In this episode with Dr. Chiti Parikh, you'll get to explore practical solutions for enhancing your well-being through the integration of ancient Eastern healing practices into modern life. Dr. Parikh provides actionable insights on aligning your daily routines with circadian rhythms and harnessing the benefits of mindful eating, therapeutic oil massages, and her powerful 28-day reset. We also dive into the science behind detox diets and the ancient Kayakalpa practice, offering strategies to rejuvenate and revitalize your health. Tune in to discover how blending traditional wisdom with contemporary science can address common health challenges and optimize your overall wellness!

Dr. Chiti Parikh is one of the leading integrative medicine physicians in the country and the founder of Integrative Health & Wellbeing at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian Hospital. She is also the author of Intentional Health: Detoxify, Nourish and Rejuvenate Your Body into Balance (a fascinating and resourceful newly published book she and I discuss on this podcast!).

Her book aims to bring your body into a healthier state of balance, giving you a better chance to ward off disease and providing you with a deeper understanding of your health. It equips you with all the tools you need to maintain that balance, especially when life happens. You'll learn how to detox, nourish, and rejuvenate, with your body as your best ally.

As a holistic doctor, Dr. Chiti does not focus on weight, diet, or exercise; instead, she prioritizes body fat percentage and metabolism, which she will explain during our podcast. She emphasizes the importance of meal timing, intermittent fasting, and overall physical activity on well-being, going beyond just diets or gym routines. She also explores the link between gut health and metabolism, discussing how probiotics, prebiotics, and a healthy gut microbiome contribute to overall metabolic well-being.

You'll also get to hear the incredible story of the 185-year-old yogi and discover longevity secrets through an ancient detox ritual that is backed by cutting-edge science. By activating their stem cells, yogis can theoretically reverse their biological clock, rejuvenate their appearance, and infuse vitality at any age. Dr. Chiti personally experienced these benefits, using them to heal her long COVID symptoms and inspiring the transformative 28-day reset provided in Intentional Health.
