Welcome to “The Emergent Human where we explore Optimizing Health, Embodied Spirituality and Post Conventional Living.
Ostrolenk speaks with Pilar Geroseemo, an award-winning health journalist, pioneering social explorer, and author of a new book, “The Healthy Deviant: A Rule-Breaker’s Guide to Being Healthy in an Unhealthy World.” She is best known for her work as founding editor of Experience Life magazine, and also served as top health editor for The Huffington Post and as visiting faculty for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Today, Pilar co-hosts a top-rated podcast called The Living Experiment and teaches online courses through her digital learning platform, Healthy Deviant Academy.
Pilar discusses societal expectations and how her own experience with such at a younger age drove her to be less happy and less healthy. Gaining inspiration to change her experience, she learned the importance of experimenting with one’s comfort zone, developing practices that keep one aware, and the value of taking a break. Pilar notes that it is statistically more likely that a person is unhealthy than it is that they are healthy. She expresses hope for the possibility of creating a better way of living on this planet.
