This week, Tee is joined by Barbara Ann Briggs, an author, certified consciousness advisor, spiritual teacher, and longtime practitioner of Ayurveda and Transcendental Meditation. Barbara has dedicated her life to studying and sharing ancient Ayurvedic wisdom that helps individuals cultivate greater health, balance, and longevity. Through her work, she teaches practical ways to strengthen immunity, reduce the impact of modern environmental stressors, and reconnect with the body's innate intelligence. Barbara shares her personal journey into Transcendental Meditation and Ayurveda, explaining how both practices transformed her understanding of health and wellness. She discusses Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's revival of Ayurveda and how this ancient system approaches health through the interconnected relationship between consciousness, mind, body, behavior, and environment. Barbara explains why strengthening the body's natural defenses is often more effective than focusing solely on avoiding toxins, and how daily habits can support resilience in an increasingly polluted world. In this chat, Tee and Barbara explore the growing concerns surrounding chemical exposure, environmental toxins, multiple chemical sensitivities, and chronic stress. They discuss why digestion is considered the foundation of health in Ayurveda, how the body's ability to process food and sensory experiences affects overall well-being, and why individual constitutional types influence dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Barbara also shares insights into Panchakarma cleansing therapies, the importance of seasonal routines, and how meditation can help reduce anxiety, improve emotional balance, and support the body's natural healing processes. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes the powerful connection between happiness, consciousness, and physical health.

**Ayurveda im Marketing: Dein Business aus deiner Urnatur heraus** Jeden Tag posten, ständig auf Sendung sein, eine Strategie abarbeiten, die für alle funktionieren soll – nur für dich nicht. Was, wenn dein Marketing nicht gegen deine Natur arbeiten müsste, sondern aus ihr heraus? Genau hier kommt das Ayurveda ins Spiel: Wir sind alle grundverschieden – und deine Marketingstrategie darf das endlich berücksichtigen. In dieser Folge war ich selbst zu Gast bei Lea Le Mang im Podcast „Make Yoga your Lifestyle". Wir sprechen darüber, wie du als Selbstständige ein Business aus deiner Urnatur heraus aufbaust – und warum deine Strategie zu dir passen muss, nicht umgekehrt. **Das nimmst du mit:** - Warum keine Strategie für alle passt – und was das Ayurveda darüber verrät, was für dich wirklich funktioniert - Wie du die Kanäle findest, die zu deiner Energie passen – und welche dich nur auslaugen - Die drei Säulen, die jedes Marketing trägt: Reichweite, Beziehung, Einladung - Wie du Kund:innen anziehst, die wirklich zu dir passen – auch wenn das heißt, andere nicht anzusprechen - Warum dein Business mit dir mitwachsen darf **Mehr zu Lea Le Mang & dem Dharma Haus:** Lea begleitet Frauen dabei, Yoga als innere Haltung zu leben. Gerade entsteht ihr neues Projekt, das Dharma Haus – ein Online-Raum für vedische Weisheit, direkt von authentischen, indischen Lehrer:innen, die dieses Wissen leben. **Lea Le Mang**

Send us Fan MailToday I'm sitting down with Charlie Baldwin — a breathwork and meditation teacher with the Art of Living Foundation, over 1,000 hours of teaching experience, and a real gift for bringing these practices to people who never thought they'd be interested. He's taught in prisons, firehouses, universities, and retreat centers in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and he has a way of making ancient wisdom feel completely relevant to modern life. I really loved this conversation.Charlie's path began with a book his mom left in his dorm room — Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth — and a breathwork retreat he almost didn't go to when he was considering dropping out of college. Within six weeks of beginning a daily practice, everything shifted: more energy, more confidence, and the overwhelming things in life became manageable. Nine years of teaching later, he is one of the most thoughtful and non-dogmatic voices in this space.What we cover:Charlie's personal origin story — how a book his mom left in his dorm room and a retreat he nearly skipped changed the entire direction of his lifeBreathwork in law enforcement — how Charlie and a fellow Art of Living teacher began offering programs to community leaders in North Carolina, how the police chief had a profound experience, and why this demographic has become so receptive to these practices right nowSky Breath Meditation (Sudarshan Kriya) — the rhythmic breathing practice Charlie has taught for nine years, featured in James Nestor's book Breath, and what makes it different from other breathwork approachesTechnology, overstimulation & Vata imbalance — a rich conversation about how the optimization of social media for endless scrolling has created widespread nervous system dysregulation, and why breathwork is one of the most powerful resets available to usApps vs. in-person learning — where technology genuinely helps people enter a practice, and why certain teachings carry an energetic transmission that cannot be fully replicated by an appWhy wellness habits don't stick — the two things Charlie has seen make the biggest difference: community and the willingness to have faith before proof arrivesThe breath-emotion connection — the simple but profound insight that every emotion has a corresponding rhythm of breath, and that this street runs both ways: we can use the breath to shift our emotional state, not just the other way aroundThe straw breath — Charlie leads us through a beautiful, portable breathwork practice specifically designed for anxiety and overwhelm.

