A Joyful Pet Adoption Village Where Every Dog and Cat Is Loved, Healed and Homeward Bound
by Julie Peterson
With a mission and a passion to get homeless animals into their forever homes, Jennifer Allan Hagedorn founded Saving With Soul (SWS) in 2017. The nonprofit now has a 17.5-acre sanctuary for animals in Baker, Florida.
A generous donor made it possible for SWS to purchase the beautiful land, nestled between cotton fields in Okaloosa County, to create The PUPStop. Volunteers repurposed buildings, painted murals and erected fences to transform the property into a unique pet adoption village that is open seven days a week.
“It’s not a shelter. It’s a dog and cat adoption heaven,” says Hagedorn, who says they specialize in rescuing small dogs.
The Good Life
The site houses more than 200 adoptable dogs and cats in all sizes, ages and backgrounds. Animals come from other rescues, owner surrenders and city and county shelters where they may have been euthanized. Upon arrival at The PUPstop, they are evaluated by a veterinarian and scheduled
to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If an animal is injured or sick, treatment is given. Hagedorn believes that animals deserve to have a comfortable and loving place to live while waiting to be adopted.
A popular area of the rescue is The PAWds at PUPville. The PAWds (pods) are heated and cooled dog shelters with outdoor patios, picket fenced yards and big shade trees. People who visit are astonished that rescue dogs have custom-built homes. Each pod houses three to six dogs and is kept immaculately clean by volunteers.
In fact, the entire property is exceptionally clean. “If you walk into any of our buildings, you will not smell animal smells. Our buildings smell nice,” says Hagedorn. Visitors are welcome every day, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., to interact with the dogs. Cats are free range inside their building, called PURR Central, and are also ready for visitors.
How to Adopt
With more than 1,500 pets coming in and being adopted out of SWS each year, the population changes daily. A picture
album of available animals at The PUPstop is updated every few hours on Facebook. There are also photos of the dogs and cats in private foster homes, another branch of the SWS rescue.
Potential adopters can get a leg up on the process by filling out an online form. They can go to The PUPStop in Baker or attend a Saturday adoption event at another location. Featuring up to 50 dogs and cats, weekly adoption event locations are listed online.
Families who are looking to adopt a second dog can bring their current fur baby to The PUPStop to scope out a potential sibling. It’s not required, but letting the dogs visit can help determine compatibility. In most cases, an adopter can take their new family member home the same day.
Be a Hero
Not everyone wants to or can adopt a pet, but there are volunteer opportunities every day to help SWS. Volunteers are needed at The PUPStop for dog walking, kitten cuddling, poop-scooping and general chores. For adoption events, animals need prepped with baths and photos and information about the animals needs posted. To start the process of volunteering, fill out the online application.
“Volunteering with a rescue group in a high-kill region will change your life. You will feel amazing at the end of the day, knowing you saved a life, or two or three,” says Hagedorn.
Profits from The PUPShop in Baker also help save pets. The shelves are stocked with pet-themed gifts, PUPStop merchandise and more. In addition, items bought from the SWS Amazon Wish List are shipped directly to the rescue and financial donations are tax exempt.
The Rainbow Bridge SWS also has a space to honor the pets who have left paw prints on our hearts.
The Rainbow Bridge is a sparkling structure, which is open day or night. People bring their elderly or ailing dogs for photos. Others hang a collar and tag on the bridge to honor a beloved companion’s memory or sprinkle ashes beneath the bridge.
Beautiful handmade tags with collars can be customized at The Rainbow Bridge Store. You can go there to hang the tag yourself or staff will hang it for you and email a photo. The purchase includes a donation to SWS that helps care for animals with medical needs.
“The bridge is in front of the property. You don’t have to come in and see us, you don’t have to make an appointment. You can stop in to see it, take a quiet moment to reflect, and then go on your way,” says Hagedorn. “This space was created with love—for healing, remem bering and celebrating the bond that never fades.”
Everything at The PUPStop was created with a passion for pets and their dedicated parents. Everyone, whether in the adoption zone or not, is welcome to visit, interact and feel the love.
Location: The PUPStop, 6407 Highway 189 N, Baker, Florida 32531. 850-343-9986. Facebook. Saving with Soul Pet Rescue is dedicated to ending euthanasia of adoptable pets in the NW Florida Panhandle by ensuring that dogs and cats are spayed or neutered. Contributions are tax deductible.

