Wellness is everywhere right now. It’s attached to skincare, recovery, sleep, stress management, supplements, smoothies, movement, mindfulness, and honestly just about every corner of modern life. But on this year’s annual wellness edition of Foodie & The Beast with David and Nycci Nellis, the conversation went beyond buzzwords and focused on what wellness actually looks like while living and working in a high-energy city like DC.This episode explored wellness through a truly holistic lens: how we take care of our bodies, our skin, our nervous systems, and our overall well-being while balancing busy schedules and constant stimulation.Joining the show was Regina McLinden, founder of RM Balance in Georgetown, who shared insights on customized massage therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, recovery, yoga, pilates, and creating intentional spaces that help people slow down and reconnect with themselves.Tanya Saunders, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, nervous system educator, and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, walked listeners through the impact chronic stress has on the body and mind, while also guiding an on-air breathwork exercise designed to help regulate the nervous system and improve emotional well-being.The conversation also turned to skincare and technology with Dr. Arleen Lamba, founder and CEO of GLO30, who discussed AI-personalized treatments, smarter skincare routines, and how innovation is changing the way people approach healthy skin and aging.Eva Cranford from Equinox Wisconsin Avenue joined the show to discuss women’s wellness through Equinox’s ARC program, which combines personal training, nutrition coaching, recovery, and regeneration programming focused on total health.And because this is still Foodie & The Beast, there was plenty to sip and sample in studio. Greg Rozeboom, founder of Fruitive, shared fresh organic plant-based wellness-forward beverages while discussing the role food plays in everyday health and energy.From breathwork and recovery to skincare, movement, and nutrition, this year’s wellness show was all about finding practical ways to feel a little better physically, mentally, and emotionally. Less martinis, more mindfulness, though honestly, there’s room for both. Tune in here.
