On this Healing Horizons episode, we unpack how levity, mindful movement, and storytelling accelerate healing without glorifying struggle. Veronique Ory—yoga teacher, retreat leader, and author of “Shine On and Off the Mat”—explains why taking ourselves less seriously interrupts loops of overwork, perfectionism, and rumination. We discuss playful somatic resets, designing practice to fit your season (not the other way around), and how “place, people, and practice” together create safety and sustainable change. If you’ve felt stuck in heavy self-work, this conversation offers grounded ways to lighten the load while staying intentional.   About the guest  : Veronique Ory is an intuitive movement and mindful awareness guide. Through yoga, storytelling, retreats, and her book “Shine On and Off the Mat,” she helps people craft practices that are flexible, creative, and compassionate—on and off the mat.   Key takeaways : Levity isn’t avoidance; it’s a tool that breaks rigid “self-work” loops and opens access to curiosity, joy, and change. Language matters: shifting from “work on myself” to “attune to myself” reduces heaviness and shame. Playful somatic resets (like intentional “tantrum” shakes on the floor) can transmute stuck emotion and interrupt rumination. Align practice to your season: choose vinyasa, yin, meditation, music, or journaling based on what your body and life actually need now. Form is personal: adapt classical shapes (e.g., Warrior I) to your structure and history; there is no single “correct” look. “Place, people, practice” create felt safety; retreats help remove false urgencies so integration becomes easier at home. Patterns repeat until we respond differently; noticing the “cosmic giggle” can help you choose a new response sooner. Practical cue: observe what you’re craving—grounding or uplift—and build a short, doable practice around that intention.   Connect with the guest  : Website: https://yogawithveronique.com/  Instagram: Veronique Ory Explore her membership - https://yogawithveronique.com/register/illuminate-membership-yearly/ and join the Shine Membership with a 7-day free trial Retreats & Workshops: details available on the guest’s website   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this episode of Soul Sparks with Saima, Allison Davis shares a direct, grounded roadmap to “becoming golden” at any age. A self-described late bloomer and John Maxwell–trained growth advocate, Allison moves beyond the “Forever 42” label to embrace her 70s with clarity, self-respect, and actionable habits—gratitude, honest self-talk, and values-led reinvention. We cover reframing comparison, mentoring across generations, navigating health setbacks, faith-informed resilience, and choosing strengths over perfection. If you’re ready to restart at 40, 50, 60, 70+, this conversation shows how to grow without the noise—and why it’s never too late to begin.   About the guest: Allison Davis is a late-blooming growth mentor and speaker who helps people embrace who they truly are, leverage strengths, and reinvent with purpose. Influenced by the John Maxwell leadership framework and a faith-forward ethos, she focuses on practical tools—gratitude, boundaries, and daily decisions—that build quiet confidence and momentum.   Key takeaways: Becoming golden is a decision, not an age: growth remains available “until the day you die,” driven by daily choices and honest self-talk. Drop comparison to live as your true self; accept a “quiet soul” if that’s authentic, and lead confidently from it. Shift from perfection to strengths: identify what you naturally do well, double down, and get help where you’re not gifted. Gratitude interrupts spirals: when doubt or depression creeps in, use kinder words with yourself and reset the day. Reinvention can start late: education, careers, and creative pursuits can unfold when you’re actually ready—not on a schedule. Mentor across generations: turn ordinary conversations with family into simple, values-based coaching moments. Health setbacks are wake-up calls: respond with curiosity, research causes, and recommit to what matters. Relationships improve with growth: “agree to disagree,” release the need to be right, and protect mutual dignity. Lead with love: self-love enables service; loving others sustains purpose and fuels longevity in hard seasons. Practical starter moves: daily affirmations in the mirror, a gratitude list, one strengths-based action, and one small boundary.   Connect with the guest  : To contact Allison Davis, check out her website and her socials : Instagram | LinkedIn | Facebook   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healing Horizons, we explore how a classically trained opera singer became a sound healer and built Sound Awakenings and Quantum Voice. Denise Mihalik breaks down practical, science-aligned ways to use breathwork, humming, chanting (kirtan), and singing bowls to calm the nervous system, release emotion, and reconnect with presence. We cover stage fright, loss, the shift from performance to service, what India’s ashram/kirtan culture taught her, and how to build a simple daily voice-based practice—no training required.   About the guest   Denise Mihalik is a former opera singer turned sound healer, voice coach, and founder of Sound Awakenings. Her work blends classical technique, mantra, and contemplative practice. She’s the author of Journey to Sunyata and the album Heartstrings of the Infinite.   