Health, Ayurveda & Sports Medicine
Dr. John Douillard, DC
Tuesday, October 24, 2023
Use Ayurvedic psychology, yogic breathwork, dosha balancing, and circadian medicine — all backed by science — to refine subtle awareness and take transformational action to free yourself from physical, mental, and emotional blocks that hinder your wellbeing and shorten your life.
You’ve probably taken steps to protect your wellbeing and increase your years. Perhaps you meditate, exercise, are careful with your diet, and use supplements.
What if living a healthy, long life goes much deeper than that? Even beyond diet, DNA, and other hereditary factors?
The Ayurvedic philosophies of ancient India show us that some of the most powerful elements of living a conscious, loving, healthy, and long life involve easing chronic stress.
In our fast-paced modern world, though, how can you avoid chronic stress — one of the major causes of early death?
It starts with rewriting particular parts of the “storyboard” for how your health has unfolded, reaching back into childhood to heal inner wounds.
This inner work is vitally important to your health — studies suggest that 95% of the things we think, say, and do as adults come from impressions from our first six years of life!
Join us for a powerful 7-week course in which John Douillard, DC, recognized leader in the fields of natural health and Ayurveda, weaves modern science with Ayurvedic philosophies to help you shift physical and emotional patterns.
John will guide you to use the tools of yogic breathwork, meditation, self-inquiry — and dosha, digestion, lymph, and circadian balancing — along with a transformational 4-day Kaya Kalpa Cleanse...
... to boost stem-cell production and cellular anti-aging repair.
You’ll work on the subtle energy layers of your body — called the koshas — to free your body from mental, physical, and emotional blocks that may have been lodged in your system since early childhood, alienating you from your truth.
As you’ll discover, Ayurvedic philosophy shows you how to tap into your most subtle and powerful self, as well as your life’s purpose, or dharma.
This helps you shift physical and emotional patterns to find balance and better health — and to connect with the healing power of your own spirituality.
During your seven weeks together, John will help you find balance, connecting to youthful energy and the benefits of joy and contentment.
This course will help you recognize that subtle yet cumulative stressors held in your body are a major obstacle to optimal health — and how to work with your breath, herbs, and nature to promote longevity, and achieve your full human potential.
In fact, living in sync with nature is a science known as circadian medicine.
In Ayurveda, and in traditional cultures around the world, living in sync with nature is, of course, only natural to bring you health, fulfillment, and joy for years to come.
John will share how to build — right into your daily life — practical ways of listening to your body and the rhythms of nature.
During this powerful course, you’ll explore:
- The anatomy of and Ayurvedic take on breathing, digestion, and your lymphatic system
- How to use breathing to enhance self-awareness and neuroplasticity — and change old emotional patterns
- How to use intention and biophotons to elicit a healing response — even at great distances
- How non-attached giving changes your genetic code
- The science of psychobiotics and how microbes, plants, and humans all depend on each other
- The digestion-lymph connection and how to evaluate and restore optimal lymphatic function (in Ayurveda, this is the study of longevity)
- The Ayurvedic clock and how to live life going downstream, without so much effort and exhaustion
- How to wake up, go to sleep, and eat at the right times
- How to revisit eating seasonally — and start to plan a winter diet
- Ways to become more aware of your unwanted patterns of behavior — and set in motion the steps needed to free you from decades of emotional stress — in the silence of meditation
- A transformational 4-day Kaya Kalpa Cleanse you can practice at home that’s been found to boost stem-cell production and cellular anti-aging repair
- How trapped emotions, along with environmental pollutants, are stored in our fat cells — and released at a moment’s notice when we feel threatened
No matter your health circumstances, you can boost your longevity and age gracefully — and thankfully, the practices you’ll need to make this possible are surprisingly simple to build right into your daily life.
From weak digestion to shallow breathing, poor sleep to chronic pain, degenerative diseases to emotional difficulties, and more — you’ll learn to overcome obstacles to your wellbeing and longevity.
John has helped thousands of people look beyond their symptoms to the root causes of their physical and emotional imbalances.
He teaches that Ayurvedic principles of conscious longevity can not only boost your immunity and capacity for joy — but also provide an approach to your health and life that can help you stay calm and rooted in who you truly are, no matter what life brings your way.

