Happy 4th of July! While we vacation, please enjoy this replay: Nourishing the Soul: Mindful Eating and the Journey to a Vibrant Life Without Dieting

Explore the Wisdom of Dr. Michelle May, Founder of Am I Hungry?, as We Rediscover the Instinctive Connection with Food

Welcome to the Aging & Spirituality podcast, where we talk about realizing the higher potential inside of you that has yet to be discovered.

I'm thrilled to introduce our guest today, Dr. Michelle May, founder of Am I Hungry? - a platform that guides you toward rediscovering your innate connection with food. Dr. May believes that we are all born with an instinctive relationship with food, a connection that gets clouded as we navigate the complexities of life.

In this episode, Michelle takes us on a journey back to our roots, where, as children, we intuitively recognize hunger and fullness without guilt. She enlightens us on the profound benefits of mindful eating, from heightened awareness of physical and emotional cues to recognizing non-hunger triggers for eating. Dr. Michelle unveils the secrets to meeting our needs effectively, choosing food for enjoyment and nourishment, and ultimately, using the fuel we consume to live the vibrant life we crave.

Join us as we explore the broad applications of mindful eating with Dr. May, unlocking the door to a healthier, happier relationship with food and the cessation of yo-yo-dieting. She has written four books entitled Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat, and they are designed to meet the specific needs of people with diabetes, binge eating, athletes, and students.

If you are ready to let go of your inner struggle with food and discover how mindful eating can help you live the full, vibrant life you crave – without dieting, listen in now.

Welcome to the Aging & Spirituality Podcast!

Are you ready to unleash your inner potential, no matter your age?

Today, we delve into a practice close to many hearts: the Spiritual aspects of Yoga. While most associate it with physical postures, Yoga offers a transformative journey that transcends exercise.

Imagine a tapestry woven with body, mind, and spirit threads. That's what Yoga truly is. This ancient practice, with roots stretching back millennia, guides us toward harmonious alignment with ourselves and the universe. It's a philosophy, a science, an art - a multifaceted pathway to greater understanding and peace.

And guess what? You're never too old to embark on this journey! Consistent Yoga nourishes your soul, aligning your life with joy, fulfillment, and a deep sense of belonging. Imagine all aspects of your being - physical, mental, and spiritual - working in beautiful synchronicity. That's the magic of Yoga.

But where do we begin? Our roadmap lies in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a yogic philosophy built on pillars called the Yamas and Niyamas. These ethical guidelines are a compass, guiding us to align with the universal rhythms within and around us.

Ready to explore these pillars? Join us as we delve into the Yamas, encouraging qualities like kindness, honesty, and respect. We'll then uncover the Niyamas, nurturing self-discipline, reflection, and connection to something bigger than ourselves.

This is your invitation to awaken your inner potential, regardless of age. So, grab your mat, open your mind, and join us on this exciting exploration of the spiritual heart of Yoga. Remember, it's never too late to weave your body, mind, and spirit tapestry!

Stay tuned as we unravel the secrets of the Yamas and Niyamas and unlock the hidden potential within you!

How can we change our perspective about aging as we pass 60 and start to acknowledge the opportunities available now that weren't before?

Age slides up on us. We tend not to plan for it; for the most part, no one explains it to us beforehand. It's all left to us to figure out as we go.

More research is now showing that our boomer generation wants to age successfully, have physical vigor, and continued intellectual growth. But even more, boomers realize that they have the desire to experience their spiritual nature.

Listen in as we discuss what it means to begin on a spiritual path in later life or expand your consciousness for more incredible benefits as we age.
