Ep. 039 - The Ancient Wisdom of Ayurveda with Kendra Irvine

Ayurveda is the world's oldest wellness system and the sister science to yoga, and considering that it is still around after many thousands of years and is still relevant, I think it may be a good idea to give it some attention, especially in light of how far western medicine has veered from what is natural and how little is has to offer in terms of cultivating health.Kendra Irvine is an Ayurvedic Health Counsellor with the California College of Ayurveda, a Certified Wellness Coach and a Professional Kinesiologist who teaches high-performing women how to manage the stress of their demanding lives, create the best possible health for their unique body types and prevent dis-ease using Ayurveda.I have long had an interest in Ayurveda and was delighted to be able to ask some questions and get more clarity on this ancient science.
