When Radhi Devlukia agreed to sit down with me, I knew we were in for an illuminating conversation about the intersection of veganism, Ayurveda, and holistic health. As an Ayervedic Health Counselor, Radhi brings a wealth of knowledge that inspires us to examine our relationship with food, and how it extends far beyond mere sustenance. Our exchange, peppered with personal anecdotes and transformative insights, offers a refreshing perspective on how dietary choices can resonate with our highest values and contribute to a more compassionate world. Radhi Devlukia earned her Ayurvedic Health Counsellor 1 Degree at the California College of Ayurveda. A clinical dietician, nutritionist, and always-learning cook, she brings a modern approach to the ancient principles of holistic wellbeing. Radhi grew up in the UK and lives in Los Angeles with her husband Jay. Listen in as we celebrate the resilience, creativity, and empathy that define our species. I challenge you to consider how we might tip the scales towards optimizing our potential, encouraging a delicate dance between the comforts of the known and the exhilarating unknown of our full capabilities. Reflecting on my own experiences and those shared by adventurers and professionals alike, we discuss the unique ways individuals assess risk and pursue their life's calling, urging you to ponder your own definitions and the trajectory you wish to carve out for yourself. Discussion points: Radhi Devlukia's vegan journey and Ayurvedic insights High and low vibrational foods Satvik and kitchari Importance of spices and herbs in diets Playful and mindful living Connection between culinary practices and mindful living Tips for joyful health and gratitude in meals Exploring the kichari reset for gut health Impact of food on physical and energetic states Radhi's personal growth and continuous learning Radhi's encounter with spiritual guide Radhanath Swami Spiritual and integrity-driven life approaches Embracing veganism for holistic health and joy Please subscribe, and reach out to us with your comments, questions, and feedback Disclaimer: The information on this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only.
