supplements pouch + filtered water bottle You don’t have to bring your whole pantry—just the right tools to keep your energy, digestion, and immune system strong. Final Thoughts Family travel can be a blessing or a burden depending on how you approach it. By combining practical health strategies with a spiritual mindset, you can transform even a short trip into something meaningful and restorative. Your family will come back not just with memories, but with better health and a deeper sense of connection—to each other, and to God. To your health, Dr. Don Colbert, MD To read the original article click here.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Caroline Leaf &#8211; In this podcast (episode #485) and blog, I talk to bestselling author, editor and journalist Adam Bornstein about his latest book You Can’t Screw This Up, the mental health benefits of enjoying food, the science of self-perception, the power of releasing mental baggage, why most diet plans fail, and so much more! Adam is a New York Times best-selling author and an award-winning fitness and nutrition journalist and editor. Named &#8220;one of the most influential people in health&#8221;, Bornstein is the CEO and founder of Born Fitness. Previously, he was the editorial director for LIVESTRONG.COM and the fitness editor for Men&#8217;s Health magazine. His first book, The Impact! Body Plan, was a fitness bestseller, and that was followed by The Men&#8217;s Health Diet (with Stephen Perrine), The Women&#8217;s Health Big Book of Abs, and The Men&#8217;s Health Big Book: Getting Abs. Adam has articles featured in publications such as The New York Times, ESPN the Magazine, Forbes, and Fast Company. He also has a monthly column in Men&#8217;s Fitness magazine called &#8220;Learn It.&#8221; Bornstein has appeared on Good Morning America, The Early Show, and E! News. He also blogs at bornfitness.com to discuss all topics related to health, fitness, and nutrition. As Adam notes in his book You Can’t Screw This Up, the diet industry is great at making us follow more diets, not making us leave dieting behind. But why is it that the more diet books and nutrition information we publish, the more unhealthy we become? What is going on here? We tend to associate health with extreme cost and sacrifice. However, even though change can be hard, improving our health doesn’t have to be painful. This has warped our belief on what it takes to become healthier. But the reality is that we don&#8217;t need another restrictive, unrealistic plan. We need tools that help us enjoy what we eat (including takeout!) and be healthier at the same time. In his incredibly easy-to-follow book, Adam gives us these tools, showing us how upgrading our health and losing weight for good requires us to turn our back on the typical dieting culture by following successful habits and frameworks not typically seen in nutrition and fitness. As Adam notes in his book, once we learn a better way to build healthy habits, we can leave behind the shame and guilt of most plans and make the healthy lifestyle changes we’ve been chasing. Our ability to create healthier habits relies not on abandoning our comfort zone, but expanding it. This means doing some things that are new and challenging, while keeping some things that are old and familiar, based on where and how we thrive as individuals. Yet one of the biggest barriers to this approach is our self-perception. So many of us have a mental boundary when it comes to food and health. Diets have taught us to expect a level of perfection and adherence that is not realistic or possible, and we end up just waiting for failure to come. Dieting culture has also taught us to measure success using ephemeral things like a number on a scale, counting calories or eating superfoods, which only add to our stress. This, in turn, affects how we feel mentally and physically, impacting our ability to become healthier and taking away from what we should really be focusing on: what we think of ourselves. Self-perception plays a key role in our ability to change our behaviors and improve our health When we want to change, we can’t just wait to become motivated, take action and change. The research on behavioral change shows us that we need to start with our relationship with our selves. If we don’t think we can be healthy or succeed, or if we do not fundamentally like who we are, then we are setting ourselves up for failure even if we experience short term success. Improving our self-perception starts with understanding what it truly means to be healthy. This means being vulnerable with ourselves, having self-compassion, and developing a positive self-perception; it is the understanding that “I am a healthy person, I am just figuring this out as I go along.” We know we are not a finished product; we are works-in-progress, not failures. This starts with setting small, easy goals, which are the foundation of successful behavioral change. Dieting tends to throw people in the deep end and then makes them feel weak for failing. However, when we set small, attainable health goals, we are far more likely to reach our goals and feel empowered to continue moving forward—the research consistently shows that success breeds success. We can go fast by starting slow! It is also important to remember than no diet works for everyone. Different ways of eating work for different people. Research shows that the key factor when it comes to healthy eating is what is sustainable—the way of eating we can maintain for the longest period of time. The question isn’t what food we need to remove or what dietary tribe we need to follow; rather, it is what is sustainable for us in the short and long term. For more on healthy habits and dieting culture, listen to my podcast with Adam (episode #485) and check out his amazing book You Can’t Screw This Up.