In this rich and heartfelt conversation, Amy Wheeler sits down with Canadian yoga therapist and author Leila Stuart to explore her life's journey through yoga, Ayurveda, chronic illness, and the groundbreaking field of experiential anatomy.Leila shares how yoga first saved her as a 19-year-old in debilitating back pain, again when chronic fatigue and inflammatory arthritis nearly ended her career, and finally when Ayurveda and Panchakarma restored her vitality. Through these challenges, she developed a unique approach to anatomy—one that goes beyond memorization to help people truly feel their bodies from the inside out.Together, Amy and Leila unpack the profound role of interoception (the ability to sense internal states), the therapeutic power of somatics, and the importance of teaching anatomy as a lived experience. They also discuss the “golden thread” that guides each of us toward our dharma—even in times of suffering.This episode is both a personal healing story and a teaching in embodied practice, offering hope, inspiration, and practical insights for yoga therapists, teachers, and anyone seeking wholeness.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe difference between therapeutic yoga and yoga therapyHow yoga and Ayurveda supported Leila through back pain, chronic fatigue, and arthritisThe concept of experiential anatomy and why it's transformational for students and practitionersHow interoception and somatic awareness rewire the brain-body connectionGentle ways to support people who feel “numb” or disconnected from their bodyWhy beauty, simplicity, and embodiment matter in both healing and teachingThe importance of finding your dharma—and how it can become a pathway to healingAbout Leila StuartLeila Stuart is a yoga therapist, somatic movement educator, and author dedicated to bringing experiential anatomy to the forefront of yoga therapy education.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Dr. Ulrich Bauhofer – Deutschlands bekanntestem Ayurveda-Arzt – über die Schnittmengen von Ayurveda und ganzheitlicher Präventionsmedizin. Wir diskutieren, wie traditionelle Konzepte mit aktueller Longevity-Forschung zusammenfinden, wo evidenzbasierte Daten vorliegen und wo Beobachtung und Erfahrung tragen. Außerdem geht es um personalisierte Lebensstilstrategien, Rasayanas, Ernährung, Schlaf, Bewegung – und die oft unterschätzte Rolle von Sinn und Glück für Healthy Longevity. In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen: - Warum braucht unser Gesundheitssystem einen Paradigmenwechsel hin zur Prävention? - Wie lassen sich Doshas als „Bioprogramme“ in heutige wissenschaftliche Sprache übersetzen? - In welchem Maße sind Dosha-Prägungen genetisch versus lebensstilabhängig? - Welche Schnittmengen bestehen zwischen mitochondrialer Energieproduktion und dem Pitta-Konzept? - Wo liegen Chancen und Grenzen von Repurposed Drugs (z. B. Metformin, Rapamycin) in der Prävention? - Wie bewerten wir Evidenz: jahrtausendelange Erfahrung vs. aktuelle Studien mit Bioverfügbarkeit und Langzeiteffekten? - Was bedeutet „Ama“ im biomedizinischen Verständnis (Entzündungen, Umweltgifte, Zellmüll, Leaky Gut)? - Welche Ernährungsempfehlungen sind typgerecht sinnvoll – und wo kollidieren sie mit moderner Ernährungsforschung? - Warum betont Ayurveda heißes Wasser und welche physiologischen Effekte werden angenommen? - Welche Bedeutung haben Schlaf, Sinn und Beziehungen für gesunde Langlebigkeit – jenseits reiner Biomarker? - Was können Hörer:innen sofort umsetzen, um „aktiv zu verjüngen“ – evidenzbasiert und alltagsnah?

