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.

From Amy:Ten years ago this month, I started my 21st year of teaching with painful confirmations that my career was on its last legs: betrayal by people in power and a frozen right shoulder (my dominant side) that made it hard to write on the board.I didn't know how or when I would make the leap to the life of a working creative. But I knew I had run out of options in my longtime school district.It turned out to be two things. First: I had to leave. When the semester ended in January, I did. My body insisted I do so. Certain people made sure it happened… some who didn't have my back, some who absolutely did. Thanks to them, even (especially) in that fearful passage, I experienced HOPE.Second: After my escape, I kept hope alive by cobbling together activities in person and online, including a book revision cohort that met around a dining room table in South Minneapolis, led by an occasional mentor of mine. I got admitted by promising to finish my manuscript in time for my critique, several months in. That's where I met Keri Mangis, also processing the end of a dream.When my book's turn came to be read, my draft was done, but I backed out for reasons that boil down to a still-raw and reactive nervous system. Of that group, I only trusted Keri to read my draft.And when we reached the milestone of being published—our respective book launch parties—you better believe we were there for each other.I pulled oracle cards, doing readings for guests at Keri's February 2020 launch, just before the world shut down. And of course I was going to podcast about Keri's TEDx Talk experience this summer.See, every time I get to witness Keri's path or she mine, we both have something to offer and we both take something away. I feel a bit more courageous. Every time, without fail. This time as well. Keri's talking about menopause: One life period ending, a promising period starting. Her TEDx idea is to celebrate that passage with women.I'm here for the celebration.And we'll both keep walking.Keri Mangis is more than just an author and speaker—she's a guide for those seeking deeper meaning and transformation in a chaotic world. With over 20 years of experience as a wholeness advocate and spiritual teacher, Keri understands the frustration of feeling stuck and disconnected. Through her writing and teachings, Keri helps people break free from limiting beliefs to rediscover their true essence and align with their core values. Her spiritual and personal growth studies and certifications have run the gamut over the years from yoga, Ayurveda, energy work, and meditation. Most recently, she has taken on studying Alchemy, Jungian Psychology, archetypes, and rites of passage. Her writing has appeared in Spirituality and Health Magazine, Star Tribune, Elephant Journal, and others. Her first book, Embodying Soul: A Return to Wholeness, received multiple awards, including the 2020 IPA award for Mind, Body & Spirit and the 2020 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal in Non-Fiction Spiritual and Supernatural. She is currently working on her second book, an illuminating exploration of personal and collective transformation that will empower readers to evolve their consciousness for an uncertain future.Keri's Links:BookInstagramFacebook Amy Hallberg is the author of Tiny Altars: A Midlife Revival and German Awakening: Tales from an American Life.

They stole our science and sold it back.For centuries, India's 5,000-year Ayurvedic wisdom was suppressed, repackaged, and marketed back to us as “new wellness trends.”In this explosive episode, Dr. Partap Chauhan — Founder & Director of Jiva Ayurveda — sits down with Gaurav Arora to reveal how it happened and how Ayurveda is reclaiming its place as the world's most powerful healing system.

As the seasons shift, your skin tells a story. Autumn's dry, cool winds can bring flakiness, sensitivity, or dullness, while lingering summer heat may still trigger redness or irritation. Ayurveda teaches us that these changes aren't random, they're reflections of dosha balance, digestion, and even our emotions. In this episode, we explore how to keep your skin radiant and resilient during autumn by understanding the connection between seasonal shifts, inner health, and emotional wellbeing. You'll learn how Vata and Pitta influence the skin at this time of year, why seasonal cleansing is key for preventing imbalance, and simple Ayurvedic rituals that nourish both inside and out. You'll discover: Why autumn is a sensitive time for the skin Dosha-specific tendencies and skin challenges in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha types The role of digestion and seasonal cleansing in radiant skin Emotional imbalances that can show up on the skin Ayurvedic rituals: oil cleansing, abhyanga, hydrating masks, diet, and grounding routines Your skin is more than surface deep, it's a reflection of your inner balance. Join me in this episode to discover how Ayurvedic wisdom can help you move into autumn with vitality, resilience, and a healthy glow.

