In today's webinar, Tom read the first chapter of a new writing project: Principles of New Biology, a foundational exploration of how life is formed and maintained through wave-like, electromagnetic forces rather than random chemistry.He discussed how traditional systems like Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda recognized this creative process—long before modern science abandoned the concept of a creator or blueprint—and how our health depends on remaining faithful to the original “word” or organizing frequency that gives us form.Q&A topics included:- Is DNA testing accurate?- What is the role of heat (fever, hot flashes) in healing?- Crystalline structure and species resonance- Cavitations and dental healing- Straphanthus and its safety with cardiac medications- Hydroxychloroquine, quercetin, and ivermectin – what do they really do?- The role of electromagnetic fields in heart function and circulation- Updated insights since Human Heart, Cosmic HeartSupport the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg

Episode 1 – Coming Home to My Natural Rhythms (Welcome Back Episode)After a little pause, Up Your Total Glow is back — and more aligned than ever. In this episode, I'm sharing what led me to slow down, refocus, and realign my work and life with the beautiful wisdom of Ayurveda.I open up about my own Vata–Pitta tendencies (yes, the part of me that wants to do all the things at once!) and how honoring my natural rhythms became an act of deep self-care and integrity. I also gently introduce the Ayurvedic doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — and how understanding these energies can help us feel more grounded, radiant, and at ease in our bodies and minds.✨ This episode is a heartfelt welcome back, filled with honesty, warmth, and a reminder that slowing down is not failure — it's medicine.