In this solo episode, Darin Olien explores one of the most overlooked yet revealing health topics: the truth about wisdom teeth. What if removing your wisdom teeth isn't just unnecessary — but harmful? What if this long-standing dental ritual has more to do with profits than prevention, and its removal may even disconnect us from our body's natural energy flow? From evolutionary biology to energetic meridians, Darin unpacks why wisdom teeth might hold more "wisdom" than modern dentistry admits — and how to make truly informed choices for yourself or your kids.     What You'll Learn in This Episode [00:00:00] Welcome to SuperLife – Darin introduces the show's mission: real solutions for a healthier, more sovereign life [00:00:32] Sponsor – ENERGYbits Spirulina & Chlorella: why Darin takes them daily for clean cellular fuel [00:01:52] Today's focus – "The wisdom in wisdom teeth": are we pulling them too soon and for the wrong reasons? [00:02:24] Why this topic matters – Darin's personal story of keeping all four wisdom teeth and what that revealed [00:03:31] The cultural norm – How mass extraction became a teenage "rite of passage" [00:04:01] Our ancestors and evolution – Bigger jaws, tougher food, and natural spacing [00:05:00] The breathing connection – How mouth breathing and modern diets may cause jaw constriction [00:06:01] The science gap – Cochrane review shows no strong evidence for routine removal [00:06:46] The silent epidemic – 10 million wisdom teeth removed yearly in the U.S., costing $3 billion [00:07:17] Permanent damage – 11,000 people a year experience nerve injury from unnecessary surgery [00:08:04] When removal is necessary – infection, cysts, tumors, or impaction (and how to know the difference) [00:08:33] The second opinion rule – Why you should always consult a holistic or biological dentist [00:09:11] Questioning authority – Extraction as an automatic response vs. an evidence-based decision [00:11:19] Follow the money – How profit motives keep unnecessary procedures alive [00:12:15] Cultural conditioning – "Just pull them" and how fear has shaped dentistry [00:12:47] Watchful waiting – Why monitoring can be a wise, legitimate option [00:12:58] The energetic layer – How teeth connect to meridians, organs, and your body's electrical system [00:13:46] Ancient knowledge – TCM and Ayurveda understood these energy flows long before modern medicine [00:14:03] The spiritual symbolism – Wisdom teeth as a rite of passage into maturity and integration [00:14:17] Energy interconnection – Removing one element affects the entire energetic system [00:15:05] The Western blind spot – Our medical model ignores the body's bioelectric reality [00:15:39] The real risks – Nerve damage, chronic pain, and post-surgical trauma are far more common than discussed [00:15:57] Economics over evidence – How financial incentives outweigh long-term wellness [00:16:08] The forgotten holistic view – Why true healing means considering biology, energy, and emotion together [00:16:22] What you can do – Get informed, ask questions, and don't rush to extraction [00:16:44] Empowerment checklist – Imaging, second opinions, and trusting your intuition [00:17:02] Keep your power – Don't give your health decisions away to "white coats" or outdated systems [00:17:24] If surgery is unavoidable – Do it consciously: prepare, recover, and restore energetically [00:17:50] Pre/post-surgery support – Rest, meditation, and mineral-rich nutrition [00:18:02] The deeper truth – Wisdom teeth represent the intersection of biology, energy, and consciousness [00:18:23] Final message – Stay informed, stay connected, and embrace the wisdom in your own body     Thank You to Our Sponsors EnergyBits: Get 20% off your entire order by going to https://energybits.com/ and using code DARIN at checkout.

When we rush to extract, cut, or suppress without understanding, we lose connection to the deeper wisdom it's offering. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is wait, listen, and trust the design that created you."     Bibliography of Referenced Studies Cochrane Review (Systematic Review) Study Title: Surgical removal versus retention for the management of asymptomatic disease-free impacted wisdom teeth Author/Source: Ghaeminia H, et al. Publication: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2020; CD003879 Key Finding: There is insufficient evidence to support or refute the routine removal of asymptomatic impacted wisdom teeth, and no eligible studies reported on the effects of removal on health-related quality of life. Public Health Critique on Prophylactic Extraction Study Title: The Prophylactic Extraction of Third Molars: A Public Health Hazard Author: Jay W. Friedman, DDS, MPH Publication: American Journal of Public Health (AJPH), 2007; 97(9):1554–1559 Key Finding: Approximately two-thirds of extractions may be unnecessary, calling mass extraction a "silent epidemic of iatrogenic injury." M3BE Study Study Title: Prophylactic vs. symptomatic third molar removal: effects on patient postoperative morbidity Key Finding: Older patients are more at risk for complications (such as nerve injury and persistent pain), confirming that removal has real consequences. Clinical Guidelines (AAOMS) Source: American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) Title: Third Molar Surgical Guidelines Key Finding: Identifies Pericoronitis as one of the most common indications for surgical removal. Pathology Studies (Cysts/Tumors) Subject: Odontogenic cysts associated with impacted third molars Key Finding: While rare, cysts can erode jawbone and damage neighboring teeth, making this a valid medical reason for removal. Retrospective Complications Study Study Title: Retrospective Oman study: Complications of Third Molar Extraction Key Finding: Referenced in the context of risks and complications associated with extraction.

