Commune with Jeff Krasno

Think about your hormones like a symphony. When every instrument is in tune, they play a lovely song. If just one instrument is out of tune or one hormone is out of balance, you hear it — and you feel it. This hour-long excerpt from Dr. Jolene Brighten's Commune course, Balance Your Hormones will give you an overview of your primary hormones and how they interact with your mood, weight, skin, and overall health and vitality. Resources: Take the Hormone Balancing Quiz at onecommune.com/hormone-quiz. Take the whole course with a free 14-day Commune Membership trial at onecommune.com/trial.

You don’t exactly “get protein from eating protein.” Some two hundred thousand proteins are synthesized by your cells using 21 amino acids — nine of which are not made endogenously in your body. So, you need to consume these nine essential amino acids. But do they have to come from meat? And what are the physiological impacts of eating meat? This spontaneous, bonus Commusings was published on Instagram by @jeffkrasno. You can also follow Commune @onecommune.

This week's essay is from our beloved bon vivant Laurie-Beth Robbins (“LBR”), a regular Commune contributor who drinks life straight from the firehose. Today she asks us some bold questions about how we are living: Are we coming from a place of heart or fear? Are we genuinely proud of who we are? Would we want to date ourselves? The answers are yours to shape. Commusings is our Sunday morning newsletter where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, and culture.
