Restore the Real

You Are the Detox Pathway: Breath, Food, and the Rhythm of Nature - Dr. John Douillard

Dr. Randy Michaux

In this transformative episode of Restore the Real, Dr. Randy is joined by renowned Ayurvedic expert Dr. John Douillard to unpack a radical truth: you are the detox pathway. Together, they explore the deep healing power of breath, the intelligence of seasonal eating, and how aligning with the rhythms of nature activates true vitality.

Dr. John blends ancient Ayurvedic principles with cutting-edge science to show how your breath impacts your nervous system, lymphatic flow, and even emotional healing. You’ll learn why mouth breathing is breaking down your system, how simple nose breathing can induce deep calm and clarity, and why syncing your diet to the seasons could be the immune and digestive reset you’ve been looking for.

This is more than a conversation about health—it's an invitation to return to the truth of who you are and live in harmony with the natural intelligence built into your body.
