Reader!

How were your last 2 weeks? The mad dash before summer unofficially came to a close?

We madly dashed on our last Savor Food and Body Adventure, for sure.

With only a mile and a half from camp after an epic day of hiking along a rolling ridge, followed by a steep descent into the valley below, and a final 2000+ foot ascent to our camp for the night, the rain started.

Slowly at first. Then bigger drops to the point it was time to put on rain gear. Thunder rolled in. Then CRACK! Lighting.

My hiking partners weren't convinced we were on the “rain shadow” side of the Olympic Peninsula. Are we really doing this for 8 days?!?!

“Did you bring ground cloths?” I ask as we search for a dry-ish campsite.

Nope. “We never hike with them at home. It’s usually dry enough!”

I learned, after 15 years of backpacking in Washington State, that a ground cloth under your tent is essential to keep gear and clothes dry, protect your tent, and keep a smile on your face in the backcountry.

Kind of like gentle nutrition is essential to a healthy relationship with food and your body after 40 - especially when Mother Nature throws perimenopause curveballs.

I’ll break down what gentle nutrition is, why it’s the foundation to health over 40, and how to practice eating this way without falling into the dumpster fire of diet culture.

You'll learn to “think about it” for yourself :)
