Jul 31, 2025

Episode 403

In this enlightening episode, Colette is joined by Dr. Bruno Renzi, a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and pioneer in the integration of Ayurveda into psychosomatic medicine. Dr. Renzi created and led the first integrated medicine center for psychosomatic disorders at an Italian university, bringing together modern psychiatry and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in a groundbreaking clinical setting.

Dr. Renzi has served as a university professor at the State University of Milan and is the author of several publications, including The Mind in Ayurveda and the preface of Ayurveda Scientifico Vol. II. He currently serves as co-director of the Maharishi College for Perfect Health International.

In this conversation, they discuss:

  • Dr. Renzi’s personal journey from Western psychiatry to Ayurveda

  • The differences in approaching psychosomatic disorders in modern medicine versus Ayurveda

  • What inspired him to merge these two worlds in the psychosomatic field

  • The practice of Transcendental Meditation and its benefits

  • Dr. Renzi's current work teaching the Maharishi Ayurveda Integrated Approach to Psychosomatics, which addresses stress, mild anxiety, and depression

  • The outcomes he’s witnessed from this integrative approach

  • His future projects and initiatives
