Summary
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
