By Donnie Yance – At its highest expression, music acts as a purifying bath for the soul. It engages the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—reorienting our awareness toward harmony, wholeness, and the Divine. Coltrane understood this at the deepest possible level.
By Erik Peper, PhD, BCB, Stoyan Vezenkov, PhD, Violeta Manolovab, Lauren Mason, PhD and Richard Harvey, PhD – The empirical record on educational technology in early and primary education has not delivered on its promises—math and reading scores have declined while screen use in classrooms has risen, as the US NAEP data and Sweden’s recent reversal of its “digital-first” education policy make plain.
by Volodymyr Zhnakin – Improving family well-being does not require a complete lifestyle overhaul. It simply requires intentional organization. By treating the home as a system that needs clear routines and simple structure, families can lower stress and daily friction, and build stronger relationships.
By Cheryl Burdette, ND – Nausea, reflux, abdominal pain, palpitations, and anxiety may be connected through the gut-brain axis. Testing pointing to a broader digestive pattern affecting both gut function and nervous system balance.
by Gary Null, PhD – With this acceptance of yourself and others, conflict can dissolve and you can be in balance. Where there is balance, there is harmony. And where there is harmony, there is bliss. In bliss, there is no need to sublimate. When you are not sublimating, then there is no destructive behavior leading to addictions.
By Gary Null, PhD – Love is not a luxury. It is oxygen for the soul, the organizing intelligence of nature itself. It is both the beginning and the destination of every human journey. We strengthen it through daily choice—choosing patience over reaction, empathy over judgment, generosity over grasping.
Each morning we can ask: Will I create fear today, or love?
By Ben Moss – We live in a mental health system dominated by powerful, dependency-forming medications, prescribed early, often indefinitely, and with remarkably little discussion of long-term consequences or exit strategies.
By Gary Null, PhD – From childhood onward, we’ve been taught to chase pleasure. Pleasure sells products, trends, and lifestyles. Happiness and pleasure are not the same thing, and happiness threatens the entire system.
By Gary Null, PhD – When anger activates, adrenaline floods the bloodstream, and reason flickers, leaving us with our primal impulses. Awareness is the bridge back to ourselves, and a pause, sometimes even for a single breath, can break the spell of anger and help us see the situation clearly.

By Joy Reuther-Costa – From lowering stress and cardiovascular risk, to improving immune function and mental well-being, forgiveness transforms us. It doesn’t change what happened — it rewires how your body and mind respond to it, and in doing so, gives you the power to live more fully in the present, no longer controlled by the past, and those things you cannot change.
By Gary Null, PhD – From celebrity culture to social media, we are surrounded by images of what it means to “make it.”
But many who appear to “have it all” live hollow lives, battling loneliness, addiction, or despair. Outward triumph cannot compensate for inward voids, and living honestly matters.
By Gary Null, PhD – The average American believes that legislators, journalists, professional institutions, and public health officials possess greater knowledge and therefore act in the public’s best interest. But if our leaders in government, media, and industry have been consistently wrong, from the Korean War onward, why should anyone still believe them? Why do they refuse to admit when they are wrong?
By Gabrielle Duebendorfer, NMD – There are deeply dysfunctional issues in our medical system, and using inflammatory rhetoric is increasing the political divide, removing any possibility to explore valid issues. We all have our blind spots, yet need to see clearly, and contribute to healthy dialogue, instead of more separation.
by Volodymyr Zhnakin – There will be days when your mind wanders constantly during meditation or you feel clumsy in yoga. That’s normal. The goal is not perfection but gentle, persistent effort. Treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion you would offer a friend, and consider these practices, which can boost your mood, and help you feel more relaxed and prepared for life’s challenges.
Overall, pain appears to decrease when a person accepts without resignation what has happened or is happening. A useful practice that may change the pain experience is to do an appreciation practice.
Even if you cannot resolve conflicts immediately, you can learn to stop reacting automatically, which allows you to be calmer, and think more clearly, and problem solving is usually more successful.
The endocannabinoid system may not have evolved because we consumed cannabinoids—but our ability to interact so deeply with these plant compounds may reflect an ancient biological compatibility.
It has proven to be difficult, if not impossible, to proceed to full-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for most of the natural methods that cannot be patented or otherwise monopolized.
By addressing food sensitivities through targeted testing and personalized dietary interventions, individuals can take a significant step toward reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and enhancing overall well-being.
As the producer of The Moss Report, the year leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic was filled with anticipation and excitement. We had invested years of hard work and significant resources into two major projects: our feature film, Immunotherapy: The Battle Within, and...

Supplements, protocols, influencer clinics, patients walking in with questions about interventions their doctors have never heard of. What's missing from most of it is the evidence. The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.
