152. The Science of Ayurveda & How It Can Rock Your Entire Life with Sahara Rose

Sahara Rose, the author of The Idiot’s Guide to Ayurveda & Eat Feel Fresh, was one of the six people featured in the Longevity Now All-Stars episode released a couple weeks back (episode #147). She had so much Ayurvedic wisdom to share that I had to get her back behind the mic a second time while we were at the conference so that I could extract some more of that knowledge and share it with all of you.If you’re not familiar with Ayurveda, let me give you a quick rundown: It’s the world’s oldest health system, originating in India over 5,000 years ago as a sister science to yoga. A ton of the common sense health practices we do today – and many of the health “trends” popular in the wellness world – can actually be traced back to Ayurveda.Sahara represents the next step of Ayurvedic tradition and, according to Deepak Chopra, she is leading our generation into a new paradigm shift – a paradigm that reflects the melding of Ayurvedic healing and spiritual wisdom with modern Western nutritional science and psychology.Need Ayurveda 101? Desperately want to live a life aligned with your purpose? Craving a different perspective on the mind-body connection? Just want better digestion?Sahara and the Ayurvedic tradition have you covered for all of that and more. Topics Discussed In This Episode: Why Ayurveda is for the common person (unlike its sister science, Yoga) Growing up with two first-generation Indian immigrants & just wanting to fit in When Sahara started consuming Lunchables, Kool-Aid, and other sugary poison Weird alien shit that happens to Sahara’s boyfriend Picking up hot yoga just to gain weight… but getting a whole lot more out of it Living in a jail in Costa Rica at the age of 15 & other on-the-ground volunteer work Becoming a diehard raw vegan & still experiencing health issues How to thoughtfully craft a diet based on where you live & what your body needs What the three Dosha are & how your Dosha affect you How Jennifer Lopez & Donald Trump represent the opposite ends of Pitta Why the dosha in your mind isn’t necessarily the same as the dosha in your body – and what you can do to bring balance to them in different ways Your dosha & your love relationships Why tongue scraping isn’t just a trend – it’s effective Luke’s crazy panchakarma experience and why this is such a powerful detoxification treatment What you can expect from Sahara’s upcoming cookbook, Eat Feel Fresh   More about this episode.
