In episode 58, I interview Sabrina Kippur, the founder of Juice And Salt, a NYC based juice company.
Sabrina has worked in the healthcare sector in several capacities throughout her career: pharmaceutical advertising, nonprofit fundraising for hospitals and community health practices and Pilates instruction. Her career has been dedicated to improving the health of others, and her trajectory from advertising to Pilates instruction has allowed her to have an increasingly more direct impact on others’ health. Sabrina holds a bachelor’s degree from Stanford University, a master of science in fundraising and grant-making from New York University and a Pilates certification from the Kane School of Core Integration.
Sabrina’s career experience and years of illness have given her significant knowledge of best practices for living with chronic inflammation and disease. As a Pilates instructor, Sabrina has taught extensively in the chronic illness community, including those with neurodegenerative and rheumatological diseases, and connective tissue disorders, as well.
Tune in to hear more about Sabrina's health journey, as well as her insights into the juice industry (hint: which kinds of juices are a waste of your money, and possibly detrimental to your health!).

Raise your hand if you have ever been intimidated by the concept of meditation, or have been unsure where to even begin.
It's no secret that I love meditation and am a huge advocate for all the many ways that it can improve your mental health. Meditation has had a huge impact on my life, especially following the traumatic brain injury I sustained at age 22. But I often hear resistance from people who are new to meditation about whether it's right for them and where to even begin. There are actually several different styles of meditation, and each one will resonate with different people for different reasons. In this episode, I break down many of the the major types of meditation and what they're about so you can make the best decision for your practice. Or just so you can learn a little bit more about the differences between each type! Tune in to get your meditation 101 education - and even a special meditative exercise at the end ;)
