Loving Wellness Ava Nouri, RD

In this week’s solo episode of Loving Wellness, I'm talking all about the power of discipline. In the episode, I dive deep into the importance of discipline as an essential tool for better health and personal development. I share my tips on taking a spiritual approach to discipline and how to actually become more disciplined in your daily life with freedom, not rigidity. I also touch on the various key aspects of discipline, including self control, real dopamine, agreements, priorities, and mindset. As always, thank you for listening!

Welcome back to the third and final episode of my three-part Wellness Foundations mini series here on the Loving Wellness podcast! In this series, we're going back to the basics and diving deep into what I believe to be the foundations of true wellness in mind, body, and spirit.



In today's episode (which is a continuation of ⁠Part 2⁠), to round this series out, I am delving into the second half of the foundational wellness practices that I believe are integral to true healing and sustainable health. As I did in the previous episode, I'm sharing evidence from the literature as well as my own experiences (both personally and professionally with clients) for each foundation I talk about in the episode:

1- Community, social connection, & nurturing healthy relationships

2- Joyful movement / exercise

3- Optimal hydration & mineral replenishment

4- Nervous system regulation

5- Minimizing toxic exposures & supporting the body's natural drainage and detoxification pathways

6- Laughter

7- Spiritual wellness: meditation, mindfulness, intention, & faith



I also share lots of tips on how to implement each foundation into daily life if it isn't already a part of yours. As always, thank you for listening!



Here are the links to listen to Part 1 of the series on ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ or ⁠Spotify⁠.

In this week’s episode of Loving Wellness, I am joined by Hannah Minardi and Austin Wiberg, the co-founders of Standard Self Care- the leading clean, cosmeceutical skincare line designed to help you streamline and upgrade your daily ritual with clean, bioactive products that actually work. 



At the age of 19 - and as a college dropout - Hannah founded With Seven, a socially conscious consulting firm uniting companies like Nike, Target, Revolve, and Hot Pilates with the social causes that matter most to today’s generation of conscious consumers. She drew on this extensive consulting experience when she partnered with her longtime friend and business partner, Austin Wiberg, who developed his entrepreneurial acumen at top lifestyle eCommerce brands such as Suja Juice and Talentless. Integrating their expertise across industries and looking to optimize every facet of their daily routine, Hannah and Austin joined forces to formulate Standard Self Care, a streamlined personal care line that focuses on product efficacy & ingredient transparency above all else. 



There’s no shortage of ‘clean’ beauty brands infiltrating your Explore Page, but if your products don’t create lasting results in your skin, you’ll return to your tried-and-true routine. That’s why Hannah and Austin created Standard Self Care: a concentrated line of 3 cosmeceutical products that were designed with the highest standards to optimize your self-care practice and upgrade your quality of life. 



In the episode, we cover: 


Hannah and Austin’s wellness journeys 
Hannah’s life-altering experience with stress-induced autoimmunity & how this fueled her passion for better-for-you products
The importance of looking at more than just diet & exercise for true wellness
Why being “stricter” with your wellness practices isn’t always better
The many entrepreneurial experiences that have helped Hannah and Austin start their own companies
The pros and cons of going to college (& why Hannah dropped out of school to start her career early)
What are cosmeceuticals & why should we start using them?
Why + how Hannah and Austin started Standard Self Care 
Simplifying your skincare routine
The importance of connections in entrepreneurship & life in general
How Hannah and Austin started out as best friends in college, launched multiple businesses together and ended up as a couple in the process!

...and so much more!

Welcome back to Part 2 of my three-part Wellness Foundations mini series here on the Loving Wellness podcast! In this series, we're going back to the basics and delving into what I believe to be the foundations of true wellness in mind, body, and spirit.



Today, I'm going over the first half of the foundational wellness practices that make a huge difference in our lives. In the episode, I first explain the main root causes of dis-ease that these practices are addressing. I then dive deep into five of the simple yet profound wellness foundations that can transform your health from the inside out, sharing evidence from the literature as well as my own experiences (both personally and professionally with clients) for each one:

1- Getting enough high-quality sleep

2- Eating mostly whole foods & minimal processed foods (and eating enough food in general)

3- Getting sufficient bioavailable protein in your diet

4- Optimizing circadian health (& how to do this)

5- Spending time in nature



I also share tips on how to implement each foundation into daily life if it isn't already a part of yours. Make sure to stay tuned for Part 3, where I'll be diving deep into the rest of the wellness foundations. And as always, thank you for listening!
