Description

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or overwhelmed when it comes to your health — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep guessing. Welcome to The Healing Catalyst Podcast, where science meets soul — and healing meets real life. Hosted by Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh, a Western-trained physician and lifelong practitioner of Ayurveda, this podcast is your invitation to take your health into your own hands. With over two decades of experience integrating modern medicine and ancient healing traditions, Dr. Avanti is on a mission to change the way we think about health — making it more holistic, more inclusive, and more human. Each week, you’ll hear conversations with leading experts in integrative medicine and mind-body healing — along with authors, teachers, and thought leaders — to explore what it really takes to cultivate health and longevity. Dr. Avanti simplifies the science of the core pillars of well-being — gut microbiome, nervous system balance, hormonal regulation, and circadian rhythm — all through the lens of time-tested practices that support the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. And because women’s health is too often overlooked or misunderstood, she focuses on it here — with real, actionable guidance for navigating burnout, fertility, sexual well-being, perimenopause, and menopause with clarity and confidence. The Healing Catalyst Podcast is your home for knowledge, tools, and inspiration to stop chasing symptoms, and start living in true health and wellbeing. New episodes drop on Tuesdays. Follow now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen — and start your journey to empowered, sustainable health.
