She has also co authored two research publications with Deepak Chopra on "The Effects of Stress and Meditation on the Immune System, Human Microbiota, and Epigenetics", and "The Effects of Stress and Meditation on the Neuro-Immune System Epigenetics and Human Microbiota."
In this episode, I speak to Ayman about her life and journey to experience and then study the healing powers of Meditation. She tell us about how stress causes inflammation and literal holes in the body (like in the gut) and how meditation can help the body to produce enzyme that turn down the inflammation and heal our bodies.
Ayman is a mindfulness teacher, neuroscience researcher with NYU Langone Medical School and therapist-in-training at NYU. Her work focuses on the mindfulness for children, caregivers and the elderly. Ayman’s publications show the benefits of a regular mindfulness practice on the brain. Her research on the neuroimmunological and gut microbial changes associated with a stress free life are being published by the Advances in Mind-Body Medicine journal. Ayman has worked with pediatric patients with autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, a topic she elaborates on in her book chapter. Her approach towards building mindful families blends mindfulness techniques of the East with parent-child-interaction therapy of the West. Join her on 3/11, this Sunday, for a parent-child mindfulness workshop at the Rubin Museum of Art http://rubinmuseum.org/events/series/mindfulness-for-families

Ruthie Kukoff, an interior designer turned professional organizer, chats with me about her unique approach to organizing. She uses techniques like mindfulness, visualization, and tough love (among others) to help people transform their homes into spaces they love to be in, helping them to process emotions and feel better along the way.
I firmly believe that our environment can effect our wellness and I was very eager to hear the tips she had to offer to creating a clutter free space to help you have a clutter free mind.

This week I sit down with my friend Frank to hear his story of a 3 year sabbatical from his software consulting career. He speaks about knowing that he wanted more in life, but not knowing what that was and his journey to find it. He learns to be present, and listen to his intuition, and how to ask himself the right questions to get better answers. Each stop along his journey brings him a new lesson and he brings it all back to be a happier and healthier person and better consultant.
This week, we speak to Bryan Edmond of Consulting Entourage (a social media marketing company) and founder of the the Sobriety Network.