How do you heal when "healthy living" isn't working? In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, host Sarah Dawkins sits down with Natalie Elghossain, an Ayurvedic health practitioner and founder of Ayurvedic Wellness.Natalie shares her raw and relatable journey of hitting "rock bottom" at age 30. Despite her background as an athlete and an MBA graduate, she found herself trapped in a cycle of chronic anxiety, digestive issues, yeast infections and a "dark night of the soul" while working in high-pressure corporate consulting.Key Information and Time Stamps01:51 Natalie discusses how chronic anxiety and digestive issues surfaced despite an "athletic" and "healthy" lifestyle. Ideal for those seeking holistic burnout recovery.05:04 A deep dive into how gas, bloating, and stomach pain are biologically linked to worry, fear, and paranoia, showing how physical symptoms mirror mental states.12:42 Natalie explains why treating only emotions or only the body felt "incomplete," and why a truly holistic system is required for transformational healing.19:32 An explanation of Agni (Digestive Fire). Learn why you can eat "perfectly" but still feel malnourished if your body isn't metabolizing nutrients at a cellular level.24:12 Natalie debunks the myth that raw salads are always healthy, explaining why warm, cooked foods are essential for grounding an anxious mind.26:26 A surprising link between excessive sleep (over 7 hours), the Kapha (water) element and the physical manifestation of chronic yeast infections. 27:54 A breakthrough look at mental health: Anxiety (Vata/Air) vs. Depression (Kapha/Earth) and how balancing elements can eliminate these "diagnoses."33:44 Natalie shares the core Ayurvedic strategy: assessing your out-of-balance state and using "opposite" elements (e.g., cooling for fire, warming for air) to heal.Natalie's story is a testament to the fact that symptoms are not enemies, they are invitations to return to your true nature. If you are feeling "scattered," "heavy," or "burnt out," this conversation offers a 5,000-year-old roadmap to feeling grounded and energized again.Natalie's Bio Natalie Elghossain is an Ayurvedic Health Practitioner, Speaker, and Founder of Ayurveda Wellness based outside Boulder, Colorado and serving clients globally.

Sajah Popham from The School of Evolutionary Herbalism explains why herbal remedies sometimes fail. The issue is rarely the herbs themselves.

Through the lens of vitalist herbalism, Sajah breaks down what you need to do to refocus your intake sessions, so you can nail the remedy for your client every time. Here's what you'll learn: Why choosing the wrong herb can worsen symptoms Why "good for" herbal thinking often leads to poor remedy selection How temperature, moisture, and tone influence pathology The five key observations used to assess tissue states How to use the OPQRST intake method in clinical herbalism Why symptom quality matters more than disease labels How aggravation and palliation reveal energetic patterns The role of constitution versus current imbalance How weather, seasons, and environment affect tissue states Why tongue diagnosis is one of the most valuable assessment tools in herbal medicine How to think about energetics in a practical, grounded, clinical way The waitlist for the FREE Vitalist Herbalism Mini-course is OPEN NOW, sign up now to get the FREE workshop when it opens on June 15, 2026. ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at: http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/ Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/ Shop our herbal products: https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/ ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

