The Pamela Jon Thomas Podcast

People often talk about how they don't have time to exercise, have a healthy diet or do other things that improve quality of life because they are too busy. They don't realize that you don't need to have a lot of time to practice self-care. You can do things in small doses. For example, you can make sure you get enough sleep every night instead of staying up all night to do work. You can eat a healthy meal every day instead of eating a lot of junk food. It's not about doing huge things ...

True health & wellness starts with a little bit of exercise and yes, what we choose to put on our plate! That’s right, food. So, how do we know what's ok for us to eat today and what's not? Is there a worry? While quick fix diets and intensive workouts leave us burnt out and hopeless sometimes, can these classic American weight-loss & lifestyle techniques truly be sustainable in the long run? For example, diets with companies that sell their own food. Can you eat their food your ...

Is the food industry as honest and genuine as it seems? Are giant food corporations truly looking out for the consumers own good, or perhaps just money and profits? In this billion-dollar, lucrative (yet secretive) industry, it's clearly all about the money. But how and why are they making so much, and are we as a society paying the real price? Well to begin, cheap, tasty, addicting food is just the start. Addicting food made by scientists. Yes, that's right. Not a farmer..... but a scie...

Stress. Something we all have and yet of course don't want! But what exactly is stress and could it ever be good? As we know it, the inventible ups & downs and dreadful unpredictability of life seems daunting. It's no secret life will always have its fair share of stressors, and "curve balls", so, how do we cope with it? More importantly, is it affecting our diet? In this episode we dig deep into the various types of stress and how they may be impacting you, your diet, and ultimately your...

Self-care. It's something that.... well, we're all guilty of. Guilty of not giving ourselves enough of! Not enough of the self-care we not only deserve, but more importantly need. When thinking about the word "health", it's easy to just think about diet, exercise, and our physical well-being; however, unfortunately overlooking one's mental health & well-being just isn't on the radar typically. It's no secret our society undervalues self-care, but that doesn't mean you have too as we...

We all have different relationships with food. But, if there’s one common denominator, it’s that we all consider it our body’s fuel source. While that isn’t wrong, there’s definitely more to food than just that.In this episode, I’ll go through the true definition of food, the two types of food, and how we need to be more intentional in how we view food to make better decisions for our physical and mental well being.To learn more, visit the complete show notes at pamelajonthomas.com/5.Connect ...

When we think about our health, we often consider our weight, our eating habits, our medications, our doctor appointments, but we rarely consider relationships and the fact that they do affect our overall health as well. In today’s episode, we converse with Purpose Life Coach, Educator, Minister, Mentor, and Motivational Speaker Tarneisha Mukoko about how marriage and divorce impact health. She shares her personal story of a failed marriage that took a toll on her mental, emotional, spiritual...

Do you ever wonder if healthcare goes beyond routine doctor’s visits, lab work, and medications? Have you ever had the gut feeling that maybe there was an alternative to this process? Why yes, there certainly is! And in today’s episode, we explore the wave that’s shifting the healthcare game called Holistic Health. We consider its true value and how it can effectively go hand in hand with the traditional medicine model to improve not only your health, but your overall quality of life as well....

Today’s episode discusses how important it is to ditch the faulty idea that your health and wellness is ultimately your healthcare provider’s responsibility, and instead empower you to embrace the realization that your health and wellness begins with you learning to be in tune with your own body, being intentional about discovering what it needs and how to keep it functioning at its most optimal level. There is no doubt in my mind that the power of edifying yourself concerning your health goe...

Today’s episode introduces the concept of holistic health and wellness, challenging the busy professional to shift their mindset from total reliance upon the traditional medicine model we’ve all come to know and hate, and instead improve upon their health by unlocking the true power of total health and wellness: mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
