How is January already over!? This month flew by! I'm going to try and get into the habit of doing a monthly review post to keep on track with my wellness goals and also any random favourites, finds or fun memories from the month! Here we go...
I Joined a Time Restricted Eating Study
Have you heard of time restricted eating? I was introduced to the idea last year when I first started following the work of Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Dr. Patrick is a biomedical scientist who runs a great website and produces podcasts and videos about health, nutrition longevity and aging - so many interesting topics! One of her repeat podcast interview guests is Dr. Satchin Panda who researches circadian rhythm and the health benefits of time restricted eating.

3 Days in Protaras, Cyprus

This beachside resort town features a lively stretch of resorts, restaurants, souvenir shopping and karaoke bars aimed at British and Russian tourists. The beaches here are busy, but spectacular!
