Summary
This week, Dominique explores the timeless world of Ayurvedic medicine with Dr. John Douillard, founder of Lifespa.com, a leading authority on evidence-based Ayurvedic healthcare. With more than 40 years of experience as a practitioner, Dr. John has collaborated with Deepak Chopra to co-direct his US center and train medical doctors in Ayurvedic medicine. As former Director of Player Development for the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets, Dr. John was the first in the West to apply Ayurvedic principles, nose breathing, and diaphragm training to optimize athletic performance.
Together, they discuss how ancient wisdom can transform modern health, from the power of breath and seasonal eating to a deeper connection between body, mind, and spirit.
In this episode, Dominique and Dr. Douillard discuss:
- What Ayurveda truly means and how ancient India shaped our understanding of wellness
- Why whole plants heal better than supplements
- The power of breathwork to heal stress and inflammation
- How “bubble-wrapping” your diet harms your gut
- The science behind seasoning eating and your microbiome
- Inflammation, aging, and the wisdom of balance
- Sleep, energy, and the art of aligning with nature’s rhythms