Why are young Indians dying of cardiac arrest? Why are fit, healthy people in their 30s and 40s suddenly collapsing at the gym, at weddings, on stage, in their sleep — with no warning?In this episode of xMonks Drive, host Gaurav Arora sits down with Dr. Avinash Verma, Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology and Pacing at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi, for one of the most important conversations about heart health in India.Dr. Avinash Verma is one of India's leading cardiac electrophysiologists with over 15 years of experience, 2,400+ device implantations, and 1,300+ radiofrequency ablations. He is the only doctor in North India trained in laser-assisted lead extraction. In this episode, he explains why Indians get heart disease 10 years earlier than Western populations, what the difference is between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest, and why India's out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rate is just 2-3% compared to 50-60% in the world's best out-of-hospital cardiac arrest programs.Dr. Verma shares real patient stories including a 36-year-old woman who passed away from sudden cardiac death after refusing a life-saving device, a cardiology colleague who collapsed outside his own home just 1 kilometre from the hospital and could not be revived, and a 19-year-old whose brother had passed away at 17 from a genetic heart condition — who is now thriving after treatment. He also discusses the cases of Sidharth Shukla, Shefali Jariwala, KK, and Prateek Yadav, and explains what actually happens during these sudden cardiac events.Topics covered in this episode include sudden cardiac death in young Indians, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, inherited heart conditions, genetic screening for heart disease, cardiac arrest vs heart attack, how CPR works and why it must be taught in Indian schools, pacemakers and ICDs, the danger of steroids and unregulated gym supplements, why vaping is illegal in India and what it does to the heart, why sugar may be as harmful as smoking, the link between sleep deprivation and heart disease, chronic stress and the heart's electrical system, sedentary lifestyle and cardiac risk, binge drinking and arrhythmia, the role of COVID and vaccines in myocarditis, the truth about pharma conspiracy theories, Ayurveda and evidence-based medicine, whether smartwatch ECG data is medically reliable, the genetic risk of same-community marriage, organ donation and heart transplant in India, and why selling miracle cures is illegal in India.If you or someone you love has a family history of cardiac arrest, heart disease, or sudden unexplained loss — this episode could save a life. Dr. Verma explains exactly what tests to get, what warning signs to watch for, and what to do if someone collapses near you.

Dr. Shivani Gupta returns to the podcast to share what she has learned since writing her new Hay House book, The Inflammation Code. In this conversation we explore why inflammation is rising so dramatically in modern life and how that plays into fertility, hormone balance, and overall vitality. Dr. Shivani breaks down the three doshas in Ayurveda, which she calls Elemental Design, and explains how understanding your own makeup of air, fire, and earth can help you choose the foods, rhythms, and rituals that actually nourish your body. We also talk about Mental Inflammation, circadian living, the healing power of nature, and why modern life keeps so many women stuck in survival mode. Dr. Shivani shares the science behind turmeric, why absorption matters, and when to use it and when to pause it during IVF and transfer windows. This is a grounded, practical conversation about returning to ancient wisdom in a way that feels doable in real life. Key Takeaways: Inflammation is rising because of environmental toxins, processed foods, chronic stress, and constant mental stimulation. The body is living in survival mode rather than thriving. Ayurveda teaches that each of us has a unique Elemental Design made of air, fire, and earth. Knowing your primary and secondary doshas helps you choose foods, rhythms, and rituals that bring you back into balance. Mental Inflammation is a real physiological state created by constant phone use, email, and sympathetic activation. It feeds physical inflammation, and physical inflammation feeds it back. Living in rhythm with nature's circadian clock is one of the most powerful and free tools we have. Walking outside, eating seasonally, and sleeping from 10 to 2 supports lymphatic clearance and reduces inflammation. Preparing the body for conception through gentle detoxification, nourishment, and tissue health is the same work that supports vibrancy through perimenopause. A vibrant body is a fertile body. Turmeric is one of the most powerful natural anti-inflammatories we have, but absorption matters. Black pepper and healthy fats increase bioavailability significantly. Turmeric can support fertility conditions linked to inflammation such as endometriosis, PCOS, and recurrent implantation challenges, but it should be paused during IVF cycles and transfer windows because it thins the blood and can thin the uterine lining. Supplementation should be phased with the guidance of a practitioner. Every season of the body calls for a different protocol. About the guest: Dr. Shivani Gupta is an Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and speaker who blends classical Ayurveda with functional medicine to help women calm inflammation, balance hormones, and restore energy. With a Master's in Ayurvedic Sciences and a PhD focused on turmeric, she translates ancient wisdom into simple daily rituals, including Elemental Design personalization, Mental Inflammation resets, gut and estrobolome support, and spice-based micro-habits. Her new book, The Inflammation Code (Hay House, February 2026), is a practical, non-diet system for cooling chronic inflammation to improve brain fog, bloat, pain, sleep, and mood. Dr. Shivani is the host of the Fusionary Health Podcast and creator of the Emmy-nominated TV show Vibrant Health with Dr. Shivani Gupta. Learn more at shivanigupta.com.

