The Elements of Ayurveda Podcast turns 8 this month and in this special anniversary episode, I’m reflecting on 8 years of sharing Ayurvedic wisdom through this podcast, in my personal practice, and in client work. Over this time, Ayurveda has taught me countless lessons, but there are 8 core insights that continue to shape how I live, heal, and show up in the world. May they inspire your own journey with Ayurveda and remind you of the deep wisdom already within you.

The 8 lessons are:

1. The body is always communicating

2. There is no one-size-fits-all path to health

3. Digestion is the root of It all

4. Rhythm and routine are more powerful than perfection

5. Emotions are energy that need digestion too

6. Healing is seasonal, cyclical, and spiral-like

7. You are nature, not separate from it

8. True health is alignment with purpose

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
