ES 🍝 039: Seaweed is Revolutionizing Housing, Princeton Breaks Barriers with Free Tuition & More!

We made it through the first week of October – let’s gooo! Let’s end it on a good note. Dive into extra sauce 039 to fill up your cup heading into the weekend. You know the drill ⬇️

• Free tuition, room and board at an Ivy League School, the rise of the African rhino population, and more good news.

• A new round of 1AND1 picks, chosen by our experts.

• A note from Minaa about reframing your thoughts + the power of positive affirmations.

• An Off the Cuff episode with guest Kim Shapira about building a healthier relationship with food to transform your life.

• Omar Vázquez from BlueGreen Mexico has found a way to use seaweed to build houses. He calls these houses Sargablocks. The seaweed is compressed into bricks that can be shaped into houses. These houses are cheap to build and can withstand earthquakes and hurricanes. They have two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. They also use 50 percent fewer materials than regular houses. Omar Vázquez started using Sargablocks in 2018 to help low-income people and refugees who need shelter. Well done, Omar. It’s inspiring to see you help your community in such meaningful ways! 👏 

• Princeton University has announced that starting next fall, about 1,500 students, which is a quarter of all undergraduates, will not have to pay for tuition, room, or board. This applies to families that earn up to $100,000 annually. Families earning less than $65,000 receive full financial support for tuition and room and board. This can provide many families with needed financial freedom and security. We can’t wait to see this rollout! 🏫 🧠 

• New data from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) shows that efforts to protect African rhinos have been successful. The population of black rhinos has increased by 4.2% to reach 6,487, while the population of white rhinos has increased by 5.6% to reach 16,803. This is the first time since 2012 that the white rhino population has grown, which is great news because they are considered "near threatened" on the IUCN's Red List of endangered species. This positive update is a good way to end our week! 🦏 👏 

We’ve got another round of our expert picks for you this week. Check out some tasty coffee that’s full of nutrients, resistance bands that will help you build strength and muscles, and a penalty box you can take with you on the go so you don’t fall off your workouts.

How often do you think about your next meal? While food is essential for life, many of us might approach our relationship with it incorrectly. Surprisingly, sleep can be as influential as diet regarding weight loss.

On S3 EP 17, Danny sits down with guest Kim Shapira, a renowned expert in diet and nutrition. She deeply dives into the connection between food, sleep, and weight loss. In her new book, "This is What You’re Really Hungry For: Six Simple Rules to Transform Your Relationship with Food to Become Your Healthiest Self," Kim emphasizes the importance of understanding our emotional connection to food.

If you're seeking a healthier relationship with food and better weight loss results, Kim's insights might be the guidance you need