What do you do when you have a sinus infection? It's painful, it's tough to breathe, and frankly, it can feel a little scary. Many people would quickly ask for an antibiotic for this situation. This isn't wrong, but it is possible to treat sinusitis herbally in many cases.    As I discussed in a previous episdoe, I had a sinus infection that wasn't responding to systemic herbal treatment. I opted to use nasal irrigation with a neti pot, but instead of using the typical saline solution, I added specific herbs. I experienced a swift turnaround in my symptoms, cleared the infection within a few days, and was able to avoid the round of antibiotics my naturopath suggested.   The key to treating sinusitis has everything to do with the herbs you choose, and it has everything to do with delivering those herbs topically to the tissues that need them.  Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The five herbs I used to treat sinusitis and why I chose them Why whole herbs are often more effective than isolated constituents The conundrum of antimicrobials: making sense of the terms antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal How different classes of constituents work synergistically against inflammation and infection Practical methods for using these herbs in neti pots and nasal sprays Ecological and energetic perspectives on sinus infections (heat, dampness, atony, etc.) Substitutions for harder-to-procure, expensive, and at-risk herbs   ———————————— 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.

Spirituality can be a powerful force for healing, but what happens when it becomes a mask for avoidance? In this conversation, our guest Ananta Ripa Ajmera explores the rising phenomenon of spiritual bypassing: using spiritual language to escape responsibility, dismiss effort as “divine timing,” or rationalize inaction as destiny.Ananta offers radical responsibility as the antidote: taking full ownership of our choices and recognizing that karma shapes every dimension of life. Drawing on Ayurveda and her own wisdom, she explains how true healing requires more than herbs and therapies; it demands selfless service, emotional honesty, and courage to face our inner wounds.Episode HighlightsSpiritual Bypassing and InactivityReal Meaning of Navratri Karma, Forgiveness, and ServiceBhagavat Gita and Krishna's LessonsThe Path of Radical ResponsibilityTimestamps00:00 – 09:45: Introduction and Spiritual Bypassing09:45 – 22:12: The Goddess Journey Through Chakras22:12 – 24:41: New Beginnings, Forgiveness, and Service24:42 – 31:44: The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita31:45 – 36:52: Friendship with the Self and the Power of Truth36:53 – 42:23: Conflict as Medicine and the Practice of Sthitaprajna42:23 – 51:57: The Path of Radical Responsibility51:57 – 01:01:12: The Essence of Spiritual HealingAbout Ananta Ripa Ajmera A spiritual teacher and 10-time award-winning, 2-time bestselling author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way.

He also discusses the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in pain management and the importance of individualized treatment approaches. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-jeff-kd-myers   Highlights from today's episode include: Dr. Jeff KD Meyers emphasized the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in pain and healing, explaining that treating one aspect can improve the others, and that modern research supports this holistic view. (0:08:56–0:13:29) Dr. Jeff KD Meyers shared his personal journey with chronic pain and how discovering and consistently practicing Feldenkrais exercises helped him reduce his pain dramatically, illustrating the importance of individualized healing paths. (0:28:35–0:32:13)  Manon highlighted the importance of discernment and tuning into one's own body and intuition when choosing therapies, stressing that healing is a personal journey and that change is always possible. (0:35:33)   ABOUT DR JEFF KD Meyers: Jeff “KD” Meyers, M.D., L.Ac. is a physician, acupuncturist, guide, and storyteller whose work bridges Western medicine, holistic healing, and expanded states of consciousness. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, he completed residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Penn and has practiced integrative medicine for over 30 years. Dr. Meyers specializes in peak performance, neuro-plasticity, and self-actualization and fulfillment, leading seminars and retreats focused on innovative, integrative approaches. He teaches internationally on topics including rehabilitation, resilience, yoga and Ayurveda, acupuncture, somatic practices, psychedelics, archetypes, and the transformative power of music. His journey as a healer has been influenced deeply by the wisdom of spiritual traditions including the Abrahamic lineage--Sufism, Judaism, and Christianity, as well as Buddhism, yogic and syncretic traditions.

