October Newsletter
Hey friends!
I hope you’ve had a smooth transition from sunny autumn days to cooler October weather, and have managed to stick to your healthy everyday routines despite shorter days and less daylight. The change of seasons provides an excellent opportunity to not only upgrade part of your wardrobe with new sweaters and scarves but also upgrade some of your healthy habits to ensure you stay energized and productive despite the uncertainty, restrictions, and other pandemic-related “new normal” procedures. Below are some additional resources from team Zilla with love to ensure you stay on track with your healthy habits.

On the podcast front, our season 2 is in full swing, and we have continued conversations with various experts around the topic of holistic health and wellbeing. The recommended episodes for this month will hopefully provide you some food for thought and super practical tips and tools on how to take care of your mind and body and maintain your healthy habits in the middle of the pandemic. Even the current travel restrictions might be a blessing in disguise – we finally have time to work on ourselves and come out stronger than ever!
#3: Wim-Hof Method
Episode #24 with Francesco Gatti digs deep into holistic health and covers also the mental and spiritual side of our wellbeing.
Among other things, this podcast reveals Francesco's experiences with Wim Hof Method – he has met the guy, done the expedition, and shares his key takeaways from regular Wim Hof practice. Tune in!
#4: The big WHY
Episode 25 explores the motivation and mindset behind healthy living and successful lifestyle changes with Jesse Kinnunen who hosts the popular Motivaatiomies -podcast in Finland.
My favorite part of this extra-long episode is the discussion around the big WHY – what drives you forward? Are you acting based on desperation vs inspiration?
