Dr. Jayarajan Kodikannath, B.Sc, B.A.M.S, whom we lovingly call “Dr. J," is a world-renowned Ayurvedic doctor and the former President of NAMA (the National Ayurvedic Medical Association). An esteemed scholar, researcher, and teacher, he represents a lineage of Vaidyas from Kerala, India. As the CEO of Kerala Ayurveda Academy and Wellness Center in Northern California—where Sasha is  currently completing her doctorate—Dr. J has played a pivotal role in advancing Ayurvedic education and clinical research. His work includes leading research on Ayurvedic wellness solutions, with a recently patented herbal composition for managing metabolic syndrome disorders such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and lipid imbalances.Dr. J is also the author of The Parent's Complete Guide to Ayurveda: Principles, Practices, and Recipes for Happy, Healthy Kids, a practical and user-friendly resource offering over 50 Ayurvedic wellness practices for children ages 3–16. With over two decades of clinical experience, he has focused extensively on pediatric health and mental well-being.Above all, Dr. J is a compassionate healer and educator, dedicated to sharing the consciousness-based teachings of Ayurveda across the globe. As Sasha's own teacher, he embodies the Divine Father and Ayurveda itself, guiding his students with wisdom, humility, and love.Today, in part one of our three-part series on Ayurveda for Happy and Healthy Kids, we explore a topic close to both our hearts. We begin with Prana—the primordial life force—its role in childhood development, and its impact on cognitive health. We also discuss:The Ayurvedic perspective on childhood growth and developmentCommon childhood imbalances and their root causesThe role of parents in their children's healthThe impact of stress and environmental factors on kidsThe controversial use of pharmaceuticals for behavioral challengesBreaking cycles of sleep deprivation for parentsBalancing structured activities with free, unstructured playtimeThe healing power of nature and the innate healing capacity within us allIt seems fitting that Dr. J wrote a book on conscious, loving Ayurvedic parenting—because that is exactly what he offers us as his students. He doesn't just teach Ayurveda; he embodies it, sharing from his heart rather than merely his vast knowledge. His wisdom flows effortlessly, granting all of us in his presence the blessing of Darshan—Divine sight.Send us a textSupport the showTo learn more about us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram

Podcast Intro: When people get diagnosed with something either chronic or terminal, they suddenly are at the mercy of their doctors. Because of the overwhelming, people don't always feel competent to stand in their own truth or even ask the right questions.  Many people try to fight diseases with therapy. Unfortunately for others, healing from chronic diseases isn't for them. With the usage of Cannabis and other THC products, people have had the chance to heal and even have much better health in life.  In this episode, Joanna Matson-Tandberg will share her experiences with cannabis and how it is transforming the medicine industry. Stay tuned! What you'll get out of tuning in: How can cannabis aid in the healing of a disease? Can you treat cancer with gummies or other stuff that is sugar-based? What is sublingual? Links/CTA: Yogahealer ongoing FREE Workshops http://zvbotanicals.com https://www.instagram.com/zvrebelwellness/ Highlights: We have a global mental health crisis magnified by and contributes to chronic sleep problems and digestive issues. People need and want to feel empowered and more in control; to be able to do more on their own to improve their health and wellbeing. For people to gain freedom and independence in their lives, and to take back control of their bodies and mind, they need hope, wisdom, and change. We need integrated approaches to self-care, self-love, and daily living routines and habits. People are hungry to learn and access the tools necessary to find contentment in life and freedom to handle daily stress and still stay balanced, grounded, and connected. Magazine Interview Hemp 101- The Basics by Veronica Castillo The French Toast: “The Connection Between Ayurveda, Cannabis, And Psychedelics” by Becky Garrison Radio Interview about Ayurveda on the NOWe show in Canada Cate highlighted that cardiovascular disease is a disease of chronic inflammation. Cate shares her thoughts that there's so much variability in guiding members in a course in terms of the medicine and the dose.  Cate tells a moment when she's going against the culture. Timestamps: [01:28] The Guest's Background [04:57] Using THC Oil to treat Cancer  [10:17] Understanding Cardiovascular Diseases [13:50] Cancer Death Rates  [15:50} The Variability of Ayurvedic Medicine  [18:24] Consuming Cannabis Edibles [20:20] The Ideal Therapeutic Way to Receive Cannabis [22:28] Where people get their own THC Products [26:13] Going Against Culture  [31:13] Venturing into Cannabis Treatments [40:36] Getting Control  [41:27] The Plant Medicine and Pill Culture [46:57] The Citizen Data  [52:51] Plant-Based Products Quotes: “Eat the cannabis in an edible form. You're going to feel the effects about eight times more than if you're doing a sublingual or a suppository because the way cannabis is metabolized through the liver gives you eight times the increase of sensation.” “It's easy to feel crazy when you're counterculture, but it makes so much sense in your own body and intuition. You feel that you are violating yourself when you venture into something not accepted by a common culture.” Eventually, you start to get your freedom back. You create your power source inside yourself. There is intelligence so much greater than we understand and so much greater than we have. Even though these plants have incredible healing powers, they also have poison powers because too much of anything is bad.” Guest Bio: Joanna Matson-Tandberg ZV Botanicals Founder & CEO, Joanna (Jo) Matson-Tandberg Joanna is the founder and CEO of ZV Botanicals, a lifestyle and wellness brand offering hand-made CBD-infused Ayurvedic formulas, like tinctures, bitters, body oils, and salves.