Today I'm talking about actual physical practices that can help us come back into alignment. In the east Indian health science of Ayurveda, self care is the corner stone of our wellbeing. Through ancient self care practices, we can practice tending to ourselves, in a way that shows ourselves the love and care we actually need. This episode includes tips and tools for daily self care, along with a permission slip (that you must give yourself), to take the very best care of your one precious self. Reach out to learn more about a personalized plan for self care, by visiting my website here. Follow the latest Astrological transits here. Sign up for my weekly mailing list here. Hoping this episode was helpful today.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. John Douillard, a leading expert in Ayurvedic medicine and founder of LifeSpa.com. I read his book Body, Mind, and Sport about 20 years ago, and it was one of the first books I found that combined breath work and movement. With over 40 years of experience, Dr. John blends ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science to help people achieve lasting health, vitality, and longevity. We talk about how aligning your diet and lifestyle with your dosha and the seasons can optimize gut health and detoxification. You’ll learn why today’s extreme wellness trends might work short-term but often miss the root causes of poor health. I discuss how nasal and diaphragmatic breathing techniques—practiced by elite athletes and used by Dr. John in his own triathlon training—can improve oxygen delivery, reduce stress, and open up the diaphragm. Dr. John explains that 91% of athletes don’t have a fully contracting and relaxing diaphragm because of excessive sitting, which keeps the diaphragm in a pre-contracted, rigid state. He walks us through a basic Ayurvedic breathing technique called DPR—breathing through the belly, chest, and upper chest while raising your arms—to fully engage and loosen the diaphragm. This breath work pumps the lymphatic system, clears toxins, and helps with brain health. We also cover the “bellows breathing” exercise, or “The One Minute Meditation,” a powerful technique to open the rib cage, increase energy, and enter a deep state of calm. This conversation cuts through the noise of trendy health advice, so if you want to reconnect with time-tested strategies rooted in Ayurveda that support long-term well-being, you don’t want to miss this show. Dr. John Douillard is a globally recognized expert in Ayurveda and the founder of LifeSpa.com—one of the world’s most trusted sources for evidence-based Ayurvedic healthcare. He’s authored seven books and over 1,500 articles, helping millions reverse aging and heal naturally. Dr. John began his Ayurvedic studies in India in 1986 and later partnered with Deepak Chopra to train Western doctors in Ayurvedic medicine. He also served as Director of Player Development for the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets and has applied Ayurvedic techniques to improve athletic performance, working with top athletes including Billie Jean King. Check out his website, www.lifespa.com, and explore his books—especially Body, Mind, and Sport, which explores how nasal breathing can enhance performance and reduce the stress of exercise.

In this episode, Sarah delves into the integration of scientific principles with spiritual practices in nature-based education, highlighting a holistic approach that nurtures both mind and soul. She discusses how scientific research informs our understanding of developmental stages from childhood to adulthood, complementing spiritual growth. Nature is portrayed as a bridge between scientific inquiry and spiritual exploration, offering transformative experiences. Sarah explains how combining scientific insights with spiritual practices can turn life's challenges into opportunities for self-understanding. The episode also explores the role of mindfulness and meditation in development, supported by scientific findings. Furthermore, Sarah emphasizes the enhancement of community through a dual lens of science and spirituality in education. Practical advice is offered for incorporating these elements into nature-based learning. Finally, Sarah shares promising new discoveries and practices that point towards the future of nature-based education.Meet Sarah: Sarah was born in Boston in 1954 between two hurricanes. In third grade, inspired by her teacher Mrs. Wamsley, Sarah won a prize at her school for a bird's nest collection. Her family lived in the forest in Dover, Massachusetts, next to the 1,200 acre Hale Reservation which, rain or shine, was her playground and sanctuary. In addition Sarah's grandparents had a summer home on Narragansett Bay where she roamed freely, feet cut by barnacles, eyes stinging with salt water, hundreds of sunburns, ticks and poison ivy, Sarah loved it all.Sarah sailed across the Atlantic at age 17, then took to the mountains as an instructor for NOLS and Outward Bound. Her inherited skills as a teacher blended with her love for the outdoors as she made her way across the American West and Alaska taking students of all ages into the alchemical opportunity that nature based adventure, and education, provides.In 1976 Sarah was couch surfing in Lander Wyoming, waiting for winter to pass so she could get back out into the field with a paycheck. To pay her bills, Sarah took a paid training course at the local hospital to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. A kind and competent RN took Sarah under her wing and encouraged her to consider nursing school. Sarah graduated in 1979 as an RN. Her love for nature merged with the health sciences as she stepped into the best career she can imagine. In her 46 year career as an RN Sarah has worked in rural healthcare clinics, regional hospitals, schools and third world countries. She has worked as a midwife, ER Nurse and Critical Care Nurse and everything in between. Raising three children and 12 hour hospital shifts was a recipe for burn out. This is when Sarah found yoga as a potent stress management tool. Yoga led her to its sister science, Ayurveda, the oldest healthcare system on the planet. Sarah now combines modern medicine with the time tested wisdom and science of Ayurveda to teach deep wellness. Deep wellness is a protective state of body, mind and soul that can be present even when we are challenged by poor health and aging. She is a multi-certified yoga, Ayurveda and meditation teacher, Enneagram Coach and grandmother to three adventuresome growing children. She lives on the skirt of a mountain in Western Colorado with thousands of acres of National Forest a few miles up the road.