In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode of the Elements of Ayurveda Podcast, Colette is joined by her sister, Niamh, an Occupational Therapist who specializes in mental health for children and young adults. Together, they explore Niamh's honest and vulnerable journey through perimenopause, a time that tested even her professional understanding of the mind and her long-time relationship with Ayurvedic living. Despite her professional knowledge of mental health and years of practicing Ayurvedic principles, Niamh found herself facing out-of-character symptoms and a sense of losing control, especially during intense hot flushes and cognitive difficulties. This conversation offers a compassionate look at what it means to navigate hormonal shifts when even your best tools seem to fall short. Colette and Niamh discuss how Ayurveda supported her self-understanding, how she began to view her therapeutic work through a new lens, and how the Ayurvedic Digestive Reset Cleanse helped her find stability amidst the fluctuations of perimenopause. They also talk about Niamh's integration of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) as part of her perimenopausal journey. This episode is a reminder that perimenopause is not just a hormonal transition, it's an invitation to deepen self-awareness, compassion, and connection to one's true rhythm. In this episode, we discuss: The impact Ayurveda had on Niamh's self-understanding How she applies Ayurvedic wisdom in her work as an Occupational Therapist The out-of-character symptoms that surprised her during perimenopause How the Digestive Reset Cleanse helped rebalance her system Her ongoing journey integrating Ayurvedic practices with the hormonal support provided by modern medicine Resources & Links Mentioned: Dr. Lisa Mosconi – Neuroscientist specializing in women's brain health Digestive Reset Cleanse – Next group discounted cleanse begins January 23, 2026 Take the ama (toxin) quiz! - Do I have an accumulation of ama/toxins in my body?  Elements of Ayurveda Podcast Community – Join the community for connection and seasonal guidance Coriander Hima (cold infusion) recipe Check out Colette's online services:  Online Consultations At-home Digestive Reset Cleanse Online Daily Habits for Holistic Health Program Have questions on Colette's online services? Book a FREE 15 min Services Enquiry Call here.

Everyone's chasing the secret to living longer, from supplements and genetic testing to cutting-edge longevity labs. But long before biohacking became a trend, Ayurveda had already mapped out a complete system for graceful aging, beginning with one simple truth: your gut is the gateway to your years.In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, we are joined by Dr. Sudhindra Uppoor, an Ayurveda doctor with a post graduate degree in Ayurveda Medicine, to explore how ancient wisdom and modern science intersect when it comes to gut health, vitality, and aging well. We dive into how a strong Agni (digestive fire) fuels energy, clarity, and immunity, and how toxins (Ama) formed by poor digestion silently accelerate aging. You'll learn why gut balance determines not just how long you live but how alive you feel.Dr. Uppoor also shares practical Ayurvedic tools you can start today to strengthen digestion, support hormonal balance, and extend your healthspan, from simple meal timings and daily rituals to herbs like Triphala and fenugreek that promote cellular rejuvenation. This episode also explores key Ayurvedic and lifestyle insights that can guide you toward better health. We discuss how balanced digestion, mindful eating, and living in sync with natural rhythms create the foundation for vitality and longevity. You'll also hear how Ayurveda's timeless wisdom connects to modern science on metabolism, inflammation, and the microbiome, offering a holistic, practical path to lifelong wellness.This episode isn't about chasing eternal youth; it's about learning to live in rhythm with your body so you can age with grace, strength, and peace. You'll walk away with a renewed understanding of how your gut shapes your energy, mood, and longevity, and simple tools to start feeling better from the inside out.For a transcript of this show, go to https://wellnesscurated.life/gut-health-longevity-ayurvedic-secrets/Leave a review