Key takeaways: Breath first: Voice work starts with an aware inhale and a fully released exhale; linking sound to breath anchors attention in the present. Humming soothes the nervous system: A gentle hum on any pitch (hand on heart/belly) acts like a “lullaby” to your body and can be done quietly if you’re not in a space to vocalize. From performance to healing: Stage fright, grief, and life upheaval redirected Denise from singing for others to using voice with others for self-healing and service. Kirtan opens the heart: Group chanting reduces mental over-control; let the essence of the mantra lead, even if you don’t know the words. Daily micro-ritual: Ground your feet, set intention on waking, do 3–5 cycles of inhale → hum; repeat before sleep or during night waking. Acceptance unlocks voice: Release “I hate my voice” narratives; your natural tone is the medicine. Sound + thought = frequency: Words, thoughts, and tone shape inner and outer environment—use gratitude and affirmations to prime your field. No passport required: You can access teachers and practices online; start with intention and consistent, simple practice.   Connect with the guest   Website: https://www.soundawakenings.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@soundawakeningsInstagram & Facebook: @Sound Awakenings Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this episode of Healing Horizons, we get practical about reclaiming health without chasing trends. Clinical nutrition pioneer Beverly Meyer (host of Primal Diet – Modern Health) lays out a simple path: start with food and sleep, measure what changes, and only then consider supplements or advanced protocols. We discuss why “quick tips” don’t create lasting results, how to read your own feedback loop, and what it really means to “change your chemistry” so your body can do what it already knows how to do. Direct, evidence-minded, no fluff—just steps you can act on today. About the guest  : Beverly Meyer is a long-time clinician and host of the podcast Primal Diet – Modern Health. Drawing from decades of lived experience and client work, she helps people improve energy, sleep, digestion, and resilience by rebuilding foundations first—protein-rich meals, quality fats, cooked vegetables, and real rest—before reaching for pills or protocols. Key takeaways: Foundations first: consistent, hearty meals and real sleep change overall chemistry faster than any “hack.” “Food first” means protein, fats, and cooked vegetables; use supplements as additions, not substitutes. Track reality, not ideals: a 7-day food + sleep diary reveals what’s helping or hurting. Sleep is non-negotiable; short-term targeted support can help you stabilize while you fix habits. Ditch “click tips”: rely on medically reviewed sources and qualified professionals, not viral trends. Intermittent fasting became popular from data on young male athletes; it may not suit tired, unwell adults—especially many women. If you feel chronically fatigued, stop overspending energy (e.g., high-mileage running) until your baseline improves. Personalized intake forms help spot red flags (e.g., long-standing dental work or patterns that don’t match symptoms). Progress proof: many clients report early wins (less bloating, fewer headaches, steadier mood) within weeks when they truly eat and sleep. Mindset matters: courage and hope, plus disciplined inputs, create the feedback loop that keeps you improving.   How to connect with the guest  : Website: On Diet and Health (Beverly’s home base for articles, resources, and her store) Podcast: Primal Diet – Modern Health (search on your podcast app)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Dr. Edward Feinberg—four decades in restorative dentistry and director of Onward—explains why fundamental engineering and biological principles must guide restorative choices. This episode contrasts crown & bridge techniques that preserve natural teeth with modern implant trends (including “all-on-4”), highlights common mistakes new dentists make when evaluating technology, and outlines practical steps to design restorations for longevity and cleanability. If you want clear guidance on when to save teeth, when to choose implants, and how to avoid predictable failures, listen for clinical examples, treatment philosophy, and Onward’s teaching approach to predictable crown & bridge success. About the Guest : Dr. Edward Feinberg is a restorative dentist and educator with over 40 years of clinical practice. Trained in multi-generational crown & bridge traditions, he directs the Onward teaching program and is finishing a textbook that codifies seven decades of documented restorative outcomes. His work emphasizes preservation, engineering-based design, and stepwise clinical rigor. Key takeaways: Preservation-first: prioritize saving natural teeth where possible; crown & bridge can create stable, long-lasting architecture. Engineering matters: restorations must follow mechanical and biological principles to resist bacterial infiltration and minimize failures. Crown design: properly executed crown & bridge ties teeth together, redistributes forces, and prevents recurrent decay when sealed correctly. Technology filter: new tools are valuable only if they conform to established clinical principles; digital/cheap in-office crowns can reproduce old “butt-joint” failures. Implant limits: implants are not a universal fix — overloaded or hard-to-clean implant prostheses (e.g., excessive superstructure) predict failure. All-on-4 cautions: flattening ridges and placing broad fixed superstructures can compromise future options and oral hygiene, risking irreversible outcomes. Material selection risk: extremely hard ceramics (e.g., some zirconia use) can damage underlying tooth structure and complicate future maintenance. Stepwise workflow: follow methodical steps, correct early errors, and accept revisits to ensure a predictable final result. Patient education: informed consent and offering choices builds trust and long-term relationships; preservation often improves quality of life. Clinical humility: be your own critic—don’t accept marginal results; long-term health over immediate convenience or profit.

