Accessing True Self Care: The Power of Mind-Body Medicine

from Cheat Code Nutrition · host Elly Young

Today my guest Dr. Ami Kunimura, founder of the Self Care Institute and a PhD in mind-body medicine, joins me to discuss the science behind mind-body medicine. Ami shares her expertise in burnout prevention, stress management, and self-care, especially for professionals and organizations. She emphasizes the importance of morning and bedtime self-care practices, such as hydrating, deep breathing, and setting boundaries with technology. Ami highlights the concept of 'pseudo self-care' and the need to differentiate between true self-care and behaviors that manifest from avoidance or perfectionism. The episode also explores the challenges faced by mothers in prioritizing self-care and the role of societal norms in shaping beliefs about self-worth and "enoughness". Listeners gain valuable insights and practical tips for incorporating mind-body practices into their daily lives and nurturing a healthier relationship with themselves.Connect with Dr. Ami and her offerings at www.selfcareinstitute.com and join her weekly newsletter "Take a Moment".Find Myself Free Resources:To kick start your break from alcohol, get my free guide, the Top 10 Tips to Kick Start Your Break.If you're ready for more, check out my BRAVE course where I provide all of the lessons that took me from a daily drinker, to 3 years alcohol free and thriving.I'm with you, you got this!Elly
