Ever feel like your workplace is draining your focus, mood, and energy?Dr. Patrick Porter sits down with Reverend Jodi to explore a practical, education-first approach to workplace wellness: starting with brain breaks, healthier environments, and simple daily resets that support performance and resilience.Rev. Jodi Suson is an ordained minister and brain health–focused wellness educator who transitioned from a 35-year career in marketing and finance into holistic health after years of misdiagnosis and disability led her to study how food, water, and environment affect brain and emotional wellbeing. She is the author of Emotional Healing, Toxic Free Living, and now teaches mindset and lifestyle-based approaches to support brain, emotional, spiritual, and physical balance, drawing on her training in NLP, nutrition, essential oils, and frequency-based modalities.In this show, Dr. Porter and Rev. Suson discuss how “brain breaks” can replace the mid-afternoon coffee run, why workplace culture and environment matter (air, water, stress patterns), and how wellness rooms can encourage employees to take 20 minutes to decompress and recharge, without making medical promises.Question for you: If your workplace had a wellness room, would you use it?
