Welcome to the Peaceful Power Podcast today I chat with Julie Ward all about fresh food alchemy.

Introduction

Julie and I had a wonderful conversation about food and various ways to incorporate vegetables into your diet. Julie has a practical outlook on how to build a spice cabinet with food as your medicine. How to slow down and enjoy your food for better digestion, and how to make habit shifts when looking at your food choices in a practical way. This episode is perfect for anyone wanting to better their habits around food.

LEarn My Story

I specialize in pre/postpartum wellness through an Ayurvedic lens. Pre/postpartum fitness has been something I've focused on for 17 years now and is my passion & calling in life. 

I host a weekly podcast, Peaceful Power Podcast and have written two cyclical living books- Divine Body Wisdom and Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Your Menstrual Cycle. 

I graduated from Shakti School in 2019 as an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor. I'm a 500 HR Yoga Teacher and Ayurvedic postpartum doula graduate from Inner Sun & Moon AyurDoula Program. 

My other interests are playing tennis, watching the Hallmark Channel, and enjoying my morning cup of coffee. I also love exploring my favorite nature trail with my two boys and hubby.
