Hello, friends. I am so excited to officially launch my podcast, The Healing Catalyst, with the first episode “Finding the Healer Within.” We’ve been planning this podcast for a few months, and I was seriously considering putting it on pause in the midst of the global pandemic. But after giving it some more thought, and discussing with my team, we felt now is actually the BEST time to bring this integrative medicine education to the world. Now more than ever, we’re being asked to reflect on our lives and health. My hope is that this show will give you new thoughts and tools on how to strengthen your immunity, heal your symptoms, and provide practical solutions for living a long, healthy life.
Now, I want to be clear. I was trained in Western medicine and I believe in it. But I also know that there is so much more to wellbeing, health, and healing than what’s found in the doctor’s office. You see, the thing that affects our health conditions the most is how we live our lives—every single day.
In this episode, you’ll learn more about my personal story of transformation from enduring a health crisis to finding my way back to the roots of my ancestors and the ancient practice of Ayurveda. Through demystifying Ayurveda, I share the lessons I learned along the way all in service of teaching and empowering you, my listener, to reclaim YOUR inner power and transform your health to harness the healing power that lives within.
If you like this episode, I would love to hear from you! Please subscribe and share it with your friends on social media!

Your healing catalyst,
Avanti