I got tendonitis in my elbow from wood chopping.I tried to heal it with ice, frequencies (Rife generator), stretching, and massage. But I could not heal it, and it became chronic within a year. Whenever I strained my arm, it started again.Now, I have healed it.MassageMassage the entire arm with this castor oil blend:- 60–70% castor oil- 20–30% DMSO- 10% black seed oil or clove oilDo this 3 to 5 times per day. Focus on the area of pain or the problem while you massage, but be gentle.StretchingAlways stretch your arm when you have pain. Stretch the arm with the help of your other arm. Bend your hand 90 degrees upward and stretch your straight arm, then bend your hand 90 degrees downward and stretch your straight arm again.Pain is gone.Now comes the magic!!!Take 1 teaspoon of moringa powder with your food, 3 to 5 times per day. Moringa powder heals bone and joint inflammation and is used for that in Ayurveda.Take 2 black seed oil capsules per day—best is 1000mg from Now. Never ever trust unbranded or unknown herb capsules. I only take herbs from Now or Double Swords.- The first capsule you take on an empty stomach in the morning, and you don't eat anything for 30 minutes.- The second capsule you take at night, 2 hours after your dinner, and you don't eat anything afterward. You can drink moringa with water, black ginger, lemon, and honey.Black ginger is also very good. It heals inflammation and is also an aphrodisiac, but it is hard to get. It tastes and smells like bitter medicine, yet it feels so good in the stomach. Just 1–2 grams of black ginger with lemon and honey. It heals inflammation and has been used for centuries in Thai and Chinese medicine.Have patience—it takes time to heal. But you will feel the difference in days.Always consult a doctor and check your tendinitis.My Video: How I Healed My Tendonitis? https://youtu.be/Slc93-IxNrAMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-I-Healed-My-Tendonitis.mp3
Today's guest dropped an unbelievable amount of wisdom in the span of just one podcast episode. She and I both align on so many topics as you will discover in our conversation. We both believe that women have the power to intuit what is best for them and their bodies. Women, especially midlife women, have been taught for far too long that their suffering is "just a part of aging." The system has also taught us that when we have symptoms, we should reach for a drug to fix it (and often holistic medicine is thought of as an alternative herb or supplement). My guest asserts that when symptoms arrive for women in midlife and perimenopause, it is often a wake up call to how we are living our lives, particularly the accumulation of not so nourishing choices in the last couple of decades. Hormones shift, revealing what has already been happening. Women can then heed the call to pay attention to foundational living (how they are eating, sleeping, managing energy, stress, etc) and prevent further disease down the road. The common approach to manage symptoms with herbs and/or HRT are only addressing the tip of the iceberg and are not going to get at the root cause of symptoms. Perimenopause and menopause does not have to be a negative life sentence to the rest of your life, rather it can be seen as an initiation and invitation to finally start prioritizing yourself. Maria Gabriela is a certified Ayurveda Health Counselor, a doctor of pharmacy (Pharm.D.), a 200 hour certified yoga teacher, and founder of Intuitive Ayurveda. She helps people in perimenopause and menopause feel better in their bodies using Ayurveda, science-backed tools, and intuitive coaching — so they can celebrate this phase of life instead of dreading it. The eastern and western perspectives of medicine each have something to offer us, and Maria Gabriela understands this dance. Her goal is to educate on Ayurvedic tools that can (and should) be individualized to each complex person. She strives to help her clients tune into the messages their bodies are sending them. Ultimately, she believes every person is the expert on what is best for them, and can be empowered to hone in on which tools they need to support themselves in mind, body, and spirit.

On this vintage episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces two new formulas from Vitality Nutrition: Liquid Yoga and Mind Fuel. Both blends are centered on lion's mane mushroom and shilajit, combined with carefully chosen herbs and mushrooms designed to either sharpen focus or encourage calm. Jared explains why he chose spagyric extraction—an ancient process that preserves the complete profile of plant compounds and minerals—and how this method enhances absorption and balance. You'll hear about the traditions of lion's mane in Chinese medicine, the role of shilajit in Ayurveda, and the unique contributions of additional ingredients like cordyceps, suma, gotu kola, reishi, ashwagandha, tulsi, and lemon balm. Whether the goal is mental clarity, natural energy, or emotional resilience, these formulas highlight the powerful synergy between mushrooms, herbs, and minerals, bridging time-honored wisdom with modern innovation.Products:Mind Fuel - Mushroom & Herb TinctureLiquid Yoga - Mushroom & Herb TinctureVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Could your skin be reflecting what's happening in your digestive system? Colette explores the Ayurvedic understanding of the gut-skin connection and why true radiance begins from within with Vaidya Kamya Pillai. While modern research continues to uncover the relationship between the microbiome, inflammation, and skin health, Ayurveda has long taught that healthy digestion, balanced doshas, and proper nourishment are essential for clear, vibrant skin. You'll learn how Agni (digestive fire), Ama (toxic accumulation), Rasa Dhatu (the body's primary nourishing tissue) and Ojas (our vital essence), influence skin health and overall vitality. They also discuss how stress, emotions, and nervous system dysregulation can impact both digestion and complexion, and why Ayurveda views beauty as a reflection of internal balance rather than external appearance alone. In this episode you'll discover: The Ayurvedic gut-skin connection The role of Rasa Dhatu in hydration, nourishment, and radiance How Agni and Ama affect skin health The connection between the doshas, stress, and the nervous system in skin health How Vata, Pitta, and Kapha imbalances manifest in the skin Ojas and it's connection to radiant skin Ayurvedic practices to support healthy digestion and glowing skin Why true beauty begins with inner balance Whether you're dealing with acne, sensitivity, inflammation, dryness, premature aging, or simply want to cultivate a healthy natural glow, this episode offers practical Ayurvedic wisdom to support skin health from the inside out.