Kennst du das Gefühl, ständig eine verstopfte Nase zu haben – besonders in der kalten Jahreszeit? In dieser kurzen Folge spricht Ursula über eine einfache, aber wirkungsvolle Routine: die tägliche Nasenspülung. Sie erzählt, wie sie selbst jahrelang mit Nebenhöhlenbeschwerden zu tun hatte und wie sich durch die regelmäßige Nasenreinigung vieles verändert hat – nicht nur die Atmung, sondern auch das allgemeine Wohlbefinden. Im Ayurveda gilt die Nasenspülung als ebenso selbstverständlich wie Händewaschen: Sie schützt vor Infekten, klärt die Sinne, stärkt die Konzentration und hält die Schleimhäute gesund. **Du möchtest tiefer ins Tun kommen?** Dieser Impuls stammt direkt aus unserem JADEFLOWER108 Online Circle!

Dear Friends, I took so many notes during this conversation!  In this illuminating episode of Gateways to Awakening, host I speak with Candice Covington, author of Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice and Vibrational Nutrition and her latest book,  Floral Absolutes: Aromatic Healing for the Physical, Emotional, and Energy Body, about the living intelligence of the plant world — and how food, scent, and essence each carry unique energetic signatures that can shape our consciousness.Drawing from her background in Ayurveda, aromatherapy, and energy medicine, Candice reveals how every plant, from okra to rose, raspberry to pomegranate, holds a vibrational pattern that mirrors aspects of the human soul. She explains how subtle energies from plants can help us restore emotional balance, clear karmic imprints, protect our energetic boundaries, and even catalyze creativity and heart awakening. Whether you're new to the language of subtle energy or already working with essential oils and vibrational healing, this conversation will remind you that plants are living blueprints of the divine reflections of our own multidimensional intelligence.We talk about the following and more:1) The connection between vibrational nutrition, flower and food energetics, and archetypal forces in nature — showing how plants are not passive resources, but conscious allies in our evolution. 2) Why certain foods call to you at specific moments, how to select oils for emotional healing and protection, and how the act of eating, anointing, or smelling becomes a sacred dialogue with life itself.3) Tangible guidance for empaths, creatives, and anyone seeking to reclaim their vitality and inner sovereignty through plant consciousness.If this episode spoke to you: please share it, tag us @Gateways_To_Awakening, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts — it helps these conversations reach more people. For more from me: follow my writing on Substack (substack.com/@therealyasmeent), find me on Instagram @TheRealYasmeenT, or visit InnerKnowingSchool.com.

Most paddlers are trying to build courage and skill on top of a shaky foundation — and they don't even know it. In this solo episode, I break down why so many paddlers (and humans!) focus on the wrong thing when they're trying to improve. Whether it's your roll falling apart, your eddy peel-outs feeling frantic, or the ever-present fear of being underwater (or in any challenge that doesn't seem to ever go away), chances are you're working on symptoms instead of the actual root. And when you build on a weak foundation? It only holds for so long… until it doesn't. Inside this episode, you'll learn:

