Through the lens of yoga, neuroscience, and lived experience, she offers wisdom on surviving loss—not just the loss of loved ones, but the loss of self as we once knew it.If you've ever questioned how the tools of yoga serve us not just in theory, but in the darkest moments of real life, this conversation is for you.Topics We Explore:The origin and impact of the CLARIFY Guidelines for yoga researchWhat makes yoga research replicable, credible, and useful for cliniciansDr. Moonaz's academic leadership in yoga therapy at MUIH and SCUHSThe backstory of Yoga for Arthritis and its public health missionLiving through a year of compounded loss: traumatic brain injury, caregiving, and griefNavigating healthcare systems and trauma while healingWriting a memoir as a healing process and reflective practiceThe psychological and somatic experience of losing identity through injuryYoga therapy for grief, loss, and identity reconstructionSteffany's personal tapas (discipline) and her decision to keep showing upReclaiming wholeness post-trauma: a new “A-prime” version of selfFeatured Book:Driving Home: Cancer, Concussion, Mom and Me Now available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats.  Audiobook coming soon—narrated by Dr. Steffany Moonaz herselfConnect with Steffany Moonaz:Website: https://arthritis.yoga Explore professional trainings in Yoga for Arthritis, mentoring opportunities, research publications, and continuing education courses.

    Step into the aromatic world of Indian chai with Mira Manek, author of The Book of Chai and founder of Chai by Mira. In this episode, we trace the surprising history of how tea became India's most beloved beverage - through colonial trade routes, opium, and clever British marketing.Mira shares chai-making secrets passed down through generations: from the Ayurvedic ritual of boiling milk three times, to unlocking spice potency with proper preparation (spoiler: whole ginger slices won't cut it). You'll learn why different Indian regions brew chai in unique ways, and how spices like cardamom and saffron offer profound medicinal benefits.This is more than a conversation about tea, it's a journey through heritage, healing, and the unseen wisdom in everyday rituals. Whether you're a lifelong chai lover or simply curious about the deeper stories steeped in your cup, this episode will enrich your connection to this timeless tradition.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:☕️ How British marketing and the opium trade shaped Indian chai culture☕️ Family chai rituals and spice secrets passed down through generations☕️ The Ayurvedic approach to chai☕️ Medicinal benefits of chai spices like cardamom, ginger, clove, and saffron☕️ Regional chai variations across India and the logic behind them (yes, even salty Kashmiri chai)☕️ How to make chai a deeper, more mindful ritual in your dayABOUT OUR GUEST: Mira ManekMira Manek is an author, wellness coach and expert, and has her own chai brand. Her third book, The Book of Chai, follows on from the success of her first two books, bestselling cookbook Saffron Soul and a book on Ayurveda and happiness called Prajna. Mira was born and raised in London, where she grew up in a large joint family with her grandparents, strongly rooted in their Indian heritage. She grew up speaking Gujarati, learned Sanskrit at school and has travelled extensively in India, inspiring her passion for Indian philosophy and spirituality, chai and chaiwalas, Indian food and spices, and especially Ayurveda.RESOURCES:Mira Manek's Website: miramanek.comChai by Mira (chai blends & products): chaibymira.comBooks by Mira Manek:The Book of ChaiSaffron SoulPrajna: Ayurvedic Rituals for HappinessMira Manek's Instagram: @miramanekVital Veda Podcast Episode: "The Ancient and Stimulating Spice Industry" with Ian 'Herbie' HemphillSupport the show

    Healing from the Need to Heal: Ayurveda, Orthorexia & Yoga with Konstanze Weiser

    What happens when healing becomes another form of harm? When the search for purity, wellness, and relief becomes a maze of restriction, shame, and exhaustion? In this quietly radical conversation, Konstanze Weiser joins us to speak not as an expert, but as someone who lived it from childhood illness to orthorexia, Panchakarma to spiritual burnout. We explore the parts of wellness culture we don't often talk about: the obsession with food, the spiritualization of suffering, the silent shame around digestion and embodiment. Konstanze shares what it took to finally stop outsourcing authority, soften her grip, and listen to her own body. What emerged wasn't a protocol, but a practice. Not control, but connection. This is not a story of being healed. It's a story of no longer needing to be. Subjects Explored Orthorexia and the glorification of “clean” eating When Ayurveda becomes another system to get right Panchakarma, shame, and the desire to purge pain Digestive distress, embodiment, and feminine silence Yoga practice as participation, not perfection Letting go of healing as a project Food, feeling, and the return to simplicity Key Phrases or Quotes “It wasn't the food. It was the shame.” “I believed my body couldn't heal unless I followed all the rules.” “At some point, I didn't even have the capacity for shame anymore.” “I don't use food to compensate as much anymore—because I don't need to.” “Healing isn't about fixing. It's about not betraying yourself.” “My practice is non-negotiable. But it's not because I'm trying to improve. It's because it brings me back.” Key Takeaways Orthorexia is often hidden in wellness culture – When food becomes a moral issue, restriction masquerades as discipline. Systems are not saviors – Ayurveda, yoga, or detox can become prisons when driven by fear or perfectionism. Digestion and shame are deeply linked – It wasn't the food causing distress. It was the silence, the hiding, the internalized shame. Embodiment is not a theory – Real practice means listening to the body, not overriding it with ideals. Simplicity is a form of intelligence – Healing came not from doing more, but from letting go. The body already knows – The role of practice is to help us trust it again.

