Send us Fan Mail **What if some of the health advice you’ve been following is actually making it harder for your body to thrive?** In this episode of *It’s Hertime*, Cody sits down with Dr. John Douillard—Ayurvedic expert, chiropractor, bestselling author, and founder of LifeSpa—to explore why the pursuit of “perfect health” may be leading many people in the wrong direction. For years we’ve been told to eliminate more foods, track more metrics, optimize every habit, and follow increasingly complicated wellness protocols. But what if better health isn’t about doing more? What if it’s about reconnecting with the natural rhythms your body was designed to follow? Dr. John shares how ancient Ayurvedic principles continue to be supported by modern science and explains why resilience—not restriction—is one of the greatest predictors of long-term health. Together, they explore digestion, circadian rhythms, seasonal eating, the microbiome, lymphatic health, breathing, and the simple daily habits that can help you feel more energized, resilient, and vibrant at every stage of life. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this episode is a refreshing reminder that sometimes the most powerful changes are also the simplest. **In This Episode** - Why modern health advice has become so complicated - The hidden downside of restrictive diets and constant optimization - How to build resilience instead of simply avoiding symptoms - Why your body’s daily rhythms affect energy, hormones, metabolism, and sleep - The connection between seasonal eating and a healthy microbiome - Why digestion is the foundation of long-term wellness - The overlooked role of the lymphatic system in inflammation and longevity - How nose breathing supports your nervous system, energy, and overall health - What Ayurveda teaches us about healthy aging—and how modern science is catching up - Simple, practical habits you can start today to support lifelong vitality **Connect with Dr. John Douillard** **Website:** https://lifespa.com **Podcast: *Ayurveda Meets Modern Science*** **Books:** https://store.lifespa.com/product-category/education-books-ecourses-etc/books/ ***Eat Wheat*:** https://eatwheat.lifespa.com **Connect with Cody** **Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/codyjeansanders **Learn more about Mixhers:** https://mixhers.com **Use Code: Cody** If this conversation encouraged you to think differently about your health, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who’s tired of chasing the next wellness trend.
