Brave fam, this episode will change how you think about health, longevity & healing. 💥

What if you did everything “right”—ate well, exercised, followed every wellness rule—then BOOM, a shocking diagnosis? That’s exactly what happened to my guest, Dr. Avanti Kumar Singh.

A former ER physician turned Ayurveda expert, she was just months into writing her book when she was diagnosed with breast cancer—despite living an Ayurvedic lifestyle for decades. Instead of breaking her, it became her greatest teacher.

In this powerful convo, we dive into ancient Ayurvedic secrets for modern wellness, why stress & toxins are wrecking our health, and real steps to reverse it. If you've ever questioned Western medicine, struggled with burnout, or just want to feel vibrant & alive again—this one's for you.

🎙 What You’ll Learn:

• How Ayurveda explains aging & longevity—and why it works
• The #1 mistake high-achievers make that leads to burnout
• The real reason stress is killing us (& how to reset)
• 5 Ayurvedic “Longevity Switches” to reverse aging & inflammation
• The shocking connection between emotional trauma & disease
• How to stop doing so much—and start receiving more healing
• Why fasting, circadian rhythms & breathwork are health non-negotiables
• A deeply personal journey through cancer, resilience & self-acceptance
