Preview: Your Wellness Journey Podcast

My name is Marla Barr, and this is a story about wellness! When I was young, I saw many of the people I loved die far too soon from diseases we now know are preventable. I didn’t like my DNA. Sure, I’ll take the blue eyes, the feisty nature, and the fondness for math. But cancer, heart disease, weight issues, gout, and food allergies? No thanks!

I wasn’t born an athlete or a genetically healthy body shape, so I put my time and energy into figuring it out. The logical thing to do: become a doctor. But that simply going to be managing sickness, not preventing it. So, I got a degree in food science, but I needed more: Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, Tai Chi, Yoga, Reflexology, Reiki, and then back to medicine and a fellowship in Healthy Aging from Stanford School of Medicine.

Then came a 12-year detour to work with amazing wild animals. You can learn so much about eating from watching a giraffe and gorilla chew their food, and how important it is to breathe and meditate from an elephant named Kamala. Add all that up, and you get my new show called Your Wellness Journey. In these episodes, you can be a part of a monthly 7-Day Wellness Detox, and be part of the discussion that can lead you down the road to eating well and being well. There are no outlandish fad diets on this show, just Your Wellness Journey.
