In this first episode of Down Under Conversations, Justine Cohen sits down with Dr. Sharanya Srikumar, an Ayurvedic physician and doula, to explore the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda through the lens of women's health.
Dr. Sharanya trained in Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) in Chennai, India, before bringing her practice to the United States, where she blends classical Ayurvedic formulations with a modern understanding of gut-brain health, mental wellness, and the perinatal experience. As a certified labor and postpartum doula, her own journey through a twin pregnancy shaped her belief that true wellness starts with the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
In this conversation, Justine and Dr. Sharanya discuss:
🧬 How Ayurveda approaches the gut-brain connection and mental health
🤱🏻 The role of Ayurvedic practice in prenatal and postpartum care
🌍 What it means to treat wellness as a holistic, personalized system rather than a set of isolated symptoms
