The Mindful Journey

Healing Through Nature and Adventure with Ruth O’Meara

In this episode of The Mindful Journey Podcast, host Sana sits down with Ruth O’Meara, founder of Leafy Green Tours, to explore how nature, adventure, and mindful living can become powerful tools for healing. Ruth shares her journey from a decade in international sales to becoming a hiking guide and surf instructor, and how stepping outdoors can bring peace, perspective, and self-discovery. From Irish surf breaks to simple mindful walks in the city, this conversation reminds us that healing doesn’t always come from stillness—it often comes from movement, adventure, and connecting with the natural world.
About the Guest:
Ruth O’Meara is the founder of Leafy Green Tours, offering small group experiences that blend nature, culture, and wellness. Based in Ireland, Ruth is a hiking guide and surf instructor who helps people reconnect with themselves through mindful outdoor adventures. Her work inspires people to slow down, live intentionally, and find healing in the simplicity of nature.
Key Takeaways:
Nature offers innate healing—whether it’s a forest walk, surfing, or sitting under a tree.
Adventure builds resilience, confidence, and self-trust by pushing us beyond our comfort zones.
Surfing taught Ruth that we can’t control everything—nature humbles us and teaches flexibility.
Even in cities, we can access “micro-moments” of nature through parks, balconies, plants, or mindful walks.
Adventure should be intentional, rooted in peace and joy—not used as an escape from life.
Healing is amplified in community—shared group experiences bring connection and collective calm.
Simple practices like taking breaks from screens, setting mindful intentions, and choosing slow living create lasting inner peace.

Food as Medicine: Plant-Based Healing, Martial Arts & Resilience with DK Kang

On this episode of The Mindful Journey with host Sana, we dive into the transformative power of food as medicine with author and martial artist DK Kang. From growing up on traditional Korean food to experimenting with nutrition during training, DK shares how food shifted from being just fuel to becoming a foundation for healing and resilience. When his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, they turned to plant-based living—discovering how it boosted energy, improved recovery, and supported emotional strength during treatment.
We explore how diet, martial arts, breathwork, and gratitude weave together into a holistic way of living that helps us face life’s toughest challenges. Listeners will gain practical insights on plant-based eating, mindful practices, and why food can be one of the most powerful tools for health, clarity, and longevity.
About the Guest:
DK Kang is the author of The Mindset Metamorphosis and The Kimchi Connection Cookbook. A lifelong martial artist, Spartan Ultra finisher, and practitioner of breathwork and gratitude rituals, DK blends faith, movement, and nutrition to help others rewire their mindset and resilience.
Key Takeaways:
Food can shift from being just fuel to medicine when we align it with healing and purpose.
Plant-based eating supported DK’s wife’s cancer recovery and boosted his own training performance.
Eliminating soda and processed foods improved energy, endurance, and mental clarity.
Fermented foods like kimchi play a vital role in gut health and brain function.
Plant-based nutrition shortened recovery times for endurance training and martial arts.
Mindful eating—slowing down, chewing properly, and practicing gratitude—transforms the way we nourish ourselves.
Resilience comes from the integration of food, breathwork, faith, and daily rituals.
Start small: adding even one fruit or vegetable consistently can make a difference.

