You’ve read the news, you’ve seen the stats and you know we are living in a pretty sick culture. While everyone is arguing over health care and insurance seems to get more and more expensive, maybe the best New Year resolution we can make is to cultivate wellness wisdom and take charge of our health and well-being. No-one can live your life as well as you and this is why it’s necessary to be an informed advocate for your own health. Knowledge is important but self-awareness is equally if not more important. At World Wise Beauty the aim is to cultivate wellness wisdom so we can live life well and enjoy our life journey. Together we glean wisdom and knowledge from the wise gurus in wellness culture who are committed to educating and guiding us, but also never losing sight that we ultimately know ourselves best. ‘Patient Heal Thy Self’.
In 2018 I talked with doctors, experts, and visionaries on the cutting edge of wellness culture, and each of them seemed to be touching on an important idea, which is we as ‘individuals’ have our own internal compass that can guide us to good health, healing and well-being. 2018 was the year of self-care and break through medical science and research. While the research and science has been exciting, there seems to be a collective wisdom rising in all corners of health and wellness culture, signaling that perhaps we’ve been out of touch with the basic needs humans require to function, thrive and live well. Below you will find a quick review of the books I found insightful and inspiring in 2018, along with links to the Q&A’s with the wise guru authors. I also added a few ‘wise bites’ from the authors. Wishing you a healthy and happy New Year. May your heart and soul be your wellness pilot as you journey on with your beautiful life. More inspiration + wisdom + tools to come in 2019…

YEAR IN REVIEW: LET YOUR HEART & SOUL BE YOUR WELLNESS PILOT
inspiration + wisdom + tools
Author Wise Bite: “Healthy lifestyle in all its facets helps our heart health but one thing we don’t appreciate enough is our healthy relationship to our loved ones, our neighbors, and fostering a sense of community. These important human connections are all important to the heart and living life well.” ~Dr. Sandeep Jauhar
Author Wise Bite: “If you are stuck in the middle of a fun famine, it’s time to find your way back to the land of plenty!” ~Rebecca Scritchfield
Author Wise Bite: “Hydration is it the first step in preventing and treating chronic illness. From fatigue, headache, brain fog to certain cancers-bladder and colon, to even diabetes type2 and Alzheimer’s. The same way we can be undernourished with certain nutrients triggering health conditions, many of us are severely dehydrated and it often leads to illness.” ~Dr. Dana Cohen
Author Wise Bite: “It’s about clearing out what doesn’t matter to make room for what does.” ~Courtney Carver
