Our focus is on the critical journey individuals must undertake to reconnect with their inner wisdom, highlighting the challenge many face when seeking external validation or guidance instead of looking within. As we explore this theme, we emphasize the importance of embracing one's own expertise in navigating personal needs and feelings. Dr. Letterman introduces the concept of the nine pillars, a framework designed to help individuals realign with their internal landscape. By identifying and nurturing these pillars—self-awareness, sleep, nutrition, activity, play, connection to family and friends, work and purpose, spirituality, and the natural world—we can cultivate a holistic sense of well-being. The discussion elaborates on how attending to these areas fosters resilience and joy, particularly when faced with life's inevitable challenges. #anxiety #selfcare #mentalhealth #wellness #mindfulness #emotionalregulation #stressmanagement #innerpeace #personalgrowth #healing #coaching #therapy #psychology #neuroscience #communication #relationships #parenting #children #education #health #lifestyle #happiness #joy #fulfillment #purpose #meaning #spirituality #nature #connection #community #support #resilience #hope #inspiration #motivation #transformation #growthmindset #selfcompassion #selfacceptance #bodypositivity #mindfulliving #holistichealth #integrativehealth #lifestylemedicine #functionalmedicine #nutrition #exercise #sleep #play #family #friends #worklifebalance #boundaries #compassion #empathy #nonviolentcommunication #mbsr #act #dbt #cbt #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

In the world of health and wellness, many terms are tossed around, often becoming buzzwords. But what do they really mean? One such term is "whole-person health." What is it, and why is it important? In a recent episode of the Health Science Podcast, hosted by Dr. Frank Sabatino and sponsored by the National Health Association, Dr. Matthew Lederman, a board-certified internal medicine specialist and bestselling author, delves into the concept of whole-person health and its significance. The Journey to Holistic Health Dr. Lederman began his career in traditional internal medicine but quickly recognized the limitations of focusing solely on symptoms rather than the entire person. This realization led him to explore a more holistic approach to healthcare, integrating lifestyle and nutritional strategies alongside conventional treatments. Understanding Whole-Person Health Whole-person health, as explained by Dr. Lederman, is an approach that considers all aspects of a person's well-being, including physical, emotional, mental, social, and even spiritual health. Instead of treating isolated symptoms or conditions, this method looks at how different aspects of a person's life influence their overall health. By addressing the root causes of illness and promoting a balanced lifestyle, whole-person health aims to achieve optimal well-being. Why Whole-Person Health Matters The importance of whole-person health lies in its comprehensive approach. Traditional medicine often focuses on specific symptoms or diseases, sometimes neglecting the interconnectedness of various aspects of health. Whole-person health acknowledges that factors such as diet, exercise, stress levels, relationships, and emotional well-being are all interrelated. By addressing these areas together, individuals can experience more profound and lasting health improvements. Dr. Lederman's Insights Dr. Lederman emphasized the role of nutrition in whole-person health, advocating for a plant-based diet rich in whole foods. According to Dr. Lederman, the right nutrition can significantly impact physical health, mental clarity, and emotional stability. He also highlighted the importance of stress management techniques such as mindfulness and meditation, which can enhance emotional and mental well-being. www.HealthScience.org/podcast/093-Dr-Matthew-Lederman

Feeling connected to others and the natural world is a crucial component of wellness. However, forming and nurturing fulfilling relationships can only happen when you are connected to your authentic self. So how do we tune in to the frequency of our own needs? Join Matthew Lederman, MD, Alona Pulde, MD, and Christie Uipi, LCSW, on the Like Mind, Like Body podcast to explore how self-awareness and intentional communication can open the door for deeper interpersonal relationships and improved physical health.

We all are well aware of the importance of managing stress when it comes to overall health and weight loss.  Less stress reduces cortisol levels as well as decreasing the likelihood of stress-induced cravings and overeating.  And one of the most effective tools to combat stress is controlled breathing. In this episode we introduce a device that is designed to help individuals, particularly children, achieve calmness through a combination of slow breathing, visual focus, and auditory regulation using white noise. The device is intended to teach users how to achieve states of relaxation and composure, which are essential for managing stress and anxiety effectively. To dive into this device, we welcomed back Dr. Matthew Lederman to the show.  Dr. Lederman  co-founded WeHeal with his wife Dr. Alona Pulde with the intent to focus on a holistic approach to health that integrates nutrition, lifestyle, and emotional well-being. The WeBe Kalm device fits into this philosophy by providing a practical method for emotional self-regulation. It has been praised for its effectiveness in helping children and adults manage their emotions and improve their overall well-being by fostering mindfulness and calmness in stressful situations​.      

