Episode 19 - Chronic UTIs, Panic Attacks and Finding Ayurveda

Author: Angela Spignese March 2, 2021 Duration: 1:13:35
In today's episode we interview the lovely Giovana Malufe. She shares how her chronic gut issues led to other imbalances and walks us through each step of her journey. Her love and dedication to yoga in addition to exploring various lifestyles reveal that healing happens over time and not exactly when we want it to. She eventually discovered Ayurveda and this is when things really started to change. She was able to start nourishing her body and after not having her period for almost 5 years it returned.  She is a certified health coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and is currently studying to become an Ayurvedic Health Counselor with the Boston Ayurveda School. Originally from Brazil, she also has a passion for travel and for teaching others that even 5-10 minutes of self-care a day will make a difference in your body and mind.

Angela Spignese hosts Salsa Sol Food, a space where health conversations feel more like a chat with a good friend than a clinical lecture. Born from her own long journey navigating puzzling chronic symptoms, this podcast explores the interconnected layers of well-being-what she calls the Salsa Sol Food approach. Here, healing isn't about a single miracle cure but the vibrant mix of moving your body, practicing genuine self-care, and choosing foods with intention. Each episode blends Angela's personal stories with practical insights, all delivered with a refreshing dose of humor and lightness. You'll find that laughter is considered just as essential as any supplement. Whether discussing alternative fitness ideas, mindful eating beyond trends, or the mental shifts needed for sustainable health, the tone remains grounded and relatable. This isn't about perfection; it's about finding your own rhythm in the chaos. Tune in for a podcast that reminds you that caring for your body and mind can be both a serious commitment and a genuinely joyful exploration.