When it comes to grand gestures, painting your entire city in the one colour is quite something. So much for painting the town red. How about pink? Jaipur beckons as one of India's most enchanting destinations, where the Old City is harmoniously bathed in the same pink hue. The elegant capital of Rajasthan was painted in pink stucco in 1876 to welcome Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales, who was the son of Queen Victoria and later became King Edward VII. Jaipur's Maharaja chose the colour because pink symbolises hospitality in Rajput culture, and the gesture impressed the Prince so much that he nicknamed the city the "Pink City." The name – and the stucco - has stuck ever since. A year later, a law mandated that all future buildings in the Old City must be painted pink. As I swept into Jaipur on a private holiday Wendy Wu Tours, there's no denying how that welcoming palette sweetly seduces even the most jaded of travellers. Jaipur effortlessly casts you under its spell, as you delve into its rich history and treasury of enticements. There is an unmistakeable magic about the place. Nearly 300 years ago, an enlightened maharajah with a penchant for jewels and a keen eye for architecture built this planned city, wedged between the arid hills of northwest India. Built in the form of a rectangle, Jaipur was divided into nine blocks, seven for public use and two reserved for the state's most prestigious palaces and buildings. The entire city was girdled by a formidable protective wall. Called Jaipur after the city's founder, Jai Singh II, the planned city soon gave rise to astonishing royal palaces and vast workshops of artisans recruited to establish a new commercial hub. These days, gem cutters, jewellery designers and garment-makers are still doing a flourishing trade in Jaipur. And the royals still occupy a wing of the majestic City Palace, while gleaming mid-rise towers and a new subway system anchor Jaipur's forward march. But for all the contemporary progress, it's the architectural grandeur, proud sense of place and thriving craftwork traditions that make this destination so infectious. Street markets are splashed in colour and handicrafts, and Hindu temples can be found nearly every 100 metres. Though the streets heave with beeping and belching traffic, aimless tourists and dung-dropping cows, there is a charm and charisma to the carnival of commotion. Close to City Palace, my wonderful Wendy Wu Tours guide Vipin treated us to some sizzling old-school retail therapy. We walked under the peeling pink porticos of the roadside bazaars which were emblazoned with everything from puppets to pyjama pants; passing by carts of fried chickpea cakes, and marble-lined shrines with statues of Hindu gods. Garment-hunting was high on the agenda, for gifts to take home. Vipin led us to his favourite shop, where an explosion of colourful fabrics heaped in piles and stacked to the ceiling soon greeted us, as attentive staff served us Masala chai. Whether you're after local, authentic t-shirts, shirts, trousers, scarfs, saris, rugs, cushion covers, towels or table-cloths…this is textile and garment-shopping heaven. As my sister snapped up some sensational saris, I haggled down the price on a sublime tablecloth with block-printed red elephants. The other boom retail business is jewellery, because Jaipur is a global centre for cutting and polishing precious and semiprecious gems. Head to Jewels Emporium's stately white building and take a tour of the workshops, where cutters shape facets, and men at workbenches adorn gold settings with jewels, and rinse the gold dust from their hands in wash basins. That water is later sold to extraction companies. The quality of the workmanship is second to none, true Rajasthan's abiding legacy. Jaipur's Pink City bragging rights is best epitomised by the Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds. We stopped by to pose in front of this five-story palace façade, constructed from pink sandstone. Built in 1799, its iconic facade features 953 small windows which allowed royal women of the court to observe street processions without being seen while also creating a natural cooling effect. The palace's architecture is a blend of Rajput and Mughal styles, ornately designed with protruding bays of lattice stonework and cupolas mimicking Krishna's crown. Could there be a more glorious façade in the world? City Palace is a stirring complex to leisurely explore, peppered with mouth-watering architecture, tranquil courtyards and lush gardens. The prize draw is the Palace of the Breeze, a triumph in building design, whereby the air circulates so efficiently that it keeps the occupants cool even in the extreme summer months, when the mercury can nudge 50 degrees. The on-site museum is studded with royal treasures, costumes and curiosities. Out in the courtyard, I admired some massive silver vessels that carried the Maharaja's drinking water from the Ganges River to London in 1902 for Edward VII's coronation. You can see the royal reception rooms that are still in use, where Jaipur's royal family entertain guests in an ornate dining room and parlour, where chairs have silver lions for armrests. The walls are painted with gold dust and extracts of rubies and emeralds. Yipin pointed out where the royal family reside. There's a lot of tabloid tattle about Jaipur's current Maharaja, Pacho Singh. He's only 27, quite the polo-playing playboy and is currently living in the palace with his French girlfriend. But it's fully expected he cannot marry her, in deference to royal tradition and Rajasthan's adherence to arranged marriages and astrological alignment. Beyond the Old City, no visit to Jaipur is complete without savouring the sky-piercing magnificence of the four-hundred-year-old Amber Fort. (Pronounced Ah-meer.) Sprawling across the upper reaches of a hillside like a scene out Return of the Jedi, this fortress was previously the seat of power for the Rajput kings from 1599, before relocating to Jaipur's Old City just over a century later. En-route to the fort, Vipin led us to the most dreamy viewpoint, on the shores of Lake Maotha, where we gazed up in awe at this hilltop colossus. Brightly dressed elephants lumbered by, readying to carry visitors up the slope to the fortress. I had previously taken an elephant ride up to Amber Fort, but I've put weight on since then and am more mindful of animal welfare. We opted for a jeep ride through the skinny lanes snaking their way up to Sun Gate. From here, we marvelled over the China Wall-esque fortifications, the Amber Wall, riding across the ridgelines as far as the eye can see. ( It's 12km in length.) But this Rajput stronghold hooks in the tourist hordes principally for its gobsmacking array of palatial buildings and extravagant ornamental gardens. In shades of honey and rose stone, white marble and gilt decor, it's a frothy fusion of ornate Hindu and Islamic design. Amber Fort's exquisite craftsmanship is best exemplified by the Mirror Palace, or Sheesh Mahal. Candlelight dinners would have been next-level. A single lit candle spangles the beautifully cut Belgian glass panels and mirror mosaics that festoon the walls of the banquet room, transforming the space into a night-sky kaleidoscope across the walls and ceiling. Apparently, this room was made by the Maharaja so that the Maharani (queen) could see the stars at night, as she was not allowed to sleep in the open. Other highlights include the many-pillared Diwan-i-Am, the Hall of Public Audience; the Jal Mandir, or Hall of Victory, which features carved marble panels, a mirrored ceiling, and expansive views over the ramparts of the fort. The Sukh Niwas, the Hall of Pleasure, is another drop-dead-gorgeous marble room that was cleverly cooled with water. Here, the Maharaja reportedly relaxed with his ladies. Amber Fort is a resplendent blockbuster, reverberating with the glory days of Rajput rule in Rajasthan. Jaipur residents are rightly proud of their architectural showstoppers. One of the signature attributes to the city is the fact that some historic palaces, no longer required for the affairs of state, have been reimagined as beacons of hospitality. But I stayed at a brand-new luxury build that is a grand triumph of contemporary construction, fully inspired by Jaipur's landmarks and Rajasthani finesse. Introducing Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur. Whether it's for a big bling-bling Bollywood wedding or for immersive luxury experiences away from the heaving throng of Jaipur's tourist spots, this hotel delivers a tour de force in lavish Rajasthani living, with a contemporary take. It is splendour defined. As our Wendy Wu Tours driver pulled into the entrance, a troupe of Rajasthani dancers and costumed drummers serenaded our arrival in spectacular, effervescent style. Unfurling over 5.5 lush acres, the grand hotel's money shot is its sensational main façade, drawing rich inspiration from Amber Fort and Rajasthan's royal palaces. Features include majestic arches, intricately designed jharokhas (bay windows), and graceful chhajjas (overhanging eaves) and detailed carvings. It was thoughtfully painted in the same colours as Amber Fort's walls during golden hour. Rajputana history and heritage permeates the hotel. You'll notice it in the materials—yellowstone from Jaisalmer, marble from Banswara and Makrana, and locally sourced timbered. There's the treasury of sublime artworks, notably including portraits of Rajput warriors and royalty. Peek inside the Rang Mahal ballroom, where the walls are completely covered with celebratory nods to the state's heritage. It was handpainted over two-and-a-half years by third-generation artists. Delicate thikri glasswork, hand-carved wood accents, and intricate gold leaf detailing abound across the hotel. Amer Bagh garden venue unfurls like a verdant blanket at the base of the hotel – and is a stirring outdoor venue. Jai Bagh (victory garden is the main outdoor space for guest and I was absolutely enthralled delving into the daily bazaar that is staged here in the afternoon, complete with puppeteers, block printers, bangle makers and astrologers. Anantara's core DNA is to create hotels steeped in local elements and the Jaipur addition excels at delivering exactly that. You can even go chowk-hopping, vegetable shopping and cooking with local women. The hotel boasts 150 rooms and suites, layered across five categories, with most overlooking the inner courtyard or Jai Bagh. We stayed in the Anantara One-Bedroom Terrace Suite, which is kitted out with its own outdoor Jacuzzi and expansive terrace. I was transfixed here watching muscular monsoon thunderstorms tear up the sky and soak the land! Guestrooms do not skimp on celebrating the sense of place, with sumptuous comforts and artful design elements, from the zardozi on the pillows, thikri work on the headboards, wooden jharokas by the window nooks, and Mughal miniature art on the walls. If that's not enough to tempt you, Anantara's first outpost in India will enchant you with its gastronomic verve. Led by Executive Chef Sunil Jajoria, Sheesh Mahal is a pinch-yourself jewel box of a venue, to experience the true essence of Rajasthan with exquisitely fitted out with glittering mirror mosaics, dressed in 350,000 pieces of glass, inspired by the legendary Mirror Palace. Coud there be a more wondrous place to savour the true essence of Rajasthan's culinary brilliance? The menu marries traditional Rajasthani delicacies with global influences, paired with signature cocktails like the Jewel of Jaipur. Jajoria, a Rajasthan native, has been researching local cuisine for the last seven years. Perfected over 20 trials, his menu dives deep into how maharajas entertained. His tasting menu kicks off with hummus that tastes like Bikaneri bhujia, moving on to ker sangri kebabs, besan kebabs mimicking paneer (as there was no paneer in the history of Rajasthan, says the chef), and Shekhawati maas tacos. The menu is handwritten by the chef himself, on vintage paper he has been collecting since his he was a boy. Pair this menu with the ‘Echoes of Distillation' spirit tasting of heritage liquor from the royal family of Mahansar. It's mixology at its finest, with no shortage of artful theatre thrown in. Another cracking experience is Amrit Mahal, the vibrant all-day dining venue, which presents a diverse array of international and Indian specialties. There were too many highlights to recount, but the lamb baos, edamame truffle dimsums, lotus root on fire, Cantonese buttermilk prawns, soba noodles, and Japanese caramel cheesecake were all pleasurably devoured. The buffet breakfast here is like a royal banquet! The spa experience is a signature feature pillar of any Anantara property, and resident experts were brought in from Thailand to train the Jaipur team. The treatment repertoire remains consistent with their global spa menus—a mix of Ayurveda, Thai massages, and western therapies. I deployed my sister to the spa for some personal panel-beating and she is still buzzing about the deep tissue massage she savoured. She rates it as the best massage of her life, “life-affirming, age-reducing and liberating.” Another starring attribute of the hotel is its genuine sense of connection with the community. As a part of their grassroots outreach, the hotel works with local women to make the rotis on their menu on a chulha or traditional clay stove. You can take an early morning trip to the flower market or a guided farming experience. Even better, take a private visit to Hathi Gaon, which is a community of rescue elephants residing in their natural habitat. Or partake in a local culinary class. I was particularly impressed that the hotel takes care of their staff's accommodation needs, building nearby apartments to ensure they are well-housed. Hospitality is as sparkling as the palace-like hotel itself - faultless, ultra-attentive, charismatic and truly unforgettable. Treat yourself to a remarkable Jaipur escape at Anantara Jewel Bagh.