Send us Fan Mail"Can't we just lie down in our power? Do we have to step into it?"That question, offered by Ayurvedic teacher Claudia Welch, sparked everything in this episode. Because when we talk about stepping into our power, we are implying that power is somewhere outside of us — something to reach for, to put on, to earn. But what if that image is wrong?What if our power is not something we need to step into, but something we need to remember? What if it has been there all along — beneath the people-pleasing, the masking, the overriding of our bodies, the making ourselves smaller to fit into a world that was not built for us?In this solo episode I explore:The difference between stepping into power and remembering power — and why that distinction matters deeply, especially in midlifeThe Ayurvedic framework of langhana and brahmana — why we live in a profoundly langhana (outputting, reducing, forward-moving) world, and what we lose when brahmana (nourishing, building, gathering inward) is treated as optionalThe feminine archetypes of power — Durga, Athena, the Maori women — fierce and powerful, but different in nature from the masculineThe layers we are peeling away: people-pleasing, masking, performing wellness, overriding the body's signals, making ourselves smallerThe two hormonal clocks — how testosterone operates on a 24-hour circadian rhythm that the entire modern world was built around, while estrogen and progesterone operate on a 28-day infradian rhythm with four distinct phases, each asking something different from the body and brainWhy researchers excluded women from clinical trials because their monthly hormonal variability was too complicated — and how that shaped an entire model of medicine and productivity that was never designed for a female bodyThe four phases of the feminine cycle and what each one genuinely requires — including why rest must come before output in certain phases, not as a reward for productivity but as a biological prerequisitePerimenopause as initiation — why so many women hit burnout and hormonal transition at the same moment, why the symptoms are not a sign of failure, and why this season is actually an invitation into a deeper relationship with your own powerWhy midlife, when estrogen begins to drop, can bring its own kind of liberation — as certain veils begin to fall away on their ownThe community piece — why coming together with other women and speaking these truths out loud is itself part of reclaiming feminine powerWhy you don't need to figure out how to change the system — and what your one small step is this weekThis episode is for every woman who has ever felt like she couldn't keep up, and wondered what was wrong with her. Nothing is wrong with you.

In this episode, I'm joined by Serena Arora, international bestselling author of Unbound: An Immigrant Daughter's Journey of Reckoning, Unraveling Shame, and Reclaiming Her Worth, Ayurvedic health practitioner, yoga therapist of over 25 years, and retreat leader in Costa Rica. Serena's work bridges ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, therapeutic yoga, nervous system resilience, and her own lived experience as the daughter of an Indian father and Chinese mother navigating cultural conditioning, belonging, shame, and self-worth.Together, we explore what it means to become truly unbound from generational expectations, good daughter conditioning, immigrant guilt, and the deeply internalized belief that we must earn love, safety, or belonging by staying inside the box we were handed. Serena shares the powerful story behind her book, including the bound-footed fate of her maternal Chinese lineage and the ways women can still carry inherited restriction, fear, and self-abandonment long after the visible bindings are gone.We also talk about burnout, chronic dysregulation, and the subtle ways women are taught to push harder instead of listening to the body's whispers. Through the lens of Ayurveda and therapeutic yoga, Serena offers a grounded, practical, science-meets-soul approach to healing burnout, rebuilding resilience, and returning to the body as a place of wisdom, truth, and repair. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that sustainable transformation does not come through force, perfection, or constant doing, but through alignment, daily rituals, nervous system support, and learning to pause.In this episode, we explore:Serena's journey as a mixed-race immigrant daughter born to an Indian father and Chinese motherThe inspiration behind Serena's book, Unbound, and why she felt called to tell the deeper story behind her life and workThe emotional weight of carrying family expectations, cultural conditioning, shame, failure, and obligation like a backpackHow “good daughter” conditioning can keep women trapped in lives that look successful on the outside but feel deeply misaligned on the insideWhat it looks like to honor your ancestors and family while still choosing a life that is honest, aligned, and truly your ownThe irony of using wellness, personal growth, spirituality, or self-improvement as another way to push, perform, and over-functionWhy true healing often begins when we stop trying to escape discomfort and learn how to sit with ourselvesHow Ayurveda and therapeutic yoga can support nervous system regulation, resilience, embodiment, and sustainable transformationThe Ayurvedic idea of asking whether a person, food, habit, relationship, or choice contributes to the fabric of your wellbeing or depletes itThe difference between pushing harder and building resilience through alignment, pause, rhythm, and feminine wisdomBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Serena:Learn more about Serena's work, retreats, offerings, and book at: www.serenaarora.comInstagram: @serena_aroraConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Serena's Book: Unbound: An Immigrant Daughter's Journey of Reckoning, Unraveling Shame, and Reclaiming Her WorthSign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn More

