116. Supporting Endometriosis Through Diet & Lifestyle with Cindy Dabrowska

Shivani Gupta is an author, speaker, and Ayurveda expert. At its most basic level, Ayurveda is the science of life – a traditional Hindu system of medicine that uses diet, herbal treatment, and yogic breathing to promote balance between mind, body, and spirit. There are a lot of Ayurveda practitioners out there digging into the clinical side of things, but Shivani focuses more on the research – what is the science behind Ayurveda and what do these herbs really do for us? Shivani takes the knowledge and ancient wisdom of Ayurvedic practices and adapts it to a modern life so that we can have healthier digestion and lives. We Chat About: Growing up exposed to Indian culture What Ayurveda is & the science behind it Looking at the body as a whole The mind-body-spirit connection Studying herbology Creating Fusionary Formulas supplements Why all herbs + supplements aren’t made equal Herbs that are great for gut health General guidelines for healthy meals The Ayurvedic perspective on animal products Getting in tune with your body Resetting your gut with a cleanse Writing The Conscious Pregnancy Book Resources: Learn more at shivanigupta.com Connect with Shivani: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Check out Fusionary Formulas supplements Read: The Conscious Pregnancy Book Connect With Us: iTunes: https://bit.ly/wineandshine Mentioned in this...

On April 20th, we had so much fun hosting a live event called Harness Your Fear with former guests Ashley Rector (Founder of Harness Magazine) and Julie Wojno (Health Coach & Fitness Instructor). We talked all about the fear that holds us back from chasing our wildest dreams. The fear that screams "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" or "WHAT IF YOU FAIL?" The fear that seeds self-doubt where self-confidence ought to shine. The fear that keeps you safe (stuck), right where you are, instead of living the life of your dreams. It's not about being fearLESS – it's about knowing how to harness your fear to live FULL OUT! We Chat About: Wine of the Day: Shout out to Wine on High for providing delicious wine! Stories about how Liz, Nina, Ashley, and Julie have all harnessed their fears How Julie inspired Nina The science of energy How we all find balance + alignment in our lives Mastering your fear (without family support) Daily rituals for a positive mindset Resources: Check out HarnessMagazine.com Connect with Julie: JulieWojno.com | Instagram | Facebook Shout out to LIT Life + Yoga for hosting: litlifeyoga.com Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert Connect With Us: iTunes: https://bit.ly/wineandshine Join our FB Group: The Wine and Shiners Like our FB Page: Wine & Shine Podcast Mentioned in this...

Today’s episode really touched our hearts, in a way we weren’t quite expecting when we started recording. Our guest is Amber Runyon, Founder of Eleventh Candle Co., a product line launched through Legacy, a non-profit based out of Columbus. Collectively, these two organizations are working globally to redeem, restore, empower, and equip those vulnerable to human trafficking, abuse, exploitation, and addiction. Human trafficking is probably not at all like what you think it is – and unfortunately, it’s also probably not as far away as you think it is. The silver lining is that there are people out there like Amber making a huge difference, and she shows that even small acts – like buying a candle – can be used to empower others. We’ve been taking our Care/of vitamins and we feel great! They’re a unique monthly vitamin service that focuses on honest guidance, better ingredients, and personalization. You just answer a quick questionnaire about your goals, lifestyle, and values – then they will help you pick vitamins that are good for your body.