Matthew Lederman, MD, was highlighted in the documentary, Forks Over Knives! It was the first time I confirmed that if we give the body what it needs, the body can heal naturally. Dr. Lederman has helped many of his patients reverse disease by combining Western, Chinese, and Lifestyle Medicine. When he added multiple therapies that […]

Matthew joins me for another episode to share the work he has been doing around nervous system regulation. He created a device called webe kälm to help people move from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system. This allows us to move from a constant reactionary state to one where we are taking calculated actions towards our goals and dreams.While the sympathetic nervous system has an important place, saving us from immediate danger, we tend to spend far too much time in that state. Learning how to move to the parasympathetic nervous system is vital because it is where we rest & digest, appropriately process emotional nutrients, and take control over what we can control.To learn more about webe kälm, go to www.webekalm.comDr. Matthew Lederman has co-authored six books with his wife Dr. Alona Pulde, including The New York Times Bestseller Forks Over Knives Plan, Forks Over Knives Family, and Keep It Simple, Keep It Whole. They co-authored The Whole Foods Diet and The Whole Foods Cookbook with John Mackey, co-founder and CEO of Whole Foods Market. Most recently they co-authored, “Wellness to Wonderful,” interweaving medical science, psychology, spirituality, and life wisdom to help people achieve lasting health, vibrancy, peace, and joy. To hear Matthew's previous appearance on the show, check out episode 168 www.confidence-through-health.simplecast.com/episodes/168 Find out more about the All In Running Club at www.allinhealthandwellness.com/all-in-running-clubVisit ConfidenceThroughHealth.com to find discounts to some of our favorite products.Follow me via All In Health and Wellness on Facebook or Instagram.Find my books on Amazon: No More Sugar Coating: Finding Your Happiness in a Crowded World and Confidence Through Health: Live the Healthy Lifestyle God DesignedProduction credit: Social Media Cowboys

Show Notes Page: https://wellnessparadoxpod.com/episode114Our Guest: Dr. Matthew LedermanDr. Lederman began his professional medical career studying conventional Western medicine to become a board-certified Internal Medicine physician. He quickly realized more skills and tools were needed if he was going to help people achieve his definition of optimum health: to live in a state of, “Life Is Wonderful.” He began his personal and professional expansion starting with additional training in nutrition and lifestyle medicine, eventually participating in the documentary Forks Over Knives as well as co-authoring 6 books, including a NY Times Bestseller. Most recently he co-authored, “Wellness to Wonderful,” interweaving medical science, psychology, spirituality, and life wisdom to help people achieve lasting health, vibrancy, peace, and joy. He further expanded his arsenal of care by completing CNVC Trainer Certification as he found Nonviolent Communication to be the foundation on which mind-body and interpersonal healing lies. He is particularly passionate about bringing NVC into this world to support patients, parents, children, and work teams using technology and other creative outlets. In addition, he strongly believes that effective care must be trauma-informed, and supports that intention through his continued work with the Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Awareness Principles. After 10 years in the corporate world serving as the Whole Foods Market Vice President of Medical Affairs helping launch their national comprehensive medical & wellness centers and integrated hospital and insurance network, Dr. Lederman moved on to build his newest ventures, WeHeal and webe kälm, with his work and life partner of 18 years.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Matthew Lederman, a physician and wellness expert that you might know from Forks Over Knives. His most recent book, Wellness to Wonderful (together with partner, Alona Pulde) goes into greater depth to explain how connection is has a profound impact on mental and physical wellness. That's our topic today: the intersection of connection + wellness.

Drs. Matthew Lederman and Alona Pulde pioneered the medical program that was used in the film, Forks Over Knives, and after the popularity of that groundbreaking film, they went on to co-author multiple books including The Forks Over Knives Plan, The Forks Over Knives Cookbook, Forks Over Knives Family and the Whole Foods Diet with former Whole Foods CEO, John Mackey.  Today, we discuss their latest book Wellness to Wonderful: 9 PILLARS FOR LIVING HEALTHIER, LONGER, AND WITH GREATER JOY. Through a comprehensive and beautiful combination of Eastern, Western, and lifestyle medicine practices, Matt and Alona work with their patients to help them wake up every day thinking, “My life is wonderful.”   They do this through private sessions, support groups, and courses on nutrition, nonviolent verbal communication (or NVC), spirituality, weight loss, and more. This isn't your average 10-minute doctor's appointment. Wellness to Wonderful is a complete life paradigm shift for you and your family.   Their book's nine fundamental pillars of health include: self, nutrition, activity, play, sleep, family & friends, work, spirituality, and the natural world, but we focus much of our conversation around non-violent communication and family connection because we at PLANTSTRONG truly believe that communication and connection is KEY to a wonderful life.    Episode Resources Watch the Full Episode on YouTube Order Wellness to Wonderful WeHeal.Health - Connect with Drs.
