Discovering the Wonders of Ayurvedic Medicine with Dr. Meghana Thanki

On at least one occasion in your life, you’ve probably heard someone say “Your health is your wealth.” But in practice, what does that really mean? How does holistic health and spirituality impact our wellbeing, and what can we do to live longer, happier lives?

I’m thrilled to have Dr. Meghana Thanki on the podcast to help answer these questions. Dr. Thanki is a naturopath who specializes in Ayurvedic medicine, a yoga teacher, the owner of Second Nature Clinic, and the author of The Ayurvedic Lens: Magnifying the Mysteries & Abundance of Life.

In today’s conversation, Dr. Thanki and I get into the basics of Ayurvedic medicine, how she works with clients with conditions ranging from skin disorders to cancer, and how embracing simplicity leads to happier and healthier lives.

Key takeaways:

• What differentiates Ayurveda from other naturopathic practices.
• How Dr. Thanki works with first-time patients.
• How herbs, spices, and other medicines work in Ayurvedic medicine.
• The basics of starting your own meditation practice.
• Simple things anyone can do each day to focus on their mental and physical health even if they’re not ready to dive into Ayurvedic medicine.
