Podcasts about doshas

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 dieser Episode spreche ich über ein Thema, das in der klassischen Zahnmedizin oft zu kurz kommt – die Gründe, warum Zahnimplantate manchmal nicht richtig einheilen, aus ganzheitlicher und ayurvedischer Perspektive. Wir schauen hinter die Kulissen der Schulmedizin und betrachten die körperlichen, energetischen und seelischen Ebenen, die eine Rolle beim Heilungsprozess spielen. Denn: Ein Implantat heilt nicht nur im Knochen ein – sondern im ganzen System. Was du in dieser Folge erfährst: Warum nicht nur der Knochen entscheidet, ob ein Implantat einheilt. Die Rolle von Agni (Verdauungsfeuer) & Ojas (Lebenskraft) für deine Heilung. Wie emotionale Belastungen oder Stress die Regeneration verzögern. Warum eine unausgeglichene Lebensweise und Ernährung ein Risikofaktor sein kann. Der Einfluss von Doshas. Kennst du jemanden, bei dem Implantate schlecht eingeheilt sind? Oder hast du selbst Erfahrungen gemacht? Dann teile die Folge gerne und schreibe mir auf Instagram.

Unangenehmer Intimgeruch, Jucken, Brennen oder Ausfluss – kaum eine Frau spricht gerne darüber, und doch kennen so viele diese Beschwerden. In dieser Folge möchte ich das Tabu brechen und dir zeigen, warum Scham hier nichts verloren hat. Du erfährst: ✨ welche Rolle dein Darmmikrobiom für die Vaginalflora spielt ✨ wie der pH-Wert dein Milieu schützt – und was passiert, wenn er kippt ✨ warum Ayurveda die Vaginalflora als Spiegel deiner Doshas versteht ✨ welchen Einfluss auch Emotionen, Stress und Schamgefühle auf den Beckenraum haben ✨ und wie du deine Vaginalflora ganzheitlich stärken kannst – sanft, wirksam und ohne Scham.

 Today we dive deeper into the layers of the mind and personality with Ayurvedic Psychology 102: The 3 Doshas and the 3 Gunas. At the heart of Ayurveda lies a timeless template. One that explains not just your body and mind, but consciousness itself through the lens of the five elements and their expressions as the Doshas and Gunas.This isn't just about understanding your stress responses or emotional habits, though that's part of it. It's about learning to see the world through the lens of nature's intelligence. We'll begin with the 3 Doshas: Vata, the principle of movement and change; creative, spontaneous, but prone to anxiety and fragmentation.Pitta, the force of transformation focused, passionate, and discerning yet can burn out or become irritable. Kapa, the energy of structure and cohesion, loving, loyal and calm, but sometimes resistant to change. And then we'll move into the 3 Gunas, the subtle forces of the mind: Sattva brings clarity, peace, and harmony.Rajas brings action, ambition, and restlessness. Tamma brings stillness, but also inertia, confusion or ignorance. These 6 forces, the three Doshas and the three Gunas form a living map of consciousness. They help us understand why we feel, what we feel, do what we do, and how to come back into alignment with our higher self.When you begin to see yourself and others through this elemental lens, life starts to make more sense. You stop personalizing everything and start realizing and relating to your experience with compassion, insight, and greater freedom. Send us a textFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda products, use code OjasOasis at checkoutFor 20% off GarryNSun products, use code OJASOASIS20 at checkout Book a 1:1 with Sasha at https://www.ojasoasis.com/book For 50% off your initial intake consultation, mention you're a subscriber of the podcast.

Wellness expert and author Heather Grzych interviews Jill Pepper, CEO of Ozer Health, for a thought-provoking conversation about how the U.S. health insurance system really works—from the inside out. Together, they explore why so many Americans feel frustrated or failed by Western medicine, the critical gaps in the system, and why Eastern and natural medicines like Ayurveda often sit on the outskirts of mainstream care. They dive into what makes someone trust a healthcare provider, why trying holistic modalities can feel strange at first, and how to increase access to and adoption of natural healing approaches. It's a powerful dialogue between two women who have navigated both conventional and alternative medicine industries—and are passionate about transforming how we care for our bodies and minds. Jill Pepper, CEO at Ozer Health, with over 18 years in healthcare and employer wellness solutions, has extensive experience in western group insurance for large employer groups, wellness program sales, retention, and strategic distribution.

Wellness expert and author Heather Grzych explores the pervasive influence of the negativity bias - the psychological tendency to focus more on what's wrong than what's right - and how it can disrupt our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Drawing from both spiritual and Ayurvedic wisdom, she unpacks how this mental habit creates emotional and physical impacts and blocks the subtle channels of the mind, leading to imbalances in the doshas and depletion of vitality. Heather shares practical tools for shifting out of this feedback loop. She reminds us that healing is not about perfection but about letting go - of criticism, shame, and old stories - so we can return to wholeness.