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Don Colbert &#8211; Every new year, you have a blank calendar before you. You have amazing opportunities to choose your dreams, goals and habits. You can also choose to support your health. You can make it a Healthy New Year! What do you want 2022 to be for you? How can you end 2022 healthier than you’re starting? Here is a month-by-month guide. Go through it quicker or slower, but use it to hit some of the hallmark goals for a healthy new year. Use this guide as a reference as you set your goals, and then move through healthy habits each month. JANUARY: DETERMINE WHAT YOU WANT IN YOUR HEALTHY NEW YEAR One of my favorite things about a New Year is the new beginning. To me, it feels like a gift. A blank story laid out before me, and I get to write the chapters. In January, take some time to decide what you want your 2022 story to be. Some people might call these goals or resolutions. I recommend starting with dreams and adventures. What do you want to accomplish? What dream do you want to make a reality? Is there an adventure you want to tackle? Write these down. Then, write what you need to change in your life, schedule or habits to accomplish them. Some tips for this part include: Dream Big. Shoot for the stars. It’s okay if it takes more than one year. But, aim for something that motivates you and puts a smile on your face. Determine if there’s one change you need to make in order to make it possible. Do you need to wake up 15 minutes earlier? Do you need to prioritize your own health? Do you need to set aside 20 minutes per day to start writing that book? Usually, there’s one big shift that allows other habits to flow more easily. Name the habits needed to accomplish your dream. Do you need to take class? Eat differently? Locate a friend? Be specific here. Are you stuck? Do you have a hard time sticking to new habits? No problem! Here are some great, actionable tips to help you! Whatever your goals and dreams, go for it! January is for new beginnings and an optimistic outlook for a New Year! FEBRUARY: NO EXCUSES – PRIORITIZE SLEEP Believe it or not, one of the best healthy habits you can develop is more sleep! Why? Sleep is one of the strongest immune-boosters available to you. It can support your immune function through your lymph system and help your body restore itself each day. In fact, it allows your body and brain to recoup, restore, and fight chronic illness. During sleep, your immune system releases cytokines which both promote sleep and fight illness. When you are awake, your body must do the work of being awake, moving, and maintaining an active brain. This takes most of its resources. When you are asleep, it can do maintenance on your body (1). Studies have found that sleep also promotes heart health, brain health, normalized blood sugars, and healthy blood pressure (2). What’s more, it encourages healthy moods and mental health, especially in the winter months  (3). That’s a lot accomplished from this one change! To learn tips for improving sleep, check out thisarticle. MARCH: REVAMP YOUR DIET Of course, healthy habits have to include a great diet. If you’re ready to really support your health, from head to toe, consider getting into the Keto Zone® this year and adding intermittent fasting. First, the Keto Zone can help you obtain a healthy weight, omit harmful sugars, reduce carbohydrates, support healthy blood sugars, and support heart health (4, 5). The best way to get started is to get the book: Dr. Colbert’s Keto Zone Diet Book. You will find how to cut carbs and get into ketosis. Then, continue to follow our posts, recipes, Facebook groups, and more to keep going. You can also join our FREE 21-Day Keto Zone Challenge! To help you get into ketosis quickly, make sure you add Keto Zone® Instant Exogenous Ketone Powder. Exogenous ketones can boost energy, vastly reduce ketone flu, and slow cell aging (5). Then, you can take it a step farther and enjoy the benefits of intermittent fasting. Here’s a simple way: To fast 15-16 out of the 24 hours per day, finish eating at 7 pm each day, and fast with only non-carbohydrate liquids (like coffee) until 10 am or so. Then, utilize Keto Zone eating for 8 hours per day. There are many documented benefits to intermittent fasting. In fact, study after study has shown that intermittent fasting benefits body systems often affected by aging, including brain health, heart health, and blood sugars (6). APRIL: DRINK UP AND ADD ICE Drinking more water is a simple habit, but not necessarily an easy one.  