The Art of Living Well Podcast®

Kristina Marusic is an award-winning journalist at Environmental Health Sciences who covers environmental health and justice at EHN.org and DailyClimate.org. She holds an MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of San Francisco, and her personal essays and reporting have been published by outlets including CNN, Slate, Vice, Women's Health, The Washington Post, MTV News, The Advocate, and Bustle, among others. She recently published her first book: "A New War on Cancer: The Unlikely Heroes Revolutionizing Prevention", which we dive into and discuss in our conversation with Kristina.

We're all exposed to dozens of chemicals that raise our cancer risk every day, but there's an emerging national movement of people dedicated to changing that, and Kristina shares their inspiring stories, along with the ways we can all pitch in to help make the world a safer place in her book and in our conversation.

In today's episode you will learn:

• How the United States spends so little on cancer prevention versus treatments (and why).

• What are PFAS chemicals, where you can find them and how they raise our risk for certain types of cancer, thyroid disease, obesity, fertility problems and more.

• The importance of protecting everyone through policy changes to remove these chemicals from our products, drinking water, food and more.

• Why filtering your water is one of the best things you can do to reduce your exposure to chemicals, and what are the best type of filters.

• Resources and tips to slowly swap out your household and personal care products in order to reduce your overall exposure to cancer causing toxins.

• Why childhood cancer rates have been on the rise over the last few decades.

We are doing an Instagram giveaway for a free copy of Kristina's book. Head over to Instagram or send us an email ([email protected]) by February 2nd at mindnight central time to enter this drawing.

Happy New Year! As we kick-off 2024, we want to let you know how grateful we are for our listeners and we wish each of you a happy, healthy and wonderful new year.

Today's show is one of our favorite annual episodes about the new year's health trends. See our exciting list below, and listen to this episode where we dive deeper into each of these trends, and provide tips and resources on how to implement them into your life.

• Movement - Strength training will continue to be the key to longevity. Group fitness and community activities like tennis, pickleball and golf will continue to gain in popularity. Artificial Intelligence will also play a bigger role in helping people customize their workouts using personal metrics to determine their readiness.

• Fuel ("diet") - More focus on a whole-foods and well-rounded, plant-based diet, as well as consuming adequate protein. We also dive in and talk about the "Ozempic" class of GLP-1 agonists drugs that are now being used for weight loss.

• Lifestyle - Community saunas and hot/cold plunge retreats are popping up everywhere.
  • We also discuss habit stacking and using red light therapy and PEMF mats.
  • Look out for more transformative travel and retreats to combine the experience of adventure, community & culture with your health & wellness goals.
• Rest - Sleep is often the best medicine. Listen to your body when it needs rest, and modify your workouts based on the quality of your zzz's.
• Supplements - Don't guess, test! There's a supplement for everything now, but we don't recommend taking supplements because your friend or social media feed suggested it. Let us help you test, don't guess!

We are excited to welcome the new year and we wish you all the best! Drop us a note and share with us which of these trends you want to focus on in 2024.

xoxo - Marnie and Stephanie

The "Sauna Papi" is none other than Luis Leonardo, the co-founder of Sauna Strong, a sauna and cold therapy service. Luis's name developed organically through countless sauna sessions with close friends, who recognized his passion for creating a space where people could connect and share an experience while working through extreme heat.

With the help of his right-hand man, Harrison Klein, a breathing guru, Luis has now formalized the Sauna Papi lifestyle, applying breath to essential stressors such as sauna, cold, and exercise. This approach has transformed their lives and they are now excited to share it with the world.

Through workshops, classes, and retreats, Sauna Papi and Harrison offer a structured approach to wellness that enables individuals to develop a toolbox around breath and mindset, better equipping them to handle the stressors of life.

In this episode we discuss:

• How heat and cold therapy can change your physical and mental health.

• The story of "The Sauna Papi."

• Process of submerging in cold water and what that experience is like.

• Benefits of cold water therapy.

• The power of breathwork during these therapies and beyond.

• Community retreats and camps held all winter long in Minnesota.

Catharine Arnston is an expert in algae nutrition, a wellness thought leader, an experienced entrepreneur, and sought after speaker.

Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking).

As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born.

In this episode you will learn:

• A brief background on the different types of algae and how they are the most nutrient dense food in the world.

• How algae can help flatten inflammation, reduce chronic disease, boost your immunity, improve digestion, hair, skin, brain focus, athletic performance and so much more.

• The science behind how our body makes energy, how free radicals damage our mitochondria, and how taking ENERGYbits can prevent this from happening.

• The benefits of algae over collagen including how both spirulina and chlorella are complete protein sources.

• The power of algae to help with longevity and brain health, and the positive impact that spirulina has in protecting our telomeres from damage.

• Stories from customers who have taken ENERGYbits and their life changing experiences.

These little bits of nutrient dense food cost less than $1/day (less when using code living). Why not give it a try and experience some of these incredible benefits for yourself?

Laura Zelle is Director of Holocaust Education at the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, (JCRC) where she has been on staff since 2005. Laura oversees the daily operations of the program, writing grants and delivering curriculum, educator workshops, speakers, and film showings. She has been responsible for the vision and creation of numerous educational resources.

Laura's creativity and dedication to anti-bias education is apparent in her latest national project. After forming a separate non-profit in 2012 called "Tolerance in Motion", Laura raised funds, recruited board members and envisioned the narrative path for a traveling exhibition that would eventually be accepted by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service ("SITES"). Four years later, in 2016, Laura pitched the idea to the Smithsonian and soon became the project director for the "The Bias Inside Us." The four-year tour, developed with multiple national advisory councils, Smithsonian colleagues, and content experts from Harvard University is a community engagement effort that raises awareness about the social science and psychology of implicit bias, the impact of this bias and what people can do about it. Along with a small group of co-curators, Laura shaped the vision for the project and worked on a national level securing funding, resources, international artwork, creating the design and media components including an interactive video, designed the website and recruited educational partners across the country.

Laura's commitment to Holocaust education is evident in the work she has done at the JCRC to ensure that Minnesota local Holocaust survivor community's stories and lessons are preserved. Starting with her own mother, Mary, she is executive producer of the award winning documentary about her family story of survival from Athens, Greece. She produced a total of five documentaries, co-edited a book, and is published in an anthology called "White Teachers Diverse Classrooms."

She is also co-curator of the photographic exhibition "Transfer of Memory" which tells the stories of Minnesota Holocaust survivors. Tens of thousands of people have seen the exhibit and over two million media impressions have been generated. All of this and much more reflects Laura's vision of teaching the Holocaust.

Laura began her career as a St. Paul public school teacher where she taught for 15 years.

In this episode we discuss:

• The definition of anti-semitism.

• A brief history lesson on Israel and the geopolitical lens.

• Recognizing and understanding problematic rhetoric.

• What ideology are you supporting?

• The moral confusion around the world.

• How important it is to educate yourself.