She learned of the science behind the plants as a form of healing from a debilitating life with Crohn's, Thyroid disease, and severe degenerative arthritis of her spine.

Colette discusses Ayurveda's teachings on gross digestion. Understanding these stages, the timing of each stage of digestion and the doshas involved can help you have clarity around any digestive issues you may be experiencing. The digestive process starts at the mouth and ends at the rectum and the whole process can take up to 6 hours or more. The timing of digestion depends on the strength of the digestive fire or agni, the individuals constitution and the type or qualities of food that has been consumed.

After many healings and teachings, I received my certification at the Kerala Ayurveda Academy, and studied at School of Ayurveda and Panchakarma in Kerala, India. My unquenchable desire to help others find peace, relief, and answers is a continuous passion. I have a natural philosophy of holistic wellness and ecological focus that plays into every aspect of the brand; from the organic, pure ingredients to the humane ethics employed every step of the way. I'm wild about anthropology, photography, art, design, music, hospitality, wellness, ecology, exotic foods, spices, and everything that smells beautiful. I'm a traveler to my very core and find immense fulfillment in documenting, and sharing my journeys. The most transformative travel experience I've encountered was attending the largest Spiritual Human Gathering called Kumbh Mela in India. I'm a bit of a rock & roll yogi and sometimes rock shaman, so you may find me at a Patti Smith show, and I never leave home without wearing a turquoise cuff or two. My style and approach to Clean Beauty is a constant innovative creative process. Above all, I believe in living and practicing a balanced life, and loving Mother Earth."

I eat steam or sautéed greens everyday. Spinach and little treelike veggies are my favorite. Rainbow foods makes me complete. I balance between an Ayurvedic diet or knowing where my food comes from. I love food, I am 95% vegetarian, sometimes a vegan :) I do honor our animals to heart. I can eat a platter of sushi easily…with love.  I can not live without my ---YOGA. I'm at it 4-5 times a week, my go-to for calming, OM +++ body strength, and sometimes my tears for a good release as I am healing a broken heart with losing my Aunt Idell. Grieving is real.  Most of all, nature & sunlight is my HIGH. I love to go on adventures and hikes when time allows. I burn a lot of calories by walking naturally.  I'm pretty simple in my skincare routine, between cleansing with Dr. Bronners tea tree for face & body + Youth To the People's kale, green tea, spinach vitamins…superfood cleanser for face, packed with antioxidants ….sulfate—phthalate free… To follow, I always OIL face and BODY…start my day with Jiva's ATMAN (SPIRIT) BODY or THUNDERBIRD BODY...and in the evening 1967 BODY is my very own date night oil  My extra face favs on hand in the cabinet *Touch Balancing Face Oil by PAOLA, Josh Rosebrook and Poppy and Someday's face creams.

On today’s episode of the podcast, we have special guest Alexis Meads, M.A. from Harvard University, who tells us a loving and genuine story about not giving up on a relationship with her husband because he was undecided about having children. After discovering more about each other and making the daily choice to develop a loving connection, they now have two children! Her mission is to help women to date with more ease and joy, less fear and anxiety. From there she aims to create authentic, meaningful, committed relationships with her clients. She ultimately wants to break the belief that true love is the kind that you see in a Hollywood movie and it only comes from the perfect partner, but rather it comes from within, and finding a person who matches that, where both partners are committed to growing together. Alexis believes that there is a lot of fear when it comes to dating and relationships. She thinks that fear is the biggest thing keeping daters from being their authentic selves when seeking lasting love. Alexis Meads has her wellness coaching certification from the Kerala Ayurveda Academy, a life coaching certification from Coach U, and was selected out of 4% applicants to coach Tony Robbins clients.

Izumi is a rare ‘Japanese’ Ayurveda Practitioner. I met her at Kerala Ayurveda Academy where I started taking a special course. She went through breast cancer and was attracted by natural healing process that the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda showed her especially after going through invasive conventional medical approach. “Ayurveda is based on what the nature tells us and is the root of all other Eastern medicines.”, “Each of us is different, thus the treatment is also different even for the same symptom.”, “Anything can be medicine or the poison depends on the person”. What she tells us again give us a chance to think what we really are as a part of nature. Ayurveda is an ultimate customized medicine for each person and it is, I personally think, all medicine should follow that principal. - What is the fundamental philosophy of Ayurveda? - What is the Ayurvedic approach towards diseases? - The ayurvedic idea between digestion and Immune strength. - What are your body types? Three types of people - Doshas. - What is the most important thing for eating? - How does Ayurveda see chronic diseases? etc. Enjoy.