This course will feature LIVE teachings, interactive training sessions, experiential practices, and Q&A with John. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to age consciously with Ayurvedic wisdom and modern science.
Module 1: Conscious Aging — Where Science Meets the Ancient Wisdom of Ayurveda for True Longevity (October 24)
Longevity is not a measure of years lived — it’s an opportunity to become conscious before our precious time on Earth is up. Learn what it means to live consciously according to the ancient practice of Ayurveda.
Since childhood, we’ve been unconsciously ruled by and addicted to a reward-based brain chemistry dependent on approval, appreciation, and consumerism — often at the expense of long-term health and happiness.
When we don’t experience immediate gratification, we feel discontent, which leads to chronic stress. Science tells us stress can lead to depression, cognitive decline, heart disease, cancer, and other life-threatening diseases.
Be introduced to systems that set the foundation for conscious longevity. In the weeks to come, John will guide you to dive deeper into these concepts and put them into practice.
In this module, you’ll:
- Become conscious of the fact that you’re unconscious
- Explore Ayurvedic psychology and the Dhanur Veda — the Veda (or ancient Hindu text) of transformation — and how to tap into your most subtle and powerful self, as well as to your life’s purpose, or dharma
- Discover the science of rasayana, the Ayurvedic study of longevity
- Understand the pace of a sattvic, peaceful life
- Learn to get in sync with your circadian clock for better sleep and more balanced energy throughout your day
- Recognize the anatomy and Ayurvedic take on breathing, digestion, and your lymphatic system
- Move through a breathing exercise Dr. John calls “creating the eye of the storm” to help you stay calm anywhere, anytime
- Participate in a one-minute meditation for resetting your nervous system
Module 2: Ayurvedic Psychology to Reduce Stress & Fortify the True You (October 31)
Ayurveda was created to bring the body into balance in order to enhance self-awareness — which allows us to separate the truth from untruth, and take transformational action.
Translated, “Ayurveda” means ayus (life) and veda (truth). Indeed, the true purpose of Ayurveda is to reveal the truth of your life!
Take a deeper dive into Ayurvedic psychology, learning how apply two foundational principles:
- The extent to which something or someone affects you is the extent to which you’re able to take transformational action — this is your karma.
- Do not be attached to the fruits of your actions.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- How to balance your koshas, or the sheaths of your subtle body
- How to put lessons from the Dhanur Veda into practice and take transformational action
- Self-inquiry to become conscious and free
- A writing exercise to help you tap into true feelings, followed by guidance on how to act on what you’ve learned
- How non-attached giving changes your genetic code
- The science of psychobiotics and how microbes, plants, and humans all depend on each other
- The power of prayer through the science of biophotons
Module 3: Breathing Practices for Enhanced Self-Awareness, Lymphatic Health & Longevity (November 7)
Chairs — a relatively recent invention — may be the nemesis of longevity! Sitting, slouching, and lounging literally drive the diaphragm down into a contracted state, making it impossible to take a full breath.
The insidious result is devastating: Your oxygen – carbon-dioxide – nitric-oxide balance is disturbed, potentially leading to overbreathing, anxiety, apnea, heart disease, stroke, obesity, developmental issues, indigestion, lymph congestion, breast and other cancers, and a shortened lifespan.
Discover why breathing is the key that unlocks approximately 90% of our human potential — raising your vibration and freeing you from unwanted emotions and insatiable desires.
John will explain how most of us suffer from tissue hypoxia, and the risk of mutagenic stem cells that increase the risk of cancers.
Evidence-based Ayurvedic breathing practices can release oxygen from the blood and restore optimal tissue and brain oxygenation, increasing self-awareness, rejuvenating stem cells, lowering blood sugar and blood pressure, and more.
Learn how your diaphragm, your body’s major breathing muscle, is also its major lymphatic pump, flushing toxic substances from your brain, belly, skin, and joints. Proper pranayama breathing practices are major lymph movers and powerful rasayanas, or longevity super tools.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- The benefits of breathing through your nose instead of your mouth
- A home yoga-pranayama practice to help you boost self-awareness and lymphatic health
- The lymphatic benefits of breathing
- How to use breathing to enhance self-awareness and neuroplasticity, and change old emotional patterns
- A slow breathing practice to help you reach more subtle states of being
- How to practice kumbhaka, or breath holding, for improving mood and energy levels, as well as reducing stress
Module 4: The Digestion-Lymph Connection — Seasonal Diets to Restore Digestive Balance (November 14)
According to Ayurveda, 85% of all disease originates from digestive imbalances. Today, 74% of Americans suffer from some form of indigestion, suggesting most are at risk for an unnecessary degenerative concern due to an unresolved digestive issue.