On Healing Horizons, host Saima sits down with Dr. Faith Nelson to demystify hormones beyond puberty and menopause. We cover why estrogen dominance shows up in both women and men, how stress raises estrogen and suppresses progesterone and thyroid, and why a sluggish liver (500+ functions) can derail sleep, mood, skin, and metabolism. She outlines a practical, non-hype approach: clean up the liver, balance estrogen–progesterone, support adrenals/thyroid, then address the kidneys—paired with nutrition, grounding, breathwork, and clear health affirmations. If you want an actionable path that respects the body’s intelligence and fits real life, this is it.   About the guest:   Dr. Faith Nelson is a naturopathic practitioner and herbalist who co-runs a mother–daughter practice with Amoree Wilde ND focused on integrative hormonal health and education. She blends Chinese medicine principles with targeted herbal formulations and teaches accessible classes on hormone cycles for women and men.   Key takeaways: Hormones affect more than life stages: stress can elevate estrogen, lower progesterone and thyroid, and drive fatigue, cravings, cycle and sleep disruption. Look at the body as a system: adrenals, thyroid, liver, and kidneys interact; treating one axis in isolation misses the root patterns. Estrogen dominance is common—in women and men; aim for balance, not “spiking” any single hormone. Liver first: all hormones pass through the liver; sluggish detox can show up as acne, poor sleep, mood swings, and metabolic drag. Practical sequence: 1) support liver, 2) balance estrogen–progesterone, 3) stabilize adrenals/thyroid, 4) clean up kidneys (fight-or-flight by-products). Herbs should work with the body: targeted formulas plus nutrition often reduce symptoms without overriding physiology. Nutrition matters: minimize ultra-processed foods; emphasize whole foods for hormonal stability and better herbal efficacy. Daily practices: grounding (barefoot time or alternatives), breathwork, and affirmations (define what “healthy” looks like and reinforce it). Education empowers: understanding the full hormone cycle accelerates choices that improve mood, energy, skin, and sleep. Not either/or: natural strategies can complement conventional care; personalize and monitor changes.   Connect with the guest   Website & consultations: Fiducia Apothecary  Shop at https://livefiducia.com/shop     Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healing Horizons, we get clear about GLP-1—the gut-derived hormone behind today’s most discussed weight and metabolic therapies. Registered dietitian and health coach Roseanne Schnell explains what GLP-1 is, how GLP-1 agonists mimic natural physiology, and why outcomes improve only when medication and lifestyle work together. We cut through hype to discuss appetite regulation, blood sugar, digestion, muscle preservation, fiber, gut health, and mindset. You’ll learn how to think about short-term weight changes vs. long-term health, what “micro-dosing for longevity” aims to do, and the non-negotiables: protein, sleep, movement, stress management, and realistic goals. About the guest  : Roseanne Schnell is a certified dietitian and health coach focused on metabolic health, behavior change, and sustainable weight management. She helps clients pair evidence-based nutrition with movement, sleep, stress skills, and practical habit building. Key takeaways: GLP-1 is a natural hormone made in the gut that impacts appetite, satiety, blood sugar, digestion, and reward pathways. GLP-1 agonists (prescription medications) mimic the body’s pathway; they work best when paired with lifestyle—not as a stand-alone fix. Nutrition priorities: center protein to protect lean mass and satiety; build balanced plates (protein + fiber-rich carbs + healthy fats) to stabilize energy and blood sugar. Fiber matters for gut health, regularity, and smoother post-meal glucose response—especially since GLP-1 can slow gastric emptying. Gut health supports GLP-1: a diverse, fiber-fed microbiome helps overall metabolic signals. Lifestyle pillars that compound results: enjoyable movement, sleep quality, stress regulation, and social/emotional well-being. Mindset > perfection: define your why, set small realistic goals, track progress, and allow setbacks without “all-or-nothing” thinking. Medical vs. lifestyle: decisioning belongs with a licensed healthcare provider; personalize dosing/need and always integrate habits. Emerging interests like “micro-dosing for longevity” should be considered within medical guidance, with outcomes focused beyond weight (metabolism, brain health, inflammation) and grounded in evolving evidence. Safety: monitor side effects (e.g., constipation), prioritize hydration, fiber, protein, and ongoing clinician check-ins.

