If you listened to yesterday's show you heard us talking about how each body has a "Dosha" type and depending on that type you are, we follow different health protocols in the Ayurveda lifestyle method.  

Of course the best way to find that answer is to go to a health consultant and certified specialist in this field, but want to test yourself to get a glimpse into which Dosha you are?

According to The Ayurveda Institute, "Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science." It takes the approach that in order to have holistic health and to prevent and treat chronic disease, you follow something called the Ayurveda method, but what is that method and how can it help prevent and treat illness?

Join Lucia and guest Maggie Durbas, founder of Journey of Yoga in Simsbury, CT. Maggie's goal is to inspire health and happiness through the practice of yoga. She completed her Ayurveda Health Counselor training at the Himalayan Institute and is certified with the National Ayurveda Medical Association. She is also a certified Reiki Master.

Lucia and Maggie will walk us through this lifestyle technique, what it is and how it can help you!

According to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Metastatic Breast Cancer, also known as Stage IV cancer, is not a specific type of breast cancer, but rather the most advanced stage of breast cancer that has spread to other organs in the patient's body.  It is also known as the least understood type of cancer and has no cure. 

On today's show we speak to Krista Lawrence, a mom, friend, fierce advocate and person living with stage IV Metastatic breast cancer. Krista will share with us more about this incurable disease, why we understand so little and how through this adversity she uncovered her own secret to life.

Yesterday was “Fat Tuesday," and I took that day seriously.  In fact, the last week and a half I’ve had a hankering for cake every second of the day and a deep desire to grab a fork and literally mount a pastry case at Whole Foods.  All of these things helped me realize that my sugar cravings are way out of control.  For some reason this winter, even watching what I eat most days, the scale has managed to creep up.  For me feeling good means SO much more than my weight. (Something I have worked hard to change.)  But the reality is, I have been feeling sluggish and for me that means resetting my mind and body; just in time for SPRING!

Something that has worked for me before is the Whole 30 and I have been wanting to do the challenge since the start of the new year, so what better day to start than TODAY! And who better to do this challenge with than my Seekerhood.
 
SO if you’re anything like me, and want to spend some time renewing your mind and body as we head into spring (and the lenten season,) join me today as we kick off 30 days of refueling, refreshing and recentering.

All you have to do is click HERE and join our private group!  We'll post daily (you can too!) and help keep one another on track! Oh and what is the Whole 30?  You can check out the specifics HERE!
We will of course add our own spin on it too, like distressing help and mind enhancing fun!

Here is to living life well in mind, mood & body this spring!