Gut Reaction
Discover How Gentle Cleansing Supports Women’s Health, Energy and Emotional Wellness
by Jean Pate
In a quiet corner of Pensacola, where the white sands meet the turquoise Gulf, a wellness revolution is underway. Inside the sleek, sunlit walls of the Coyle Institute, healing begins not with pills or procedures, but with something more elemental—the gut.
Here, Dr. Michael Coyle and his team are changing the conversation around women’s health, offering treatments that dig deeper into root causes. Among the Institute’s most talked-about therapies is colon hydrotherapy, a modern take on an ancient cleansing practice
that is rapidly gaining recognition for its profound health benefits.
Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation or colonics, involves the gentle infusion of warm, purified water into the colon to remove accumulated waste, toxins and gas. Far from the uncomfortable procedures of the past, today’s colon hydrotherapy is a serene, spa-like experience—especially in the hands of the highly trained professionals at the Coyle Institute.
“Your gut is your second brain,” says Coyle, a board-certified OB-GYN who
founded the Institute with a mission to empower women to reclaim their health. “When you begin clearing blockages from the inside out, not only does digestion improve, but mood, skin, sleep and energy levels can transform.”
At the heart of this transformation is the Institute’s commitment to state-of-theart care. The hydrotherapy suite features FDA-cleared closed system equipment operated by certified colon hydrotherapists who follow the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy (I-ACT) standards. Privacy, comfort and safety are paramount. Sessions take place in a tranquil room designed to relax the senses, with practitioners guiding patients through the process with compassion and expertise.
Clients often arrive seeking relief from chronic bloating, constipation, fatigue or inflammation—issues that conventional medicine sometimes overlooks. But after a few sessions, many report deeper changes: reduced brain fog, improved immune function and a renewed sense of vitality. Some even say they feel “lighter,” not just physically, but emotionally.
“I was skeptical at first,” admits one regular client who commutes from Mobile for monthly sessions. “But after my third treatment, I noticed I was sleeping better, thinking more clearly and I hadn’t needed my antacids in weeks.”
Coyle isn’t surprised. With decades of experience in urogynecology and a keen interest in integrative medicine, he understands how intimately the colon connects to the rest of the body. “You can’t treat women’s health in fragments,” he says. “The bowel, the bladder, the pelvic floor, the immune system—it’s all connected.”
The Coyle Institute began as a specialized clinic for pelvic health, treating
women with complex conditions like incontinence, prolapse and interstitial cystitis. But over time, the practice has evolved into a sanctuary of comprehensive, wholebody care. The addition of colon hydrotherapy reflects that broader vision.
For many patients, colon hydrotherapy becomes a cornerstone of a larger lifestyle shift. The team offers guidance on hydration, diet and detoxification, helping clients sustain the benefits long after they leave the clinic. This supports a cleansing lifestyle that is essential in today’s toxic world.
Today, the Institute offers more than just relief—it offers renewal. In addition to hydrotherapy, patients have access to bioidentical hormone testing and therapy, vaginal laser therapies, advanced urogynecology services, ozone therapy and IV therapies including high dose vitamin C and Myers Cocktail. The staff includes licensed medical professionals who approach every patient with empathy and individualized attention. Educational outreach and wellness workshops are part of their expanding vision for community impact.
Looking ahead, the Coyle Institute plans to expand its wellness offerings, bringing more integrative therapies under one roof. Coyle envisions a future where holistic healing and modern science no longer live in separate silos but walk hand in hand.
“True healing happens when we look at the whole person, not just their symptoms,” he says. “That’s the future of medicine.”
For a community often underserved in terms of progressive women’s care, the Coyle Institute is more than a clinic—it is a lighthouse. And with each patient who walks through its doors, a new story of healing begins.