We'll explore how living in a Sattvic way is more than just a diet or a daily routine.It's a way of aligning your mind, body, and spirit in a way that creates mental clarity, emotional stability, and deep vitality. An Ayurveda lifestyle directly shapes the mind, the foods we eat, sleep hygiene, environment, and the thoughts we cultivate, influences the qualities of consciousness. Sattva, clarity and harmony, Rajas, activity and restlessness, and Tamas, heaviness and inertia.We'll also examine Tamasic and Rajasic lifestyles so you can see how habits, patterns, and thought processes create agitation, dullness or imbalance, and learn how to shift towards Sattvic living with awareness and ease.

Have you ever noticed cravings sneak up when you're stressed, tired, or at the change of a season? Ayurveda teaches us that cravings aren't about willpower, they're messages from the body, pointing to imbalance. Whether it's toxins (ama), weak digestion (Agni), or long-held emotional patterns, cravings are signposts that something deeper is asking for attention. In this episode, Colette explores: The Ayurvedic view of cravings through the six tastes (rasa) How doshic imbalances (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) shape what we crave The difference between true nourishment and false cravings Why ultra-processed foods disrupt our natural signals How an Ayurvedic cleanse rekindles Agni and resets your palate The emotional side of cravings - samskaras, habits, and food as comfort Practical tips to integrate into everyday life with mindful eating, seasonal foods, and gratitude ✨ Special Invitation ✨ If you'd like to experience this reset for yourself, join my upcoming Group Digestive Reset Cleanse starting October 3rd.

September is the most pivotal month of late 2025. We're in the middle of a six-week eclipse window that started in late August and goes through September into early October. These windows bring major life changes and choices, portals of transformation where you come out a new person. This one especially activates Leo and Aquarius — old roles and identities being released, and new vision and community calling you forward.On September 6, Uranus turns retrograde for five months in Taurus in Kritika Nakshatra. This is a time to go back over the changes you've made with finances and family, to cut away what is not necessary, and to slow down. Unexpected opportunities may appear as you refine your values and security.The next day, September 7, is the full moon lunar eclipse in Aquarius in Purva Bhadrapada. The sun is with Ketu, the moon is with Rahu. It's not a good day for major decisions, but a powerful moment of completion and release. This eclipse highlights ego death, letting go of outdated identities, and moving toward your unique expression and authentic communities.On September 12, the Moon is exalted — a nourishing pause for grounding and self-care. Then September 13, Mars moves into Libra for six weeks. Energy turns toward relationships, fairness, and balance. Unconscious action could lead to conflict, but directed intentionally it can bring passion, harmony, and more balance in life.On September 14, Venus enters Leo for three and a half weeks, joining Sun, Mercury, and Ketu there. This is a fun, romantic, creative energy — great for travel, adventure, dates, and sharing what you love. Soon after, Mercury enters Virgo on September 15 for 17 days, and the Sun follows on September 16 for one month. This creates a strong Virgo energy: creative, organized, precise, and excellent for learning, communication, and bringing clarity in relationships and projects.On September 21, the new moon solar eclipse in Purva Phalguni in Leo sets the tone for the next six months. It's a reset point to evaluate the roles you play, step into healthy ego, and let go of identities that no longer fit. And finally, September 22 brings the equinox — day and night in balance, a reminder to restore harmony. Ayurveda teaches that all diseases begin in seasonal transitions, so it's important now to balance your routines, diet, and doshas as the energy shifts.This is a month of major change and realignment.