Ripples of Awareness: From Self to Planetary Well-Being with Clara Schroeder

What if the calm you cultivate in yourself could ripple out to shift families, workplaces, and even the health of our planet? In this episode of The Mindful Journey with host Sana, guest Clara Schroeder explores how mindfulness practices rooted in nature can create both personal and collective resilience. Drawing from her lived experience as a meditator, eco-therapist, and author of Re-Nature, Clara shows us how awareness is more than a personal tool—it’s a pathway to community strength and planetary care. From trauma recovery to teaching leaders and communities, she shares why mindful presence isn’t just self-care, but world-care.
This conversation is direct, reflective, and practical—reminding us that mindfulness doesn’t have to be lofty or reserved for retreats. Instead, it can be 30 seconds between Zoom meetings or a quiet moment noticing a single tree on a busy street.
About the Guest:
Clara Schroeder is a certified mindfulness teacher, eco-therapist, and author of Re-Nature: How Nature Helps Us Feel Better and Do Better. With a background in psychology, environmental protection, and spiritual practice across eight countries, Clara helps individuals and communities reconnect with themselves and the natural world. She guides leaders, youth, and communities through burnout, eco-anxiety, and resilience building, weaving mindfulness with nature-based practices.
Key Takeaways:
Inner calm is not self-indulgence—it ripples outward into families, workplaces, and communities.
Nature acts as both mirror and teacher; it reflects our emotions while reminding us of resilience and impermanence.
Mindfulness is not about escaping to the mountains—it’s about tuning in wherever you are, even in an urban street or a busy office.
Eco-anxiety and grief are normal human responses, but connecting with nature helps shift those emotions into agency and hope.
Individual mindfulness can scale into collective resilience when practiced in community spaces such as Climate Cafés.
Mindfulness doesn’t require hours—30 seconds of checking in between meetings can regulate focus, leadership, and presence.
Trauma-informed and socially inclusive mindfulness practices are essential for accessibility and safety across diverse populations.
The ripple effect of mindful living connects the personal with the planetary, making inner awareness an act of global responsibility.

Redefining Fitness, Brain Health, and Longevity with PJ Glassey

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with PJ Glassey—founder of XGym and creator of the groundbreaking 21-minute workout—to explore how fitness and brain science can be redefined for real longevity. From challenging outdated 1890s gym training models to creating neuroscience-backed methods, PJ’s journey is rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and purpose.
What began in 1989 as a quest to make exercise safer and more effective grew into an 11-year experiment leading to XGym. Along the way, PJ’s mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis shifted his focus from just muscle to mind, igniting a mission to connect physical strength with brain health and functional longevity. In this conversation, PJ shares how time-under-tension training, brain-type testing, and lifestyle experiments can help anyone not just look fit, but truly live better, longer, and with more purpose.
This episode isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about questioning what really serves us.
About the Guest:
PJ Glassey is the founder of XGym, a fitness innovator, researcher, and brain health advocate. With a background in psychology and exercise science, PJ has spent decades developing high-efficiency training systems, combining physiology and neuroscience. He is also the creator of the BrainType.me test, helping people customize fitness and lifestyle strategies based on their brain wiring.
Key Takeaways:
Traditional sets-and-reps training was invented in 1891; PJ developed a 21-minute, twice-a-week method proven to deliver sustainable results.
Fitness should prioritize functional strength and longevity, not just aesthetics.
Personal experiments and self-discovery are key—everyone must become their own “guinea pig.”
Time-under-tension and muscle fatigue are essential for triggering real physiological change.
Brain health relies on oxygenation, quality nutrition, restorative sleep, continuous learning, and strong relationships.
Personal loss—his mother’s Alzheimer’s—drove PJ deeper into brain science, leading to methods that support anti-aging and dementia prevention.
Longevity is not about comfort—it’s about staying active, learning new things, and embracing purpose-driven living.
Expectation shapes experience: cultivating a positive outlook on tomorrow impacts health and fulfillment.

Awareness That Heals: Listen to Your Body, Unhook from Urgency, and Rewire Stress with Dr. Evette Rose

