We’ve all heard the saying “you are what you eat” but what may be more true is that what you eat is a reflection of how you feel about yourself.
When we make healthier food choices, we're also making choices about the quality with which we want to live our lives.
A healthy lifestyle comes from knowledge through the proper resources but also through tuning in with the self. Adapting a healthy lifestyle means looking at all aspects of your life – your work, relationships and your diet.

In times of uncertainty, it's easy to worry about what's next.
Unlike its cousin anxiety, which arises out of fear of not knowing what will happen, worry is more creative.
Worry is the fear that something bad is going to happen and that by thinking ahead you can somehow protect yourself from future pain.
Worry often arises when there's an accumulation of the pathogenic factor known as dampness according to Chinese Medicine. Dampness can accumulate through a poor diet as well as through excessive thinking and overstimulation — all of which may (legitimately) be more familiar to you lately.
Dampness weakens the function of your Spleen and Stomach, the primary organs of digestion that need extra support during times of change and uncertainty. When these organs are compromised you can experience weight gain, poor digestion, overthinking, worry, and even obsession.
And while saying "don't worry" to someone who's worried is probably the worst thing you can do, there are some tools that can help balance this pattern.
In this Yoga Integration practice, you’ll learn tools and practices that’ll help you transform your worry & overwhelm to optimism & ease.
Besides my yoga practice, one of the things I’ve most enjoyed about being at home while we shelter in place is having more time to cook healthy meals.
Cooking is definitely one of my passions. What makes it even more exciting is integrating the delicious influence of my Persian heritage with Chinese Medicine insights that turn food into nourishing medicine for the body, mind and soul.
