Life Synchronicities, Ayurvedic Medicine...

Dr. Jay Khorsandi
About this episode

How many breaths do you think we take per day? We breath in and out about 22,000 times a day but how many of those are we consciously focusing on and using to manifest our life goals? In this podcast I have an in-depth conversation with Niraj Naik, aka The Renegade Pharmacist to learn more about his journey from corporate pharmacist to a holistic health and breathwork expert. 

In this show we’ll talk about:

  • The challenges with traditional medicine and corporate burnout 
  • His battle with a life-destroying auto-immune gut disease and how he overcame it
  • The infamous and ultra-viral coke can infographic
  • We take a deep dive into the mechanics and science behind hyperbaric oxygen therapies and why intermittent hypoxia may be more beneficial?
  • He discusses some Ayurvedic principles along with some of the root origins
  • And we talk about his holistic 21 day breathwork program designed to transform your mindset and help you get back to optimal health
  • And as always, we’ll talk about sleep and his tips for getting more deep sleep and waking up refreshed based of a specific breathing method 

Speaking of his 21 day program, if you are interested in doing it, you can use the code: BESTNIGHTEVER

Here’s a little bit more about Niraj

Niraj Naik is a certified UK pharmacist turned holistic wellness, brain-training and breathwork expert. He is one of the world’s most sought-after spiritual ceremony facilitators and leads breathwork workshops around the world.

His journey started amid a “burnout” in his corporate career when he found himself bedridden with chronic illness for more than a year. Healing himself using breathwork techniques and dietary adjustments, Niraj felt motivated to share his knowledge with others.

SOMA Breath, a global breathwork community, was founded by Niraj to help empower others to take charge of their own healing and wellness. He has also trained hundreds of breathwork experts through his SOMA Breath framework, which is also taught at numerous wellness centres in the US, Europe and Asia.

Again the code for the 21 Day Awakening Soma Program is:   BESTNIGHTEVER
