Ayurveda is an ancient healing system that utilizes holistic methods to treat the mind, body and spirit. It has been practiced for thousands of years and is based on a belief that all living beings are interconnected.

In this episode, Sondra Rubin talks about Ayurvedic practices that can help us maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent diseases from developing in our bodies. She explains why all diets don't work for everyone and should address individual lifestyles.
