There are moments in the year that invite us to stop long enough to listen.

Killa Raymi, the September celebration of Mama Killa — the Moon — arrives around the equinox, a threshold of balance: light and darkness, masculine and feminine, what is ending and what is beginning.

In the Andean agricultural calendar, this is also a time of sowing.

Seeds are placed into the earth and entrusted to Pachamama, to water, time, weather and care.

Perhaps something in your own life is asking for that same attention.

— What are you ready to plant now?
— What deserves...

The exchange brings together native English speakers and native Spanish speakers so that each group can practice the language they are learning. If English is not your native language but you are still interested in learning Spanish, don’t worry—you are more than welcome...

These nutritious treats are made with chicken, which we source from local family farms.

For the safety of your dogs, our dehydrated chicken feet have their nails clipped off.

Pick one specific attribute you’re most willing to spend at least 6 months focused on exclusively (strength, muscle mass, aerobic endurance, fat loss, etc.) and then write down what you think a good program looks like for improving that specific attribute.

Step 2:

Now all you need is a cheap, reliable way to test your performance in the thing you want to improve.

For strength use an 8 rep max test on a few key exercises. For aerobic performance choose a distance and time yourself. For muscle mass have someone measure the circumference of the muscles you’re most...

You finally get comfortable in bed. You are tired, ready to sleep, and everything feels fine — until you turn over. That familiar ache catches you in the hip. You pause, adjust your leg, and try the other side. Maybe it settles down, so you go back to sleep. Then it happens again the next night, and again.

Over time, something as simple as turning over in bed can become something you start thinking about before you even fall asleep. When your sleep suffers, you may notice the effects during the day too — more stiffness, less energy, and less...

If you have COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, or breathlessness that keeps you from doing what you used to do, pulmonary rehabilitation is one of the best-supported treatments in respiratory medicine — and it isn’t a medication.

An honest word about what it does: it will not change your lung function tests. What it reliably improves is how breathless you feel, how far you can walk, and how much of your life you get back. For most people, that is the part that matters.

I completed my medical degree this year, graduating near the top of my class, and I have...