Today we're embarking on a journey that feels deeply personal to me, one that bridges my childhood in New Delhi, India, with the cutting-edge science of human optimization.From ages four to eight, I lived in India, where I was first exposed to yoga, Ayurveda, and a way of seeing the body not as a machine, but as an intelligent, conscious system in constant dialogue with nature. Those early impressions planted seeds that have shaped my entire approach to health and human potential.Today, I'm honored to welcome someone who has spent over 40 years building bridges between that ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern science, Dr. John Douillard. As a chiropractor, certified Ayurvedic practitioner, and founder of LifeSpa.com, Dr. John has worked alongside Deepak Chopra, trained medical doctors in Ayurvedic medicine, and served as Director of Player Development for the NBA's Brooklyn Nets, where he was the first in the West to apply Ayurvedic principles to elite athletic performance.He's the author of seven books, including the bestsellers Eat Wheat and Body, Mind, and Sport, and his work explores some of the most fascinating intersections I can imagine: quantum physics and consciousness, the gut-brain axis, seasonal microbiomes, and how practices like nose breathing can literally change our nervous system's relationship to stress.This conversation is going to stretch us, intellectually, spiritually, and practically. So wherever you are right now, take a deep breath through your nose, and let's dive in.Episode Highlights02:00 — Introduction: Ariane welcomes Dr. John Douillard and explores what drew him from sports medicine into the world of Ayurveda.04:00 — The turning point: how meditation transformed his athletic performance and life direction.06:00 — From Boulder to India: closing his practice to study Ayurveda, meeting Deepak Chopra, and bridging ancient wisdom with modern science.08:00 — Early resistance in Western medicine and the blind spots of reductionist science.11:00 — What Ayurveda truly is: the science and truth of life, harmony with circadian rhythms, and the body as an instrument for perceiving subtle energy.15:00 — Seasonal eating and microbial intelligence: how microbes in soil and food shift with the seasons and why our gut should too.19:00 — The two-way relationship between soil microbes and gut health.22:00 — The brain as a digestive organ: gut–brain lymphatic systems and why diaphragmatic breathing is key to mental clarity and immune health.26:00 — “Stop bubble-wrapping your diet”: why digestive resilience matters more than dietary purity.29:00 — Scientific studies on wheat, gut diversity, and hormesis: why exposure builds strength.32:00 — Lessons from Amish children and immunity: the hormetic power of natural exposure.34:00 — Emotional ama: how unprocessed emotions become toxicity in the body.35:00 — Ayurvedic psychology, rites of passage, and the art of giving without expectation.39:00 — Epigenetic effects of love and generosity; how kindness changes our biology.43:00 — Love, boundaries, and compassion: the difference between kindness and niceness.47:00 — Biophotons: light emissions from DNA and their role in coherence, intention, and healing.52:00 — Prayer as “technology”: coherence, intention, and quantum entanglement in healing.58:00 — Quantum healing, consciousness, and the bridge between field and physiology.01:03:00 — Placebo as real magic: consciousness reorganizing matter.01:06:00 — Microbiome evolution, altruism, and how love literally changes our biology.01:08:00 — Three daily non-negotiables: • Morning meditation or prayer for inner–outer silence • Diaphragmatic “flossing” to activate lymphatic detox and brain...

