Avanti Kumar-Singh, MD: The Ayurvedic Longevity Prescription

The term Ayurveda is traditionally defined as "the science of life." Physician and leading Ayurvedic teacher Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh has another definition: she calls it "the knowledge of longevity." In this podcast, join Tami Simon in conversation with Dr. Kumar-Singh about her new book, The Longevity Formula. Take a listen as they discuss the many ways that Ayurveda can support high-quality living, especially in your later years, by increasing cellular repair, decreasing inflammation, and keeping you connected with "your people and your purpose." Learn more about integrating Ayurvedic principles into Western medicine; lifespan versus health span; vitality, enthusiasm, and joy; forging stronger ties with your community and purpose; the causes and effects of cellular damage; the nine mechanisms of aging; bringing prana, or life-force energy, directly into your body through your natural surroundings and your diet; how all health and illness begins with the energetic body; what nourishment means in the Ayurvedic perspective; the Ayurvedic understanding of body tissues; good inflammation (yes, that's a thing!); five Ayurvedic lifestyle interventions you can explore today; breathwork and the adage, "the inhale excites you and the exhale relaxes you"; giving and receiving love; the five doshas, or elements; and more. Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests.
