There is so much wisdom in ancient medicines, where the parameters involve the mind, body, and spirit, and the harmony between these aspects of our human selves.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Avanti Kumar Singh, a medical physician who left the conventional medicine world to devote her work to the healing tradition of Ayurveda.
