Episode 8 - Does language impact our health?

Episode 8 - Does language impact our health?

Author: Angela Spignese June 3, 2020 Duration: 39:21

In this episode I discuss the mind body language connection. Ever thought about how your language contributes to your overall understanding of your health? I recently read Don't Sleep There are Snakes by Daniel Everett where he studied the language and culture of the Piraha tribe in the Amazonian jungle. His findings started to make me reflect on our use of language and how it impacts our views on health and may reflect what matters most to us. It also led me to think about my time in Moldova teaching health and how some of my topics were hard to break down due to our different perspectives on mental health. 


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.
