You've probably heard the saying "you are what you eat",  in Ayurvedic thought we are literally what we eat.  Tissues are made from the food we eat, which is why there is an emphasis on eating high quality foods.  But what if you take it a step farther and incorporate your herbal and mushroom medicines into your diet?

In this week's episode Terrel Broussard, an  Ayurvedic practitioner and bodyworker with 25 years experience in the field of Therapeutic Massage, Thai Massage, Yoga and Herbal Medicine talks about his philosophy on incorporating medicinal foods into the diet.  

Terrel and his wife, Kimberly, own a small Ayurvedic Retreat Center in the Berkshires called Lakshmi's Garden which focuses on Pancha Karma retreats.  

In this week's episode, Terrel talks about:

• His personal self care practices
• His path to Ayurveda
• The Ayurvedic practice of listening for "the burp"
• Why he incorporates Milk Thistle and Lion's Mane into his daily routine
• The idea of structuring your energetic day in a bell curve
• His go to herbs and his favorite formulas