On Healing Horizons, we challenge the myth of “perfect health” with Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany, a St. Louis–based physician and founder of Virt Vitality Medical & Wellness Consulting. Drawing from her near-fatal preeclampsia experience and years treating high-performing women, Amy reframes wellness as values-aligned living across body, mind, spirit, and emotions. We unpack perimenopause and cognitive shifts, why “time management” is really priority management, and how to design simple, weekly rhythms that actually stick. If you’ve been hustling for flawless routines, this conversation helps you drop perfectionism and build practical, faith-anchored habits that support sustainable energy, clarity, and purpose. About the guest  : Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany is a physician and the founder of Virt Vitality Medical & Wellness Consulting. After surviving life-threatening preeclampsia while pregnant with twins, she rebuilt her practice around women’s holistic health—helping clients align faith, family, fitness, and purposeful work without chasing perfection.   Key takeaways : Perfection isn’t health: Real wellness is iterative—continuous assessment across physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual domains. Priority > time management: Align daily actions to top values so decisions become simpler and regret decreases. Name your Top 3 values: Spend a few focused hours selecting them; review as seasons change. Faith-first structure: Place the “big rocks” (faith, family, fitness) on the calendar before work; let the rest fill in. Perimenopause matters: Fluctuating estrogen can temporarily affect mental sharpness; plan high-focus work when you feel most resourced and give grace when cognition dips. Schedule all four quadrants weekly: Movement, nourishment, reflection/prayer, connection—none gets chronically ignored. From failure-fear to regret-avoidance: Choose actions you won’t regret rather than chasing faultless outcomes. Simple self-audit: Score each life domain 1–10 (physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, relationships). Set 5-week/5-month/5-year targets and work backward to today’s next step.   Connect with the guest   Instagram/Threads: @dramytiffany Website: http://www.vitalitymwc.org/ Book: The Postpartum Pivot (available on Amazon/Kindle)     Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this episode of Healing Horizons with host Saima, Yale PhD, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and U.S. Army Medical Service officer Dr. Crystal T. Harrell unpacks what real resilience looks like—beyond hustle and highlight reels. From growing up as the seventh of ten children in rural Alabama and losing her father at age 11 to blending science, service, and spirituality, Crystal explains how journaling, intention, and the concept of innate health helped her move from survival to alignment. We cover letting go of misaligned status goals, building the Student Well-Being Project, and the simple, relentless question: “Who am I?” Clear, grounded, and practical—this conversation turns self-discovery into a daily practice you can actually do.  About the guest:   Dr. Crystal T. Harrell is a Yale-trained public health scholar, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and U.S. Army Medical Service officer. Her work bridges rigorous research with lived experience to help students and communities cultivate emotional well-being, purpose, and aligned leadership.   Key takeaways: Resilience is trained, not gifted: it strengthens like a muscle through repeated use. Vision protects momentum: a clear picture of the future sustains action when motivation fades. Community matters: mentors and timely encouragers often catalyze life’s biggest steps. Science + spirit can align: research on innate health suggests our baseline is wholeness; symptoms signal misalignment. Numbers = people: data in wellness must be read with empathy and context. Journaling is a stabilizer: a straightforward daily practice for meaning-making and inner peace. Identity first, strategy second: ask “Who am I?” until the answer unfolds; let choices follow identity. Letting go creates capacity: releasing status-driven goals opens space for aligned opportunities. Body signals guide decisions: pay attention to anxiety and stress as alignment indicators. Student Well-Being Project: support must include academics and emotional health, with social connection as a core pillar.   Connect with the guest  : Website: https://crystaltharrell.com/YouTube and resources are linked on her site.

Her book Quantum Wellness outlines a structured method to analyze your chart and upgrade your life story.   Key takeaways  : Your story is creative power: The narratives you repeat shape health, money, relationships, work, and spiritual connection. Hero’s Journey + Human Design: Use your chart as a map of archetypes, then apply the Hero’s Journey to move from disruption to transformation and contribution. Not a label, a spectrum: Human Design isn’t “I am X.” It’s a dynamic range—shadow to potential—you can intentionally grow through. From crisis to growth: Don’t stop the story at the hard chapter. Practice post-traumatic growth by reframing challenge as a catalyst. Start with a story audit: Write the current story you tell about money, love, body, creativity, work, and connection—then write the version you intend to live. Run your chart + reflect: Use your chart to find root patterns (e.g., self-worth and pricing) and align behavior with authentic value. Everyday heroism counts: Quiet, consistent choices—rest, boundaries, honest speech—are real heroic acts. Daily anchors: Meditate, unplug, and get into nature to reconnect with your body’s truth and reduce narrative “noise.” Pen as a pattern-breaker: Rewrite your story on paper; the brain and body begin to reorganize around the new narrative. Permission to be seen: Claim your authentic needs (including retreat and recovery) and re-enter community with clarity and contribution.   How to connect with the guest   Website: quantumhumandesign.com Free chart: freehumandesignchart.com Book: Quantum Wellness (available on major retailers)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM – Send me a message on PodMatch DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