Holistic and Whole Body Approach to Oral Health Care
A Synergistic Gut Blend Offering Real Relief For Bloating, Leaky Gut and Inflammation
by Jean Pate
In a world where gut health is increasingly linked to everything from immune resilience to emotional wellbeing, a small company is making waves with a clean, science-backed approach to healing the body at its core. Intestinal Fortitude, founded by a chronic illness survivor turned gut health crusader, is transforming lives through its targeted formulas that blend ancient herbal wisdom with modern clinical science.
Tucked away in the digital marketplace yet reaching customers across the nation, Intestinal Fortitude doesn’t have flashy marketing or a celebrity endorsement. What they do have is pure, meticulously formulated products that have earned the trust of thousands who’ve exhausted other options.
At the heart of the brand is GLR-6, the flagship gut-repair formula that brings
together a synergistic blend of six guthealing ingredients, each chosen not just for its individual benefits, but for how it enhances the effectiveness of the others. This is the brilliance of the company’s strategy: treating the gut not with a single silver bullet, but through a coordinated team of nutrients that work together to repair, rebuild and restore.
Founder Will Jenkins created Intestinal Fortitude out of necessity. “I suffered for years with autoimmune issues, digestive dysfunction and chronic inflammation,” he says. “It was only when I started learning about functional medicine and began rebuilding my gut lining with clean, powerful ingredients that things started to turn around. That’s when I knew this information had to be shared.”
GLR-6 is a direct result of that journey. The formula begins with L-glutamine, the most abundant amino acid in the body, which serves as fuel for intestinal cells and helps rebuild the gut lining that often becomes compromised by stress, poor diet or medications. N-acetyl glucosamine supports mucosal integrity and cellular repair, while marshmallow root and slippery elm, both rich in mucilage, soothe and protect the digestive tract like a botanical balm. Deglycyrrhizinated (DGL) licorice amplifies this healing by stimulating mucus production without the blood pressure concerns of traditional licorice. Fenugreek seed, known for its demulcent and anti-inflammatory properties, rounds out the formula, offering both symptom relief and deeper healing. The result is a product that doesn’t just mask symptoms—it rebuilds function from the inside out.
“The formulas are clean, with no fillers, dyes or synthetic junk,” Jenkins emphasizes. “It’s about giving the body exactly what it needs and nothing
it doesn’t.” Each ingredient is tested for purity, and every batch is produced in a Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP)certified facility. The company’s devotion to transparency is evident in its extensive educational materials and in-depth customer communication.
Intestinal Fortitude’s success didn’t happen overnight. It grew by one person at a time— people who were tired of feeling sick and unheard. What began as a personal mission has blossomed into a movement, supported by rave reviews, testimonials of restored health and a fiercely loyal customer base. Users report not only relief from bloating, leaky gut and IBS, but also improvements in energy, mental clarity, skin health and even mood. It’s a reminder of just how central the gut is to overall vitality.
The company now offers a line of complementary products designed to support digestive health at every level, including targeted support for motility and probiotics. Each one is crafted with the same integrity as the original formula—designed to work together for comprehensive, long-term healing rather than quick fixes.
Looking ahead, Jenkins envisions expanding community outreach, including education on gut-brain health, partnerships with integrative practitioners and support for those facing autoimmune conditions and food sensitivities. “This is about more than supplements,” he says. “It’s about giving people hope—and tools they can trust.”
As chronic conditions continue to rise and more people seek root-cause solutions, Intestinal Fortitude stands out as a beacon of purity, purpose and progress. Healing, it turns out, is possible—especially when the gut leads the way.
Intestinal Fortitude’s products are available online. To learn more, visit IntestinalFortitude.com, call 800-399-4139 or email info@intestinalfortitude.com. See ad, page 21.

