Magda Freedom Rod is one of our favorite people and we were ecstatic to have her back on the show. Magda is a lifestyle guide who focuses on holistic wellness, helping people to activate their highest potential through yoga, meditation and conscious eating. She offers sustainable living advice to empower her clients to lead a healthier, happier, more fulfilled life. With Summer just around the corner, it’s time to press that reset button.
Spring equinox, the first day of spring, symbolizes a new season and a fresh start: you come out of the darkness, into the light. And it also happens to be Magda’s birthday! It’s an exciting and energetic time of year, a time to review your New Year’s resolutions and see if they need reaffirming or changing. This is also the perfect moment to set new intentions.
But how do we stick to them? “Discipline,” says Magda. You must give your attention to the things you want to do and be. If you want to change, you need to be inspired. Magda’s tip for great inspiration (which we of course wholeheartedly agree with) is “Listen to the Food Heals Podcast!”. You heard it from the expert!
Spring cleaning isn’t just for houses, and Magda has a simple tip for spring cleaning the body: more plants, less animals. She also advocates greens, greens and more greens for cleansing and detoxing the body temple. “Dropping animal products from your diet can completely transform your life and your body.” Magda focuses on the crowding out approach – by adding more of the good stuff, the bad stuff naturally just falls away.
Our cells are constantly evolving, changing, growing and renewing so that every seven years we have a completely new body. Magda strongly advocates conscious eating, becoming aware of the food choices we make and how they impact not just our body but every sentient being we share the planet with, as well as the planet herself.
This won’t come as a surprise to those of you already into green juices, but the one thing we could all do with more of in our lives is… green vegetables! We get the lowdown from Magda on the best and easiest ways to get these healthy foods into the body, and tips to make them taste amazing.
The Spring Equinox is also a time to cleanse from any negative emotions you might be holding on to. Magda shares some of her tips to help you detox old thought patterns that no longer serve you. Yoga and meditation are her favorite tools for cleansing the mind.
Through poses and breath work, you can release the darkness and bring in the light. Let’s use this special time as inspiration to set new healthy habits!
