What if the way we've been taught to chase wellness is part of what keeps us from feeling well? On Wellness Reimagined, host Navya talks with clinical herbalist Bonnie D'Arcangelo about diet, stress, and sustainable habits.
Bonnie shares why restriction backfires, how small consistent steps beat all-or-nothing goals, and why unresolved stress can undo even the healthiest diet.
About the Guest:
Bonnie D'Arcangelo is a clinical herbalist and holistic health consultant based in Michigan. She works with clients managing chronic conditions using herbal medicine, and explores the emotional root causes that often sit underneath physical health issues.
Key Takeaways:
- Consistency beats intensity: a daily 30-minute walk often outperforms occasional hard workouts
- Set small, realistic diet goals instead of banning foods completely
- Keep a simple food journal to build awareness without judging yourself
- Look for the emotional or stress-related root behind a physical health issue
- Pair a calming scent, like lavender, with deep breathing to reset
- Give yourself grace after a setback and simply start again
