#253 Biomarkers of Mental Health with Dr Vignesh Devraj MD (Ay)

While we cannot diagnose anxiety or depression with a single blood test, modern biomarkers can reveal the physical disruptions that influence how we think, feel, and respond to stress. From micronutrient deficiencies to inflammation, your physiology silently shapes your emotional world.

Through the Ayurvedic lens of Vata imbalance and the foundational 3R Protocol, this episode shows how understanding your biomarkers can transform healing, resilience, and emotional clarity.

Episode Highlights:

• Why emotions have a physical foundation

• The key biomarkers linked to anxiety, low mood, burnout, and fatigue

• How sleep, HRV, inflammation, and nutrient reserves shape mental stability

• Why replenishing deficiencies often leads to emotional breakthroughs

• How to work with the body before diving into therapy or inner work

BALANCING THE MIGHTY VATA - ONLINE COURSE NOW AVAILABLE

What makes Ayurveda unique in its treatment approach is its practical wisdom on the concept of Vata. Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, the nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery. Recently, I have recorded a workshop on - Balancing The Mighty Vata, which has over 6 hrs of content, with notes filled with practical inputs that can be integrated into our life.
