In this episode, I share things that we make here in the Treeshouse. Many of these items you can find on Etsy and other places that sell earth-friendly items. We value knowing exactly what is in the things we put into and on our body. Our skin is our largest organ. What goes on it, and into us, is extremely important to us. What started me on this journey was traveling with liquids when flying.  Fast forward to now and the focus is to get plastics out of the Treehouse. Do you have a question or wish to provide feedback?

LDL gets a bad rap. In today's episode we discuss what the real culprit of heart disease is, in most cases, and the cholesterol numbers you really need to be keeping track of. Plus, some ratios using your total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels to know your risk for coronary heart disease. Triglycerides/HDL is the best indicator of heart disease risk. Optimal below a 1.2 or 1. Below a 2 is good. Total Cholesterol/HDL is good at indicating how metabolically healthy your body is. Good is below a 5. Lower than a 4 is optimal. LDL/HDL shows you your level of insulin resistance. You want this below a 3.5.

Today, I wish to share with you some of my thoughts as we conclude celebrating Pride this month. This is a from my blog.  Trigger warnings for suicide, violence, and abuse. Oppression is the problem What is Pride? ~ #Pride is a month long celebration of each step taken in overcoming oppression. ~ We do not have equality or equity for ALL humans in this world, and they are greatly needed. ~ #LGBTQ+ folks are marginalized.

Did you know that T2 Diabetes, heart disease, and obesity typically have Insulin Resistance in common? It’s quite fascinating actually! Hyperinsulinemia is a term that means a person’s body has higher levels of insulin than normal. Despite having more insulin, the body does not respond any better to insulin’s directions. This makes a human insulin resistant. Most adult Americans have hyperinsulinemia. Join us as we do a deeper dive into losing weight and feeling great in part one and two of this segment.

Today we’re talking about dating. My personal perspective of dating as a married, polyamorous, pansexual.  The experience is probably much like yours, yet quite different. The potential partner is not only taking on me, but also the whole Tribe, if not to a lesser extent. The questions alone that I am asked can be of a different variety.   Would you consider dating someone who is polyamorous? Have you dated someone who practices ethical non-monogamy? What questions do you have for me? May I feature your question on an upcoming podcast? If you have a question, text it to 540-404-2692 or call the number and leave a message with your question.

Would it be okay if we went into today’s episode with the notion that anything is possible? I’ve been asked to share where polyamory has been helpful in my life. If you can love more than one child, which, you can, then you can love more than one adult.  Society tells us otherwise. Monogamy is a recent social construct. It’s made up. Having someone else important in your life, that you can depend on, lean on, be vulnerable with, and share the bad with the good isn’t such a bad thing. Why do we have to limit ourselves to just one person?  Feel free to submit your questions or send feedback to 540-404-2692 (text or phone) website:  www.SuzAshley.com Instagram @SuzThrives  Telegram @SuzThrives, 540-404-2692 WhatsApp @SuzThrives text 540-404-2692 Twitter @SuzAshley SUPPORT 🙏🏼 Thank you 🙏🏼  We depend on listener support and any donation you can make to our Life in the Treehouse series is greatly appreciated.

Each one of us is a unique puzzle piece in this paradoxical puzzle called life. Individualism is causing challenges that I feel could be solved if we took on the mindset of “it takes a village’.  What could happen if we changed our mindset, focused on doing what was best for everyone, for the Collective?
