What if many of today's most common health problems—from digestive issues and inflammation to stress and fatigue—could be addressed by reconnecting with circadian rhythms that humans have followed for thousands of years?
Today I sit down with Dr. John Douillard, globally recognized leader in the fields of Ayurveda, natural health, nutrition, and sports medicine to explore the ancient science of Ayurveda and how its principles are supported by modern research. He’s most well known for integrating traditional Indian healing with modern medicine and nutrition science.
Dr. Douillard explains how seasonal eating, digestive health, breathing techniques, and daily lifestyle habits influence everything from our microbiome and immune system to our energy, mood, and longevity. He also challenges some of today's most popular nutrition trends, including the widespread avoidance of wheat and the obsession with high-protein diets.
Whether you're struggling with digestive issues, looking for natural ways to improve your health, or simply curious about what ancient healing systems can teach us today, Dr. Douillard offers lot’s of practical tools and a fresh perspective on how we can stay healthy throughout our lives.

This was such a fun interview — our encore guest today is Dr. Robert Waldinger, a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, a practicing Psychiatrist, Zen Master and author of the book The Good Life, Lessons from the Worlds Longest Scientific Study on Happiness. This study, which began in 1938, reveals what it takes to build a good life. What does that exactly mean, I wondered…fulfilling, satisfying, meaningful, happy? All of it. There's no one size fits all. BUT…the one thing that was consistent? Relationships. All kinds of relationships. The quality of the social connections that we make throughout our lives means everything. He says…Human connection is our superpower. Good relationships help us get through life’s inevitable challenges, and they keep us happier and healthier. and the research shows that they actually help us to live longer. Robert reminds us that we should pay attention to the things that we really care about…the things and people that energize us. AND pay attention to the things and people that deplete us. He shares the keystones of healthy relationships — things like safety security, emotional closeness, fun and relaxation, learning and growth…and there’s more.
Resources: The Good Life is available at all major booksellers.

What if resilience isn't about bouncing back—but about staying present through whatever life brings?
Today I sit down with Margaret Cullen, a licensed psychotherapist and a pioneer in bringing contemplative practices into mainstream settings. She’s also the author of a book called Quiet Strength, Find Peace, Feel Alive, and love Boundlessly Through the power of Equanimity.
Drawing from decades of meditation practice, compassion training at Stanford, neuroscience research, and wisdom traditions from around the world, Margaret explains why equanimity may be the missing ingredient in our pursuit of well-being. She shares how it differs from mindfulness, its relationship to compassion, and how it helps us navigate suffering, relationships, uncertainty, and the emotional ups and downs of everyday life.
Whether you're facing personal challenges, simply looking for greater balance in an increasingly reactive world, caring for a loved one, or just living this chaotic life…this conversation offers practical wisdom for cultivating a steadier heart and mind.
