Are we failing our men? As a society, we are doing something profoundly wrong when it comes to our sons, our brothers, our partners. Let's dive into what is going on, how it impacts us all, and then let's discuss the 4 things we can all start today to help.

At the end of this episode, I did something fun. I took my mind-body type analysis and looked at one of the greatest men of all time (no hints other than he rocked the craziest man-do ever). We look at what we can learn from this amazing gentleman and how you are more like him than you know.

I thank you, thank you, thank you all for the AMAZING reviews and comments you leave on these episodes! I can't tell you how much it means to read each and every one of your submissions each week. Keep them coming! And THANK YOU!!!!!

"FINALLY!" is what your tastebuds, your digestive systems, and pretty much every other square inch of you is saying as the latest food trend is proving to not be a trend at all, but here to stay. 

In this episode, I sat down with Giorgo Mantas and Rob Bohay, the visionaries behind Verde Juice Bar in Winnipeg, Canada, as we talked, well, food! How the hottest wellness movement of opening a plant-based restaurant became their reality, why organic is a no-brainer for them, how partnering with local farmers is changing the landscape of the foodservice industry, and how their clientele is not exactly who you think they might be. And then - after discussing their mouth-watering menu offerings - we did some tumeric shots together! Yum is right! Bottoms up!

Marla I would like to extend a special THANK YOU to those of you that have taken the time to leave a comment here or reach out to me about what you thought of these episodes. I love all of your suggestions for future topics which I will be covering very soon.

Do you know why you cry? What role does it play in your health? It is fascinating that we are the only species that is capable of emotional tears, as opposed to the other two types of tears that we all have (hydration tears - just keep our eyes moist, and protective tears - like what happens when you cut into an onion, or when people get pepper-sprayed, or a big dust of wind blows in your eyes). In this episode we go into:

• Why do you cry
• What role it plays in your health
• What you can learn from your tears
• The relationship between our stress hormones and tears
• How to deal with children and their tears and what we can learn from them May you never look at crying quite the same!

What is one of the major addictions we all face that no one talks about? Sugar! What does a sugar addiction look like? How can I tell if I have one? What are the physical and mental effects of sugar addiction? And what can I do to deal with this addiction?

In this week's episode, I sit down with the one and only Christy Carreno (or Sugar-Free Christy), visionary, founder and Chief Sugar Buster at Project Sugar-Free. We talk about sweets, how she fell into this, how sugar addiction impacted her life and how she is now healing thousands of people around the globe kick their habit for good.

Hi There. In today's episode, I tell you the other half of the story. In episode 8 we discussed your body type and what each type means to you. Today, we look at your mind type: is it the same as your body type, or is iot totally different.

We discuss what most impacts your mind type, how to realize when you are starting to mentally unravel (we all do it, so it is totally cool), and how to bring yourself back to your center. We will also chat about how your mind and body type marry, how they work together and dance through life as one, while sometimes being at odds with each other. Let's take a listen together.

Oh, and if you ever have any comments about this or any other episode, feel free to reach out to me either on my website at www.marlabarr.com or on Instagram at @marla.barr.

Are there numbers that make you crumble? Make you want to run and hide? For a lot of us numbers like our age, our weight, even our income is important. We form emotional attachments to what those little digits mean. But should we?

In today's episode, you and I look at the power some numbers have over us, why it happens, what those numbers really are trying to tell us, and then, we take the power back. You will never look at your scale the same again. And then at the end, I have a special treat for you. I am not going to ruin the surprise, but you will be totally blissed out by the end of this 29 minutes episode. Promise!

Wishing you love and light as always - Marla

Now that we are in October, we see signs of Breast Cancer Awareness everywhere: Race for the Cure runs taking place every weekend, pink ribbons at every turn, and friends asking friends for donations to support breast cancer research. But you never see or hear people talking about the #1 reason women get breast cancer, and I am guessing it is because most industries don't want you to know about this.

In this week's episode, I sit down with the uber-talented, world-renowned Amelia Barnes, visionary and founder of PranaVida Style. We talk about breasts, breast health and what the garment industry doesn't want you to know. Then, with you, we solve the biggest problem together. Listen in on our most important episode to date, and PLEASE, Amelia and I encourage you to share this with every bosom buddy you know. Knowledge is power! And we don't want one more woman diagnosed with breast cancer, not one!

To learn more about Amelia and her amazingly inspirational work, visit her on Instagram at @ameliakyoga or @pranavidastyle. You can also visit her online at www.pranavidastyle.com.

On behalf of Amelia and I, we wish you all a wonderful, healthy, cancer-free October (and every month).

Love and light - Marla

When you start on a new journey, a new adventure, you tend to have a lot of great questions. Where do I go? How long with this take? Are we there yet? Same thing goes for us all when we are on our wellness journey.

In this episode I share some of my favorite (and funny) questions I get. Some heart-warming stories from our past wellness detoxers and we tackle my number 1 BIG question: What will this do for me now? Let's listen in.
