For this episode, my guest Dr. Christine Gibson, MD, CCFP is a family doctor and trauma therapist in equity-denied communities, author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit, and goes by “tiktoktraumadoc" on TikTok. In our talk, we explore modern trauma and how to recognize, process and potentially heal from it. Trauma is more pervasive in society than we realize, and our healers—including doctors and therapists—often lack the adequate tools and time to address these deep-seated issues. This is a topic many of us doctors weren’t taught much about in medical school and patients often struggle to articulate their feelings surrounding it. And whether we are doctors or patients, we struggle because of this collective gap in proper knowledge around trauma. Fortunately, Dr. Gibson offers valuable insights to help fill in the gap. We define modern trauma and why it has become so problematic, how we can heal and move forward from trauma, the difference between resilience and post-traumatic growth, and so much more. While we still have a long way to go in understand trauma, healing is possible for anyone willing to seek it. I hope that our discussion helps you to better understand modern trauma and to more effectively heal from your own trauma wounds.

We explore ancient healing for modern life with my longtime friend Hamid Jabbar. Hamid helps to facilitate healing for people through the power of plant medicines and a variety of healing methods. In this episode, Hamid details his deep dive into the world of ancient healing practices, with the main focus on Ayahuasca. He explains Ayahuasca’s history, its traditional use by Amazonian tribes and its potential for healing in our modern times. We discuss the safety warning against use of certain medications prior to an ayahuasca ceremony so please pay close attention to this important disclaimer. Hamid concludes with considerations for those interested in an ayahuasca experience. And remember, we have a special offer this season as each episode ends with a short guided meditation that you can practice on your own and revisit them, any time. We hope that our discussion helps you to better understand the potential of ancient healing for modern life.

To kick off this brand new season, we discuss grief with AmarAtma Khalsa, a Grief Specialist and Coach. With a dual Master's Degree in Chinese Medicine and Ministry as well as experience as a Board Certified Chaplain at both adult and children's hospitals, AmarAtma integrates a variety of practices including somatic exercises, breathing techniques, mindfulness, and self-love. This unique approach helps alleviate the heaviness, overwhelm, and powerlessness that often comes with grief, which ultimately, can help any person transform their life after loss. In this episode, we first tackle the definition of grief. We explore why grief is not talked about nearly enough with one another (and why we should). Amaratma then helps to distinguish between healthy versus unhealthy ways of grieving. We also discuss the importance of grief work for better health and practical approaches for those in the active grieving process. And we have a special offer this season with short guided meditations at the end of the episodes so you can practice on your own and revisit them at any time. To anyone who has experienced loss, big or small, and suffered from grief, I dedicate this episode, from my heart to yours. I truly hope that this discussion helps you along your journey of healing.

Why does something bad have to happen to our health before we finally feel motivated to do something about it? As a society, we react to health problems rather than prevent them. From grade school to college, no one is teaching us how to be healthy and stay that way. So, I did research to create my own plan. Through the process, my body returned to its natural state of being because I redefined health for myself. This begs the question - how do you define health? I am Dr. Jonar and this is my podcast, the Glass Half Healthy! As a trained physician and CEO of 4 Truth Health Coaching, I will help redefine health and wellbeing through conversations with thought provoking guests. So, join me on this journey as we walk together on the path of healthier living.

In honor of my 4-year anniversary of eating plant-based, I wanted to offer you a practical way to prepare healthy, inexpensive, and tasty plant based meals. So I could not think of anyone better than Toni Okamoto, the founder of Plant-Based on a Budget, author of the Plant-Based on a Budget Cookbook, co-author of The Friendly Vegan Cookbook, and the co-host of The Plant-Powered People Podcast. In this episode, we discuss her unique upbringing that influenced her approach to food. Toni then successfully turned a passion project into her current profession teaching others how to break their meat habit without breaking the bank. With Plant-Based on a Budget, Toni offers affordable time efficient plant-based meal planning accessible to all. We also discuss her perspective on the common misconceptions and main benefits of plant-based eating, the importance of meal planning as a way to mitigate poor eating choices and so much more. I hope our discussion helps inspire you to make healthy, affordable, and tasty plant based meals for you and your loved ones to enjoy!