In today's episode, we explore one of Ayurveda's most fascinating diagnostic tools: the tongue. The art of tongue analysis, or Jivha Pariksha, allows practitioners to see what's happening in the body and mind before a single word is spoken, revealing the subtle imbalances, stagnation and vitality reflected on the surface of the tongue according to ancient texts.The Charaka and Sushruta Samhitas, the color coating, texture, and shape of the tongue, provide profound clues about an individual's health. In Ayurveda, the tongue is seen not merely as a muscle for taste and speech, but as a map linked to multiple organs and systems in the body. Key diagnostic insights include: detection of doshic imbalances, accumulation of toxins in the system, status of metabolic health, and signs of organ dysfunction.Joining us today is Dr. Rama Prasad. A distinguished Ayurvedic practitioner and educator with over three decades of clinical experience. Dr. Prasad is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in therapeutic fasting mind, body medicine, and holistic health assessment. He has been instrumental in introducing Ayurveda to Western health professionals through international conferences.Training programs and coaching. Currently, Dr. Rama leads innovative projects at Vaidyagrama Ayurveda Healing Village, where he focuses on online education, app development, and specialized wellness programs for a range of health conditions. His mission is to bridge the timeless principles of Ayurveda with modern healthcare, empowering both practitioners and clients to deepen their understanding of the body's innate intelligence.Today we dive into how the tongue serves as a mirror to the organs, what specific colors, textures, and shapes reveal about the doshas, and how Jivha Pariksha can help us detect and balance as long before they manifest as disease. So take a deep breath, settle in and prepare to see your health through a whole new lens: one that begins right at the tip of your tongue.Send us a textFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda products, use code OjasOasis at checkoutFor 20% off GarryNSun products, use code OJASOASIS20 at checkout Support the showTo learn more about working with us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram

From the depths of the cosmic ocean, Dhanvantari arose - radiant and serene, carrying the pot of Amṛta, the nectar of immortality. This is the birth of Ayurveda, the birth of healing itself.In this special Dhanteras episode, Dylan retells the ancient Vedic story of the Samudra Manthana (the Churning of the Ocean of Milk) and reveals how this timeless myth mirrors the process of transformation within us all. As light and shadow churn together, both poison and nectar emerge, showing that healing is not about escape, but integration.A meditative and mythic journey through one of the Vedas' most profound tales, this episode invites you to awaken the Dhanvantari within - the innate intelligence that restores balance, purifies what's toxic, and reveals the radiant nectar of health and consciousness that lies beneath the surface of all experience.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

Author and Ayurvedic practitioner Heather Grzych explores what it means to reinvent primary care through the lens of Ayurveda. She reflects on how modern medicine is good at fixing the body when it breaks, while Ayurveda teaches us to listen long before disease appears. Drawing from her own journey — from studying ancient Ayurvedic methods to partnering with doctors and reading blood work — Heather invites listeners to reimagine a healthcare system rooted in prevention, relationship, and vitality. The episode closes with a short meditation that envisions a future where primary care truly honors the wisdom of the body. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in 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.

Dr. Shivani Gupta is an Ayurvedic practitioner, author, and founder of Fusionary Formulas.

We discuss how to identify your mind-body type (dosha), personalize your health rituals, and use ancient wisdom to navigate modern stressors, toxins, and chronic imbalance.Dr. Gupta also shares her insights on the science of inflammation, the role of turmeric in cellular repair, and how daily habits rooted in Ayurveda can restore resilience and harmony in the terrain of the body.If you've ever wondered how to bridge traditional healing with modern living, this conversation is a roadmap to a more aligned, conscious, and empowered approach to health.Learn more about Dr. Shivani at https://shivanigupta.com/.Take 15% OFF your order using code TERRAIN15 at https://fusionaryformulas.com/.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

