The Circle has healing power.
In the Circle, we are all equal.
When in the Circle, no one is in front of you.
No one is behind you.
No one is above you.
No one is below you.
The Sacred Circle is designed to Create Unity.
The Hoop of Life is also a Circle.
On this hoop there is a place for every species, every race, every tree and every plant.
It is this completeness of Life that must be respected in order to bring about health on this planet.
~Dave Chief, Oglala Lakota
It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. Audre Lorde
Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. Langston Hughes
Michael J. Wilkinson, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.N.L.A., explores the science and clinical evidence behind intermittent fasting and its role in promoting cardiometabolic health. He explains how aligning eating patterns with the body’s natural circadian rhythms can improve weight, blood pressure, glucose regulation, and other risk factors, especially in individuals with metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes. Wilkinson highlights promising results from time-restricted eating studies conducted in collaboration with UC San Diego and the Salk Institute, where narrowing the daily eating window led to improved metabolic markers and potential benefits beyond weight loss. He also outlines practical tips for safely adopting this lifestyle approach and stresses the importance of ongoing research.
