Introduction to Ayurveda
In this episode, we journey into the realm of Ayurveda alongside Dr. Shri Shukla, the founder of ViVaByShri. As a published author, educator, and holder of a PhD in health social work from Rutgers University, Dr. Shukla brings over 15 years of experience in the health industry to our discussion. Her research has been showcased at prestigious events such as the American Public Health Association and the Society for Social Work Research.
Dr. Shukla shares her personal journey of discovering Ayurveda after facing a serious health crisis at age 32, marked by extreme exhaustion and fatigue unexplained by conventional medicine.
We explore the essence of Ayurveda, its origins, and how it gained popularity in the United States. Dr. Shukla highlights the integrative nature of Ayurveda, emphasizing its holistic approach that considers the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. We delve into the significance of balancing the three doshas and why Ayurveda is not a one-size-fits-all system but rather a personalized approach to wellness.
Our conversation delves deep into the inner and external therapies of Ayurveda, encompassing dietary regimens, herbal remedies, yoga, meditation, oil massages, and exercise. Through Dr. Shukla's expert guidance, we gain profound insights into how Ayurveda can revolutionize our well-being and foster a harmonious equilibrium in the midst of life's tumultuous currents.
Moreover, Dr. Shukla's passion for Ayurvedic medicine extends beyond mere consultancy; she actively coaches individuals in various modalities, with a particular focus on pregnancy preparedness, stress management, and mental health wellness.
Join us as we embark on a journey to unlock the wisdom of Ayurveda and discover how this ancient system can empower us to lead healthier, more balanced lives in today's fast-paced world.