Most healthcare chases symptoms. Dr. Sean McCaffrey argues chronic illness is usually an overload problem — not a “broken body.” In this direct, practical conversation on Healing Horizons with Saima, we unpack his “MEN Factors” model (Mechanical, Emotional, Nutritional), how maladaptation shows up across digestion, elimination, hormones, nerves, muscles, and circulation, and why addressing all three together restores flow and resilience. We dive into stress physiology, breath-led vagal downshift, food timing vs. food type, Taoist movement for circulation, and real-world endocrine turnaround (thyroid/prostate case) without the hype. If you want an actionable map for chronic conditions rooted in science, systems thinking, and lived clinical judgment, this is it.   About the guest  : Dr. Sean McCaffrey is a physician and lifelong martial artist (40+ years) blending modern diagnostics with indigenous and Eastern modalities. For 25 years he has helped patients resolve chronic, degenerative conditions by rebalancing mechanical structure, emotional load, and nutritional chemistry.   Key takeaways: Chronic illness is often maladaptation to stress, not random failure. The MEN Factors framework targets three levers: Mechanical (structure/movement), Emotional (stress/processing), Nutritional (intake/timing/chemistry). Symptoms are effects, not causes; treat quality of life and hunt upstream drivers. Emotional load is frequently the prime mover; compartmentalizing mind–body care misses the whole. Watch for early system drift: digestion, elimination, endocrine balance, neural tone, circulation, muscle function. Food timing (controlling insulin spikes, avoiding “flooding the engine”) is often more impactful than food type—especially at the start. Use breathwork (slow 5-count exhale) to stimulate the vagus and shift from fight/flight/freeze to rest–digest–heal. Introduce gentle movement (e.g., Taoist exercises) to restore flow and circulation. Apply the T-E-A principle: Transform if you can; Eliminate if appropriate; otherwise Adapt (recognize, reject, replace, reinforce patterns). Meet patients where they are (scientific, spiritual, or blended lens) to speed understanding and outcomes.   Connect with the guest   Website: https://www.mccaffreyhealth.com/ Order the new book release, and our proprietary daily detox and liver support supplement (Elixir-Vita, ) and to book care services with Dr. Sean.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healing Horizons with Saima, TEDx speaker, endurance athlete, and Digital Detox Coach Colin Corby breaks down how to reclaim attention, protect sleep, and rebuild real-world connection without quitting tech. We cover practical digital detox habits (phone-free nights/mornings, offline breaks, single-tasking), how “business athletes” manage energy, why social metrics aren’t real connection, and the hidden sustainability cost of streaming, doom-scrolling, and heavy AI queries. If you’re overwhelmed by screens, this conversation gives you a direct, doable plan to reduce screen time, improve mental fitness, and use technology with intention.   About the guest:     Colin Corby is a UK-based TEDx speaker, endurance athlete, and creator of The Digital Detox Coach. After decades in tech—and a health scare in his 30s—he now helps people and organizations balance high-pressure digital work with human biology, so they can perform better without burning out.   Key takeaways: Balance is trained, not toggled: Focus and attention are learned skills. Treat yourself like a “business athlete”—prioritize sleep, recovery, movement, and nutrition to perform at work and at home. Bookend your day offline: Avoid phones one hour before bed and for the first hour after waking to protect sleep quality and morning focus. Design your environment: Keep the phone in another room during deep work or meals. A device in your pocket still pulls cognitive attention. Single-task for real productivity: The brain doesn’t multitask; it switches—and the switching tax destroys focus. Do one important thing at a time. Rebuild attention offline: Read paper books or play an instrument to retrain sustained focus without hyperlinks and ads. Redefine connection: Followers and likes aren’t community. Prioritize in-person relationships and shared experiences over solo scrolling. Micro-breaks, macro-benefits: Schedule 10–15-minute offline breaks (tea/coffee, a short walk, quick chat) to reset attention and mood. Sustainable tech use: Every stream, upload, and AI query consumes energy. Use tech purposefully; cut doom-scrolling and HD autoplay you don’t need. Start with awareness: Most habits shift in ~66 days. Make small, repeatable changes instead of crash detoxes. Choose the hard that helps: Real-world activities are harder than swiping—and that’s why they build resilience, identity, and well-being.   Connect with the guest  : Explore Colin’s resources, videos, and TEDx talk via the Digital Detox Coach website and YouTube channel.Requests or a specific resource you want from Colin?

On Healing Horizons with Sima, author and wellness advocate DK Kang shares how he navigated his wife’s cancer diagnosis, sudden job loss, and financial stress by reframing fear, anchoring in faith, and building daily practices that support the body, mind, and spirit. We unpack practical tools—mindset shifts rooted in Philippians 4, breathwork, mindful sleep, movement, and a whole-food approach (including kimchi and fermented foods) that DK credits with supporting resilience. This is a direct, grounded look at healing in real life: less hype, more habits you can start today. About the guest   DK Kang is an author, lifelong martial artist, and licensed massage therapist focused on performance, recovery, and pain management. He wrote Mindset Metamorphosis and a kimchi-forward cookbook, translating lived experience into actionable frameworks for resilience, gratitude, and everyday healing. Key takeaways (policy-checked)   Reframe crises with ownership: shift from “why me?” to “why not us—and who can this help later?” to reduce rumination and act decisively. Faith as nervous-system support: DK cites Philippians 4 to redirect anxiety into prayer, gratitude, and practical next steps. Mind-body link in pain: unprocessed emotions can amplify physical tension; movement, bodywork, and community care help interrupt the loop. Start small with nutrition: add one whole food at a time (e.g., broccoli sprouts, colorful “rainbow” plates); crowd out processed foods and sugary drinks. Fermented foods for gut support: kimchi and other probiotics may aid the microbiome; slow, consistent changes beat extreme overhauls. Mindfulness stack: simple breathwork, sunlight exposure, mindful eating (chew slowly), and screen-off wind-downs improve sleep and stress tolerance. Replace victimhood with agency: journaling and daily disciplines (movement, prayer/meditation, nourishing meals) create momentum even in hard seasons. Learn, then test: books, podcasts, and documentaries can inspire—use them to design n=1 experiments and keep what helps. Platform compliance note: Potentially violating claim found.

