          • Food is Medicine with Fiona Maria

            Our special guest in this episode is Fiona Maria, a certified functional nutritional counselor and competitive cyclist, among many other degrees and areas of expertise. She talks about reaching an all-time low after surviving a TBI and how the health care system left her feeling more confused. She now works to provide as much information to as many people as possible. She gives accessible dietary and lifestyle changes to help you optimize your health and my favorite part about her approach is that you do NOT need to be super restrictive or rigid to take care of your health.

            We covered:

            • what exactly is "functional nutrition" and how it differs from the standardized medical system 
            • her personal experience with a traumatic brain injury 
            • the bi-directional pathway between the brain and the gut 
            • why getting out of fight or flight is CRUCIAL
            • the 80/20 rule with food aka not being completely restrictive
            • joy as a nutrient

            • Click here for a PDF of her article, "Stocking Your Pantry for Peak Performance on a Budget". It's a great resource for anyone that is interested in optimizing on a budget :)

                • What Happens After You Die? with Butterfly Haus

                  I'm joined by Butterfly Haus, a Brooklyn-based musician and artist.. but so much more than that. He's suffering from terminal cancer and he feels that his diagnosis and the experience of "time running out" has entirely changed his perspective on life. We talked about some heavier subjects such as trauma, death and dying, and the state of the world, from what may be different perspectives for you. Our intention is to share that there may be more empowering frameworks for you to live from. Have a listen for yourself.

                  We debated:

                  • time that's ticking away
                  • do you engage with darkness or bypass with positivity?
                  • what happens after you die
                  • the state of the world and where people who do "bad" things come from
                  • would having a terminal illness change your worldview?
                  • lessons and realizations from trauma
                  • why "the scariest human emotion is hopelessness"
