Food As Medicine with Dr. Arthur Shattuck – 7-13-13

June 28, 2013

We continue our month of discussing the Body part of the Mind Body Spirit mix.  Some days, all we can manage is just to figure out what we are going to eat in between all the commitments and appointments we are involved in.  But there’s benefit to taking the time to discuss how food can be more than just what we eat between Noon and 1 pm each day.  Food can be fuel to help us keep up our hectic schedule, and it can help keep us from getting sick.

This week we’ll explore the idea of Food As Medicine with Dr. Arthur Shattuck. Dr. Shattuck is well studied in the area of Chinese medicine, but is an excellent guide in how we can use food to help us keep our bodies healthy. In this discussion, he will share his insights, tips and guidance on how you can use teas, herbs and many of the foods you regularly eat, as partners in keeping you in top form and able to manage the pace of your busy life.

Changing a Community’s Relationship to Food with Co-Op Grocery Stores with Alida Harper Trocke and Marcia Buhler – 7-6-13

As we begin our month of talking about the “Body” part of the Mind Body Spirit mix, we’ll be talking about our relationship to the food we eat….how we shop for it, how we learn about it, and how we source it.  And more importantly, why is this important to us?

Co-Op grocery stores are proving to be an important grass roots part of changing the way a community views food.  Our guests will be Marcia Buhler and Alida Harper Trocke who are intimately involved in bringing a co-op grocery store to their community of Racine, Wisconsin.  They will share with us the key reasons why they feel co-op grocery stores can impact the way a community resources their food, and what the process of tackling this endeavor looks like.  If you have every been curious to know how the food gets to your table, and how you might be able to impact your community with that knowledge, you will want to tune in.

Cultivating Compassion with Helen Weng – 6-29-13

June 17, 2013

What role can compassion play in our life and can it be cultivated?  Our guest this week is Helen Weng, a researcher at the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Helen recently published her work looking at people’s compassion levels and how they were influenced by focused meditation.  She gives a fascinating perspective on how compassion can be cultivated.

Helen also shares her thoughts on the role of compassion in every day life….especially as it relates to fitting into a business role where compassion might seem incompatible.

hWengHelen earned her  undergraduate degree at Columbia University in Neuroscience &  Behavior, which sparked her interests in affective neuroscience,  clinical psychology, and Buddhist philosophy. Before graduate school,  she spent a year at the New York State Psychiatric Institute studying  the effect transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on  treatment-resistant depression and schizophrenia. She is currently a  doctoral student in clinical psychology studying with Dr. Richard  Davidson in the Department of Psychology, Waisman Laboratory for Brain  Imaging and Behavior, and Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the  Waisman Center. Helen studies the  impact of compassion meditation on  neural responses to human suffering and altruistic behavior using  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and economic  decision-making methodology.

Chris interviewed Helen at the offices of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