    Wellness expert and author Heather Grzych interviews Jill Pepper, CEO of Ozer Health, for a thought-provoking conversation about how the U.S. health insurance system really works—from the inside out. Together, they explore why so many Americans feel frustrated or failed by Western medicine, the critical gaps in the system, and why Eastern and natural medicines like Ayurveda often sit on the outskirts of mainstream care. They dive into what makes someone trust a healthcare provider, why trying holistic modalities can feel strange at first, and how to increase access to and adoption of natural healing approaches. It's a powerful dialogue between two women who have navigated both conventional and alternative medicine industries—and are passionate about transforming how we care for our bodies and minds. Jill Pepper, CEO at Ozer Health, with over 18 years in healthcare and employer wellness solutions, has extensive experience in western group insurance for large employer groups, wellness program sales, retention, and strategic distribution. Previously serving in leadership roles, she managed key relationships with employer groups, focusing on traditional western insurance, wellness programs' strategy and engagement and customer relationship management. For the past 15 months, Jill has directed her expertise toward launching The Ozer Health app, a digital platform aimed at delivering an accessible, holistic health solution that marries western and eastern practices.

    Click here to send me a quick message :) We're all navigating so much right now. Collectively, relationally, personally.This week's episode explores three different frames for understanding and tending your nervous system when it's stretched, strained, burnt out or plain dysregulated.In addition to the collective unrest so many of us are feeling, this week I learned about the loss of John Gallagher (founder of Learning Herbs).What has struck me most about the loss (aside from honoring his immense legacy in modern herbalism) was that he was struggling. With insomnia, anxiety, and depression.And that the current political climate, including the potential for immense ecological loss, was part of what may have tipped his mental health struggles over the edge. It's just so big, all of it. And so many of us are feeling it.And whatever we're struggling with - collectively, relationally, personally - we're all navigating something right now. I want to acknowledge that, rather than gloss over it, and offer some resources and tools that may perhaps be useful for you in these tumultuous times. We all have to find our way, and we don't have to do it alone. Which reminds me of Alexandra Blakely's song:"you do not carry this all aloneno you do not carry this all alonethis is way too big for youto carry this on your ownso, you do not carry this all alone"It's not a song, or an herb, or a practice that will heal us. It's a collective practice that is ongoing.But if you're interested in some powerful ways to tend your nervous system in these times, listen to the wisdom from Efan Hsieh, Kristen Timchak and myself in this week's medley episode for some inspiration.** dedicating this episode to the memory of John Gallagher **Resources:Grab the free guide: Track your cycle with FAM (and symptom tracking)Today's shownotes: 3 paths to nervous system tending in tumultuous timesEpisode 41: How nature connection can calm burnout w Efan HsiehEpisode 50: Adaptogens + hormonal healthEpisode 97: Nourish your nervous system with Ayurveda w Kristen TimchakIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

    In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive deep into the power of breath with Dr. Roberta Garceau—a dentist, yoga and Ayurveda practitioner, and sleep medicine expert. Drawing from her book Bliss, Not Burnout, Dr. Garceau explains how conscious breathing is more than just a wellness trend—it's a transformative tool for emotional regulation, energy alignment, and mental clarity. She shares real-life examples, practical breath work techniques, and insights on how even in the chaos of healthcare or hustle culture, a single mindful breath can create radical calm. Whether you're a high-performer or just feeling overwhelmed, this episode is your reminder to pause, breathe, and begin healing from within. About the Guest:Dr. Roberta Garceau blends her clinical background in dentistry and sleep medicine with Eastern healing practices to offer an integrative approach to wellness. She's the author of Bliss, Not Burnout, a practical guide for healthcare professionals and anyone seeking balance in a fast-paced world. Through her platform Elemental Wellness, Dr. Garceau teaches how air, breath, and awareness can restore harmony in both body and mind. Key Takeaways: Conscious breathing can regulate both emotional and physical health in real time. Exhalation-first techniques help calm anxiety and reduce tension. Breath is a bridge between burnout and balance, especially in caregiving or high-stress environments. Small daily moments—driving, walking, even bathroom breaks—are perfect for integrating mindful breath. Aligning breath with the elements (air, earth, fire) helps tailor energy regulation to your body's needs.
