The Elements of Ayurveda Podcast

Episode 268

Ayurveda teaches us that it is our disconnection from nature and the Circadian rhythm which can lead to imbalances in the body and mind. In studying Ayurveda, we understand that we are a part of nature and we are dependent on nature and therefore, planetary health is a natural and necessary extension of our holistic health.

In this solo episode Colette shares ideas on how we can set eco-friendly intentions for 2023 by making some small changes in our daily lives with the goal to connect with nature and to limit our impact on the environment. She covers the following topics:

• Food
• Waste
• Beauty & household products
• Clothes
• Travel
• Energy consumption
• Water conservation

Episode 200

Patrick Hentschel is an educator and activist on climate and environmental issues. In this episode, Patrick and I discuss the health of our planet.

Ayurveda teaches us that we are a part of nature and therefore, planetary health should be considered an extension of our own health and wellbeing. We discuss the following:

• Where Patrick's passion for his work came from.
• Why are the people in power so slow to react to the climate crisis.
• The facts and stats on the current situation with
  • food and water
  • biodiversity loss
  • oceans
  • plastics
  • deforestation
  • air pollution
• Tips on what you can do to be a part of the change.

Patrick's corrections from show:

1. I incorrectly stated that 50% of the world lives on $2 per day when in fact the statistic is closer to $5.50 per day. About 10% of the world lives on less than $2 per day.
2. I misspoke when stating that the Industrial Revolution started in late 19^th century. It actually had it’s start in the late 18^th century...