Wellness expert and author Heather Grzych speaks with health innovator James Maskell about one of today's most pressing health concerns: cognitive decline. James shares his personal story of helping his father recover from severe memory loss due to mold exposure and explains why the current medical model is failing to address conditions like Alzheimer's effectively. The conversation explores the early warning signs of cognitive issues, the importance of community-based care, and how lifestyle factors like sleep, nutrition, and social connection play a critical role in brain health. James also discusses his work at the intersection of functional medicine, technology, and community, including new tools like AI-powered decision support and virtual care groups aimed at reversing cognitive decline and transforming how we deliver healthcare.   James Maskell is on a mission to flatten the curve of healthcare costs and has spent the past decade innovating at the cross section of functional medicine and community.

Wellness expert and author Heather Grzych explores what it really means to address the root cause of illness – beyond symptoms and surface-level fixes. She shares two compelling case studies: a nurse with a Pitta imbalance and thyroid issues from shift work, and a high-performing executive who thought he had a gluten intolerance, but actually had weakened digestion from overusing supplement drinks. Heather discusses how healing often requires simple-but-not easy changes, and what to do when the source of imbalance isn't something you can just walk away from.

Have you ever wondered why your ayurvedic practitioner asks you to sleep and eat in this or that way, to choose or avoid such and such foods and cooking methods; and to follow or avoid certain lifestyle habits, practices, and routines? In this enlightening two-part episode Dr. Teitelbaum explains in depth the principles that set the foundation for health, well-being, and bliss the ayurvedic way. Part 1 covers with erudition the concepts of Prana and Doshas, which set Ayurveda apart and above Western medicine going beyond the physical body into the realm of our vibrational physiology.

Join Matt and Chris for a trademark 'short' episode as they continue to navigate the complex, occasionally controversial world of Dr. K in this second multi-dimensional episode. This time they take a look at some more recent content and reflect on whether they were wrong to identify Dr. K as such a strong advocate of Ayurvedic medicine. In their investigations, they explore the science of visualisation and manifestation, updated genomic information about the Doshas, and the power of mantras to bend the universe.But primarily they focus on the recent lively discussion between Dr. K and another famous YouTube Doctor, Dr. Mike. Their discussion touched on various topics including the mechanisms of science, the power of consciousness, personalized treatments, and the placebo effect. All good fodder for the DTG grinder even if it ends up, as it so often does, with Chris and Matt gently discussing their points of view about the nature of mind and the (alleged) mystery of subjective experience (we are sorry!).So join us for a thought-provoking ride through scientific criticism, holistic practices, and age-old East vs. West / Alternative vs Science-based medicine debates as we attempt to decipher whether Dr. K is a modern-era internet sage or a charismatic storyteller and alternative medicine advocate.LinksDoctor Mike: Debating The Value Of Eastern Medicine (Ayurveda) | Healthy Gamer Dr. KHeatlhyGamerGG: The Truth About Visualization & ManifestationHealthyGamerGG: Optimize Performance and Develop Self-Understanding with AyurvedaScience is Dope: Should we adopt Ayurveda | An Indian's response | Dr. Mike vs Dr. K

It can be as effective as NSAIDs for issues like joint pain and arthritis, without the negative side effects. Curcumin may also benefit brain health, metabolic health, and the immune system. To get therapeutic benefits, it's best to take curcumin in supplement form rather than just using turmeric in cooking. The supplement should contain an extract that concentrates the curcuminoids. Absorption is enhanced by including black pepper extract (piperine) and healthy fats.  

In today's Student Spotlight episode, Emily is joined by Ziva student Heather Bohanan. Together, they dive into some key concepts from The Vedas that have transformed Heather's life.  In this episode, Heather shares how she used to judge herself for being lazy. It wasn't until she learned more about the different Doshas, and how to fuel her specific body type that she realized she was never lazy - she just didn't have the right tools.  They also discuss one of Emily's favorite concepts from The Vedas - that money is energy and it needs to flow. Plus, Heather shares a story about how she used this concept to attract more financial abundance.  Stay until the end to watch Emily live coach Heather on calling in a romantic partner. Listen how Heather, very quickly, went from ‘I'm open to the possibility to maybe one day have a partner if Nature wants that' to her fully claiming her desire for wanting a romantic partner.  And if you'd like to be featured on Why Isn't Everyone Doing This? send us an DM on Instagram or email info@zivameditation.com. === Want to learn more about The Vedas?
