What if one of the oldest beauty rituals wasn’t found in a jar—but simmering in your grandmother’s kitchen?

In this episode of the PUSH Sea Moss Podcast, Cynthia takes us home—from her mother’s kitchen in Houston to the warmth of Jamaica—to explore the tradition of chicken foot soup and the cultural wisdom behind nourishing the body from the inside out.

We talk collagen, skin, joints, traditional broths, Jamaican ingredients, and why cultures around the world have valued slow-cooked, nutrient-rich foods for generations. We also explore the PUSH philosophy of “Eat it. Drink it. Wear it.” and how food, beauty, ancestry, and wellness can all be part of the same conversation.

Because this journey isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about learning how to nourish ourselves, reconnect with traditions, and make healthier choices together.

Thank you for continuing on this healing and healthy journey with us.

In this episode of the PUSH Sea Moss Podcast, Cynthia Gitonga opens up a conversation about preparing the body for one of life’s most incredible journeys—creating life.

We explore how nutrition, minerals, rest, stress, and everyday lifestyle choices can play a role in reproductive wellness for both women and men. Cynthia also talks about sea moss and its mineral-rich profile, the PUSH Sea Moss blends, foods that can help nourish the body before pregnancy, and why pregnancy is also a time to be especially mindful about supplements and natural ingredients.

Because preparing for life isn’t only about conception—it’s about creating a strong, nourished foundation for what comes next.

Thank you for going on this healthy journey with us.

Before farm-to-table became a trend, it was simply a way of life.

In this episode of the PUSH Sea Moss Podcast, host Cynthia Gitonga explores the beautiful legacy of Edna Lewis, the legendary chef who helped preserve and elevate the story of seasonal Southern cooking, farming, and food rooted in the land.

We talk about Edna’s beginnings in Freetown, Virginia, the traditions that shaped her cooking, and how so much of what we now call farm-to-table, clean eating, seasonal living, and even slow living has deep roots in Black communities.

Cynthia also takes the conversation to Jamaica, where growing your own food, harvesting coconuts, making castor oil, using herbs, raising animals, and knowing the people behind your food have been part of everyday life for generations. She shares how these same traditions inspire PUSH Sea Moss and PUSH Farms today.

This episode is about more than food. It’s about ancestry, ownership, wellness, farming, memory, and returning to the source—and remembering that some of today’s biggest wellness “trends” aren’t new at all.

Come sit with us. 🌿

Welcome back to the PUSH Sea Moss Podcast! In this episode, I’m getting a little personal and sharing my own journey with sea moss—how I was introduced to it, how I started using it, and why it eventually became such an important part of my wellness routine.

We’re breaking down what sea moss can do for the gut, skin, and overall body, while talking about some of the minerals and nutrients that make it such an interesting addition to your daily routine. We’ll also chat about the different types of sea moss we offer for gut health, plus our sea moss masks for the skin.

And because we love a good beauty ritual, we’re introducing GITONGA Ritual Castor Oil and Ritual Coconut Oil—bringing that farm-to-face philosophy into our everyday self-care.

So grab your sea moss, get comfortable, and let’s talk about why this little ocean plant has become such a big part of the conversation around gut health, skin health, and healthy living. 🌊💚
