10h ago33:35

33:35

Stress and anxiety are often used interchangeably, but they’re not the same — and understanding the difference matters.

28:32

In a world full of filters, AI fakery, and half-truths, telling the truth has become a radical act. We often say “Nothing’s wrong” when something always is. We hide behind curated images, polite answers, and put-together masks. Jacob did the same—his whole life was built on deception. He tricked his father Isaac, cheated his brother Esau, manipulat…

What if there were tests that could determine which foods to add or subtract from your diet for optimal health?
