MH19-42 “Turning Poison into Medicine” with Ala Villanueva.

October 13, 2019November 20, 2022Sara Troy

Self- Help/ Women’s Studies/ Memoir /Empowerment / Martial & Martial Arts on Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Ala Villanueva, on-air from October 15th

“Turning Poison into Medicine” – We all play roles in our lives. Some are joyous, others, burn our souls to dust. When external circumstances verge on torturous, we often lose all hope and are often forced to go inward to develop new perspectives to avoid the alternative, suicide. Writing became an outlet during one of the most turbulent times in my life and it created the therapy, clarity, and resolution I needed to emerge out of the burning forest with some skin. By utilizing Taoist detachment, losing my history and being brutally honest with myself I created a series of daily exercises that not only maintained my sanity but systemically rebuilt the personal power that had been obliterated over years of abuse.

Born and raised in New York City I was fiercely independent and totally immersed in the world of classical ballet. The arts saved me as I was institutionalized as a youth. After accomplishing my BFA, I was a globe-trotting dancer, choreographer, director and teacher living “La Vida Loca”. I became pregnant, moved to Miami and founded a non-profit arts and cultural agency which thrived for twenty years as well as nurturing thousands in the realms of the traditional Chinese arts and Buddhist dogma. This self-absorbed artist became the mother to many giving myself away until there was nothing left for me. This new persona as an author has allowed me to reclaim myself and use all the years of wisdom gained for the sake of others for my own growth and self-love. Now, as is my nature, I return the lessons to all those ready, willing and able to confront and breakthrough their egos to finally “be” what they originally were before all the conditioned fear and false living set in.

19-40 Know Your Political Parties and Decide for yourself…

September 30, 2019April 16, 2020Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Politics politics, normally I stay away from it, but I am in the UK and every hour every show is on Brexit, to leave or stay in the EU. It is causing such a divide and so much mudslinging, that a party NO one wants in is worming the way in because everyone else is concentrating on hanging Borris Johnson even at the cost of their own country, it is mindblowing.

Every day we see more and more ridiculous news on our global politicians, thigh gate, Borris apparently touch a womans thigh 20 years ago but it has taken 20 years for her to come forward to complain, just at the time the opposition are gunning for Borris to be out because they want to stop Brexit. How low can they keep on going?

Hong Kong and China at odds with each other over human rights, but looking at China’s army will they ever get those rights? Russia is worming their way in America politics and taking over other countries, are we are the brink of another war? and if we are which candidate would be the best to face these troubled times with a clear head?

Then in Canada my home, you have the blackface Trudeau being slandered on every media to shame him out of office, I will not be swayed by mudslingers, the more you mudsling the more I stand my ground and will not be swayed by such behaviour. Look at what each candidate is doing or wants to do to serve your country and ask your self, does it serve the whole or only a few? Then decide if in the long term everyone benefits.

Of cause, you have the USA, for the last 3 years, it has been entirely about Trump, this Tweet, that Tweet, firing people left right and centre and lying over and over again. Now we are looking at Impeachment and an upcoming election next year and with so many democrats, how does one decide?

Outcomes the mudslinging, the putdowns, the destroy attitude at any cost including their integrity, it does not build confidence in the people just hysteria.

Trump as a president has been a joke scary one at that, he has been found to be a criminal and lowlife that has the world all shook up not knowing what he will do next because of his instability. We need someone with integrity, gumption and common sense in the White House to make America great again WHO WILL UNIT NOT ONLY THEIR COUNTRY BUT THE WORLD.

So get out and vote, but first read, listen, ask questions and deduce who will be the better person in power that will truly serve your country.

Turmeric vs. Curcumin

September 30, 2019July 21, 2020Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

What is Turmeric?

What is turmeric? Turmeric is the main spice in curry, a well-known Indian dish. The fine yellow powder (turmeric root powder) derives from the ground roots of the Curcuma longa plant. Curcuma longa’s presence in Southeast Asia led to the widespread use of turmeric.

The historical practices of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine have significant validity. These timeless principles used natural herbs and spices as remedies for common ailments. Our ancestors were ahead of the curve when they studied the medicinal uses of turmeric.

Turmeric curcumin benefits the body in a number of ways and appears in several different products. You’ve likely seen turmeric in a variety of items and products including:

Turmeric tea
Turmeric milk
Turmeric lattes
Turmeric smoothies
Soaps and scrubs
Essential oils
CBD oil products
Accent colors and paints
Weight loss and fat burners
Turmeric masks and skincare products
And various other turmeric recipes

Due to the wide variety of uses, the turmeric market has been absolutely booming of late.

Turmeric vs. Curcumin

What is the difference between turmeric and curcumin? It’s important to understand that these are not interchangeable terms. There is a distinct difference in curcumin vs. turmeric supplements.

Turmeric contains several chemical compounds which we refer to as “curcuminoids.” The active curcuminoid in turmeric responsible for its therapeutic properties is curcumin. The standard curcumin content of turmeric is only about 3-6%. When buying a turmeric supplement, make sure it contains 95% curcuminoids and follow the recommended turmeric dosage.
