Check out this video to learn more about my expertise.
Living at a yoga ashram and also having studied principles of eastern medicine and philosophy for the last several years, coupled with my background as a medical doctor and having attained board certification in Integrative medicine, gives me an expanded and well rounded container of knowledge from which to draw upon when counseling clients in all aspects of their lives. A session with me ends with about 15 minutes of breathing exercises and 10 minutes of chanting. For the last year I’ve been studying and practicing kundalini yoga so chanting and breathing techniques are now a part of my daily practice and I like to introduce that to clients because these are tools that are so important for maintaining mental clarity and balance.

Each major chakra is connected to a major nerve plexus and 1-2 endocrine glands, which connect to the brain via the vagus nerve. Via our neural network, unbalanced chakras exert hormonal changes in our bodies at the level of protein transcription in our cells. Initially, unbalanced chakras manifest as recognizable psychological traits. Chronically unbalanced chakras lead to physical illness.
Understanding the science of chakras requires understanding the fundamentals of light, energy, and Newtonian physics.
Yoga of any kind, the union of mind, body and spirit, produces scientifically measurable biological upgrades to our body. Yoga and meditation lower blood pressure, reduce cortisol levels, improve oxygen exchange, boost the immune system, improve digestion, and much more. Surprisingly, the numerous health benefits and body sculpting afforded through yoga are actually just a side effect of the primary intention of asana practice (postures), which is to awaken the Kundalini energy within us through the geometry of asanas thus activating targeted areas of the brain when coupled with certain breathing techniques. This occurs when our bodies are physically aligned in certain postures, In physical types of yoga such as Vinyasa, Hatha, and Ashtanga yoga, as well classical Indian dance forms employing mudras, the postures we assume have been scientifically documented countless times by ancient yogis and now through modern science to engage targeted areas of our brain at will.
The technology of yoga can be thought of like our Dish network antenna on the roof of our home that allows us access to an ever-expanding network of channels and TV shows when properly positioned. Through yoga, we geometrically position our bodies to become antennas picking up the higher vibrational transmissions of Source Consciousness that we can then download into the context of our individual ego structures and integrate into our thoughts, actions, and interactions with others.
Chakra in Sanskrit means wheel, and refers to a powerful ball of energy that emanates from us and exerts physical, emotional, and spiritual influence over us. Each of the 7 major chakras is 2-4 inches in diameter when active, lies along the spine, and vibrates at a frequency corresponding to a specific color of the visible light spectrum. Each major chakra is connected to a major nerve plexus and 1-2 endocrine glands, which connect to the brain via the vagus nerve.
Via our neural network, unbalanced chakras exert hormonal changes in our bodies at the level of protein transcription in our cells. Initially, unbalanced chakras manifest as recognizable psychological traits. Chronically unbalanced chakras lead to physical illness.
In this video, Dr. Deepak Chopra, at age 75, shares his wisdom. When asked how to navigate your mind out of the pitfall of negative emotions and responses to life's everyday hardships, Deepak Chopra responds:
"Ask yourself what are you grateful for, and observe and feelings or sensations you are feeling-you will snap out of it."
Ellen asks Deepak why yoga and not pushups for his choice as a physical fitness activity:
"Yoga has a specific effect on the vagus nerve, and right now the world is in sympathetic overdrive. "
Also in this video, Ellen asks Deepak why he looks so young despite his age of 75. Deepak Chopra responds that he doesn't just look young, but that according to biomarkers used in Functional Medicine such as telomerase and inflammatory markers, he is able to see that the physical and genetic composition of his body is that of a young human.
Telomerase helps to elongate telomeres - the caps at the ends of each double helix of DNA inside the nucleus of each cell in our bodies.
Conceptually, telomeres can be thought of as the caps at the ends of our shoelaces placed such that the individual strands of thread do not unravel-telomeres maintain the integrity of our genetic code.
Learn how to preserve your telomeres and lengthen your lifespan by checking out my video entitled