Throughout your day, drink 80 ounces or more water. It’s important to your health! In fact, one study found that increasing water consumption by 2 liters per day improved skin condition and physiology, even in those who already consumed high amounts of water (7). It can also improve digestive health, reduce incidence of headaches, reduce stressful moods and feelings of overwhelm, and boost metabolism (if you’re drinking ice-water) (8). Next, you can use ice-water in an altogether different way. Try ice-water showers (or at least a cold blast during your shower). Why? When your body is exposed to very cold water, it uses brown fat cells to warm itself. These cells are extremely advantageous for metabolism. What’s more, ice-cold showers have been found in studies to activate “white fat” by making it act more like “brown fat”(9). In time, your body will naturally burn more calories the more brown fat you have. Studies have also found that ice-cold plunges reduce sick days (10). MAY: GROW A GARDEN OR AT LEAST GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY While you may think the only benefit of gardening is the food you harvest, there’s actually many healthy benefits when you put your hands in soil. In fact, studies have found that gardening is a great stress reducer and promotes feelings of calm and well-being (11). What’s more, gardening is a great excuse to get outside and be active. Take advantage of the time using your muscles and increasing vitamin D production from the sun. Of course, the harvest is great, too. When you add more greens, herbs, and vegetables to your diet, you consume the same components plants use to grow and flourish, like chlorophyll. You can get these amazing components from your bounty or Divine Health® Organic Fermented Green Supremefood®. Plant compounds are great for plants and humans alike (12)! JUNE: GET MOVING AND GET OUTSIDE There are so many great options for exercise and movement. The key is to find one you love, you look forward to, and get your body moving! If you don’t know what you love, try walking, running, yoga, aerobics, classes, biking, hiking, swimming, lifting weights, or others. And, if you can, get outside! Whether it’s just a short walk or a ride on a bike, God has given us a huge gift: the outdoors elevate our moods. Not only is any activity good for our muscles, hearts, and brains, outdoor-activity specifically has been shown to improve mood and depression (13). What’s more, if the sun is shining, your body will make Vitamin D, an immune- stimulating vitamin, while enjoying the immune-enhancing benefits of exercise itself (14). JULY: CHECK YOURSELF – ARE YOU LAUGHING EACH DAY? Let’s add a joyful habit. Laughter. Have you ever wondered why we laugh? Why did God give us this gift? It is an amazing health-promoting habit. The more you can build laughter into your daily life, the more you’ll reduce cortisol, improve your mood, and decrease depression (15, 16). These, in turn, will encourage healthy immune function. Interestingly, multiple studies show that the benefits of smiling and laughter are experienced whether it’s real or fake. So, fake it if you need to, and get in a good belly laugh each day. AUGUST: CONNECT WITH OTHERS At least once per year, make sure you feel good about your connections. Far-away friends, local friends, family, and groups. God has created us for relationships, and they are important for overall health and healthy immune function. In fact, positive relationships can improve your mood and decrease stress. This, in turn, can promote a strong immune system (17). To maintain relationships even when you can’t always be with each other in-person: Invest in the relationships within your household, neighborhoods, and towns. Head to a park for a pick-up game, watch movies together, take walks, invite friends for simple gatherings, and create other ways to make great memories together. Stay in touch with loved ones however you can. Write letters and send cards. Use technology to video-call, send videos to friends, and keep in touch. Social media can be a negative addiction if left unchecked, but it can also be a great way to feel a sense of community if you’re away from loved ones. Be proactive and initiate re-connections if you’d like! Maintain the relationships that are important to you. It’s good for your health and immune function! SEPTEMBER: ADD NATURE’S BEST STRESS-RELIEF Almost every habit on this list reduces stress. Reducing stress is a foundational health habit that promotes health throughout your body (17). It’s a top habit for your healthy new year You can take it to the next level. In addition to healthy daily habits, add nature’s best stress relief. It’s Hemp Oil. Hemp oil, specifically nano-particle oils like those in Dr. Colbert’s Nano-Science Hemp Oil, promotes health across the body’s systems. It is a broad-spectrum hemp oil that is