039 What is Ayurveda? with Victor Briere, A.D.
I’m joined today by Victor Briere, Ayurvedic doctor and the co-founder of the International Institute of Ayurveda, where he offers clients and teaches students ayurvedic diagnostic techniques and health counseling.
Victor provides in-depth, individualized consultations aimed at identifying the underlying root causes of wellness imbalances and support to restore the body to health with an emphasis on lifestyle.
As you’ll hear, Victor has a calm, approachable manner coupled with a deep knowledge and passion about a holistic approach to wellness.
We cover a range of topics including:
What inspired Victor to become an Ayurvedic doctor
The importance of getting to the root cause of wellness imbalances
The importance of helping clients become self-reliant in optimizing their well-being
The impact of fear on the immune system
We end this episode with our Dose of Inspiration segment, where Victor shares some of the things that are lighting him up these days, including an offer he’s extending to the listeners of this podcast.
I came away from this conversation with a better understanding of Ayurvedic medicine and the importance of daily practices as well as being tuned into our inner wisdom to keep our bodies in their natural state – healthy and strong.
