There’s a fascinating ancient system of medicine called Ayurveda, originating in India over 3,000 years ago, that has helped millions of people tune into their bodies through simple food, daily rhythms and plants. I grew up thinking it was just a set of beliefs and traditions, but my guest today really challenged that. What I came to understand is that Ayurveda is actually a codified system of observations and experiments, documented, debated and written in Sanskrit texts. My guest is Dr Vijay Murthy, an internationally acclaimed integrative physician who blends Ayurveda with modern, evidence-based medicine. He has over 30 years of clinical experience and regularly publishes in peer-reviewed journals. What’s remarkable is that many of the practices we unpack today closely mirror what modern research now tells us about gut health, lifestyle medicine and nutrition. This conversation genuinely made me reflect on my own daily routines in a different way. And there are a couple of simple practices in here that you might want to try for yourself.
We cover: - What Ayurveda actually is
- Daily routines and living in sync with natural cycles
- How to identify your dominant dosha and what it means
- How Ayurveda can support gut health and digestion
- How to eat according to Ayurvedic food principles
- What an Ayurvedic breakfast looks like