What Healing Really Is (and Isn't) After Betrayal Humility, Choice, and Community –with Wendi Cohen ““Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.” — Lora Cheadle “Healing” gets thrown around a lot—but in real life it's messy, non-linear, and humbling. In this intimate conversation, Lora and healer/mentor Wendi (formerly of the Chopra Center; now on the Lee Harris team) unpack what healing actually looks like after infidelity, health crises, and identity rupture—and why your “opening” matters more than any timeline. If you've ever wondered, Why don't I feel better yet? Am I doing this wrong?—this episode is for you. Lora and Wendi reveal the lived truth of recovery: three steps forward, two back; grief cycling; learning to receive; and choosing yourself even when others don't approve. You'll hear how meditation created space beyond the mind, why the body never lies, how community can “hold the frequency” when you can't, and the liberating shift from I am my story to I write my story. Expect practical reframes you can use today—especially if you're a high-achieving woman who's tired of doing it all alone. Top 3 Takeaways Healing is non-linear (and normal). Think Chutes & Ladders, not a straight line. You'll revisit layers like grief, anger, and acceptance—and that doesn't mean you're failing. Humility opens the door. Letting go of the “if I do everything right, bad things won't happen” myth creates room for curiosity, compassion, and real change. You're allowed to choose you. Boundaries, receiving support, and rewriting the narrative are acts of power. Your agency—not other people's opinions—defines your direction. Episode Highlights The “opening”: the moment you realize you can author a different story than the one you were handed. From people-pleasing to permission: upsetting others vs. honoring your inner yes. Mind-Body-Spirit integration: why meditation quiets the narrative so the body's intelligence can be heard. Community as medicine: when you can't hold the frequency, let safe containers hold it for you. Identity shifts: you are not your past roles (spouse, fixer, PTA star, marathoner); you are the one choosing what's next. Resources Mentioned Group meditation & mantra practice (Chopra Center origins) Lee Harris retreats/“Soul Magic” weekends Nature as regulation (beach, trees, grounding) A Course in Miracles prompt: “Am I willing to see this differently?” About Wendi With contagious joy and heart, all that Wendi Cohen offers is with the intention of healthy change. She has been a dynamic and instrumental force helping people from all over the world as an educator and mentor in the field of spirituality and wellness. Highly regarded for her many years at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, she managed and facilitated their signature program, Perfect Health. Working with Dr. Deepak Chopra and being involved with cutting edge research in meditation and Ayurveda there, Wendi has been up close and personal with the brightest minds in the wellness industry. Now working with Lee Harris Energy, she is the Director of Studio Operations and a producer who uses her creative prowess, intuition and vision to support transformational work. What makes her special in this field, is that she found meditation and mindfulness on her own path to healing after being diagnosed with a rare and chronic illness in 2003. Her insatiable curiosity and ability to think outside of the box led her to looking at integrative approaches. That is when she had profound shifts in her health and also fell in love with meditation. As a result of her journey, Wendi has a deep capacity to understand the many challenges people face when looking at healing and transformation. She is also a board certified Integrative NLP Practitioner and trained in Authentic Communication. Being of service is when Wendi is the happiest - supporting people so they feel more peaceful, clear, and grounded, experiencing more love and inspiration in their lives is what lights her up. Her mantra is "follow the fun" and that is EXACTLY what she hopes to inspire in others. The Humility of Healing... By Wendi Cohen Healing is often a misunderstood journey that reveals lessons in humility and the chance for deep learning, uncovering aspects of ourselves, if and only if, we are willing to look at them. By allowing and receiving, staying open and getting creative, thinking with our hearts while feeling our bodies, there can be some profound shifts in how we experience the challenge - whether it is physical, emotional or heart based. In my case, it was learning to navigate a new 'normal' after a life-changing diagnosis that rocked my world. My path has been messy while stunningly beautiful, scary and empowering - filled with moments I'd never ever want to revisit AND also so many moments of being the recipient of so much love and generosity, from unexpected places. When we have a better understanding that healing isn't necessarily linear - that it can be like a game of chutes and ladders or riding a roller coaster that takes your breath away, heart opening and heart breaking - but with the infusion of creativity, receptivity, a sense of humor and beginning new each day, it can become less jarring.  Now twenty years later, to have had the good fortune to learn and then work with some of the most extraordinary visionaries, teachers, healers, and with my clients, I am truly humbled by it all - the good, the challenging and what has yet to come.   Favorite Quote “Healing isn't something you do once and finish.

In this episode, Colette explores the liver, not just as an organ, but as your body's fire keeper, the great transformer of food, hormones, and emotions. Ayurveda teaches that the liver, or Yakrut, is the home of Pitta dosha and plays a vital role in keeping your inner fire balanced. During perimenopause, when hormones fluctuate and emotions rise and fall, the liver's workload increases making its care essential for digestion, mood, and overall vitality. You'll learn: How the liver acts as your body's master transformer, converting nutrients into energy, blood, and hormones The deep connection between liver health and perimenopausal symptoms such as irritability, hot flushes, and fatigue Why the liver is linked to fiery emotions and how awareness, forgiveness, and cooling habits can help soothe them Simple Ayurvedic strategies to support your liver through food, daily rhythm, and emotional balance The truth about alcohol in perimenopause and how even small amounts can impact your hormones, mood, and sleep How gentle lifestyle changes like bitter greens, herbal teas, cooling breath, and mindful eating can steady your inner flame This episode offers a holistic roadmap for nurturing your liver and balancing your hormones naturally through this transformative life stage. * Thanks to Kerala Ayurveda Academy for sponsoring this episode.