Healing Is Remembering Who You Are
by Laura Donigan
Somewhere along the way, many of us forget who we are. Not just our dreams or our peace, but the deep knowing that lives underneath the noise. We get busy doing, fixing and proving. But healing often begins with something quieter. It begins when we pause, take a breath and remember.
Remembering isn’t about recalling facts or memories. It’s something deeper—a return to the part of us that was never broken, never lost. That quiet inner place that still knows peace, even when life feels messy. Some people feel it during a walk in nature. Others in a moment of stillness or while journaling late at night. It doesn’t shout. It whispers.
As Carl Jung once said, “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
I believe that, at a certain point, the real work comes down to shedding the lies, removing the masks and remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.
Remembering often starts in small, quiet moments. Taking a deep breath before reacting. Putting a hand on your heart when you’re overwhelmed. Saying no when
you’ve spent your life trying to please. Sometimes it’s about slowing down long enough to feel the sunlight on your skin or to notice the way your body softens when you stop trying to be perfect. These aren’t grand gestures, but they are sacred ones.
Over time, remembering becomes less of a practice and more of a lifestyle. It’s a way of being that honors who you truly are, not who the world expects you to be.
You don’t have to force your healing. You don’t have to chase it, fix yourself or become someone new. The truth is that everything you need is already inside of you, waiting to be remembered. With every choice to slow down, to listen within, to live a little more honestly, you are returning home. And that homecoming is the healing.
Becoming who you truly are isn’t a destination— it’s a return to what was always sacred within you.
Laura Donigan is a Level 2 QHHT Practitioner and spiritual guide who helps others connect with their higher self and soul purpose. Through hypnosis, intuitive work and deep listening, she supports healing as a process of remembrance. Learn more at LauraDoniganQHHT.com. See ad, page 4.

Balancing the Gut
Investing in Our Inner Ecosystem
by Hannah Tytus
“The gut is the first to encounter the universe, and it is the first line of defense between you and the universe,” says Dr. Madiha Saeed, a holistic, functional and integrative doctor in Naperville, Illinois, and director of education for Documenting Hope and KnoWEwell. Home to trillions
of bacteria, fungi and other microbes, the digestive tract forms a complex ecosystem known as the gut microbiome, which influences many aspects of health.
Microbes perform numerous functions. They help break down food, produce essential nutrients, support the immune
system and influence mood, cognition and overall well-being. Diet, stress, sleep, medications and environmental exposures shape the makeup of our gut microbiota, which, in turn, impact the body’s propensity for health or disease. Efforts to restore and nurture gut health offer opportunities for us to enhance our well-being through simple lifestyle changes.
Gut Microbiome Basics
The intestinal environment is constantly changing, with new microbes entering and others disappearing daily, creating a dynamic community of tiny organisms that is unique to every individual. Different species have specialized roles. For instance, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii lowers inflammation by nourishing gut cells, while Akkermansia muciniphila maintains the gut lining by breaking down mucus and supporting helpful bacteria. Each person hosts approximately 1,000 distinct microbial species, while humanity collectively harbors more than 10,000 species.
Like a garden, the gut microbiome contains a mix of helpful and harmful organisms. Beneficial microbes behave like healthy plants, supporting digestion, nutrient absorption and immune function. When cared for, these helpful organisms thrive, while also helping to keep harmful microbes (weeds) under control.
Our intestinal garden is shaped by how it is tended. Fiber-rich foods, fermented products and exposure to natural environments help nourish the good microbes, much like water, sunlight and compost nourish plants. By contrast, processed foods, excessive sugar and unnecessary antibiotics can disrupt the balance and allow harmful microbes to take over.
Many people experience gut imbalance, or dysbiosis, without realizing it. The gut is highly sensitive to its environment, and everyday choices like processed foods, medications and chronic stress can

quietly disrupt the inner balance, making it harder for beneficial microbes to thrive.
Medications. “Though some medications can save your life, they do come with a side disadvantage, so you need to weigh your risks versus the benefits when it comes to taking any medications,” Saeed advises, noting that antibiotics, for example, reduce microbial diversity and richness, causing short-term changes in the microbiome. While most people recover within two months, their microbiota diversity and productivity may remain low, and some people may experience longer-lasting disruptions.
Common painkillers called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen can also interact with the composition and function of the gut microbiome. They inhibit microbial growth, induce microbial cell death and increase gut permeability. NSAIDs can also interact with gut microbes, thereby impacting how well the drug is absorbed.
Foods. The food we eat significantly impacts the microbiome’s composition and metabolism. “Real foods nourish the good bugs, while processed foods fuel the bad,” says Saeed. Diets high in processed foods, sugars and additives create a toxic load that disrupts bacterial balance and triggers inflammation, leading to chronic disease. Eating these kinds of ingredients on a consistent basis can slowly damage the gut, as harmful microbes crowd out beneficial species, weakening the intestinal ecosystem over time without immediate signs of distress.

