This was an especially fun podcast for me. First, it was on SoulShift, a unique show that “offers a pause for reflection, self-connection, and meaningful change with weekly conversations exploring how lasting transformation happens at the intersection of neuroscience and soul work, functional nutrition and self-love, ancient traditions and modern research.”
Secondly, because of their different backgrounds, the hosts brought such interesting insights to the conversation. Mindy Gorman-Plutzer has drawn on her lived experience with food and body challenges to create a compassionate space for helping women with issues around their relationships with food. Meanwhile, Christine Morgenstern Shin combines neuroscience, functional nutrition, and Eastern wisdom to guide women through midlife health challenges like stress, weight loss resistance, anxiety, and hormone imbalance.
Together we explored how modern convenience culture and diet culture have disconnected us from ancient traditions of nourishment, embodiment, and community. We discussed why mindset is just as important as recipes, how cooking regulates the nervous system, and how simple sensory experiences in the kitchen can restore calm, creativity, and presence.
Hope you enjoy!
“You know one of the most profound shifts we can make in our lives does not require a meditation cushion or yoga mat. It’s something most of us do every day. Often or autopilot or rushed or outsourced entirely. We’re talking about cooking. About the sacred, transformational act of nourishing ourselves and the people we love with real food made with our own hands.”
