The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic that is currently affecting the globe has literally changed our way of life as a society in such a short time period. Never before have we seen such an abrupt pause in our world. So many things that we once just assumed were stable and unchanging have now become much more appreciated in their absence.

The dramatic shift in today’s lifestyle, fear of illness, seeing and hearing of people around us suffering from the virus and being required to self quarantine are all very valid reasons to become filled with fear. However, it is important that we remain level headed and hopeful in times like these.

Feeling fear is one thing, allowing it to overcome you is something different entirely. In this article, we will highlight three points that hopefully provide some perspective on this issue and put an end to coronavirus fear mongering.

Control what you can control

One of the most obvious explanations as to why you may feel consumed by fear is the overwhelming amount of bad news pouring in from all corners of the globe. With so much despair going on around you, even knowing where to start in your attempt to help the situation can become so hopeless that you quit entirely.

It is extremely important to remember that you CANNOT control almost everything outside of your immediate environment. Don’t allow the problems all around the world to become your own personal issues. Instead, do what you can for you and your loved ones.

Heed the recommended precautions by the CDC, wash your hands and avoid large gatherings of people. By just making sure you and your loved ones adhere to the agreed upon safety protocols, you are already doing your part in the battle.

Consider this, if each and every individual were to perfectly follow all of the quarantine and hygiene recommendations, this pandemic would certainly be unable to continue on for very long. With that being said, make sure that YOU are following the rules and then rest easy knowing you have controlled what you can control.

Look for silver linings

Make no mistake about it; this pandemic is in no way, shape or form a positive situation. Apart from those that are sick and have died from the actual virus, an enormous amount of individuals are suffering as well. People are being forced to watch their loved ones fight this illness all alone due to contact precautions and even more people are without any source of consistent income.

Portraying this situation as anything but a disaster would be disrespectful to these individuals. COVID-19 is not a hoax, and enforcing safety precautions like masks and social distancing is not coronavirus fear mongering, but just basic respect for your fellow human beings.

However, in every horrible situation, there are always slivers of hope if you look hard enough. It is recognizing these silver linings that can make the difference in becoming overcome by fear or getting through this pandemic with a level head. Yes, things are bad right now, but think of the beneficial things stemming from this situation.

For example, how many of us are getting to spend quality time with our immediate family for the first time in maybe a long time? Furthermore, think about the many things we are extremely fortunate to have that we often failed to give a second thought before this pandemic.

Given that boosting your immune system and strengthening overall health is such a hot topic these days, imagine how many people have gotten a wake up call to finally put their health and fitness first from this point on.

Help if you can

Finally, one of the best ways to combat fear is through action. As we previously discussed, making sure you are doing your part as an individual in regards to stopping the spread of the COVID19 virus is certainly enough as it is. However, if you are actively following necessary precautions but still feel like you need to do more, there are certainly opportunities to do so.

Helping other people has the remarkable ability to quiet many negative emotions that we often experience in our own lives. Fear is one of these emotions. While you are not obligated in the least to do so, going out of your way to assist with any one of the many services dedicated to helping those affected by COVID-19 can go a long way in your struggle with fear.

Many of these services, such as getting food to at-risk individuals who need to avoid shopping, taking care of children currently without any supervision due to sick parents and even obtaining personal protective equipment for our brave healthcare workers are already in place and ready for your help.

Don’t fall victim to coronavirus fear mongering

It’s so easy to fall into anxiety spiral. This will all get better eventually. Life may not look like exactly how it did before, but that the nature of life. It’s always changing, and we’re always adapting. Stay safe and stay positive throughout this coronavirus pandemic. You’ve got this.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
