What does the science say about INSULIN RESISTANCE? Are Low-Carb diets effective for preventing or reversing insulin resistance? And perhaps most importantly, why is the American Diabetes Association publishing articles on how to meal-prep beef?

![Living with Depression😔 [[What I Eat in a Day 🍊HEALTHY + VLOG]]
Depression affects many of us, even if we pretty much never talk about it and only post happy stuff on Facebook. But feelings of depression are reality and (much of the time) feeling down, uninspired, and a bit hopeless is just part of life. Especially life on a planet whos future is questionable with so much pain, suffering, and hatred being perpetuated in the name of profit and fear. I feel you.
This awesome beat was created by the ever talented Aziz who can be found on instagram @musicmaker982_ https://www.instagram.com/musicmaker982_/

Your best health and most content self is achievable through a healthy lifestyle, centered around abundant whole plant foods and genuine self-care. It’s achievable if you gather the common-sense information, cut the bullshit, and commit to your wellbeing as a real priority.
I also encourage us all to acknowledge our inherent responsibility to protect our environment (currently being decimated by animal agriculture: the leading cause of green house gas emissions) and speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves: the billions of sentient beings who are tortured and slaughtered every year. OUR CHOICES MATTER.
