    #212 Ayurvedic Secrets Modern Science Finally Proves: Doshas, Seasonal Eating, Rituals, Herbal Medicine & More | Dr. John Douillard @LifeSpa

    Could syncing your daily habits with the seasons be the key to vitality? Dr. John Douillard of LifeSpa shares how aligning with nature’s cycles through the Ayurvedic principles of seasonal eating, circadian rhythms, & herbal protocols radically shifts your digestion, mental clarity, immunity, & long-term energy. In this episode, he breaks down the science behind ancient practices like the Three Season Diet & breathwork to show how modern health challenges often stem from living out of sync with nature. Whether you’re new to Ayurveda or looking for next-level tools to support bioharmonized living, this episode delivers timeless, practical insights. Meet our guest Dr. John Douillard is a leading Ayurvedic expert, chiropractor, & founder of LifeSpa, with over 40 years of experience in natural health & longevity.

If digestion struggles, the issue is usually your gut, not the food Struggling with foods? Digestion is likely the issue & low stomach acid & poor bile flow are common culprits Syncing daily routine with natural light cycles boosts energy, sleep & metabolic health Walking after meals lowers blood sugar, aids digestion & reduces heart disease risk Calm, present mealtime habits support proper breakdown & use of food because rushed eating harms digestion Eating seasonally & enjoying fresh, local foods supports gut health & microbiome diversity Adjusting lifestyle by dosha & season keeps the body balanced & thriving Detoxing starts with fixing digestion & gentle approaches work better than harsh cleanses Episode Highlights 01:55 Foundations of Ayurveda & Its Connection to Modern Science 11:54 Controversy & Role of Wheat & Grains 22:49 Practical Guides for Seasonal Eating 51:16 The Ayurvedic Constitution & Cleansing Links Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uYDCEgnDTrU  Full episode show notes: outliyr.com/212 Connect with Nick on social media Instagram Twitter (X) YouTube LinkedIn Easy ways to support Subscribe Leave an Apple Podcast review Suggest a guest Do you have questions, thoughts, or feedback for us?
