How Kabbalah Can Help Change Our Perspectives

Kabbalah, oftentimes misconceived as a religion or stemming from religion-- is actually far from that. In today's episode, I’m joined by Daniel Naor, a long time practitioner and teacher of Kabbalah, to talk about what it is at its core and it’s fundamental ideologies.

I’ve personally been studying Kabbalah for a few years, and I can say with a hundred percent certainty that it’s absolutely changed my life and how I view particular topics! It’s expanded my consciousness in ways I didn’t think it would, and I’d love for you to listen in and hear what Daniel has to say!

There’s definitely nuggets of wisdom to be learned from this episode today!

“What is Kabbalah?

It's a very ancient wisdom. It's not something new or invented. It's universal. And I think this is the biggest misconception that people believe that it belongs to a certain religion, maybe to Judaism. And while many of the capitalists were Jewish, and definitely has its heritage, by itself, Kabbalah precedes religion and existed way before religion came to existence. “

How Your Food Controls Your Metabolic Health with Verneri Jaamuru

There have been a plethora of fad diets that have come and gone these years, all with different promises of lasting effects that will help you slim down fast. Sure, some of them can work for you, but it doesn’t mean the root cause is addressed.

Today I’m joined by Verneri Jaamuru, the Co-Founder and Head of Product at Veri Stable, a continuous glucose monitor to better watch over your metabolic health and stabilise your glucose levels. What a lot of people misunderstand about glucose monitoring, is that it's not just for diabetics. Metabolic health is a spectrum where around 88% of Americans are affected and are metabolically ill.

In this episode of Well Balance 360, Verneri and I discuss glucose, the metabolic health spectrum, gut health, diabetes, intermittent fasting, and much more to help you build healthy habits; all towards living a better life!

Quote:

“Metabolic health is something that may not necessarily spark interest in a lot of people. But, I think food is a lot easier for people to understand that what they eat impacts how they feel and how much energy they have. So we’ve taken a strong stand with our product in terms of being the best and giving you insights about your food.”

Well Balanced 360 Ep 05: How to improve your health with Ashwagandha, Ghee, & Shilajit

Uma Naralkar 

Overview

“Adaptogens are like the perfect pair of earrings,” says nutritionist Uma Naralkar. In the same way that earrings complete a beautiful outfit, adaptogens compliment and boost a healthy lifestyle, to help your body stay in balance. 

Uma grew up in India with a passion for nutrition, but it wasn’t until she started working a corporate job in Hollywood that she realized the impact of nutrition on her life. When she got married and tried to conceive in her 20s, the late nights, alcohol, and lack of exercise from her job made it almost impossible. Uma started studying nutrition, got healthier, conceived her kids, and soon found a new calling -- helping other women balance their hormones and maintain a healthy lifestyle so they feel better (and, often, lose weight!). 

In this episode of the Well Balanced 360 podcast, Uma and host Dr. Shivani talk about three popular adaptogens to support healthy cortisol levels, balance your hormones, and improve energy and sleep: Ashwagandha, Ghee, & Shilajit. Tune in to learn more about how these ancient Indian supplements can support a healthier, happier lifestyle.  

Quotes

• “You have to remember that the foundation of your health still lies in nutrition, and what you’re consuming through whole food, as well as how active your lifestyle is, as well as your mindset and stress management. And once you are doing that, that’s where I like to throw adaptogens in, because they seal the deal. ”
