The 14th Episode of Domination University releases. I’m proud of how far we’ve come and the momentum that is now in motion. Looking back at the different podcasts I’ve recorded, I smile at how enjoyable they were to be part of. This podcast in my life has given me the excuse and opportunity to have meaningful conversation with people I admire, esp with those whom I have just recently met and asked to join on a whim.

It also fulfills a passion of mine to have an extension for which to share self-care practices. It is my commitment to continually work on myself so that I may hold an active role in the carving of my life and alignment of my higher self. It’s an exciting time to be alive.

Not to get all cliche and shit, but it’s a New freaking Year! With a new year, structurally I’m reminded to reflect and make adjustments. I was inspired by a class I took recently at LAVC on nutrition and Natural Hormone Balancing. For someone who grew up working at a co-op with hippie parents, I’ve always known the power of food as medicine. But I had forgotten. You gotta eat, so why not make food your first line of support for your health. I’m referring to eating healthy food that actually tastes good, plus is nourishing.

The teacher Carrie Bonfitto of Two Hearts Nutrition also teaches a cooking coarse on how to cook healthy, great tasting food. Plus she’s Italian, so I know for a fact that she knows what good tasting food tastes like! I was extremely impressed with her depth of knowledge, understanding of the cultural importance of food and also understanding that people have different body types with different needs, and different emotional impacts. The female hormone balancing class was very interesting as well. I can relate to having different energy levels, different times of the month. She offers simple, practical solutions. You gotta eat!

We are appreciative Carrie was generous enough to jump behind the mic and offer her board certified holistic nutritional advice. You can hear her on Ep. 14, Two Hearts Nutrition, named after her practice. www.twoheartsnutrition.com If you are looking to feel better or deal with a health issue, she has much experience with everything from inflammation, pain, cardiovascular and much more. Perhaps you just want more control of your health with food that tastes good and can fit into any budget, I recommend you check her out on her website and/or her facebook group, Vitality Seekers- Self-Care Support.