In this enlightening episode of Healing Horizons, host Pragya welcomes Dr. Will Tuttle, visionary author of The World Peace Diet and Food for Freedom, to explore how our daily food choices shape not only our health—but our consciousness, culture, and the planet itself.A former Zen monk and global peace advocate, Dr. Tuttle shares profound insights into the spiritual and ethical dimensions of food, the domination of the sacred feminine in our food systems, and how compassion on our plates can lead to peace in our hearts and societies. This conversation is a call to awaken—to see every meal as an act of mindfulness, a choice that ripples through ecosystems and human consciousness. If you’ve ever wondered how your diet connects to your purpose, healing, and freedom, this episode is your invitation to rethink nourishment from the inside out.   About the Guest:   Dr. Will Tuttle is a visionary educator, former Zen monk, and award-winning author best known for The World Peace Diet, a groundbreaking work translated into over 16 languages. His teachings weave together spirituality, ecology, and compassion, showing how food becomes the foundation for both personal and planetary peace. Alongside his wife, artist and musician Madeleine Tuttle, he travels the world sharing lectures, concerts, and retreats on vegan living, consciousness, and the evolution of humanity toward a more compassionate world.     Key Takeaways: Our food choices reflect our values—eating plant-based is an act of compassion that nourishes body, mind, and spirit. Food carries energy (prana); eating consciously raises our vibration and influences our emotional and mental well-being. The domination of animals in agriculture mirrors broader systems of exploitation, including the suppression of the sacred feminine and nature. Conscious, plant-based living fosters freedom—freeing animals, ecosystems, and ourselves from cycles of harm. Healing our relationship with food naturally heals our relationship with the Earth and one another. True health and peace are spiritual states that begin with awareness, mindfulness, and gratitude at every meal. The “Benevolent Revolution” Dr. Tuttle envisions starts not in politics or corporations but in daily acts of conscious consumption.   Connect with the Guest  : Website & resources: worldpeacediet.com Books: The World Peace Diet, The World Peace Way Music, art, and events available on the website.   Follow his global message of peace, vegan consciousness, and spiritual evolution across his social platforms.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healing Horizons, we get practical about staying human in a world moving fast. Guests Sheri Laine (East-West wellness educator) and Gary Seidler (retired publisher and culture commentator) cut through noise to focus on the basics: balance across body–mind–spirit, sleep and relationships as real health levers, community as medicine, and simple grounding practices that reconnect you to yourself. We also examine tension between tech progress and human connection, and how intentional lifestyle choices—food from the earth, movement, rest, honest emotion—protect mental clarity and resilience. SEO: humanness, body mind spirit, wellness, sleep, relationships, grounding, community, mindful living, technology and humanity, Healing Horizons podcast.   About the guests  : Sheri Laine is a wellness educator integrating East-West perspectives to help people regulate energy, emotions, and lifestyle for everyday health.Gary Seidler is a retired publisher and social observer who champions kindness, community, and practical balance in uncertain times.   Key takeaways: Balance is the point. Health holds when body, mind, and spirit are in equilibrium; neglect one and the others pay for it. Mind leads energy. Clear thoughts and regulated emotions support better physiology and day-to-day performance. Lifestyle is medicine. Whole foods, regular movement, adequate sleep, honest emotional expression, nature time, and simple creativity stabilize mood and immunity. Community heals. Find or build circles—in parks, classes, clubs, and neighborhoods—where shared practice keeps you accountable and connected. Counter the “human doing.” Schedule space for being: meditation, art, play, silence, and time outdoors. Two starter practices: stand barefoot on natural ground to reset your nervous system; give and receive genuine hugs (or self-hug) to self-soothe and reconnect. Tech with discernment. Embrace useful tools while protecting time for relationships, rest, and presence. Kindness scales. Micro-acts of care are a realistic antidote to fear-based culture and help communities stay humane.   Connect with the guests:   Website: https://balancedenerqi.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/immigrants_road/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healing Horizons with Saima, David Hunter—founder of Global Phytoplankton—explains why the ocean’s tiniest plants may be the most overlooked source of cellular nutrition. We cover what makes phytoplankton different from spirulina/chlorella, its dense micronutrient and omega-3 profile, and why its microscopic size may support mitochondrial function and energy. David connects ocean ecology, sustainability, and practical wellness: foundational nutrition, digestion, sleep, skin, and vitality. This direct, science-curious conversation separates hype from first principles and explores where phytoplankton fits in a modern nutrition stack. Guest: David Hunter. About the guest : David Hunter is the founder of Global Phytoplankton. For nearly two decades he has focused on cultivating marine phytoplankton for human and pet nutrition, advocating a “first principles” approach that starts with base-level micronutrients from the oceanic food chain. Key takeaways: Foundation first: Phytoplankton is positioned as the planet’s base food source and a concentrated provider of micronutrients, antioxidants, and omega-3 precursors that support whole-body wellness. Cell-level framing: Because phytoplankton is microscopic, David argues it can nourish the mitochondria—the cell’s “engine”—without heavy digestive burden. Broad nutrient coverage: Rather than guessing single-nutrient fixes (e.g., just iron or magnesium), a broad-spectrum input may help address multiple minor deficiencies at once. Ecology ↔ humans: Ocean health and human health are linked. Phytoplankton generates significant planetary oxygen and sits at the start of marine food chains that ultimately supply omega-3s. Complement, don’t replace: Even if adding phytoplankton, smart basics still matter: balanced diet, hydration, sleep, stress management, and professional medical guidance. Pets, too (anecdotal): David reports pet owners noticing mobility and energy shifts in older dogs; these are anecdotal and should not replace veterinary care. Quality & consistency: If you experiment with any supplement, monitor dose, timing, and personal response; buy from reputable producers and consult your clinician if you have conditions, are pregnant, or take medications. Sustainability note: Interest is growing in marine micro-nutrition that supports human vitality while encouraging responsible ocean stewardship.