Most herbal dosing strategies fail during acute infections, not because the herbs are wrong, but because the dosage, frequency, and timing are wrong. In this video, Sajah Popham from the School of Evolutionary Herbalism walks you through the four biggest mistakes herbalists make when treating infections, and how to create protocols that lead to better outcomes. Here's what you'll learn: Why herbal dosing for acute infections is different from chronic care The four most common mistakes people make when taking herbs during illness Why low-dose strategies often fail in the treatment of acute infections Suggested dosage and frequency guidelines for acute herbal protocols Why herbs need time and consistency to build up and be effective How to think about various herb classes as part of your treatment protocol The importance of organ-system specificity and tissue state energetics Why herbs don't work the same way antibiotics do, and how to manage client expectations Treating lingering symptoms Supportive lifestyle practices that improve recovery outcomes Warning signs that indicate it may be time to seek medical attention If you want to dive even deeper into this kind of information, you might really like our FREE Vitalist Herbalism Mini-course.

She left Goldman Sachs, moved to Mozambique for a year, and came back to build one of the most distinct wellness brands in America. Rose Hamilton, CEO of Compass Rose Ventures and co-host of The Story of a Brand Show, sits down with Shizu Okusa, Founder & CEO of Apothékary, for a masterclass in what it really means to build a brand system not just a product line. From a New York City billboard to a Series A close, Apothékary is proof that deep roots and radical clarity can outpace any amount of paid media spend. * Three iterations before liftoff. Apothékary started as a pop-up store rooted in Ayurveda, evolved into powders, and eventually landed on liquid supplements, a format Shizu now considers a near-monopoly position. The lesson: your first product is almost never your final one. * Heritage as an operating system, not a mood board. Shizu's Japanese roots show up in how the company hires, iterates, and moves; guided by the principle of Kaizen, continuous improvement. It's not packaging. It's how the business runs. * TikTok crossed a million dollars a month and here's why. Apothékary's TikTok success isn't about chasing the algorithm. It's built on 20,000+ affiliates creating education-first content around a visually distinctive blue liquid dropper that stops the scroll and earns the click. * Retail forced brutal clarity. Entering Whole Foods, Sprouts, and The Vitamin Shoppe forced Apothékary to put ingredient benefits bigger than the brand name on packaging. The consumer doesn't have time for your founder story in the aisle and that discipline makes the brand stronger everywhere. * Distribution is the moat. In a category where products get copied, Shizu's sharpest insight is that the real defensibility is distribution, the ability to play in grocery, health care, and beauty simultaneously, backed by proprietary formulas and Shiseido as a strategic investor. Join us in listening to this episode for one of the most intellectually rigorous and practically useful brand conversations we've had on the show. Rose and Shizu cover signal, thesis, behavior, and proof, the four pillars of a brand that becomes easier to understand and harder to copy over time. Whether you're a founder, an operator, or an investor, this one will sharpen how you think.