Stress. Chronic stress is another gut health disruptor. Stress hormones can reduce beneficial bacteria such as Akkermansia muciniphila, which has been identified as a potential protector against obesity and Type 1 diabetes. Stress also encourages yeast overgrowth, leading to inflammation and intensifying the stress response in a vicious cycle. Studies also show that stress, whether physical or perceived, can alter overall microbial composition.
A 2018 narrative review published in Frontiers in Microbiology analyzed existing preclinical studies and found that various psychological, environmental and physical stressors can alter gut microbiota composition and function. Furthermore, a 2023 systematic review published in Neuropsychobiology found that higher perceived stress was associated with lower microbial diversity and decreased abundance of beneficial genera such as Lachnospira, Veillonella and

Phascolarctobacterium. Harmful bacteria like Methanobrevibacter rose in relative abundance in stressed individuals.
Signs of Imbalance
Indications of an unhealthy gut show up in various ways. Digestive issues such as bloating, gas and constipation often signal an imbalance. Fatigue, mood swings and skin conditions like acne or eczema may also be related to poor gut health. Unexplained weight changes, cognitive problems and food sensitivities may be caused by intestinal distress. A weakened immune system, trouble sleeping and bad breath can also indicate a need for gut support.
Repairing the Gut
Environmental factors influence the microbiome more than genetics, but when the gut has been harmed, Saeed explains, restoration takes more than just a probiotic.
Eat organic whole foods. “Food is medicine. Every bite can either help or hurt,” counsels Saeed, emphasizing the importance of daily food choices. Like humans, gut microbes need nourishment to thrive. When they eat well, human health flourishes. The typical Western diet is high in simple carbohydrates and fat, but low in fiber, offering little nourishment for beneficial microbes.
On the other hand, microbiota-accessible carbohydrates (MACs) such as legumes, root vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds are essential for a diverse and resilient microbial community. Because MACs are not broken down by digestive enzymes, they are
fermented by gut microbes, feeding and promoting the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria.
Choosing organic produce helps avoid synthetic pesticides and herbicides sprayed on produce to eliminate pests and weeds. These chemicals have been shown to negatively affect the gut microbiome and human health. “It’s best to eat local food that is not sprayed,” advises Dr. Patrick Hanaway, a board-certified functional medicine family physician, educator and chief medical officer of KnoWEwell.
Supplement wisely. Probiotics and prebiotics are vital for healing the gut. Probiotics, whether found in foods like yogurt and other fermented products or taken as supplements, introduce live bacteria into the body. Prebiotics act like fertilizer, feeding good bacteria and helping restore overall balance. Fiber-rich foods such as asparagus, bananas, garlic, onions, oats, apples and legumes naturally support a thriving gut ecosystem.
As Hanaway explains, “A probiotic is a live bacteria that can be ingested and move into the stomach and populate the body. A prebiotic is a component that helps feed the commensal [beneficial] bacteria in the gut. Probiotics are highly specific. They have great benefits for specific strains for specific diseases in specific doses. Yet, the probiotic is a tourist; it doesn’t stay in the body. It’s great to have tourists in the economy, but if an economy becomes entirely dependent on tourism, it becomes a problem.”
When choosing supplements, quality matters. Due to limited regulations, it is best to purchase from reputable brands. Supplements in fillable capsules tend to have fewer fillers and more active ingredients. Vitamins and minerals are best absorbed from whole foods, so supplements should complement, not replace, a balanced diet.

very act of putting our hands in the dirt may also help increase the diversity of our gut microbiome. A 2022 cohort study of 19 families over one growing season by scientists at the University of Illinois and published in the journal Nature found that when compared to nongardeners, families that grew plants and produce in their backyards had more gut bacteria linked to fiber fermentation, greater microbial diversity and even some microbes in their guts that appeared to come from the soil. Families that gardened also ate more fiber-rich foods.

