Brain health. Longevity. The inner life. Seva: Science + Soul is where clinical authority meets genuine warmth and where the science of living well meets the soul behind it all.What if the science of living longer and the art of living well were never actually separate?That question is at the heart of everything Angel does and the soul of this podcast.Seva: Science + Soul is hosted by Angel V. Shannon, MS, AGPCNP-BC — Board Certified Nurse Practitioner, lifestyle medicine clinician, speaker, author, and Blue Zone retreat host with over 30 years of clinical experience including Johns Hopkins Hospital and the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.Each episode sits at the intersection of the clinical and the deeply human. Some episodes go deep into the neuroscience — the gut-brain axis, glymphatic insufficiency, HPA axis dysregulation, the biology of burnout, the lab tests most doctors never order. Others go somewhere quieter — into the inner life, the practice of radical self-compassion, the rituals that restore us, the wisdom of the world's longest-lived communities, the small and sacred choices that add up to a life that is longer, sharper, and more deeply lived.What you'll find here:Brain health and cognitive longevity — what the research actually says and what to do about itThe gut-brain connection — how your microbiome shapes your mood, your memory, and your morningsLifestyle medicine — food, movement, sleep, stress, connection, and purpose as clinical toolsBlue Zone wisdom — what the world's longest-lived people know that the rest of us have forgottenThe inner life — mindset, self-compassion, ritual, and the soulwork that underpins every other pillarConversations with fascinating people doing extraordinary work at the intersection of science and soulThis podcast is the audio companion to Seva Living where longevity meets lifestyle and science meets soul.
