Third Eye Roll with Dr. Lemos

Send us a textWe had some technical problems with this episode but it is up and running now! In this richly oiled and myth-soaked episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and guest Emily McConnell stir the pot (literally) on Ayurveda's most infamous process—Panchakarma. Forget juice cleanses and detox fads; Panchakarma is more like spiritual surgery, where enemas, oil baths, and nasal therapies become ritual acts of purification.We dive into the five traditional actions, with a special focus on Basti (medicated enemas) and Nasya (nasal oil therapy)—their history, their very real emotional effects, and why they're often misunderstood. Expect side-eye at colonics, love notes to sesame oil, and some straight talk about Monster energy drinks and colon health.And because this is Third Eye Roll, we weave in the myth of Samudra Manthan, the cosmic churning of the ocean that first produced poison before yielding nectar. Shiva and Parvati's wisdom on transmuting toxins becomes a mirror for how Panchakarma transforms body, mind, and soul. Along the way, you'll get unexpected fashion tips (oil-soaked loincloths, anyone?), movie picks (think Alien as a metaphor for cleansing), and the soundtrack of Gregorian chants meets Krishna das.This isn't detox—it's death, rebirth, and nectar.Support the show

Send us a textSeason 2 kicks off with Justine and Scarlett decoding the ancient concept of Sangha—your chosen spiritual fam—and asking the big questions: How is it different from a cult? Can a podcast community count as one? And why does chanting together hit harder than scrolling Instagram? We break down the hormonal science of group practice, wander from Buddhist forests to underground raves, and drop a myth from the Bhagavata Purana about sages gathering in the forest to listen. Along the way, we roast fake wellness fads, unpack the science of sound, and take a few side trips into The Matrix, Sister Sledge, and Catholic church acoustics. Whether you're in it for the cosmic science, the cult-free community vibes, or the fashion tips for planetary dressing, welcome to the Third Eye Roll Sangha.Ask ChatGPTSupport the show
