For me it’s not being able to get up and go on my own terms and for Jess it’s memory loss. There’s a lot of fear and stigma around getting old, even though it’s something most of us will experience. From the endless anti-wrinkle products to the fear of dementia, aging is usually not embraced in our society. Today we’ll be talking with gerontologist Christina Peoples from @gero_what, who holds a master’s degree in gerontology. She has an online platform dedicated to providing education on aging, called Gero What.

In This Episode We’ll Cover:
👵🏽What the study of gerontology is and how it’s useful in everyday life
👵🏽Ageism, age denial, and why these things can be problematic
👵🏽Common myths and stereotypes about aging
👵🏽Practical ways to prepare for aging + MORE!

We’ve been wanting to cover fibroids for the longest time, and specifically wanted to interview a black woman on this topic since African-American women have a higher prevalence of fibroids, and experience more severe symptoms and unique concerns. We were SO happy to find Dr. Soyini Hawkins @soyinihawkinsmd, a board-certified, fellowship-trained Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeon.

In This Episode We’ll Cover:
• Whether or not black women have a higher prevalence of fibroids
• Symptoms of fibroids and how to find out if you have them
• Ways to manage fibroids via lifestyle changes and/or medical treatment
• How to decide when fibroid surgery is appropriate & MORE!

I love saving mental energy by having dishes on ro

I love saving mental energy by having dishes on rotation that we make every week. My favorite is pizza. We have it every Sunday and keep it fresh by choosing a variety of seasonal toppings from week-to-week. We save time (& money) buy purchasing the pizza sauce and dough in advance (for the MONTH) then buying the cheese and toppings on a weekly basis. ⠀
⠀
This week we partnered with our friends at @lightlifefoods #ad to make a Kale and Caramelized Onion Pizza with their Plant-Based Italian Sausage. OMFG. This was absolutely the best pizza that I’ve ever made -- my husband can attest to that. The sausage is made from only simple ingredients (like peas and beets!), it’s flavored SO well and paired perfectly with kale and onion. ⠀
⠀
Here’s what you need⠀
⠀
🍕 1 #lightlife Plant-Based Italian Sausage link⠀
🍕 1 lb of pizza dough⠀
🍕 ½ cup of chopped kale ⠀
🍕 ⅛ chopped onion⠀
🍕 ¾ cup of pizza sauce⠀
🍕 1.25 cups of cheese (plant-based or regular), divided⠀
🍕 2 teaspoons of olive oil, divided ⠀
🍕 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil ⠀
🍕 Optional seasonings: garlic salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes⠀
⠀
______⠀
⠀
Here’s what you do⠀
⠀
Preheat the oven to 475F. Roll pizza dough into a circle and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.⠀
⠀
Chop the kale and onions. Remove the sausage link from the casing, then break off into ½ inch pieces. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high heat then add sausage, cook for 3 minutes on each side or until brown. ⠀
⠀
Remove sausage from pan and place in bowl, add onions into pan and cook until translucent (about 4 minutes, remember to stir). Add extra oil here if you need to. Add kale and cook for another 3-4 minutes. While the onions and kale are cooking, add pizza sauce to dough and then top with 1 cup of cheese. Line the edges of the crust with olive oil, so that it gets extra crispy⠀
⠀
Cook for 7 minutes. Remove pizza from oven and add sausage, kale, onions and ¼ cup of cheese. Return to oven and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until cheese has melted. Once done cooking, let cool for a few minutes then slice. Top with fresh chopped basil, spices and an extra drizzle of olive oil. ⠀
⠀
Enjoy!
