Dr Tanya sits down with Master Bijonaya, founder of a Kalari and Ayurveda Centre in South Brisbane, for a deep dive into what Ayurveda really is — not just a medicine system, but a complete lifestyle philosophy that's stood the test of thousands of years.


What You'll Learn:

  • The three pillars of Ayurvedic living: proper diet, physical activity, and supplementation
  • Why Ayurveda encourages you to "eat what you need, not what you like"
  • Why interest in Ayurveda is resurging as modern lifestyles create more stress and chronic illness
  • Master Bijunay's top recommendation: Tulsi (holy basil) tea as a daily immune-boosting ritual
  • Why you don't need to be vegetarian or vegan to live Ayurvedically; diet should suit your individual constitution
