Today's episode is a bit different. This is a local lecture I did on Peace.
I explore the vital role of peace in our overall health and well-being. While many believe that diet is the single most important factor, I challenge that assumption by suggesting that effective stress management may actually have an even greater impact on health.
Drawing on tools from functional medicine, I explain how our autonomic nervous system influences our ability to find peace, emphasizing the need for a sense of safety and balance. I share insights into how practices like meditation and positive thinking can change our genetic expression, improve heart rate variability, and support both mental and physical wellness.
Elise Spofford joins us to guide a brief meditation exercise. We also discuss our upcoming wellness retreat in Costa Rica, a peaceful setting where we can deepen our connection to inner calm and vitality. (01:17) Importance of stress management over diet.