organically grown, vegan, and GMO-free. In terms of health, Hemp Oil has been shown to support healthy, stable moods (18), promote stress relief and normalized cortisol levels, support comfortable, healthy joints (19), encourage healthy sleep habits (20), promote healthy skin with fewer irregularities and blemishes (21), support healthy brain and nervous system functions (22), and encourage healthy cardiovascular functions and normalized inflammatory actions (23). What an amazing oil for overall health and stress! OCTOBER: STRETCH FOR A YOUTHFUL BODY AND A HEALTHY NEW YEAR Stretching and maintaining (or improving) flexibility can literally change your body and your life. Amazingly, just 3-5 minutes of stretching can be enough. Stretch in the morning or before bed. Believe it or not, as you gain flexibility in your spinal cord, you’ll improve your posture, range of motion of your limbs, and support cardiovascular health. There’s more. It turns out that trunk flexibility directly represents the flexibility of your arteries. As crazy as it sounds, researchers have found that poor trunk flexibility is associated with stiff arteries. This means that keeping your body flexible enough to touch your toes means better artery health and blood pressure (24). NOVEMBER: LET GRATITUDE AND OPTIMISM RULE If you’re interested in your health, let gratitude and optimism rule. One great way is to start (or restart) a gratitude journal. You may have started one during the Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season in previous years. Or, this idea may be new to you. Gratitude journals, focusing on small daily blessings, are powerful. Being grateful is associated with better mental, emotional, and physical health and immunity (25). To start a gratitude journal, first simply get a pen and a paper, or a journal. Next, write 5-10 “gratitudes” per day. They can be big or small things. You can write them throughout the day, or at the beginning or end. It’s time to let gratitude rule. Choose to focus on simple gratitudes each day as one of your new year lifestyle habits. DECEMBER: PRAY THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR A HEALTHY NEW YEAR Prayer is not a last-ditch effort for health or spirituality, but a foundation for your relationship with God. It also affects your mental health, physical health, and entire well-being. In fact, prayer releases control from you and...</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Don Colbert &#8211; There’s something about summer. It simply feels like the best season to form healthy habits. It seems easier and more natural during warm, light-filled days. If you’re ready to make a change, and make this your healthiest summer ever, we’ve got the top super-charged habits to help you. These habits are not complicated, but they may be life-changing. They are simple and easy to add to your lifestyle. In fact, most of them require just a small change in behaviors you’ve already established. Why not get started today? 7 Hacks to Make This Your Healthiest Summer Ever 1. Make It Ice Water There are actually 2 ways ice water can help you make this your healthiest summer ever. First, drinking ice water keeps your body cool during the hot summer months while improving calorie burn. How? Ice water is much colder than your body temperature, and your body must burn calories to warm it up. While this may seem like a negligible metabolism increase, it can add up to significant calorie burn. In fact, mathematically, every 64 ounces of ice-water you drink should require 61 calories (burned) to warm up. Over a week, this can add up to almost a 500 calorie deficit. In studies, drinking 16 ounces of ice-cold water per day actually increased calorie output by about 100 calories per day (1). While the studies are small in scale, they suggest ice water offers calorie and metabolism benefits. The second way ice-cold water can make this your healthiest summer ever is by exposing your body to it. When your body is exposed to very cold water, it uses brown fat cells to warm itself. These cells are extremely advantageous for metabolism. What’s more, ice-cold showers have been found in studies to activate “white fat” by making it act more like “brown fat(3).” In time, your body will naturally burn more calories the more brown fat you have. Easy Summer Hack Plan: This summer, drink at least 16 ounces of ice-water per day. Then, either shower or plunge into ice-cold water as often as possible. 2. Grow a Garden for Your Healthiest Summer Ever While you may think the only benefit of gardening is the harvest, there’s actually many healthy benefits when you put your hands in soil. In fact, studies have found that gardening is a great stress reducer and promotes feelings of calm and well-being (2). What’s more, gardening is a great excuse to get outside and be active. Take advantage of the time using your muscles and increasing vitamin D production from the sun. Easy Summer Hack Plan: Plant your own garden, herb container-garden, or join a community garden. No matter how you do it, you will reap benefits beyond the food itself. 