On a recent three-week tour of India, I had the pleasure of meeting a host of individuals making a huge impact on the country's health and wellness scene.

Today, I'm thrilled to have a guest on the show who I knew was a kindred spirit from the moment I met him.

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Address stress to alleviate FODMAP sensitivity

Many people who believe they are gluten intolerant may actually have a FODMAP sensitivity, which is often brought on by living in a stressed, sympathetically-driven state.

Discover balance in exercise for sustainable fitness

Instead of pushing to the maximum every day, finding a balanced and optimum level of exercise, which for many people is simply walking, is a more sustainable approach to fitness.

Add saffron to coffee to calm caffeine effects

Adding saffron to coffee can help counteract some of the over-stimulating effects of caffeine, as saffron is a spice known to be a calming agent for the nervous system.

Utilize ghee for effective heavy metal detoxification

A traditional detoxification protocol involves consuming increasing amounts of ghee over four days, as it acts as a chelating agent that can remove heavy metals from the body.

Extend healthy life to fulfill your purpose, not achieve immortality

From a spiritual perspective, the goal of longevity is not to achieve immortality but to extend a healthy life to maximize your impact and fulfill your purpose.

Incorporate Bilona ghee for probiotic benefits

A specific type of ghee called Bilona is hand-churned with yogurt over 48 hours, which transfers beneficial probiotics like lactobacillus into the final product.

Meditate in six-hour intervals to manage stress

A novel approach to daily stress management is to break the day into six-hour windows, with a five-minute breathing meditation at the end of each interval to calm the nervous system.

Utilize jaggery to capture carbon and reduce pollution exposure

Jaggery, a type of unrefined sugar, has studies showing it has a carbon-capturing effect and was traditionally used by factory workers to mitigate pollution exposure.
