info_outlineJoin Jason Goldberg and Mona Sharma on the very first episode of The Jason Goldberg is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! Jason and Mona have a really dynamic and profound conversation about all things related to nutrition, mental health, emotions and wellness. You will learn the best practices on how to nurture your body the right way, how to listen and interpret the signs your body is giving you, how to practice self love and self knowledge on a deeper level, and how to deal with hidden feelings and fear.
“Your body will take you a lot further once you acknowledge it.” – Mona Sharma
Mona also talks about the 3 pillars that will help you achieve optimal health – physically and mentally. Food, which we consider to be just a fuel our body needs to keep functioning, but can actually work as medicine once we understand its own true properties; yoga, an ancient exercise and relaxation modality, treated in this concept as a source of movement; and meditation, the practice of refocusing and reconnecting to the present moment - which can be beneficial in order to heal inflammation and stress. These 3 pillars can reestablish energy inside you in a very powerful way.
“Something as little as a nutrition deficiency can completely drain you. Any symptom that you have is draining energy from you.” – Mona Sharma
