Real Vegan Talk with the GeneusLife

On today’s episode, Jordan from Juices and Berries shares her story on how she dealt with extreme burn-out early in life which catapulted her into a journey of self-healing and self-discovery. At the tender age of 25, she was diagnosed with an auto-immune condition and found herself literally having to rebuild her health with very little help from allopathic medicine. We discuss how she came to find Ayurveda (or how Ayurveda found her) and what that did for her ever-evolving journey to optimal wellness. We also get into some of her favorite self-care practices and Ayurvedic hair care remedies for our sista’s out there listening! Jordan’s story is so inspiring because it’s proof that healing is not just about what we put into our bodies, but also about our daily routines, the kind of energies we surround ourselves with, and how we care for our mental and emotional health. Have you or someone you know experienced an illness that traditional medical doctors weren’t able to provide long-term support for? Write to us and let us know at info@thegeneuslife.com, and we’ll share it with our listeners (with your permission) on the next show.

In today's episode, Get takes us on his journey to spirituality. Growing up in Haiti, voodoo, and witchcraft were prevalent within his community. This was always intriguing to him and in some ways appealing too. As he got older, he began to notice that he had special gifts, enabling him to "see" things that his siblings and peers weren't able to see. Living in a household full of devoted Christians made it hard for him to explore his gifts and understand how to use them for good. It wasn't until the New Year's Eve of 2008 when he met a really wise man that things started to propel for him in his spiritual journey. Can you relate to Get's story at all?

Ayurveda is the science of life (Ayur=life Veda=science or knowledge). It's a 5,000-year-old ancient healing system that originated in the Vedic culture of India. Don't let that turn you off though. Ayurveda is not just for Indians or people of Asian descent. It's a wise system of beliefs that encourages mind, body, and spirit vitality through better eating choices, cultivating a spiritual practice, and living out our life's purpose.  Today, Trudy discusses how Ayurveda Changed her life, how she discovered this timeless system, resources she used to help expand her knowledge, and the 6 stages of dis-ease.

Cereal is one of the most common processed foods in the United States.

As we approach the cooler months, the air is becoming crisper, our skin is starting to get dry, and our thoughts may even scatter. If you are a gardener, you’ll notice the earth begin to crack due to dryness. These are all qualities of the vata dosha in our environment and within us. As Mother Nature goes through her shifts, so do we. That’s why it’s integral that we clear out the old and create space for the new. When I say old I’m talking about toxic buildup in the colon, mucus in the lining of the GI tract and even undigested emotions due to unresolved traumas. In today’s video I discuss why we should seasonal cleanse and how will this specific soup cleanse help you. If you haven’t already, read the caption on our previous post @thegeneuslife to learn more about how to prep. DM me to let me know you’d like to join and you’ll receive free information via email throughout this week in preparation for next weeks soup cleanse. I can’t wait to heal with you
