Jackfruit Carnitas
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Use a towel to pat excess liquid from the jackfruit, then add it to the pan and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes or until the jackfruit has dried out somewhat.
Add about 2/3 of the spice blend to the pan. Stir and cook for 60 seconds or until fragrant. (Reserve remaining spice blend to season to taste at the end of cooking).
Add the orange juice, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, and liquid smoke. Stir to combine.
Simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is cooked off. Season to taste with additional salt, spice mix, and top with fresh lime juice. Serve hot.

Air Quality & Training
With air quality concerns of smoke, and ozone in the air, it's worth checking into before deciding whether to run (or train) outdoors. Ask some of these questions to make the choice that is best for you and your health.

Digestion & Stress
Friendly reminder: your body is still overburdened with stress! Poor digestion is making it worse.
Do you experience bloating or gas?
Do you struggle with constipation and/or diarrhea?
Do you frequently have heartburn?
While a lot of these things are common, they are 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥. If you answered 𝐲𝐞𝐬 to any of these questions, your body has added stress from poor digestion.
And it’s a vicious cycle because your body must be in a parasympathetic state (relaxed state) for digestion to take place. So if you’re constantly stressed or stimulated, you won’t digest, and not digesting adds more stress. Yikes!
So how do we improve digestion?

Sounds - Earthly Embodiment
Find a sit spot (a space close to nature that has limited distractions) and take this audio with you. Take 10 minutes to feel this embodiment, invite what your body needs. Take 10 minutes to reflect in a way that allows this invitation to flow through you. It could be journaling, painting, drawing, dancing, whatever you feel called to do. Finally, take 10 minutes to make yourself tea, coffee, or pour a glass of water. Do this all without screens and give yourself time to be.
