Ep. 50 The Effects of Mindfulness and How to Heal Yourself ft. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams

Eric Adams is not your ordinary politician. Born and breed in Queens, NY, as a teenager he suffered a brutal beating by police that changed the trajectory of his life forever. Believing he could change things from the inside, Eric served as an officer and Captain in the NY transit and NYPD for 22 years. Then went on to become a democratic state senator and since 2013 serving as the first black Brooklyn Borough president. While holding office he has been creating programs to help his community understand health and wellness not only from a practical stance but a holistic one. Implementing meditation in schools, Meatless Mondays initiatives, and opening discussions that help his communities to look introspectively about ways to improve their mental state and wellness, a rather non-traditional route to political leadership. In addition to that, he’s enacted a massive change by going completely plant-based and healed himself by reversing his diabetes entirely. He has become an advocate for plant-based eating and a pivotal voice of encouragement that you can in fact heal yourself. Please welcome Eric to the show.