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I'm joined by the luminous Dr. Shivani Gupta, founder of Fusionary Formulas and author of The Inflammation Code. Shivani's story begins with a home full of mold, hair loss, and a reminder that even the healthiest among us can get blindsided by hidden toxins. What followed was a journey of deep functional medicine testing, emotional regulation, and fierce self-advocacy—proof that healing is never linear.We talk about the real root of “inflamma-aging,” why brain fog and fatigue are not normal, and how inflammation is at the center of most chronic disease. Shivani breaks down the six Ayurvedic pillars of anti-inflammatory living, the importance of circadian alignment (especially the 10–2 window), and why tea time is more than self-care—it's medicine.From tongue scraping and turmeric to sleep hygiene and self-awareness, this episode is full of accessible practices that bring ancient rituals into modern life. Whether you're battling burnout, navigating hormonal chaos, or simply ready to feel more alive, Shivani's wisdom will help you rewrite your own inflammation code. Episode Highlights[00:00] – Living with mold: the surprise diagnosis that changed everything[03:30] – Mold dogs, remediation, and the truth about “healthy homes”[06:40] – Why no supplement can fix a toxic environment[09:10] – Genetic resilience, functional testing, and understanding bio-individuality[13:05] – Hair loss as a metabolic signal and the timeline of toxic exposure[17:00] – Fear, mindset, and emotional regulation during mold recovery[18:52] – The Inflammation Code: aging, Ayurveda, and winning at inflammation[22:45] – Cycles, seasons, and building your Ayurvedic circadian rhythm[26:19] – Mental inflammation: the hidden driver of burnout and disease[30:40] – Building an anti-inflammatory lifestyle from the ground up[36:57] – Why doctors stay in their lanes—and why you must self-advocate[39:22] – Pitta, Kapha, and using fire time for healing and repair[45:24] – Ayurvedic sleep rituals and the power of forgiveness in wellness[47:21] – Tea time is me time: micro-moments of self-care that change your biology[53:37] – The 12 daily rituals for detox, digestion, and emotional balance[55:15] – Tongue scraping, turmeric, and the simple tools that actually work[58:56] – How to cycle supplements, build awareness, and measure results[1:01:26] – The spreadsheet of supplements: data meets intuition[1:03:02] – Big love, big lessons, and the path to sustainable healingConnect With Dr. ShivaniDr. Shivani Gupta: https://drshivani.comThe Inflammation Code (Preorder): https://theinflammationcode.comGet Your UpgradeVisionary Formulas: https://fusionaryformulas.com/?sca_ref=9671297.FAK6ESUdt3R9--- Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENThe Biological Blueprint Program: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCatchBio: https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN   CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Prolific, five-time James Beard Award-winning cookbook author Dorie Greenspan is the queen of sweets, and she just released her 15th cookbook, Dorie’s Anytime Cakes. Famous for her beloved World Peace Cookies and many baking books, including one she wrote with Julia Child, it's not surprising that Dorie wants to start and end her last meal with dessert. What's wrong with eating dessert first, anyway? Rachel chats with Ayurvedic counselor Jodi Boone about the life-bettering benefits of starting your meal with sweets. And when Dorie told Rachel she ate the same exact lunch every single day for years, the first person we thought of was Donald Gorske. Gorske has eaten almost nothing but McDonald's Big Macs since 1972, putting his current Big Mac count at over 35,000. Rachel called the Fond du Lac, Wisconsin native on his flip phone to learn why the man eats two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun ... Every. Single. Day. Become a Cascade PBS member and support public media! Watch Rachel’s Cascade PBS TV show The Nosh with Rachel Belle.

In this episode of the Elements of Ayurveda Podcast, we're exploring a truly beautiful concept in Ayurvedic wisdom, Sneha, a Sanskrit word that means both oil and love. And that's no coincidence. Sneha is the essence of softness, warmth, and care that keeps our body, mind, and heart supple. It's both nourishment and an act of conscious love, a daily reminder that tending to ourselves is not selfish, but sacred. In this episode, Colette shares how Sneha can be practiced both externally through self-oiling rituals like abhyanga, and internally through nourishing fats such as ghee or medicated oils. You'll also discover how Sneha softens not only the physical body but also the mind and emotions, helping to cultivate resilience, calm, and compassion in your daily life. In this episode, you'll learn: The dual meaning of Sneha in Sanskrit and why oiling is an act of love The difference between external Sneha and internal Sneha  How Sneha supports physical health, from joint mobility and skin nourishment to digestion and immunity The emotional and psychological benefits of Sneha for calming Vata, reducing stress, and fostering self-compassion How to personalize your Sneha practice for each dosha and season Simple, daily Sneha rituals you can try at home, even if you only have a few minutes Links & Resources Sponsor: Kerala Ayurveda Academy – Advance your Ayurvedic education with the Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner (AAP) Program.