I recently sat down with Josie Santi on The Everygirl Podcast and we went deep on everything from Ayurveda and your doshas to healing from betrayal, the feminine path to pleasure and why everything you have been told about wellness might not actually be for you. This is one of those conversations that covers it all. We started with my story of chronic bloating, losing my period for 2 years, being told to microwave ice cream by doctors, and how discovering Ayurveda changed everything. And then we went somewhere I was not expecting to go. In this episode we explore:
In this fascinating episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Heather Grzych — author, Ayurvedic medicine teacher, past president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association, and host of the globally ranked Wisdom of the Body podcast. Heather shares how she went from a high-powered corporate career to becoming one of the leading voices in Ayurvedic health and wellness — and how a deeply personal journey with fertility, divorce, and self-discovery led her there. Together, Wendy and Heather explore the ancient science of Ayurveda, how your unique mind-body type (or dosha) shapes everything from your digestion to your relationships, and why learning to truly listen to your body may be the most transformative thing you can do in midlife. What You'll Learn What Ayurveda is and why it's been called "the mother of all medicines" How to identify your mind-body type (dosha) and use it to optimize your health, diet, and relationships Why food quality — not just calories — matters far more than most of us realize How Ayurveda can help you navigate major life transitions with more resilience and grace The power of daily rituals and getting quiet enough to "rest in yourself" and find your true nature
In this episode: Welcome to another deep dive into the embodied experiences with the dating world anno 2026 as a Manifestor female. Join me (Roa) in my elaboration of the wound of being too much as a Manifestor dealing with romantic relationships in dating. As we are a small percentage of the population with a very noticeable different energy than other energy types, we can end up in some quirky energetically weirdness when we go into dating. In January 2025 I received an urge to go deep diving into the dating field, totally new in the arena. I jumped off the roof as a 6th line to go explore, breaking my heart, more than once, but receiving massive teachings as well. From my open, honest heart to yours, Roa Connect with Roa on Instagram @roa.moelgaard Website: https://www.roamoelgaard.com/ Learn more about Roa: Roa Moelgaard is the Healing Facilitator for the Manifestor Community. You may have seen her around the community over the last year, whether it is in her content on instagram or through her brilliant resources like Recalibrate and Love Your Liver. Roa is a 6/2 Splenic Manifestor, and an incredibly skilled healer. She is a trained and authorised medical doctor, but her work extends far beyond conventional medicine. She is also a trained Ayurvedic practitioner and Kundalini Yoga teacher. She sees humans not as separate from nature, but as nature itself; cyclical beings existing in constant relationship with the world around us. Roa works with holistic health and balance across three interconnected levels: the physical and embodied, the mental and emotional, and the spiritual. Healing, to her, is about restoring balance within and between these layers. Her work weaves together modern medicine with Ayurveda, herbalism, homeopathy (including metaphysical understanding), and other holistic and spiritual modalities. She is the full embodiment of a Manifestor who initiates through transmutation. While Holly is skilled in initiating thought concepts and new structures for us to understand ourselves on a truer level, Roa complements this perfectly by bringing it into the healing. As we know, all true change is a healing of the mind AND the body. Roa's work in this community brings holistic, embodied healing to Manifestors, by honouring their cycles, their nervous systems, and their innate design.

Most people spend their lives trying to understand who they are through achievement, performance, personality labels, or external validation yet still feel disconnected from themselves underneath it all.Executive coach and Vedic wisdom teacher Vish Chatterji explores the hidden relationship between consciousness, karma, leadership, and identity through the lens of Jyotish, the ancient science of Vedic astrology. What begins as skepticism from an engineer and MBA-trained executive evolves into a deeper exploration of self-awareness, emotional patterns, and soul-level alignment.Together they explore the difference between Western astrology and Vedic astrology, why so many leaders feel emotionally fragmented despite outward success, and how ancient systems can illuminate the hidden tensions we carry into work, relationships, and personal growth. Vish reframes astrology not as fate, but as a tool for consciousness; one that helps people recognize their strengths, karmic patterns, and deeper nature beneath ego and performance.Together, Amy and Vish reflect on intuition, manifestation, karmic debt, leadership, and the emotional freedom that can emerge when we stop resisting difficult experiences and begin seeing meaning inside them.At its core, this episode is an invitation to move beyond self-improvement as performance and toward a more conscious relationship with ourselves, our choices, and the lives we're creating.Moments That Create Momentum:When Achievement Stops Answering Deeper Questions – Explore why so many high performers continue searching for meaning, identity, and fulfillment long after external success arrives.The Gap Between Ego and Authentic Self – Discover how ancient wisdom traditions describe the tension between who we've learned to become and who we actually are underneath performance and survival.Why Leaders Keep Searching for Personality Frameworks – From Myers-Briggs to Vedic astrology, the episode explores humanity's deeper desire to feel understood beyond roles, titles, and productivity.Karma as Emotional and Relational Accountability – Reframing karma not as punishment, but as an energetic balancing process that shapes relationships, conflict, growth, and healing.The Danger of Outsourcing Inner Authority – A nuanced reflection on predictions, intuition, and why discernment matters when seeking guidance, certainty, or spiritual insight.About the Guest:Vish Chatterji is an East-meets-West executive coach, Vedic wisdom teacher, and author who helps people find deeper alignment and meaning in their work through the traditions of Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda, Vedic Philosophy, and Jyotish (Vedic Astrology).

