Bitter foods help digestion in a real, biological way. They activate bitter receptors in your gut, which boosts stomach acid, enzymes and bile flow so you break down food more efficiently. They also influence hormones like GLP-1, ghrelin and CCK, which help regulate appetite and steady blood sugar. They’re not “detoxing” your liver or changing your pH. Your body already handles that part. Better digestion just means less fermentation and less bloat. Easy wins: arugula, dandelion greens, radicchi

Today is an exciting, yet bittersweet day at St. Matthew. As we anxiously prepare to welcome our new pastor, Father Pat Hoare, at noon today with joy, here's one last look back at the life and vocation, to date, of Monsignor McSweeney.
