Modern science calls it the circadian rhythm, the internal clock that governs every function of our body. But centuries before this term existed, Ayurveda had already mapped this wisdom through Dinacharya, the rhythm of aligning our daily actions with nature’s cycles. In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj reveals why true health depends not just on how long you sleep, but when you sleep. He explains how going against your body’s clock, staying up late, skipping meals, or waking at odd hours quietly disrupts hormones, digestion, and mental clarity. Learn how restoring this natural rhythm can awaken energy, focus, and longevity from within.


Episode Highlights:

Understanding your body’s natural 24-hour clock

How late nights, jet lag, and screen time can disrupt your body.

#239 Going Beyond Spiritual Bypassing With Radical Acceptance and Accountability | With Dr Vignesh Devraj MD (Ay) and Ananta Ripa Ajmera

Spirituality can be a powerful force for healing, but what happens when it becomes a mask for avoidance? In this conversation, our guest Ananta Ripa Ajmera explores the rising phenomenon of spiritual bypassing: using spiritual language to escape responsibility, dismiss effort as “divine timing,” or rationalize inaction as destiny.


Ananta offers radical responsibility as the antidote: taking full ownership of our choices and recognizing that karma shapes every dimension of life. Drawing on Ayurveda and her own wisdom, she explains how true healing requires more than herbs and therapies; it demands selfless service, emotional honesty, and courage to face our inner wounds.

#237 Understanding & Overcoming Anxiety with Ayurveda with Dr Vignesh Devraj, MD (Ay)

In today’s episode, delve into the root causes of anxiety through the lens of both modern science and Ayurvedic wisdom.

Dr. Vignesh shares how Ayurveda views anxiety as an imbalance of Vata dosha, and how misdirected creative energy can spiral into worry and fear.


Through practical tools and Ayurvedic insights, you’ll learn how to reframe anxiety into resilience and curiosity, cultivating clarity and balance in everyday life.

BALANCE 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, 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.

#230 Understanding the Biomarkers of Vata | With Dr Vignesh Devraj MD (AY)

In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj explores the often-overlooked but deeply important topic of identifying vata imbalances using modern tools and Ayurvedic insights. Unlike pitta and kapha, vata is subtle, formless, and harder to diagnose through conventional means.


Dr. Vignesh offers a practical and scientific lens to understand how deficiencies often signal a vata imbalance. From vitamin and hormone levels to HRV and VO2 Max, this episode is a deep dive into recognizing and balancing this elusive dosha using both ancient wisdom and modern technology.

#229 Yoga Nidra: Guided Meditation with Dr Vignesh Devraj MD(Ay)

In this episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj guides us through the deeply restorative practice of Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep. In a world where restlessness has become the norm and true relaxation feels out of reach, Yoga Nidra offers a powerful antidote.


Dr. Vignesh gently leads you into this ancient practice of conscious rest, allowing the body to enter a profound state of relaxation while the mind remains quietly aware, tapping into the healing potential of the space between wakefulness and sleep. You’ll experience how Yoga Nidra recalibrates the nervous system, accesses the subconscious, and promotes deep emotional and physical restoration.
