by Hilary Jacobson | Oct 4, 2023 | Course_Work, Metabolism

The body prefers storing fat over glucose. While at first glance, this might seem counterintuitive—given that glucose is the body’s primary energy source—the reasons behind this preference are grounded in biochemistry and cellular biology.

Meet Rapunzel, the studious tower-dweller 🌿📚 Meet Rapunzel, the studious tower-dweller 🌿📚. She's not locked away; she's embracing solitude for deep study and self-discovery. My latest book reimagines classic fairy tales, showcasing women and girls who take charge of their own stories. #FairyTaleRetold #WomenInFiction #StudyGoals #WomensWisdom #HerbalMedicine #HealingMagic #EmpoweredWomen #NaturalHealing #WisdomPassedDown Illustration by @ruta_ciutaite Rapunzel's tale is just one in a book of retold fairytales, "Red Madder Root" that you can find on amazon or in bookstores near you.
🌹 A Journey Through Light and Shadow: Unpacking 🌹 A Journey Through Light and Shadow: Unpacking the Mysticism and Medicine of Red Riding Hood 🐺 Red Riding Hood's tale is steeped in symbolism and hidden wisdom, which I explore in my book 'Red Madder Root, Tales of Initiation.' The vivid red of her cloak stands out against the sweet colors of the flowery meadow. It speaks of vitality, courage, and the mysteries of women's medicine that our culture has often pushed to the background. Yet, there's a shadow that follows her — the looming figure of the wolf. It is not merely a villain but a symbol of her inner struggles and the duality of life itself. It's a reminder that we all have a shadow side, and acknowledging it can be a powerful step toward personal growth and understanding. Swipe left to explore the full illustration.
