I AM Well, MD Santi Tanikella, MD

We know that we really ought to avoid things like alcohol, tobacco, and illicit substances....
But what about the things that are not so obvious? Toxic habits and ideas can limit our lives, and the crazy thing is we don't always realize it... which means that we don't empower ourselves to take control and avoid those things that aren't serving us. 

Tune in to learn more about where toxic influences can exist, and how to free ourselves from them.

Remember that quote, "I'll sleep when I'm dead"? 
Many people take sleep for granted. The fact is, lots of important things happen when our bodies are sleeping. AND sleep is different from rest. 
Poor quality sleep and chronic sleep deprivation can  take a toll on your body, mind, and emotional health. Tune in to learn more about the importance of sleep, and how we can improve the quality of our sleep.  An Irish proverb puts it best:  “A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.”

In this podcast episode, we are going to talk about nutrition! This is a topic that is discussed in my pediatric practice multiple times a day, and I find that there is a lot of confusion about it. Why wouldn't there be? We are constantly bombarded with information regarding the latest diet and nutrition fads. 

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine recommends a whole foods plant based diet, which is essentially a vegan diet (without the non-nutritive vegan foods that are highly processed, like doritos, fritos, chips!).  There's a good bit of research out there regarding this, and more can be found on their website at https://lifestylemedicine.org/

In this conversation, for the sake of simplicity, I wanted to provide some broad recommendations for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike, so that we can all move towards a healthier life and reduce our risk for common chronic diseases, like diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. We deserve a life where we can be active with our kids and grandkids, and empower them to be healthy as well.

The "Wellness" umbrella covers lots of things - physical wellness, mental/emotional wellness, spiritual wellness... but we don't often talk about financial wellness. Financial security in this day in age is vital so that we have the capacity to step back from our work if and when we need to. Some of us avoid learning about finances because it seems complicated and there's a sense of hopelessness.  If you're one of these people, this podcast is for you.
