Happy Saturday!!

Today's meditation is 10 minutes unguided. We're increasing from doing 5 minutes unguided to 10 minutes from a couple days ago.

Really focus on your breathing here and enjoy the benefits of this meditation!

Coffee & tea: why should we worry about these sources?

Sadly, because these are such concentrated sources they tend to accumulate heavy metals and pesticides from the region they're grown in. Mold is another toxin found in coffee & tea that you should be aware of too! Unfortunately, its more common that not to find these toxins in most products.

This is why it's important to check for companies that test for these! Usually if a company does, they will display their third party testing on their website to show you their transparency.

There are a few companies I love that will third party test for these:

Coffee: Purity is my absolute favorite! Code DRPEACOCK20 for 20% off.

Tea:

• Pique tea: code DRPEACOCK for 5% off
• Encha tea
• Mountain Rose Herbs
• Homestead Apothecary

When it comes to tea, always opt for loose leaf. Steeping a single plastic tea bag at brewing temperatures releases billions of micro plastic into a single cup.

Kidneys:

Today's fun fact and food of the day revolve around the kidneys!

Hydration and filtered water are key for optimizing this organ.

Other ways that support our kidneys is through a plant based diet: this ensures good blood flow to the kidneys, and excessive protein (from animal products) can overburden them.

A urine that is more alkaline allows toxins be filtered out more efficiently (this ties back into a plant based diet!).

Happiness & health,
