Brave fam, get ready—this episode is going to change how you think about health, longevity, and healing. 💥
What if you were doing all the right things—eating well, exercising, checking every wellness box—and then BOOM, life hits you with a shocking diagnosis? My guest today, Dr. Avanti Kumar Singh, knows this story all too well.
She’s a former ER physician turned Ayurveda expert, and just three months into writing her new book, she got a breast cancer diagnosis—despite living the Ayurvedic lifestyle for decades. 😳 Instead of breaking her, it became her greatest teacher.
In this deeply powerful conversation, we unpack ancient Ayurvedic secrets for modern wellness, how stress, toxins, and burnout are wrecking our health, and what we can actually do to reverse it. If you’ve ever questioned the Western medical system, struggled with exhaustion, or just want to feel vibrant and alive again—this episode is for you.
Let’s get into it. 🎙✨
