Key Takeways You’ll learn: The difference between surface-level self-care and soul-level self-care My four-part proven method: MINDSET. BODY. TIME. TRANSFORMATION. How to start creating small, meaningful habits that lead to lasting change Practical self-care tips to start using today Why releasing guilt around rest and self-prioritization is essential This episode is your permission slip to put yourself back on your own list — not someday, today. Journaling Prompt I share in this episode: “If I treated myself like someone I deeply loved, what would I do differently today?” Whether you're teetering on burnout, or just ready to take your self-care deeper — this one’s for you.

Dr. Radowitz has a wealth of experience in treating patients with addictions and seeing firsthand the effects that trauma can have on our physical health.Dr. Radowitz joined Nushama to oversee and develop various treatment modalities because of his belief that psychedelic medicine is the future of mental wellness and that current solutions treat symptoms only and do not address the underlying issues.

He has been and continues on a spiritual journey through the study of Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, studied transcendental meditation and various forms of yoga. Dr. Radowitz has a passion for preventive medicine, getting to the true source of disease before it manifests.
