56:51

In this Episode I speak with Jon Katz. Jon started NYC Food Ways where he helps set up food rescue programs in New York City. Jon shares how he has used to work in the service industry and he realized that a third of our food is thrown away. He shares how he started taking food that would otherwise be wasted and give it to food insecure people. Jon shares his story of his own relationship with food and how changing that changed his whole life. This eventually resulted in Jon becoming a coach that helps people achieve many goals while starting first with changing their diet. Jon talks about how our system of perpetual growth needs greater and greater consumption to thrive. He talks how getting rid of waste can collapse this system. He explains how this system preys on our weaknesses and insecurities. He explains how profitable our mental health and addiction crises are right now.

Ep. 123 - Yoga and Ayurveda (with Nadia Walji) 51:55

منذ 2 years51:55

51:55

In this episode I speak with Nadia Walji. Nadia is a Certified Yoga Therapist. Nadia works with people one-on-one to pacify any symptoms or conditions that may be arising. Nadia tells us how the practice of Yoga can help people deal with stress, anxiety, sleep, and digestion. She shares her knowledge on some of the tools she uses, such as asana-s (postures) and prānāyāma (breath) practices. Nadia explains the 4 components of the breath and how we can play with those to cause a desired physical, physiological and psychological effect. Nadia also explains the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for fight-or-flight response when a perceived stress is presented. This response inhibits other physiological functions such as digestion. She tells us how posture and breath practices allow us to activate the parasympathetic nervous system which allows for rest, recovery, digestion, and proper sleep. Nadia also has a foundational understanding of Āyurveda, the science of life, and gives insight into this beautiful, ancient Indian system of natural and holistic medicine. She shares how we humans are a microcosm of the macrocosm and are made up of the same elements of the planet – earth, water, fire, air, and ether (space). She explains how each of us has a different makeup of these elements – some people are made up of more of the heavier elements or conversely the lighter elements. By understanding our composition, the symptoms we are experiencing and the season we are in, we can pick foods, herbs and spices that are more appropriate for us.
