Episode 35: The Power of Ayurveda w/ Gunny Sodhi Sep 09, 2020

Show notes

Ayurveda is all about living in balance. And the best part? It's about recognizing and having compassion for your OWN personal balance! Ayurveda recognizes that everyone is unique, which is why I love this healing philosophy so much.

In this interview with YouVeda founder Gunny Sodhi, you'll learn the heart-wrenching challenge that led him to where he is today, how (and why) he moved forward in a natural way, the definition of adaptogenic herbs (and some examples), why he loves Triphala so much, and his favorite daily ritual ...which also happens to be one of mine.

Ep 34: The Key Ingredients for Healing My Prolapse and Psoriasis* Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

*This is my personal story, and is not to be used as a substitute for medical treatment or advice.

In this episode I get super personal, and it ends with happy tears! I share the two "magical ingredients" that worked to heal my prolapse: belief that I could get better, and trust in myself. As of this recording, I am harnessing these same ingredients to overcome psoriasis, along with the body and spirit components that are necessary to consider when utilizing a holistic mind-body-spirit approach.

My intention for sharing these very personal stories is to inspire YOU in your own healing journey. Do you believe that you can get better? How are you talking to yourself? Do you trust yourself? Are you tending to your spirit? Are you uncovering, honoring, and then releasing any emotional restrictions that may be contributing to your physical condition? And then grounding back into your 3-D "reality," are you serving your manifested physical foundation (i.e. your body) with tools and practices that support your healing?