In this powerful episode of Healing Horizons, host Pragya sits down with Dr. Marissa Heisel—a holistic chiropractor, midwife, and women's health advocate—to decode the truth about midlife health. We explore how society conditions women to fear aging, how the medical system often undermines women's intuition, and why reclaiming bodily sovereignty is more critical than ever. Dr. Heisel sheds light on how small, conscious changes can lead to radical shifts in well-being and how to step into midlife not with fear, but with fierce clarity, wisdom, and power. This conversation is a must-listen for any woman navigating hormonal changes, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or a desire to reconnect with her body’s natural intelligence. Tune in for a grounded, no-hype conversation about midlife wellness that breaks through the myths, honors your lived experience, and invites you back home to yourself.   About the Guest:Dr. Marissa Heisel is a holistic chiropractor, midwifery expert, and transformational guide with over 26 years of experience. She works with women and families through the life cycle—focusing especially on childbirth and midlife transitions—helping them reclaim their authority over their health and healing.   Key Takeaways:This episode is rich with insight for women navigating midlife or hormonal change: Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a critical awakening. Dr. Heisel reframes it as a stage where women step into their deepest knowing and embodied power. Society profits from disempowering women at pivotal times like childbirth and menopause by medicalizing natural processes and pathologizing normal emotions. True healing begins with reclaiming bodily autonomy—starting with small, consistent, conscious changes in food, lifestyle, and mindset. Visibility and vulnerability are part of the healing path. Dr. Heisel shares how stepping into midlife also meant stepping into greater visibility and authenticity. Emotional stress, outdated cultural scripts, and constant fear messaging erode well-being. Creating inner space through breathwork, nature, and stillness is more essential now than ever. Women are not broken. Hormonal shifts are natural, not a disease. There's no one-size-fits-all fix—personalized approaches work best. Daily embodiment practices like journaling, breath awareness, and defining your values help break resistance and foster trust in one’s own wisdom.  Connect with Dr. Marissa Heisel: Website: https://www.elementalhealingarts.life/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healing Horizons, host Pragya dives deep into the transformative connection between mindset and medicine with cardiologist-turned-holistic health pioneer, Dr. Julius Torelli. After decades in conventional cardiology, Dr. Torelli uncovered a deeper layer of healing—one rooted in emotional well-being, mindfulness, and gratitude. He shares how his Gratefully Well Method redefines health by integrating emotional insight, conscious choice, and practical healing tools like gratitude practices. We explore the powerful physiology of thoughts, how chronic conditions like migraines and IBS often stem from unresolved emotional stress, and why shifting from passive patient to active health participant is the key to lasting wellness. Learn how simple choices, like reframing a frustrating moment with gratitude, can create measurable changes in your nervous system, hormones, and overall health. This episode is essential listening for anyone experiencing burnout, chronic symptoms, or simply searching for a deeper understanding of healing that goes beyond prescriptions.   About the Guest:   Dr. Julius Torelli is a board-certified cardiologist and the creator of the Gratefully Well Method. With decades of clinical experience, he now focuses on integrative healing that combines Western medical insights with emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness. He is also the author of Holistic Health Pathways.   Key Takeaways : Root causes matter: Dr. Torelli explains that many chronic symptoms like migraines, fatigue, and pain are often “medically unexplained,” rooted not in physical issues but in unaddressed emotional stress. Your thoughts change your body: Thoughts are not abstract—they create measurable changes in physiology. Stressful beliefs can elevate blood pressure, tighten muscles, and increase pain. Shifting thoughts can reverse this. Gratitude is medicine: Practicing gratitude—especially “on-the-fly” during stressful situations—can calm the nervous system, improve heart health, and boost emotional resilience. It's an accessible, science-backed tool anyone can use. Healing begins with choice: Patients must move from passivity to active participation in their healing journey. True transformation happens when people take ownership, change behaviors, and become their own advocates. Western medicine isn’t enough: While medications help manage symptoms, they often don't address the root emotional and mental patterns causing illness. Holistic healing bridges that gap.   Connect with the Guest   Learn more about Dr. Julius Torelli and the Gratefully Well Method: https://gratefullywell.com Check out his book Holistic Health Pathways on Amazon   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PodMatch:DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Check Podcast Shows & Be a Guest:   Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind Our Services   Business Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/ Individual Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/ Share Your Story With the World: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory Stay Tuned and Follow Us   Medium: https://medium.com/@contentbyavik YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavik Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavik LinkedIn (Avik): https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/podhealthclub Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ Share Your Review   Google Review: https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/ Video Testimonial: https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.co

