Daily Five By Carolyn Brown
1. Wake-Up Water
Drink 16 oz first thing, before breakfast or coffee, to start your day on a hydrated foot. I typically add an organic greens powder or lemon slices, but the water is my wellness non-negotiable to start my day.
2. Outside O’clock
I left nyc after 12 years for a nature and space infusion in Boulder, CO. Getting outside into sunshine & nature for at least 20 minutes a day — no phones allowed — is my favorite anti-anxiety and de-stress tool.
3. Monthly Acupuncture
Monthly acu helped heal my cycle and painful and emotional period symptoms. Our Indigo offices in Stamford & Westport offer acupuncture & herbs for everything from fertility to migraines.
4. Couples Therapy
The best gift my partner and I have ever given each other is one hour a week (sometimes 2) of total focus on our relationship, with the help of a therapist & intimacy expert. The benefits of learning one another’s attachment styles & “parts” (from Internal Family Systems), thinking through our life & family vision, and openly talking about sex has had a ripple effect far beyond our relationship. 10/10 recommend.
5. Winner Winner Earlybird Dinner
I love a simple, homemade, early dinner. Giving your body time to digest before bed helps all your other regulation processes, from hormones to immunity to memory. I aim for 2-3 hours food free before zzzz’s.

Rose Harissa BBQ Chicken with Turmeric Slaw
When we think of the perfect 4th of July menu, there’s a few things that come to mind. You’ve gotta have the classics, like burgers and hot dogs, pasta salads, and potato salads, of course, but we also recommend adding a few surprise ringer items to your menu. It’s the skewers, the summer-y salads, the cheesy dips, and the vegetarian options that always have people clamoring for more.
Boost Hydration and Circulation with The Hero Ingredients of Summer
Adequate hydration is key for optimal health as it supports digestion, muscle function and performance. Superficially, it also plays a big part in helping shedding excess weight, reducing bloating and achieving a glowing complexion, big focus items for many during summer time. This works by aiding circulation, which is vital for blood and oxygen flow throughout the body.
The Ketogenic Diet – An Overview and How to Include it In your Everyday Life
The keto diet limits carbohydrate intake and focuses on consuming a larger ratio of high fat and a moderate amount of protein. The goal is to change from burning the glucose from sugar into burning the ketones from fat and by lowering the amount of carb intake your body instead starts to use fat as your main source of energy.
