Show notes

In this EP, I welcome back the OG’s of the metabolic nutrition space, The Real Food Gangstas – Josh and Jeanne Rubin. This is Josh and Jeanne’s fifth or sixth time on the pod! In today’s EP, they share their insights on the importance of simplifying the healing process to reduce stress and complexity. This conversation dives deep into how lifestyle changes, light environment, and daily habits critically influence our overall well-being.

Early last year, a noticeable shift in Josh and Jeanne’s approach to their work emerged. Moving away from solely educational content, they began to simplify their message, focusing on straightforward and actionable healing strategies. Today, they introduce us to their ‘Healing Hub’ and ‘Nourished Nervous System’ programs, designed to foster new healthy habits and behaviours that reshape our biology and promote holistic health.

Key Takeaways:

Importance of Lifestyle Factors:

Home environment, relationships, and professional situations play a significant role in the healing process.
Small changes, such as walking after meals, can have a profound impact on health.

Creating Space for Recovery:

Emphasising the necessity of making time for recovery, even with a busy schedule.
Understanding that healing might not look perfect, but it’s essential to adapt and make the most of available time.

Decluttering the Health Landscape:

Simplifying the approach to health by focusing on essential, manageable habits.
Avoiding the chaos and stress often found in the current health and wellness space.

Reshaping Experiences and Biology:

Developing new, healthy habits and behaviours to reshape daily experiences.
Recognising that these changes in daily inputs influence hormonal balance, nervous system function, and overall health.

Quotes:

"And some people say, well, I have five kids. You can’t, I can’t, you have to focus on the time you do have, you have to make that choice to do it. It might not look how you want it to, and it might not look how you think it should look. But you got to do it differently because what else can you do? You either stay on the same track and you break down or you start making changes and you show your kids how to do it differently."
"We’re saying, this is your story, and look at your day, your week. We need to start looking at the things in your life that you need to shift, that you have to adapt, that aren’t working for you, that are working for you in a sense. Because really what we’re doing is, we’re creating new healthy habits and behaviors. We’re reshaping your experiences, which reshapes your biology, because all of that in your day are the inputs that create the outputs in your hormones, your nervous system and everything."