Author and Ayurvedic practitioner Heather Grzych explores the tragic and complex history of the swastika — a sacred symbol of well-being and auspiciousness in Indian traditions that was later twisted by the Nazis into one of the most feared emblems of hatred in modern history. Heather traces how the symbol's meaning shifted as it crossed cultural and historical boundaries, reflecting on how words and images can be deliberately or unconsciously transformed over time. Drawing from her background in Ayurveda, as a writer, and her personal experience as an American mother of child from a Jewish lineage, she asks whether a symbol can ever be healed, and how awareness, empathy, and communication might help us reconnect to the body of meaning beneath the wounds of history. 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. 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. Her podcast, Wisdom of the Body, holds an average rating of 5 stars on Apple Podcasts and is in the top 2.5% of podcasts globally.  Connect with Heather: Learn more at www.heathergrzych.com   Instagram.com/heathergrzych Facebook.com/grzychheather   Read the first six pages of The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility for FREE: https://www.heathergrzych.com   Connect with Heather to balance your health with Ayurveda: https://www.heathergrzych.com/book-online

Send us a textEn este episodio hablo de mi ultimo retiro en  India, de los días en el ashram, de las meditaciones profundas y de ese recordatorio constante de que lo divino no está afuera, sino en lo simple.Reflexiono sobre cómo, con los años, mi relación con la espiritualidad ha cambiado: antes buscaba portales, rituales, signos en el cielo… hoy busco presencia. Antes necesitaba prender una vela o encender el incienso para “entrar en conexión”, hoy encuentro esa conexión en lo cotidiano: en una taza de té, en mirar el cielo, en el silencio.También hablo del Divine Timing, ese tiempo perfecto que no controlamos, de cómo confiar en lo que no sabemos —si habrá un próximo retiro en India o no, si la vida me llevará por otro camino— y rendirnos a la sabiduría que tiene su propio ritmo.Y sí, toco el tema del 11:11 y los llamados “portales energéticos”. No para negar su simbolismo, sino para recordar que el verdadero portal no se abre con fechas, sino con presencia. Que la magia está aquí, ahora, en la vida sencilla, en la práctica diaria de confiar. gracias por escucharme, amo compartir con ustedes ! hasta siempre, Luz www.luzorea.com instagram: @luzorea_ Support the show

What if the symptoms you're trying to fix, fatigue, bloating, anxiety, weight change, are really your body's way of asking you to listen? Today on Rooted in Wellness, me and my guest Dr. GuyCitrin, explore the intricate connection between the gut, hormones, and nervous system, and how inflammation and stress create the “stuck” feeling so many women describe.

