⏱️ Mano Minute (10/1): It’s October… 👻 Time to flip to chapter 10 of this year’s story. This is our time to pause. Monthly reflection keeps us from running on autopilot.

⏱️ Mano Minute (9/30): My Tylenol Takeaway 💊 Here are my thoughts and opinions on this situation. 1️⃣ Does Tylenol cause autism?Truth is… nobody knows. Even the researchers can’t give a clear answer. Human health has too many moving parts to pin it all on one thing. This is especially true in nutrition research 2️⃣ Correlation ≠ causationJust because two things show up together doesn’t mean one caused the other. Science gets tricky here, and it’s easy to jump to the wrong conclusion. 3️⃣...
