Health At All Sizes with Malka Katzenstein

Sep 30, 2021

50:23

Malka Katzenstein is a wellness coach. She likes to use the word 'wellness' rather than 'health' because to her that implies overall health- so much more than just physical health. She looks at wellness in a holistic way, taking into account the many facets that make her clients who they are, and helping them use their strengths to reach their goals. Katzenstein's mission is to help clients bridge the gap between what they want to accomplish and getting there. She views coaching as a collaborative process; this means that she learns about her clients from what they tell her and from what she observes. They tell her what they want to accomplish and together they define specific goals. Then they strategize: working as a team to design a plan, using the client's lifestyle, strengths, and vulnerabilities to guide. Disordered eating and emotional eating, as well as body image, are special areas of interest to Katzenstein. With her advanced certification in Emotional Eating Psychology, she believes she can be of great help to some of the many people who struggle with this. As a volunteer on the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) helpline, Katzenstein helps callers find treatment and offer support. She is also certified as a Body Project facilitator; The Body Project is an evidence based program that is designed to help prevent eating disorders and promote healthy body image in teenage girls.

#SameHere: Revolutionizing Mental Health with Eric Kussin

Apr 20, 2023

1:19:49

We’re All A Little “Crazy” is a 501c3 founded by 15-year professional sports executive, Eric Kussin, bringing together Athletes, Celebrities, and Expert Practitioners. After a successful career that started at the NBA League Office, and led to senior management positions with a number of professional sports teams, Eric’s mental health took a sudden and rapid decline. Due to unresolved personal life traumas he failed to appropriately address at a younger age – life experiences he was unaware were affecting his mental health – Eric developed a severe bout of PTSD, along with symptoms of anxiety and depression. This fall came essentially “out of nowhere” and left him almost permanently in bed, and with severe cognitive impairment, for just over two and a half years. Once he found a way to climb out of his abyss, he vowed to spend the rest of his life focused on changing the global conversation through mental health advocacy. It wasn’t until he met practitioners who taught him methods to actually heal his body and central nervous system, that he began to improve and get his life back. He is determined to spread his message: that EVERYONE in the world is affected by life’s inevitable traumas and stresses. We can’t escape them, as they are part of the human experience and they impact us on many levels. Mental health exists on a continuum, with some simply experiencing more severe declines than others over varying periods of time in their lives (and/or being more genetically predisposed to such declines). Because of this, his view is that we should all be open and accepting of those who need help, because we’re one community in this “crazy” world, all fighting our own unique, but often similar, battles. Click here to listen to the first podcast Eric taped about all of the challenges he endured. You will hear about the events which led to forming the vision for this Movement. www.samehereglobal.com Become a JOWMA Member! www.jowma.org Follow us on Instagram! www.instagram.com/JOWMA org Follow us on Twitter! www.twitter.com/JOWMA med Follow us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/JOWMAorg/ Stay up-to-date with JOWMA news!

Alcoholism and Advocacy: Lizzy Savetsky Fights Back

Apr 25, 2024

29:07

Lizzy Savetsky is a leading Jewish influencer and pro-Israel activist. Lizzy started her online journey over a decade ago as a fashion blogger, posting on her blog, Excessories Expert, and Instagram page. Gradually – Lizzy began to share more about her family life, Jewish faith and traditions, and educational content, including “Yiddish Word of the Week” and her daughter’s weekly “Torah Corner.” In 2019, Lizzy changed her handle from ExcessoriesExpert to LizzySavetsky to focus more exclusively on Jewish and Israel content. Lizzy has spoken publicly about her struggles with alcoholism and her challenges with infertility and pregnancy loss. She has worked to destigmatize these topics and helped thousands to feel less alone. In 2021 Lizzy dedicated a Sefer Torah to the IDF in memory of pregnancy loss, following a global campaign to raise $57,000 from thousands of individuals, in the merit of the lives that never came to fruition. Lizzy was a dedicated voice for Israel long before October 7, but in the past few months she has used her platforms to support Israel, interview families of hostages and survivors of the massacre, support Jewish college students, and educate her followers about the increase in antisemitism around the world. Lizzy is the author of “Thou Shalt Be Beautiful: The Forgotten Jewish Ideal,” which was published by Wicked Son in 2023 as part of the book Jewish Priorities: Sixty-Five Proposals for the Future of Our People, along with contributions from prominent Jewish thought leaders. Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, Lizzy lives in New York City with her husband Dr. Ira Savetsky – a renowned plastic surgeon - and their three children.
