Ten years ago, Athina was severely ill with Crohn's disease, exhausted, unable to eat properly, rapidly losing weight, and unsure if she would survive. In this deeply inspiring conversation, she shares how discovering Ayurveda became a turning point in her healing journey. Together, Colette and Athina reflect on the physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation that unfolded through simple daily practices, nourishment, self-awareness, and long-term lifestyle change. This episode is a powerful reminder of the body's incredible capacity to heal when given the right support.
