Glass Half Healthy Dr. Jonar de Guzman, M.D.

To kick off this brand new season, we discuss grief with AmarAtma Khalsa, a Grief Specialist and Coach.  With a dual Master's Degree in Chinese Medicine and Ministry as well as experience as a Board Certified Chaplain at both adult and children's hospitals, AmarAtma integrates a variety of practices including somatic exercises, breathing techniques, mindfulness, and self-love.  This unique approach helps alleviate the heaviness, overwhelm, and powerlessness that often comes with grief, which ultimately, can help any person transform their life after loss.  In this episode, we first tackle the definition of grief. We explore why grief is not talked about nearly enough with one another (and why we should).  Amaratma then helps to distinguish between healthy versus unhealthy ways of grieving. We also discuss the importance of grief work for better health and practical approaches for those in the active grieving process.  And we have a special offer this season with short guided meditations at the end of the episodes so you can practice on your own and revisit them at any time.  To anyone who has experienced loss, big or small, and suffered from grief, I dedicate this episode, from my heart to yours. I truly hope that this discussion helps you along your journey of healing.

Why does something bad have to happen to our health before we finally feel motivated to do something about it?  As a society, we react to health problems rather than prevent them.  From grade school to college, no one is teaching us how to be healthy and stay that way.  So, I did research to create my own plan.  Through the process, my body returned to its natural state of being because I redefined health for myself.  This begs the question - how do you define health?  I am Dr. Jonar and this is my podcast, the Glass Half Healthy!  As a trained physician and CEO of 4 Truth Health Coaching, I will help redefine health and wellbeing through conversations with thought provoking guests. So, join me on this journey as we walk together on the path of healthier living.

To continue on last episode’s theme of plant-based meal prep, we’re happy to have Stacey Heiny—a certified Holistic Nutritionist, Lifestyle Wellness Mentor and Founder of the Herban Farmacy—on the podcast to help you turn the concept of plant-based eating into practice! In this episode, Stacey talks about her journey of healthy living that stems from her upbringing in the Midwest, understanding the mind-body connection, and awareness of animal agriculture’s harsh realities. As a nutritionist, Stacey offers her take on why a plant-predominant diet remains the cornerstone for optimizing health and also addresses the common obstacles to healthier eating. She then identifies the keys to a successful transition from the Standard American Diet filled with processed foods and animal products towards whole food plant-based nutrition. And to dig deeper, Stacey specifically discusses how working with your mindset and setting up a healthier environment for yourself will help you to achieve your nutrition goals. I hope our talk inspires you to transform those thoughts of plant-based eating into real sustainable action!

In honor of my 4-year anniversary of eating plant-based, I wanted to offer you a practical way to prepare healthy, inexpensive, and tasty plant based meals. So I could not think of anyone better than Toni Okamoto, the founder of Plant-Based on a Budget, author of the Plant-Based on a Budget Cookbook, co-author of The Friendly Vegan Cookbook, and the co-host of The Plant-Powered People Podcast. In this episode, we discuss her unique upbringing that influenced her approach to food. Toni then successfully turned a passion project into her current profession teaching others how to break their meat habit without breaking the bank. With Plant-Based on a Budget, Toni offers affordable time efficient plant-based meal planning accessible to all. We also discuss her perspective on the common misconceptions and main benefits of plant-based eating, the importance of meal planning as a way to mitigate poor eating choices and so much more. I hope our discussion helps inspire you to make healthy, affordable, and tasty plant based meals for you and your loved ones to enjoy!
