## Resource

What happens when one of the world's leading experts in Ayurveda sits down with one of the leading voices in mitochondrial health? In this episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski welcomes Dr. John Douillard for a wide-ranging conversation connecting ancient Ayurvedic medicine with modern physiology, mitochondria, circadian biology, digestion, lymphatic health, breathing, seasonal nutrition, and longevity. Dr. Douillard explains why digestion may be one of the true foundations of health, how the diaphragm powers the body's lymphatic system, why modern lifestyles disconnect us from natural biological rhythms, and why whole foods often outperform isolated compounds.