What if your mornings were the most peaceful, powerful part of your day? What would change in your life if you stopped waking up in chaos and started waking up in rhythm? And how much of your exhaustion is really about late nights—versus being out of sync with yourself? In this solo episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia explores the deeper side of becoming a morning person. It’s not about forcing productivity before sunrise—it’s about aligning with your body’s natural cycles, building a rhythm that supports you, and discovering purpose in how you begin your day. Radhi weaves together science, Ayurveda, and lived experience to share practical tools for better sleep, morning rituals, and cultivating energy that lasts. She shows how discipline can create freedom, why preparation matters more than motivation, and how gratitude and intention transform waking up into a sacred practice. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your body is already wired for mornings How routine restores energy, clarity, and focus The science behind sunlight, sleep, and circadian rhythms Why snoozing makes you groggier, not more rested Simple practices to make mornings feel light, not heavy How to root your mornings in optimism, gratitude, and purpose If you’ve ever wished you could stop dreading mornings, this episode will help you rethink not just when you wake up—but why.

Traditionell medicin möter modern forskning i en infekterad debatt om biverkningar, diagnoser och vetenskaplig granskning. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I södra Indien har en infekterad konflikt blossat upp mellan förespråkare för ayurvedisk medicin och forskare som granskar dess effekter. Ayurveda är ett av världens mest använda traditionella hälsosystem, men när forskare i Kerala upptäcker ett samband mellan örtpreparat och allvarliga leverskador väcks starka reaktioner.Tungmetaller som kvicksilver och arsenik hittas i flera produkter, vilket leder till juridiska strider, avpublicerade studier och försök att tysta kritiken. Samtidigt försvarar ayurvediska läkare sin metod och menar att västerländsk medicin saknar förståelse för kroppens balans. Diagnosmetoder, synen på vetenskap och kulturella värden kolliderar i en debatt som rör både hälsa och identitet.WHO öppnar ett nytt kontor för traditionell medicin i Indien, i hopp om att hårdare regleringar ska stärka patientsäkerheten. Vetenskapsradion möter forskare, läkare och ayurvedapraktiker i ett polariserat landskap där vetenskap och tradition står på kollisionskurs.Reporter: Annika Östmanannika.ostman@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

The Scented Secrets of Time: How to Use the Memory Palace to Master Essential Oil History 101 (w/ Grandpa Bill & Adah)Welcome to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour! In this week's double-feature, my granddaughter Adah and I tackle Essential Oils History 101—but we aren't just reading dates. We are building a powerful new wing in Adah's Mnemonic Memory Palace to make 6,500 years of aromatic history stick forever.The true power of essential oils isn't found in a recent fad; it's rooted in ancient, global healing systems. We track the evolution of aromatic use through four essential stops:The Pharaoh's Roll (4500 BC, Egypt): Our Memory Palace journey begins at the Front Door where we use the Major System code 45 (R-L / Roll). We picture a Pharaoh rolling a giant stone of Lapis Lazuli. This image encodes the earliest ritual and embalming use of essential oils like Frankincense and Myrrh.The Distiller's Toast (10th/11th Century, Avicenna): Next, in the Kitchen, we honor the man who revolutionized oil purity: Avicenna. Our mnemonic shows him toasting (code 10 / D-S) his hands over a fire and tending to a giant Distiller (code 11 / D-T). This is the birthplace of modern distillation!The Chemist's Tip (1928, Gattefossé): Moving to the Study Desk, we encounter René-Maurice Gattefossé (pronounced Gah-teh-foh-say), who coined "aromatherapy" in 1928. To remember the date, we visualize Gattefossé in a panic, tipping (code 19) a beaker of lavender onto a Navy (code 28) uniform. Accident turned to discovery!The Doctor's Roar (WWII, Dr. Valnet): Our final stop on the Balcony brings us to Dr. Valnet. During the 1940s, he successfully used oils to treat wounded soldiers. Valnet is roaring (code 44 / R-R) at a giant Radio (code 44) to share his findings with the world.Whether you're a college student like Adah or a fellow "Silver Streaker" looking to sharpen your cognitive edge, the Magnetic Memory Method works. Tune into the podcast for the deep healing wisdom and watch the YouTube video to see the PAO system brought to life!Listen to the full episode on the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour, and watch the visual mnemonic demonstration on YouTube @billholt8792!Why History Matters to Holistic HealthMaster the MemoryEssential oils 101-Our journey begins not with modern labs, but with the cradle of civilization, tracing the use of aromatic materials back nearly 6,500 years.

“Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.” — Lora Cheadle “Healing” gets thrown around a lot—but in real life it's messy, non-linear, and humbling. In this intimate conversation, Lora and healer/mentor Wendi (formerly of the Chopra Center; now on the Lee Harris team) unpack what healing actually looks like after infidelity, health crises, and identity rupture—and why your “opening” matters more than any timeline. If you've ever wondered, Why don't I feel better yet? Am I doing this wrong?—this episode is for you. Lora and Wendi reveal the lived truth of recovery: three steps forward, two back; grief cycling; learning to receive; and choosing yourself even when others don't approve. You'll hear how meditation created space beyond the mind, why the body never lies, how community can “hold the frequency” when you can't, and the liberating shift from I am my story to I write my story. Expect practical reframes you can use today—especially if you're a high-achieving woman who's tired of doing it all alone.   Top 3 Takeaways Healing is non-linear (and normal). Think Chutes & Ladders, not a straight line. You'll revisit layers like grief, anger, and acceptance—and that doesn't mean you're failing. Humility opens the door. Letting go of the “if I do everything right, bad things won't happen” myth creates room for curiosity, compassion, and real change. You're allowed to choose you. Boundaries, receiving support, and rewriting the narrative are acts of power. Your agency—not other people's opinions—defines your direction. Episode Highlights The “opening”: the moment you realize you can author a different story than the one you were handed. From people-pleasing to permission: upsetting others vs. honoring your inner yes. Mind-Body-Spirit integration: why meditation quiets the narrative so the body's intelligence can be heard. Community as medicine: when you can't hold the frequency, let safe containers hold it for you. Identity shifts: you are not your past roles (spouse, fixer, PTA star, marathoner); you are the one choosing what's next. Resources Mentioned Group meditation & mantra practice (Chopra Center origins) Lee Harris retreats/“Soul Magic” weekends Nature as regulation (beach, trees, grounding) A Course in Miracles prompt: “Am I willing to see this differently?”   About Wendi With contagious joy and heart, all that Wendi Cohen offers is with the intention of healthy change.   She has been a dynamic and instrumental force helping people from all over the world as an educator and mentor in the field of spirituality and wellness. Highly regarded for her many years at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, she managed and facilitated their signature program, Perfect Health. Working with Dr. Deepak Chopra and being involved with cutting edge research in meditation and Ayurveda there, Wendi has been up close and personal with the brightest minds in the wellness industry. Now working with Lee Harris Energy, she is the Director of Studio Operations and a producer who uses her creative prowess, intuition and vision to support transformational work. What makes her special in this field, is that she found meditation and mindfulness on her own path to healing after being diagnosed with a rare and chronic illness in 2003. Her insatiable curiosity and ability to think outside of the box led her to looking at integrative approaches. That is when she had profound shifts in her health and also fell in love with meditation. As a result of her journey, Wendi has a deep capacity to understand the many challenges people face when looking at healing and transformation. She is also a board certified Integrative NLP Practitioner and trained in Authentic Communication. Being of service is when Wendi is the happiest - supporting people so they feel more peaceful, clear, and grounded, experiencing more love and inspiration in their lives is what lights her up. Her mantra is "follow the fun" and that is EXACTLY what she hopes to inspire in others.   The Humility of Healing..... By Wendi Cohen   Healing is often a misunderstood journey that reveals lessons in humility and the chance for deep learning, uncovering aspects of ourselves, if and only if, we are willing to look at them. By allowing and receiving, staying open and getting creative, thinking with our hearts while feeling our bodies, there can be some profound shifts in how we experience the challenge - whether it is physical, emotional or heart based. In my case, it was learning to navigate a new 'normal' after a life-changing diagnosis that rocked my world. My path has been messy while stunningly beautiful, scary and empowering - filled with moments I'd never ever want to revisit AND also so many moments of being the recipient of so much love and generosity, from unexpected places. When we have a better understanding that healing isn't necessarily linear - that it can be like a game of chutes and ladders or riding a roller coaster that takes your breath away, heart opening and heart breaking - but with the infusion of creativity, receptivity, a sense of humor and beginning new each day, it can become less jarring.  Now twenty years later, to have had the good fortune to learn and then work with some of the most extraordinary visionaries, teachers, healers, and with my clients, I am truly humbled by it all - the good, the challenging and what has yet to come.   Favorite Quote “Healing isn't something you do once and finish. It's the willingness to meet yourself again and again—with humility, curiosity, and love.” — Wendi

In this transformative episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, we sit down with Jennifer Kenney-Smith — a radiant force of healing and transformation who turned her own burnout into a sacred awakening.
