Abel James returns to The Health Bridge! Recently Abel and his wife sold their house and a large amount of their possessions, downsized to an RV and traveled the country. He shares with Sara Gottfried and Pedram Shojai the story of his experience cutting strong ties to email and other technology. What effects does declaring technology bankruptcy form? What sort of rejuvenation can be gained by declaring time wealth? So often we're looking to please others but do we stop to do something good for ourselves? The trio also move to the topic of food and they discuss the love that should exist for the ritual of eating.

How strong are our connections to food? For some people, food is just a necessity but for many others, food is an experience. For those without a strong connection to food, how can food be transformed to be enjoyed rather than just a thing we shovel into our mouths? This week on The Health Bridge, Sara Gottfried and Pedram Shojai welcome guest Rebecca Katz. She's a chef with formal training from the Natural Culinary Institute. To her food can be a transformative experience. She tells the story of cooking for her father who was fighting cancer and how food doesn't have to be a sullen experience and how food can be the highlight of a person's day. How can food be used to empower people? How can food help us operate at peak capacity?

Tom Malterre, friend of Pedram and Sara's, returns to the Health Bridge! In this episode he talks about elimination diets. Elimination diets have been around for decades, yet when we become sick we rarely think of the foods we eat as a suspect. In what different ways can the foods we eat make us sick? It's clear that some foods are healthy and others are unhealthy, but what exactly does that mean? Can foods affect the way our bodies function? And how can different foods have different effects on the body?

You may have noticed that our Health Bridge releases have been very sporadic over the last few weeks. There is in fact a reason for this. It's not that Pedram and Sara aren't prioritizing this show. No, in fact on January 31st Sara fell and hit her head and had to take it easy for some time. Sara has a very open discussion with Pedram on how this incident forced changes in her behavior and how it affected her family as well. How can brain injuries change the way people's brains work? And how can we best maintain balance in our lives before an injury forces us into balance?