Commit to small actions. Healthy microbiomes grow with consistent care—not perfection—and even small lifestyle changes can build a more resilient ecosystem for better overall health. There is no magic bullet for healing the gut. The key is to commit one hour a week to health education and to small actions focused on rebuilding the inner ecosystem one change at a time.
“A strictly-diet approach isn’t the answer; a lifestyle approach is,” says Dr. Tom O’Bryan, an expert on food sensitivities, environmental toxins and the development of autoimmune diseases, as well as the host of the Regenerative Whole Health Show at KnoWEwell.com. “Dietary regimens can go only so far if something else persists, like mold in the house, high glyphosate levels or accumulated mercury in the body.” Addressing the macrocosm around us helps fix the microcosm inside us.

Indoor air filtration and water purification measures might be necessary to counteract an unhealthy indoor environment. Small changes like storing leftover food in glass rather than plastic can help keep harmful compounds out of the gut. Herbs such as chamomile and holy basil in diffusers and teas may aid the chronically stressed. Even simply chewing our food slowly, with mindfulness and gratitude, can help aid the digestion process.

Sweet and Tart
The Joys of Homemade Fruit Shrubs
by Chloe Karydes Krecun
Afruit shrub is a sweet and tart syrup made by combining fruit, sugar and vinegar. Used for centuries as a way to keep nutrients alive, these tangy, fermented syrups are becoming popular again as irresistible additions to cocktails and mocktails, while also contributing to gut health.
Long before fruit shrubs became a trendy addition to modern beverages, fermenting fruits in alcohol or vinegar was one of humanity’s oldest preservation techniques. Resourceful cooks combined seasonal fruits with vinegar and sugar to create potent elixirs that captured the fleeting abundance of summer harvests in shelf-stable form.
When winter’s grip tightened and fresh produce became scarce, these preserved fruits provided delicious flavors and vital
nutrients. Today’s food enthusiasts celebrate fruit shrubs for their complexity and versatility in everything from sodas to salads and other inventive side dishes.
Health Benefits
Each ingredient in a fruit shrub plays a distinct role in both preservation and nutrition. “The vinegar component in shrubs is what helps preserve the fruits and keep them from spoiling,” explains Lea Ann Chen, M.D., assistant professor of gastroenterology at the Rutgers University Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. “However, the total amount of fruit in shrub recipes is relatively modest. Thus, the benefits of eating fresh fruits would be much higher. For example, fresh whole fruit contains fiber, which has many health benefits, but this is mostly missing in shrubs.”
Chen notes that the fruit in shrubs is nevertheless a source of certain vitamins, such as vitamin C in citrus fruits, while berries are also high in polyphenols, which offer anti-inflammatory properties. A 2021 Stanford University study published in the journal Cell found that consuming fermented foods may increase gut microbiome diversity and decrease inflammation, so the fermentation of fruit shrubs may be part of a gut-healthy diet.
According to Kirsten Shockey, the author of several books on fermentation, including Fermented Vegetables, fruit shrubs and mocktails serve as a practical steppingstone toward healthier drink choices. They offer a middle ground for those seeking to improve their habits by steering away from soda and alcoholic beverages without making dramatic changes.
Fermenting Tips
Creating gut-friendly fruit shrubs at home requires nothing more than fresh fruit, sugar, vinegar and patience. Morgan Shortt, sales director at Pink House Alchemy, a maker of farm-to-table simple syrups, aromatic bitters and shrubs, explains that the sugar breaks down the fruit and naturally turns it into a thick, viscous syrup without having to smash

