“We think were at the pinnacle of evolution but we have the sickest people on the planet, we have the highest suicide rates and people are medicated to keep themselves alive for emotional issues or physical issues and we think this is advanced civilisation.”
Today’s discussion is about Black Lives Matter and the interconnectivity of nutrition, health, COVID-19, wellness, pain and discomfort. Sarinda takes us through the journey of her life and how she became an Integrative Wellness Practitioner, which, as it quite often does, starts with illness and society's demands of being a certain weight. Sarinda naturally started to seek out healers and health food wherever she went and started to learn and heal. Later she had kids and realized how disconnected women are to childbirth. She laid the groundwork early when it came to her kids' microbiome and they are a healthy family. Nicolette and Sarinda also discuss COVID-19 and how the media or government haven’t been talking about wellness, but are instead just trying to treat the problem, as so often happens with disease and illness. Will lockdown affect more people than the virus will? Having both grown up mixed race, Sarinda from Jamaica and Nicolette from Malawi they talk about what it was like growing up, and how we move forward into a future where we are one race.
