"What’s a Spring Tonic? The early settlers were firm believers in the restorative powers of early spring greens! Dandelion leaves, ramps, stewed rhubarb, boiled sassafras, wild strawberries, and young tender greens stimulated the digestion and strengthened the body after a long winter. Learn more..." 

Join Rob as he discusses springtime sleeping with the peepers, power cycling with your computers, spring tonics, and how winter used to mean "lean" times before the spring season. 

Rob also discusses his experience with fasting, fermented foods and supplementation to rejuvenate and rebuild his own gut biome after years of neglect and abuse of food and alcohol. 

  • Also...discover the origin of the phrase “burning the candle at both ends”!  

A frog leaps out across the lawn, 
And crouches there—all heavy and alone, 
And like a blossom, pale and over-blown, 
Once more the moon turns dim against the dawn. 
–Djuna Barnes (1892–1982)
