38: The Power of Food and Mindfulness for Healing

My guest on the show today is Mona Sharma.  

Mona Sharma is a dynamic leader and entrepreneur in the health and wellness industry who works with high profile clients around the world. As Will Smith’s nutritionist, she has a recurring role on the Facebook series Red Table Talk where they profile her work with Will, and the entire Smith family’s healing journey. Mona has seen first hand the healing power of food and mindfulness to heal, having grown up living on an Ashram. Her approach is rooted in this philosophy - food as medicine, movement as therapy and mindfulness as the journey to optimize health. Mona is also the founder of XicamaTM, an innovative line of functional beverage products that deliver gut health and immune boosting benefits of the superfood jicama.

In this episode, Mona and I dive deeply into the power of mindfulness, food and our gut microbiome and their effects on our own personal healing and overall health outcomes. Mona’s energy is so calming and peaceful and I know you are going to love feeling wrapped up in her wisdom during this episode. Enjoy!
