How To Let Go Of Suffering And Embrace What Is with Yung Pueblo

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox,
InsideTracker, BiOptimizers. I bet most of us can relate to having
negative thoughts on repeat, whether we’ve actually stopped to
think about it or not. Our minds have been conditioned and can get
stuck on auto-pilot, making us feel helpless, unhappy, and lost.
But just like every other aspect of well-being, we need to exercise
our mental patterns to show them positive patterns and avenues for
growth and change. My guest on today’s episode of The Doctor’s
Farmacy, Yung Pueblo, is a grounded and inspiring guide for how to
spend more time with your thoughts and create new patterns. Diego
Perez is a meditator and New York Times bestselling author who is
widely known on Instagram and various social media networks through
his pen name Yung Pueblo. Online he has an audience of nearly 3
million people. His writing focuses on the power of self-healing,
creating healthy relationships, and the wisdom that comes when we
truly work on knowing ourselves. His books include Inward, Clarity
& Connection, and his most recent, Lighter, which was an
instant New York Times bestseller. This episode is brought to you
