In this episode, Maya Acosta shares her experiences and insights from the Lifestyle Medicine Conference in Denver, Colorado. She covers various topics, including trauma, virtual cardiac rehab, and healthy aging. Maya highlights key lectures by Dr. James Gordon on Mind-Body techniques, Dr. Columbus Batiste on virtual cardiac rehab, and Dr. Michael Greger on aging. The episode provides a holistic view of health and well-being, emphasizing the importance of self-care and adopting a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle.


Three Key Takeaways:

  • Universal Impact of Trauma: Dr. James Gordon's lecture underscores that trauma is universal and affects everyone to varying degrees. It is stored in the body, mind, and spirit, leading to physical and mental health imbalances. Techniques such as group therapy, deep breathing, journaling, and movement can empower individuals to manage trauma effectively.
  • Revolutionizing Cardiac Rehab: Dr. Columbus Batista explores the transformative potential of virtual cardiac rehabilitation. By leveraging technology and innovative strategies, virtual cardiac rehab demonstrates a sustainable reduction in readmission rates, showcasing significant cost savings and improved healthcare system efficiency. The integration of wearables and apps, along with personalized coaching, enhances patient engagement and outcomes.
  • Healthy Aging Strategies: Dr. Michael Greger's insights on aging highlight the benefits of restricting dietary protein, adopting a plant-based diet, and incorporating lifestyle factors like exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. The book "How Not to Age" emphasizes the role of autophagy, a natural cellular mechanism for self-degradation and recycling, in promoting cognitive health and overall well-being.


Maya also provides a glimpse into her journey, commitment to self-care, and the vibrant community she engaged with at the conference. The episode concludes with a preview of upcoming content, including testimonials and vendor spotlights, offering valuable resources for listeners on their wellness journey.
