Summary
There is a way of being well that no label or bottle can hold, it lives in how you relate to your body, your food, and the world you move through. This is for anyone seeking a wider, more honest definition of wellness. Dr. Will Tuttle shares a life built around wholeness, gratitude, creativity, and compassion, and an invitation to question the assumptions you never chose. About the Guest: Dr. Will Tuttle is the author of The World Peace Diet and a former Zen monk with a PhD from UC Berkeley. A pianist and vegan since 1980, he lectures worldwide with his wife, the artist Madeleine Tuttle. Key Takeaways: Wellness is not only what you do for yourself, it is the quality of attention you bring to everything you touch. A meditative start and close to the day, gratitude, breath, and stillness, can anchor everything in between. Creativity is part of a whole life, music, writing, art, and time in nature are not extras. Food grown and prepared with care becomes a relationship with the living world, not just nutrition. Questioning inherited narratives gently, and for yourself, is where a wider definition of wellness begins.
