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.
