Mindfulness Lessons from My Dog Daisy's Recovery
The Habit Healers
10/08/24 • 15 min
In this episode, I share a personal story about my dog Daisy, a 60-pound mixed breed we rescued from Boulder, Colorado. Recently, Daisy underwent surgery for a torn cruciate ligament, which is essentially the canine equivalent of an ACL tear. The recovery process has been quite an experience, involving baby gates, the cone of shame, and even spoon-feeding her meals. Through this journey, Daisy has taught me several valuable lessons about mindfulness and living in the present. Despite her discomfort and the unfamiliar situation, Daisy has shown adaptability and resilience. She has also strengthened our bond through trust and connection, accepting help without resistance. I reflect on how Daisy's behavior can teach us about living in the moment, being adaptable, nurturing relationships, and starting small. For instance, Daisy's willingness to eat from a spoon after initially refusing food from her bowl highlights the importance of taking small steps and being open to change. Additionally, I discuss the significance of listening to our bodies and addressing our emotions rather than reacting impulsively. This mindfulness can help us manage stress, improve our well-being, and make more thoughtful decisions. To encourage mindfulness, I announce a 30-day mindfulness walking challenge starting on Monday. The goal is to be present during your walk, whether outside or indoors, and to engage your senses fully. I conclude by expressing my gratitude to the listeners and sending thoughts of joy, peace, and love. I invite everyone to share their thoughts and experiences in the comments and to subscribe for more insights. Thank you for joining me, and I look forward to sharing more lessons from Daisy in the future.

Understanding Estrogen: The Key Hormone in Women's Health
The Habit Healers
09/15/24 • 16 min
Hello everyone! In today's episode, we delved into the fascinating world of estrogen, a crucial hormone that significantly impacts women's health. As a board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician, I've been researching this topic extensively, especially after my own experiences with perimenopause and menopause. Key Points Covered: Introduction to Estrogen: Estrogen is a group of hormones primarily produced in the ovaries, but also in smaller amounts in the adrenal glands and fat tissues. There are three main types of estrogen: estradiol (common in childbearing ages), estrone (present after menopause), and estriol (produced during pregnancy). Functions of Estrogen: Regulates the menstrual cycle. Develops secondary sexual characteristics. Maintains bone health and cardiovascular health. Supports skin and hair health. Estrogen and the Menstrual Cycle: Estrogen levels fluctuate during the menstrual cycle, affecting the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. Perimenopause and Menopause: Perimenopause typically starts in the 40s, with erratic estrogen levels causing irregular menstrual cycles and symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings. Menopause is defined as the end of menstrual cycles for 12 consecutive months, usually between ages 45 and 55, with common symptoms including hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and joint pain. Postmenopause: After menopause, low estrogen levels can increase the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases, and cause vaginal dryness. Estrogen's Effects on Different Tissues: Reproductive system: Promotes growth and maintenance of the uterine lining and vaginal walls. Bones: Maintains bone density. Cardiovascular system: Protects against atherosclerosis. Skin and hair: Maintains thickness and elasticity. Brain: Supports cognitive functions and mood regulation. Metabolism: Influences fat storage. Estrogen Dominance: Occurs when estrogen is disproportionately high compared to other sex hormones, leading to symptoms like irregular periods, weight gain, and increased risk of certain diseases. Causes include diet, environmental toxins, hormonal treatments, and chronic stress. Management includes a whole food plant-based diet, reducing exposure to environmental toxins, maintaining a healthy weight, and stress management. Phytoestrogens: Found in soy and other plants, phytoestrogens can compete with natural estrogens and may help decrease estrogen effects. I hope you found this episode informative. Tomorrow, we'll be discussing progesterone and its role in women's health. Don't forget to subscribe, comment, and share this episode with anyone who might benefit from it.

Welcome to The Habit Healers Podcast | From Doctor to Healer
The Habit Healers
02/22/25 • 7 min
Welcome to the first episode of The Habit Healers Podcast! In this episode, I take you on my personal journey - from dreaming of becoming a doctor to realizing that true healing goes beyond prescriptions.
For years, I followed the medical model: diagnose, prescribe, repeat. But something felt off. Patients weren’t truly healing - they were just managing their decline. Everything changed when one patient’s simple dietary shift opened my eyes to the power of food as medicine. That moment led me to discover a deeper truth: healing isn’t just about food - it’s about habits.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
- The pivotal moments that changed my perspective on health
- Why traditional medicine often falls short in creating real healing
- How food and habits can reverse chronic disease and transform lives
- The Habit Healer Manifesto - a guide to making healing effortless and sustainable
Download Your Free Habit Healer Manifesto Wallpaper Here - https://www.drmarbas.com/habit-healer-wallpaper
If you’re ready to break free from the cycle of prescriptions and build habits that create real, lasting health, this podcast is for you. Because you are always one healing habit away.

The Seven Culinary Keys to Amazing Plant-Based Cooking
The Habit Healers
11/12/24 • 36 min
I had the pleasure of interviewing Chef Mark Reinfeld, a renowned vegan chef and founder of Vegan Fusion. We delved into Mark's fascinating journey from a law student to a celebrated vegan chef, which began with his travels and experiences on a kibbutz in Israel and his subsequent commitment to a plant-based lifestyle. Mark shared insights into his culinary philosophy, emphasizing the importance of making plant-based food delicious and accessible. He introduced his "seven culinary keys to creating amazing plant-based cuisine," which include palate development, template recipes, global spice blends, global sauces, veganizing traditional dishes, superfood nutrition, and continuous experimentation. These keys are designed to help anyone, from beginners to seasoned chefs, create flavorful and nutritious plant-based meals. We also discussed Mark's comprehensive four-week vegan culinary training program, which covers a wide range of topics from palate development to global cuisine and plant-based dairy. This program is designed for anyone interested in enhancing their plant-based cooking skills, whether for personal health, professional development, or ethical reasons. Throughout the episode, Mark's passion for plant-based living and his dedication to teaching others how to make delicious vegan food were evident.
