Well, hello there and welcome back. My name is Stephanie Safarian and you're listening to

episode 252 of Sustainable Minimalists, a twice-weekly show about intentional and eco-minimalist

living.

If you are like me and you have tried to get healthy,

you have likely followed the prescription of many doctors. To get healthy we need to follow a diet and an exercise

regimen. Well my guest today argues that diet and exercise, while certainly important, they are not the cures to what ails us as human beings.

My guest today is Dr. Vimal George. Dr. George is a doctor of

Spring is nearly here in my neck of the woods and with the change in seasons comes a lot of new questions from my children. Why do flowers bloom? Why are days longer?

Spring is a chance for kids to connect with the world around them and

Kiwico delivers monthly science and art projects that celebrate our

ranging from rainbows to rocket ships and everything in between.