3. Eat Delicious Seasonal Fresh Produce Like Greens and Herbs Ever feel like winter’s ingredients are less than inspiring? Well then, summer foods are for you! Take a look at your garden or the produce section in your local grocer. It’s brimming with fresh, in-season, healthy foods. In fact, when you add more greens and herbs to your diet, you can consume the same component plants used to grow and flourish: chlorophyll. In addition, vibrant and brightly colored vegetables and fruits offer a vast array of phytochemicals, antioxidants, and other health-promoting nutrients. Try: Delicious Fresh Herb Sauces. A delicious parsley-based sauce like Keto Zone®  Chimichurri or Fresh Basil Pesto is perfect for any summer meal! Vibrant Salads and Green Vegetables. Greens are amazingly nutritious foods that are highly anti-inflammatory and health-promoting (3). Try eating a green salad with heart healthy extra-virgin olive oil every day.  Fresh Low-Carb Summer Fruits. With a bit of portion control, fruits like berries can fit into a Keto Zone® lifestyle, and they are ripe and flavorful in the summer. Berries support healthy blood pressure (4), deliver loads of antioxidants, and promote overall health. Lemons and limes are also great for you, adding vitamin C, antioxidants, and more. Divine Health Organic Fermented Green Supremefood® and  Organic Red Supremefood®. A great way to add even more organic greens and fruits to your diet is through Divine Health’s delicious organic fruit and vegetable powders. They are great-tasting and easy to add to water, tea, smoothies, and more! Easy Summer Hack Plan: Add 1-2 servings of Organic Red and Green Supremefood® to your daily routine, cover half your dinner plate with fresh greens, and try a new herb-sauce this summer! 4. Add Variety by Drinking Tea Tired of plain water? Make the switch to tea for part of your daily fluids. Beyond providing great hydration on hot summer days, black and green tea offer amazing health benefits for your eyes, brain and entire body. In fact, black and green tea support cellular detox, the fight against oxidative stress, normalized cortisol, increased calorie burn, healthy blood pressure and cholesterol, brain health (3), oral health, and a fiery metabolism. What’s more, you can get double the benefits when you add Organic Fermented Green Supremefood® to your tea or other foods during the day. It contains Green Tea Leaf Extract for a fermented, potent healthy green tea source. Easy Summer Hack Plan: Drink 16 ounces of green or black tea per day, preferably ice-cold. Consider adding 1 scoop of Organic Red and Green Supremefood®to your tea. You just might get 3 habits in 1! 5. Move Your Workout Outside Summer is one of the best times of the year for outdoor activities and exercise. Not only does it promote heart health, but being outside also supports mental health and enhanced  mood. Studies have found that activity outside improves health markers and supports healthy cortisol. This means less tension, fatigue, and depressed moods. Amazingly, it may also help you exercise more consistently. One recent study concluded that men and women over 66 years who exercised outside reported higher levels of total activity per week than inside-exercisers (5). 6. Take an Evening Walk In addition to an outdoor workout, make this your healthiest summer ever by getting outside for an evening walk after dinner. Why? First, walking always burns calories and supports heart health (6). Moreover, timing a walk after dinner can help normalize post-meal blood sugars, reduce evening stress, and encourage optimal sleep. 7. Follow the Sun There’s really no better time to work on your own 24-hour daily cycle and circadian rhythms than summer. You can make this your healthiest summer ever by aligning your wake and sleep times with the sun. Artificial light is a known issue for sleep cycles. Since most of us are inside much of the day, stay up far past sundown, and stare at blue screens like computers and phones, our circadian rhythms can easily become “off balance.” It’s no wonder. We live in a world with fast-paced, busy schedules and often need artificial light throughout the year to get everything done. However, in the summer, we’ve got the opportunity to use more natural light and align our days with sun-up and sun-down. You’ll find a natural-light cycle can support healthy sleep, which in turn supports brain, immune, hormone, and whole-body health. How to Make These Healthy Habits Stick Habits are best added one at a time until you master each. To make these habits stick for your healthiest summer ever, add one per week over the next 7 weeks. Focus on each for 7 days, and then add the next. You can make small changes to super charge your summer, and then continue them to turn your healthy habits into a healthy lifestyle. Bottom Line Summer is a wonderful time to add healthy habits to your life. These top 7 tips can take your health from mediocre to supercharged! Try them for the next 7 weeks and experience the difference. Add great foods and ingredients like Organic Red and Green Supremefood®.