Arnaud traces his journey from a wellness-focused childhood in France to leading multi-property spa operations for Four Seasons, outlining how the role of the spa director has evolved into a strategic, revenue-driving position. Along the way, he unpacks new models in sleep health, retreat design, performance diagnostics, and the subtle art of teaching guests to listen inward instead of endlessly chasing external fixes. What You'll Learn: How the spa business has shifted from "nice-to-have" amenity to strategic, performance-driven revenue center in luxury hospitality Why today's therapists must act as wellness experts, guiding guests with personalized education, not just delivering treatments How Four Seasons Costa Rica blends ancestral healing practices with modern technology to create memorable, differentiated guest experiences A behind-the-scenes look at Peak Performance programs, including MRI, bloodwork, sleep analysis, and lifestyle interventions designed for long-term change Practical insights into creative discipline, how structure, time-blocking, and constraints can actually unlock innovation for spa leaders and wellness entrepreneurs Episode Highlights: 01:10 – What does a Senior Director of Wellness, Spa & Retail actually do across multiple Four Seasons properties? 07:45 – From hippie upbringing to Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and tuba: how early influences shaped Arnaud's view of holistic wellness 16:30 – The evolution of the spa director role: from "just keep guests happy" to driving revenue, strategy, and innovation 24:05 – Designing memorable spa concepts by merging ancestral rituals with modern technology at Four Seasons Costa Rica 32:50 – Inside the Wellness Chalet and wellness villa: building retreat-style experiences within a luxury resort environment 41:20 – How the Peak Performance program uses diagnostics and lifestyle intervention instead of quick-fix "biohacks" 48:40 – The Sleep Box: a curated toolkit for travelers that turns any room into a personalized sleep lab 55:15 – Discipline, creativity, and inner listening: Arnaud's prediction for the future of wellness and hospitality Meet the Guest: Arnaud Dieutegard is the Senior Director of Wellness, Spa & Retail at Four Seasons Costa Rica, where he oversees on-property operations and supports multiple Four Seasons spas across the Americas. With a background that spans aesthetics, holistic therapies, music, and hospitality leadership, Arnaud is known for designing wellness concepts that are financially sound, culturally authentic, and deeply human.   Tools, Frameworks, or Strategies Mentioned: Cluster Wellness Leadership Model – Supporting several Four Seasons properties with shared expertise, concept development, and operational insight Ancestral + Tech Integration Framework – Designing experiences that pair local rituals (cacao, Ayurvedic and Chinese influences, Costa Rican ingredients) with modern modalities and devices Wellness Chalet & Wellness Villa Retreat Model – A contained, retreat-style environment inside a resort, where guests follow a pre-designed, stress-free wellness program Peak Performance Program – A high-touch, data-driven lifestyle intervention that includes: Pre-arrival MRI, blood panels, and at-home sleep study On-site coaching and analysis with a human performance physician Personalized supplement and habit recommendations Six months of post-stay follow-up with a multidisciplinary clinical team Sleep Box Toolkit – A curated sleep optimization kit including a continuous-measurement sleep ring, red-light panel, breathing tools, blue-light blockers, masks, and travel-friendly accessories Creative Discipline Framework – Time-blocked "creative workshops," constraints-based creation (like limiting instruments or colors), and structured routines that allow innovation without chaos Closing Insight: At its core, this episode is about shifting wellness from "more" to "meaningful." Arnaud reminds us that the next wave in hospitality isn't just about bigger menus or more technology, it's about teaching guests to notice their own cues, trust their bodies, and integrate what they learn after they go home. As he puts it, real transformation happens when discipline, creativity, and inner listening finally align.   Looking for expert advice in Spa Consulting, with live training and online learning?   Spa Consulting: wynnebusiness.com/spa-management-consulting Live Training: wynnebusiness.com/live-education Online Learning: wynnebusiness.com/spa-management-courses   Other Links: Connect with Arnaud Dieutegard: linkedin.com/in/arnaud-dieutegard   Follow Lisa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisastarrwynnebusiness, Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/starrcast/id1565223226 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/00tW92ruuwangYoLxR9WDd Watch the StarrCast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wynnebusiness Join us on Facebook: facebook.com/wynnebusiness/?ref=bookmarks Join us on Instagram: instagram.com/wynnebusiness

In Yoga, daily actions become sacred moments we experience with awareness and surrender.In this episode, Myra Lewin explores two of the niyamas from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: svadhyaya (self-study or reflection) and ishvara pranidhana (surrender to the divine). Together, they illuminate the inner path of Yoga: refining the mind so it doesn't run (or ruin) the show, but instead serves the heart.Through reflections from her practice and personal life, Myra shares how these teachings support us to:Observe our thoughts and motivations without judgmentLet go of the illusion of control and rest in trustBalance discipline (tapas) with humility and devotionCultivate a life guided by peace, clarity, and loveWhen self-reflection meets surrender, grace begins to move through our lives, and we remember Yoga isn't something we do, but a way of being in relationship with the divine in all things.If leading others on the path of healing feels like your dharma, we invite you to apply now for a 1:1 clarity call with a member of our team so you can determine if one of our trainings is the right fit for you.
