Ep. 271 The Joy of Well-Being: Building a Health-Conscious Life


Listen Later

Today, I am honored to connect with Jason Wachob, the co-author of The Joy of Wellbeing! 

Jason is the Co-CEO of mindbodygreen, the leading independent media brand dedicated to wellbeing, and the host of the mindbodygreen Podcast, on which I recently had the honor of being a guest.

In this episode, Jason shares his and his wife, Colleen’s backstory, and their pain-to-purpose mission, and we dive into the role of longevity, epigenetics, joy span, and the impact of the lack of connection and loneliness during the pandemic. We discuss social media algorithms, nutrition concerns over tribalism, bio-individuality, the processed food industry, exercise, and hormesis. We also talk about forever chemicals and toxins and how they impact our health.

I loved reading Jason and Colleen’s new book, The Joy of Wellbeing, and I sincerely hope you enjoy listening to my conversation with Jason!

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How Jason and Colleen’s health issues motivated them to create mindbodygreen.
  • How Colleen re-assessed what was important in her life, and where she wanted to be, after being diagnosed with pulmonary embolism.
  • The importance of nutrition and sleep.
  • The power of epigenetics.
  • How the science of longevity has advanced tremendously.
  • How crisis tends to amplify what is already wrong in the world. 
  • The importance of connection. 
  • The importance of incorporating exercise and movement into your day.
  • The role of sarcopenia. 
  • The benefits of intermittent fasting and hormetic stressors.
  • The impact of forever chemicals in the world.
  • Why is it essential to be thoughtful about where you spend your money?