the fruit. This natural maceration process allows the sugar to draw out fruit juices and flavors over the course of a couple of days.
Once macerated, the fruit is strained through cheesecloth or a coffee filter. The syrup can be used immediately as a topping on desserts or savory dishes. To make it last longer and add the tart taste, vinegar is incorporated. Almost any type can be used, depending on personal taste. White vinegar is intensely sharp; apple cider vinegar provides a mild, fruity flavor; and balsamic can add depth to berry shrubs with only a splash. The higher the quality of vinegar, the better the results, Shockey points out.
Although fruit shrubs are shelf stable, the shelf life varies depending on the ingredients. Shortt estimates that her shrubs have a shelf life of at least two years. Refrigeration can help maintain the quality and flavor for a longer period of time.
Enjoying the Results
Shrubs offer a practical solution for reducing food waste. They are a good way to use seasonal fruits that may be bruised or considered a farmer’s seconds. “The key takeaway is that it’s an easy and affordable way
to consume a gut-healthy product, and it’s delicious,” says Shortt.
For those preferring convenience over homemade preparation, shrubs are increasingly available at farmers markets, health food stores and online. When purchasing, prioritize products containing raw, unpasteurized vinegar and minimal added sugar while checking for clean-ingredient labels. Premixed shrub drinks are also available in ready-to-consume cans or bottles for the ultimate in convenience.
Shrubs represent a delicious intersection of ancient preservation wisdom and modern wellness needs. Whether crafted at home or purchased ready-made, these tangy syrups offer a simple way to support gut health while adding flavor to drinks and recipes.

Childhood Friendships
How To Support a Kid’s Social Development
by Christina Connors
Supporting a child’s social development today means setting aside outdated assumptions. What once felt simple, like walking up and saying “Hi” on the playground, may require emotional scaffolding today. Kids face a more complex and often emotionally charged social world, so the way we guide them needs to evolve, too.
Joanna Faber and Julie King, co-authors of the bestselling books How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen and How to Talk
When Kids Won’t Listen, offer a compassionate framework for supporting children through friendship conflicts. “In the moment that a child is in distress over a social slight, the first thing we can do for them is to offer quiet sympathy instead of a game plan and a pep talk,” they write. “Sometimes just a sympathetic sound is enough. Resist the urge to lecture, ask questions, or give advice. … Your restraint in not jumping in with questions and advice shows trust in your child’s ability to manage her own relationships.”
This gentle, emotionally attuned approach is backed by child mental health experts who emphasize that emotional safety is the foundation of healthy social development. “Children thrive when they feel seen and heard,” says Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, a clinical psychologist and integrative pediatric mental health expert. “Social skills don’t grow in a vacuum—they’re cultivated through repeated, safe interactions where kids feel supported, not judged or directed. When adults approach social challenges with calm empathy, they send the message that it’s okay to have big feelings and that mistakes are a part of learning.”
This doesn’t mean stepping back entirely. While Capanna-Hodge warns against the temptation to micromanage social interactions, she does suggest alternative actions. “We have to stop swooping in to fix every peer conflict,” she says. “When we do that, we unintentionally rob children of the chance to build problem-solving and coping skills. Instead, guide them gently and give them the language to express themselves. That’s what truly sets the foundation for deeper, more meaningful relationships.”
One key strategy Capanna-Hodge recommends is co-regulation, a powerful technique where adults model calm and emotional steadiness, especially when a child is dysregulated or distressed. “We talk a lot about self-regulation, but kids need co-regulation first,” she explains. “That means being the calm in their storm—breathing with them, validating their feelings and staying present without judgment. That’s how they learn to calm themselves and respond, rather than react, in social situations.”
Connection Is the Heart of Growth
Friendship is not just a social bonus; it is a developmental necessity. As caregivers, educators and parents, the focus is not to orchestrate every social moment but to create the conditions where trust, empathy and
connection can flourish. By modeling emotional presence, offering tools for regulation and holding space for kids to navigate the ups and downs of friendship, we empower them to build lasting, meaningful relationships. These moments of quiet support may seem small, but they build social wisdom that lasts a lifetime.
As Capanna-Hodge advises, “The best gift we can give our children is the belief that they can handle hard things, especially when it comes to friendships. When we trust them, support them and walk beside them instead of ahead, we teach them how to be kind, confident and resilient.”
As discussed in a 2017 research article published in the journal Social Development, children’s friendships and their ability to navigate them matter. Friends engage in more complicated social activities, talks, tasks, cooperation, negotiation, altruistic activities and effective conflict management. In a world that often feels fast and fragmented, the ability to build deep, authentic connections may be one of the greatest gifts we can offer the next generation.
