Our bodies do so much for us. They heal when injured. They move us through the world. And most importantly, they allow us to experience the sensations of life. And how do we thank our bodies? Do we criticize them? Wish ours was like someone else’s? Demean or objectify them? Put toxic chemicals into them?

“Thank Your Body” is a place to discuss and discover fundamental truths about this living body and how best to care for it.  The goal is to reconnect inward and refine our ability to listen to what our own body needs so that we may find joy, vitality, and real health. Because there are so many things that go into a healthy life, this site is dedicated to exploring ideas related to movement, nutrition, toxic-free living, and our connection (and responsibility) to the world we live in.
