Geaux with your gut!
Gut health is so important because the age-old adage “you are what you eat” holds profound truth. Your food choices are directly linked to your physical, emotional and social #health – and your gut health has a significant role in orchestrating these processes.
Gut microbes are the community within you that you can’t live without – how eating well can cultivate your microbial and social self
Nurturing your gut microbiome can go hand in hand with nurturing your social community, with health benefits all around.

The collapse of traditional insurance models due to climate change could pose a threat to financial markets beyond wildfire-affected areas. An economist explains why a new paradigm is needed to prevent another financial crisis like 2008. https://buff.ly/42r0ndN 🌎 #climatesky #LAfires
