Episode Summary
🌍 Introduction & Background: Esther George is a Ghanaian food sustainability advocate, consumer educator, and herbalist. She is passionate about the intersection of agriculture, food, and climate resilience. She specializes in herbs and spices, with a personal favorite being ginger, due to its health benefits (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, supports menstrual health, and reduces need for excess pepper due to its natural heat).
💪 Health Journey & Becoming Vegan: Her wellness journey began as a response to chronic health issues (weakness, palpitations, poor concentration, symptoms of anemia). Doctors claimed nothing was wrong, but Esther trusted her body's signals and sought alternative healing. This led her to adopt a plant-based diet three years ago and eventually become a vegan.
🍲 Programs & Workshops: she offers culinary training, including how to cook natural meals and how to prepare traditional Ghanaian dishes. She teaches herbal preparation for health purposes (e.g., cancer support, neuropathy, skin and hair oils).
☕ Self-Care & Rejuvenation: she very much prioritizes listening to her body: rests when needed, unplugs from devices, follows a set schedule.
💡 Key Takeaways Food is medicine. Listen to your body—it communicates what it needs. Healing and lifestyle change are gradual, individualized, and require balance.
