EP 39: How to Align Your Routine With The Cycles of Nature Featuring Ayurvedic Doctor and Holistic Healer Dr. Bhaswati Bhattacharya - a podcast by Alyssa Benjamin

This week I am so excited to welcome back Our Nature’s first repeat guest, my Ayurvedic teacher Dr. Bhaswati Bhattacharya to focus on the elements of Dinacharya, which is the Sanskrit word for the concept of looking at the cycles of nature and basing daily routines around these cycles to maintain optimum health.

Before I go more into detail about what we discuss in this episode, here’s a refresher on Dr. Bhaswati. She is a biomedical scientist, international health specialist, primary care physician and holistic healer. She has a masters in neuroscience and pharmacology from Columbia University, a masters in International Public Health from Harvard University, and a doctorate from Rush Medical College. I also just learned that she was the first U.S. Fulbright Scholar to exclusively research medical ayurveda throughout India and teach at Banaras Hindu University. Today, she serves as the director of the Dinacharya Institute, teaching workshops, seminars and courses for students (such as myself) who are interested in studying Ayurveda. In her book “Everyday Ayurveda,” Dr. Bhaswati focuses on Dinacharya, or the daily habits that can change your life.