What if healing could begin with simply slowing down, breathing deeply, and spending time in nature?
Click here to send me a quick message :) Traditional intact cultures, and systems like Ayurveda and TCM, all include not only physical and emotional healing but also speak to how the energetic layers of our beings impact our healing, too.Whether it's tuning into the medicine of the wheel of the year like Summer Solstice (the expansive, invigorating sunlight) or the harmonious dance of Yin and Yang or the subtle energies from the Vedic lens of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, every system holds its own wisdom. What matters most is how these subtle energies truly impact us, what we notice, what we feel affinity towards and what works for each of us as unique individuals.The dance of light and dark, contraction and expansion, the underworld and above world, are part of the necessary path to healing. Without one we cannot have the other. I explore all of this in depth and share some reflective prompts and share some examples of herbs and foods that can help you cultivate some of the subtle energies as well. This was a total riffing episode, so I hope it offers some little gems for at least one of you since it just sort of flowed through!Resources:Today's shownotes: Subtle energies on your path to radiant wellbeingFree guide to Gardening for Your Hormonal HealthEpisode 172: What is vibrational medicine?

People pleasing is often misunderstood as simply being "too nice," but for many people it's much deeper than that. It can become a nervous system survival strategy shaped by childhood conditioning, fear of rejection, emotional hypervigilance, and the longing to feel safe, accepted, loved, and connected. In this episode, Colette explores people pleasing through the lens of Ayurveda, nervous system healing, and emotional awareness. She shares how these patterns can disconnect us from our true nature and why healing involves much more than simply "setting boundaries" or "learning to say no." Drawing from both Ayurvedic wisdom and her own personal journey, Colette discusses how chronic people pleasing can manifest as anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, exhaustion, over-responsibility, insomnia, digestive imbalance, nervous system depletion, and emotional disconnection. She also explores the connection between people pleasing and the nervous system's fawn and freeze responses, and why the body may still perceive boundaries as unsafe even when the rational mind knows they are necessary. In this episode, you'll learn: Why people pleasing is often a nervous system adaptation rather than a behaviour The connection between people pleasing, the fawn response, and freeze response How childhood experiences can shape patterns of self-abandonment The Ayurvedic understanding of people pleasing through Vata and Pitta imbalances Why boundaries alone are often not enough for healing How chronic hypervigilance impacts the body, mind, digestion, hormones, and nervous system How Ayurveda supports nervous system repair, emotional awareness, embodiment, and self-trust Gentle practices to help reconnect with your voice, truth, and authentic self Check out Colette's online services: Online Consultations - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/consultations Private Digestive Reset Cleanse - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/digestive-reset-cleanse Online Daily Habits for Holistic Health Program - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/daily-habits Reset-Restore-Renew Program - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/reset-restore-renew Have questions on Colette's online services?

This episode of Wisdom of the Body, "When You're Between Two Versions of Your Life," explores the disorienting experience of feeling disconnected from yourself even when nothing is obviously wrong. Author and Ayurvedic practitioner Heather Grzych reflects on life transitions, identity shifts, emotional numbness, burnout, and the feeling of being "stuck" or lost during periods of internal change. Drawing from stories in spiritual traditions, including from the Book of Genesis, she examines what it feels like when your body, emotions, and sense of self begin changing before your external life catches up. If you've been searching for answers about why you feel different lately, why your life no longer feels fully aligned, or why you feel emotionally unsettled despite functioning normally, this episode offers a deeply human perspective on transition, uncertainty, and becoming someone new before you fully understand who that is. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and teacher of Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company. Heather's first book, The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility, has sold thousands of copies worldwide, and her writing has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Yoga Journal, and the Sunday Independent.

Dr. Vasant Lad is the founder of the Ayurvedic Institute and the man most responsible for bringing Ayurveda to the West. He has spent over 40 years teaching this 5,000-year-old science of life to practitioners across the world, and in this conversation, we sat down together at SoHum Mountain Healing Center in Asheville, North Carolina, where I had just completed a week-long Panchakarma. What unfolded was one of the most quietly profound conversations I have had on this show.What We Dive Into:1. Why unprocessed emotions don't simply pass — and how grief settles in the heart, anger in the liver, and fear in the kidneys until they're physically released.2.
