The Vital Art of Movement: A Journey Through Body and Soul

Running around 20 miles a week, I feel nature’s rhythm—like a doe gliding through the woods—echoing Rudolf Steiner’s belief that movement bridges body and soul. Inspired by Chris Heria and ThenX’s AMRAP circuits, Pam Reif’s HIIT energy, and Phase 6 Fitness’s functional strength, plus Lagree and my Bowflex VeloCore, I’ve built a routine that’s more than physical—it’s a spiritual awakening.

Natural Relief for Seasonal Allergies: Herbs, Vitamins, and More

Spring’s here, but for allergy sufferers, it’s sneeze season. Luckily, nature’s got your back with herbs and vitamins to ease the misery. One standout? Butterbur. This marsh plant’s been used for centuries, and studies show it blocks histamines as well as some antihistamines like Zyrtec—without the drowsiness. (Just grab a PA-free version to keep it safe!) Pair it with classics like stinging nettle, quercetin, and vitamin C for a natural allergy-fighting crew.

My current fave? Herbal Immune Balance Sinus from Garden of Life. It’s loaded with 100 mg of PA-free butterbur, 250 mg of whole-food vitamin C, 1,000 IU of vitamin D3, and 5 billion CFU of Saccharomyces boulardii probiotics—plus elderberry and ginger for an immune boost. Two capsules a day, and my sinuses feel clearer than ever. Want to try it? Start early before pollen peaks, and check with your doc.
