A year of tracking what we actually threw away, and the four changes that accounted for nearly all of it.

I went looking for what holistic medicine actually means in practice, spoke to three practitioners and one very patient physician, and came back with a more complicated answer than I wanted.

None of these cost money, none of them took more than a week to stick, and together they did more for me than the two years I spent buying equipment.

I asked four people who do this for a living what they would keep if they could only keep three products. Nobody said anything I expected.

Six days, two guides, one broken camera, and a long argument with myself about whether any of this is good for the animals.

What four years of therapy, one injury and a very boring spreadsheet taught me about the point where looking after your body and looking after your head stop being separate projects.

I logged every item I wore for six months. Eleven things accounted for more than half of it, and almost none of them were the ones I would have guessed.

Nine days on the north coast, well away from the postcard version, in a car that smelled of wet dog by the second afternoon.
