Episode Twenty Eight- Becoming a Healthy Deviant with Pilar Gerasimo

Thanks to decades of advances in awareness, research, and resources, humans are living longer. Yet large amounts of the population are consistently facing chronic health issues, diseases, and health disparities, These ongoing challenges are common and costly, and many are preventable.

Many factors are behind our current levels of health, including the social narratives we have created around lifestyles that have become normal.’

These questionable lifestyles are undermining our well-being and imperiling the future of humanity.   

Welcome to Episode Twenty-Eight of The Nature of Wellness Podcast. 

On this episode, we sat down with award-winning health journalist, founding editor of Experience Life magazine (which reaches millions with each issue), and co-host of the top-rated The Living Experiment podcast Pilar Gerasimo. 

Pilar served as senior vice president of Healthy Living for Life Time Fitness, lead health editor at The Huffington Post, and chief creative officer for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Her incredible work has earned attention from the New York Times, Psychology Today, Mindful, Blue Zones, Thrive Global, and many other leading media outlets. Pilar’s work has also been embraced by the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Fund, and a variety of healthcare organizations.

Join us as we talk to Pilar about her personal wellness journey, the power of standing out from unhealthy social norms, the pitfalls of comparison, and how to take the first steps toward building your own healthy identity.

Pilar discusses the power of awareness, the lessons that we should re-discover from our ancestors, the importance of including those we love in our journeys, how small modifications lead to big breakthroughs in personal health, and the power of community.

We left this conversation ready to become healthy deviants, and break from the ’norm.’