When most of us think about improving digestion, we focus on food choices, what to eat and what to avoid. But Ayurveda teaches us that how and when we eat, along with our daily lifestyle habits, are just as important for keeping agni (digestive fire) strong and preventing ama (toxins). In this episode, Colette explores five often-overlooked habits that quietly weaken digestion over time and shares simple Ayurvedic fixes to reset them. These shifts may seem small, but they can have a profound effect on energy, immunity, and overall wellbeing. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why agni thrives on rhythm and how irregular eating times throw digestion off track How emotional stress diverts energy away from healthy digestion The hidden impact of late-night screen use on your body's natural repair cycles Why even “healthy” foods can cause ama when combined improperly How eating out of sync with the seasons creates imbalance and what to do instead You'll also hear practical, before-and-after lifestyle examples to help you notice where these patterns might be showing up in your own life. * If you're ready for deeper support and motivated to do an all-in-one reset, then come join the discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse starting October 3rd, which addresses all five of these areas at once. This guided group cleanse includes a 90-minute online consultation so I can tailor the program to your unique needs and lifestyle.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into the vital intersection of nutrition, trauma, and mental health with Dr. Bhargav Patel—psychiatrist, trauma researcher at Brown University, AI strategist, and CEO of Mypeak. Dr. Patel unpacks the often-overlooked link between food and mood, explains how trauma impacts the body and brain, and shares a 4-step framework to transform pain into growth. From Ayurvedic wisdom to cutting-edge AI tools in psychiatry, this conversation is packed with insights for anyone seeking deeper healing and sustained resilience. About the Guest:Dr. Bhargav Patel is a multifaceted leader shaping the future of mental health. He serves as a psychiatrist and trauma researcher at Brown University, leads Mypeak—an award-winning health optimization company—and is a clinical AI strategist. He blends ancient wisdom with modern science to advance trauma recovery, nutritional psychiatry, and tech-enabled mental wellness. His upcoming book The Trauma Transformed explores healing and post-traumatic growth. Key Takeaways: The connection between nutrition and mental health dates back to Ayurveda and is now resurfacing in modern psychiatry. Trauma and PTSD are distinct; only a small percentage of trauma cases develop into PTSD. Healing requires processing trauma, activating brain plasticity, creating overriding experiences, and finding meaning. AI can augment, not replace, mental health care—enhancing access while maintaining ethical guardrails. Peak performance should follow healing, not bypass it. Optimization and deep recovery can coexist on a spectrum. Nature, stillness, and personalized nutrition are future pillars of holistic leadership and mental health.   Connect with Dr. Bhargav Patel: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhargav-b-patel    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avikTune in to all our 15 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavikSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/Join the Community: https://nas.io/healthymind Stay Tuned and Follow Us:YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.podThreads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.podFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #MentalHealthAwareness #NutritionAndHealing #TraumaRecovery #AIInHealthcare #PostTraumaticGrowth #ConsciousLiving #MindBodyConnection #PodcastLife #VoicesOfUnity

Cancer Put Her in a Coma. She Survived. Her Near Death Experience Changed Everything. Mayim Bialik's Breakdown delves into Anita Moorjani's (renowned author, TedX speaker & self-help spiritual speaker) mind-blowing near-death experience (NDE) story and how it completely transformed her cancer, her path to healing & spiritual awakening, and how it changed the way she viewed life after death. Before her miraculous cancer recovery, Anita opens up like never before about the emotional toll of escaping an arranged marriage, her belief that neglecting her own needs while caring for others may have contributed to her cancer, and why living out of alignment with your true self can be toxic (and even deadly). Her integration journey post-NDE wasn't easy. Friends and family treated her like the same person — but she had touched something far greater than this world, and she couldn't go back. Anita Moorjani also breaks down: - Her belief that heaven is not a place, but a state of being - How we're all eternally connected — past, present, and future - Why intuition, self-love, & authenticity are the real medicine we've all been missing - How you're likely manifesting wrong - How Ayurveda and naturopathic healing deeply resonated with her healing journey - Difference between unconditional love (the kind people experience during NDEs) and earthly love - Why deepening your intuition starts with radical self-confidence - How letting go of what isn't authentically you is the key to ultimate healing This is not just a story about cancer — it's a wake-up call about life, death, spiritual awakening and the power of living as your truest self.