On this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Avik sits down with Dr. Evette Rose, trauma recovery expert and author of Metaphysical Anatomy, to cut through noise and get practical about awareness. We unpack how the body “speaks” through sensations, why constant urgency blinds us to those signals, and the fastest way to get back to baseline: breath, safety, and curiosity. Expect clear tools for regulating your vagus nerve, disrupting fear-driven patterns, and breaking the hidden dopamine loop that keeps you addicted to struggle. If burnout, anxiety, or scattered attention are running your day, this conversation shows you how to return to what matters—without fluff.
About the Guest:
Dr. Evette Rose is an internationally known holistic counselor and trauma recovery expert. She’s the author of 21 books, including the global bestseller Metaphysical Anatomy. Her work blends neuroscience, somatic awareness, and compassionate, step-by-step methods for healing stored stress and trauma.
Key Takeaways:
Awareness is half the work. Name what’s happening, then apply the right action—without panic or judgment.
The body communicates via sensations and emotions. Pause, breathe, and get curious before reaching for quick fixes that mute the signal.
Safety first. Ask, “Do I feel safe enough to slow down?” Nervous systems stuck in urgency miss early signals and drift toward burnout.
Morning and evening check-ins build attunement: scan thoughts, sensations, and any missed cues from the day.
For empaths, pair meditation with gentle sensory input (touching beads, swirling water, or mindful walking) to prevent anxiety spikes.
Steady breathing supports vagus-nerve regulation. Simple grounding imagery (feet “rooted” into the earth) helps return to the present.
Early stress imprints can wire hyper-vigilance. Shift from “listening to defend” to “listening to understand.”
Challenge urgency. Ask, “Where’s the threat?” Separate old associations (past criticism or shame) from today’s low-risk tasks.
Don’t let struggle become your dopamine reward. Use micro-goals and celebrate completion to retrain motivation toward progress, not chaos.
Choose change before crisis. Move from complaint to action by deciding the outcome you want and taking a small step now.

Immigrants bring healing traditions—herbs, mindfulness, yoga—that enrich Western wellness practices.
Storytelling, as seen in Chicken Soup for the Soul, has universal power to connect at a heart level and shift perspectives.
Identity for immigrants and their children is not a tug-of-war but a bridge where two cultures can coexist.

Gut–Brain Connection, Bloating & “Leaky Gut” Explained (with practical fixes) with Jacqui Meehan

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana talks with Jacqui Meehan, a functional nutrition practitioner who turned her own ulcerative colitis and hormone struggles into a methodical, gut-first approach to mental and physical well-being. We unpack the gut–brain axis, why stress can tank stomach acid, how dysbiosis and “leaky gut” can fuel inflammation tied to mood, and simple practices that reduce chronic bloating—even if you’re eating “plain” food. Clear, evidence-curious, and practical: you’ll leave with everyday actions (breathing before meals, chewing, fibre variety, whole-food upgrades) plus a realistic view of labs like stool, food-sensitivity, and blood work. 
About the Guest:
Jacqui Meehan is a Level-2 Restorative Health practitioner and functional nutrition coach. After a mid-20s diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, she rebuilt her health and now helps women address “mystery symptoms” through gut-centered healing, stress regulation, and targeted labs.
Key Takeaways:
Gut–brain is a two-way street: Stress hormones (e.g., cortisol) can shift the microbiome toward more inflammatory species; gut inflammation can, in turn, intensify anxiety/depressed mood.
Stomach acid matters: Low acid—often from chronic stress—slows digestion, promotes fermentation, and leads to upper-abdominal bloating.
Common bloating drivers: Low stomach acid, SIBO (small-intestinal bacterial overgrowth), food sensitivities from increased intestinal permeability, and poor motility.
“Leaky gut,” simply: Mucus barrier + intestinal lining become compromised; larger particles and microbial byproducts slip into circulation, elevating systemic inflammation.
Foundations first: Prioritize nutrient-dense whole foods, hydration, sleep, daily movement, and nervous-system regulation before chasing supplements.
Microbiome & mood: Microbes create signaling molecules and interact with the vagus nerve; downstream effect = stress resilience when the gut is in balance.
Universal, low-risk upgrades: Eat more non-starchy vegetables and fiber diversity; minimize ultra-processed foods; breathe and chew thoroughly before swallowing.
Personalization counts: Use functional labs (stool, blood work, food-sensitivity testing) to cut guesswork and tailor interventions.
Mindful eating works: A brief pre-meal pause (3 deep breaths + gratitude) signals “rest-and-digest” and can reduce bloat.