In this powerful episode of Healing Horizons, host Pragya Malva sits down with wellness coach Jovonnie Ford to unpack the hidden layers of chronic inflammation and its deep ties to hormone imbalances, emotional trauma, and lifestyle. From her near-accident wake-up call to being diagnosed with Stage 4 endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis, and fibroids—Jovonnie shares her raw, inspiring journey of reclaiming her health. Together, they explore how inflammation goes beyond the physical body to impact mindset, emotions, and spirit—and how true healing begins with a radical shift in self-love, stress reduction, and nourishing daily rituals. If you or someone you love is feeling burnt out, disconnected, or chronically unwell, this episode offers a clear, compassionate path toward empowered healing. About the Guest:Jovonnie Ford is a Healthy Habits & Lifestyle Coach and host of The Empire Plates Podcast. A survivor of chronic reproductive inflammation, Jovonnie now guides women through holistic healing frameworks focused on mindset, mindful eating, and sustainable movement. Her mission is to help women heal from the root and build a thriving life, free from chronic pain and emotional burnout. Key Takeaways : Chronic inflammation isn’t just physical—it affects your emotions, hormones, and nervous system. Jovonnie's wake-up call came in the form of debilitating pain that led to multiple diagnoses: endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, and adenomyosis. True healing began not just with anti-inflammatory food but by changing her relationship with herself. Inflammation shows up as fatigue, bloating, insomnia, joint pain, and hormone disruption. Jovonnie’s “M³ Method” includes: Mindset, Mindful Eating, and Movement—core pillars for healing. Emotional inflammation—resentment, shame, and unprocessed trauma—also fuels physical symptoms. Breathwork, gentle movement like walking or yoga, and gratitude journaling are effective tools to regulate your nervous system and reduce inflammation. Self-love and consistency are more important than perfection in any healing journey. Begin with one empowered step: a nourishing meal, a slow breath, or setting a boundary. Your body is not against you—it’s trying to communicate. Learn to listen with compassion.

In this 30-minute episode of Healing Horizons with Saima, hypnotherapist and author Craig Meriwether explains how past-life regression therapy works and why it can relieve long-standing emotional and physical patterns. We cover Craig’s path from conventional religion to hypnotherapy, the science and research that inform his work (including references to Michael Newton’s life-between-lives findings), and practical examples of how revisiting earlier lifetimes or soul-family dynamics can unblock trauma, shame, and recurring life patterns. This episode is for the curious and skeptical alike — whether you treat past lives as metaphors or literal histories, you’ll get concrete tools to approach healing differently. Tune in for a grounded, evidence-minded conversation that bridges spirituality and therapeutic technique. About the Guest: Craig Meriwether — Certified hypnotherapist, past-life regression facilitator, and author of The Past Lives Guidebook. Craig trained extensively in hypnotherapy with an emphasis on past-life work; his approach blends clinical technique, curiosity, and a careful look at existing research into consciousness and life-between-lives experiences. Key Takeaways : Past-life regression is a therapeutic technique that can reveal patterns and wounds that feel persistent in this life, offering a pathway to release and transformation. Regression work does not require full literal belief; it can serve as a symbolic framework to reframe entrenched emotional reactions and behavioral patterns. Craig’s training combined standard hypnotherapy foundations with a final module focused on past-life regression, giving clinicians tools for both symptom relief and spiritual exploration. Research and case literature (e.g., Michael Newton’s Journey of Souls) show consistent, repeatable reports from regressed clients about the life-between-lives narrative. Regression can surface connected roles across multiple lives—soul families and recurring relational patterns—that explain why some relationships repeat or carry intense charge. Clients often report relief from long-standing anxieties, shame, and phobias after tracing their origins through regression and releasing the associated emotions. The technique complements mainstream therapies (e.g., hypnotherapy, EMDR) rather than replacing them; it’s a tool to access deeper subconscious material. Skepticism is valid; Craig recommends an evidence-informed approach and invites curious listeners to weigh both subjective reports and neuroscientific findings. Whether taken metaphorically or literally, past-life regression can expand a client’s sense of meaning and agency, making healing less about blame and more about learning.