How Stress Rewires Hormones (and What Actually Helps): Mind–Body Strategies That Work — Faith Nelson ND & Amoree Wilde ND

On The Mindful Journey with host Sana, naturopathic duo Faith Nelson ND and Amoree Wilde ND unpack how chronic stress reshapes hormone balance and shows up as sleep disruptions, skin issues, thyroid slowdowns, and brain fog. We dig into mindset, breathwork, and practical habit shifts; how men and women experience stress differently; and what to do when you’re stuck in the stress–sleep–hormone loop. The conversation is direct, myth-aware, and focused on safe, do-able changes you can discuss with your clinician. Keywords: stress hormones, women’s health, perimenopause, menopause, cortisol, thyroid, mindset, breathwork, naturopathic, herbal support, Fiducia Apothecary, holistic health.
About the guests:
Faith Nelson ND & Amoree Wilde ND are a mother–daughter team—both certified naturopathic doctors and master herbalists—who combine generational wisdom with modern practice. Their work emphasizes education, nervous-system regulation, and gentle, evidence-informed lifestyle supports. They also create small-batch tinctures through Fiducia Apothecary and consult with clients remotely.
Key takeaways:
Medical Disclaimer: The following takeaways are for educational purposes only. They do not substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your licensed healthcare provider before making changes to your health regimen.
 
Stress is not just a feeling; it shifts hormone patterns and daily function. Aim to change your relationship to stress rather than “eliminate” it.
Men and women can respond differently to stressors. Personalize routines (nutrition timing, training, sleep) with professional guidance.
Short-term stress can be useful (alertness, performance). The issue is living in chronic “fight-or-flight,” which disrupts sleep, digestion, skin, and weight patterns.
Foundational resets beat quick fixes: consistent meals, steady sleep windows, light morning movement, and breathwork to downshift the nervous system.
Breathing and simple affirmations are low-risk tools to lower perceived stress and support better choices through the day.
If you’re in a stress–sleep loop, start with one lever: regular wind-down time, screens off, room cool and dark, gentle breathing before bed.
Supplements and herbs can be supportive for some individuals. Use them to complement—not replace—clinical care and lifestyle basics.
“Cleanses” and hormone products are not one-size-fits-all. Always review plans with a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you have a diagnosis or take medications.
Education matters: learn how stress, sleep, and blood sugar interact so you can spot early signs and course-correct sooner.
Progress is practical: pick one change you can keep for 30 days; then add the next.

Healthy Aging Without the Hype: Plant-Based Living, Stress Resilience, and Simple Longevity Rituals with Michael Dorfman

On this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana speaks with 83-year-young health coach and investigative author Michael Dorfman about practical longevity—habits you can actually keep. From plant-based nutrition and intermittent fasting to cold exposure, breathwork, and stress management, Michael breaks down what moves the needle and what’s just marketing noise. We also examine cultural narratives around aging, why chronic disease trends are rising worldwide, and how to make better choices even when “organic” feels out of reach. Clear, direct, and grounded—no silver bullets, just sustainable practices for adding life to your years.
About the Guest:
Michael Dorfman is a longevity advocate, health and nutrition life coach, and investigative author based in San Miguel, Mexico. With five decades of personal experimentation and research, he focuses on plant-based nutrition, hormetic practices, and mindset. His forthcoming book is The Longevity Wellness Revolution.
Key Takeaways:
Aging is not a straight line of decline; mindset and daily choices shape quality of life at any age.
Chronic disease burden is rising globally; passive consumption of fast food and media messaging fuels poor choices—question sources and read beyond headlines.
You don’t need perfection to eat well: prioritize minimally processed, plant-forward foods; choose organic when feasible, but “healthy non-organic” still beats ultra-processed.
Consider community or home growing and sprouts to lower cost barriers and increase nutrient density.
Intermittent fasting can improve focus and energy for some; tune timing and frequency to your body and goals.
Short, controlled stressors (cold showers, breath holds, heat) can build resilience; start light and emphasize proper breathing.
Movement matters: regular, enjoyable activity (e.g., morning sport) paired with fasting can feel energizing—track weight/energy to avoid overdoing it.
Stress management is a core longevity lever; have go-to protocols for acute stress (breath, routine, boundaries).
Respect for elders influences health culture; reclaim purpose and contribution in later decades.
Don’t wait for your 60s: most diseases develop over decades—begin gentle, sustainable habits now.