Meanwhile, bestselling books and other resources convince us that the solution is to take foods that are harder to digest out of our diets. From grains and goitrogens to nuts and nightshades, we’re told that our problem is food.
However, both research studies and ancient wisdom tell us this isn’t true.
Yes, you may feel better without lectin-rich grains, but the underlying digestive issue will remain unaddressed, only to surface years later as a more aggressive health concern. Digesting well requires the same hardware as detoxifying.
Removing a food group may help a digestive symptom — but it won’t help you digest and detox the mercury from coal-plant plumes, or the 70-plus million tons of toxic substances that the EPA reports are dumped into the U.S. environment annually.
As you’ll discover, conscious longevity helps you troubleshoot the most common digestive imbalances and address each issue with the right foods and plants — to restore balance so we can all digest like 18-year-olds again.
In this module, you’ll discover how to:
- Troubleshoot each stage of digestion
- Stop taking foods out of your diet to solve your digestive concerns
- Implement seasonal eating, which will diversify and align your diet and digestion
- Repair your specific digestive imbalance with foods and herbs
- Understand the digestion-lymph connection and evaluate and restore optimal lymphatic function (in Ayurveda, this is the study of longevity)
Module 5: Sync Up Your Daily & Seasonal Biological Clocks — Circadian Rhythms for Better Days, Restful Nights & a Longer Life (November 28)
Explore the science behind circadian medicine, and learn how to apply it to your daily life. Science now understands that biological clocks are turning off and on in each cell throughout the day, and with each season.
Modern life has largely ignored natural rhythms for when to eat, sleep, and wake. The result is a disturbance in the way trillions of microbes in the soil, our guts, and our foods are in constant communication with each other.
Called a holobiont, this disturbance is now understood as a fundamental cause of disease. Obesity, aging, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and a host of other age-related concerns are all linked to a lifestyle out of sync with natural rhythms.
Let Ayurveda teach you how to go with the flow.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- The Ayurvedic clock and how to live life going downstream, without as much effort and exhaustion
- How to wake up, go to sleep, and eat at the right times
- An Ayurvedic daily routine in sync with nature’s circadian rhythms and your biological clock
- How to revisit eating seasonally — and start to plan a winter diet
- How the right microbes in each season can boost immunity in winter, help decongest in spring, and dissipate heat in summer
- The meaning of Nature Deficiency Disorder, how to assess whether you suffer from it, and how to prevent it
- Ayurvedic intermittent fasting and calorie restriction
- How to practice a no-artificial-light weekend to reset your circadian clock
Module 6: Ayurvedic Life Extension — Boost Stem-Cell Production & Anti-Aging Repair With a 4-Day At-Home Cleansing & Rejuvenating Spiritual Retreat (December 5)
According to Dhanur Veda, to make permanent transformational changes, your mind, body, and spirit must be in sync, without emotional distraction.
Learn how molecules of emotion — mental ama in Ayurveda — are recorded, stored, and keep us locked in unwanted repetitive patterns of behavior we learned when we were kids.
To access these stored emotions (and the chemicals that arise from them), Ayurveda traditionally prescribed a regular cleansing practice to initiate a state of fat burning. This was typically done a few times a year with the change of the seasons.
Using a process now studied in Western science called lipophilic mediated detoxification, environmental and emotional pollutants are effectively removed from the body.
John will introduce the transformational 4-day Kaya Kalpa Cleanse you can implement at home. It puts all the tools you’ve learned so far into action — including self-inquiry, yoga, breathwork, meditation, and circadian living.
During the cleanse, molecules of emotion will be released from the brain and fat cells — via a stem-cell activation cleanse using ghee and a mono-diet of kitchari, made of rice and mung beans.
You’ll pull back the bow of self-awareness and transformation, so when you do take aim at a goal — or your future — you’ll feel more steady and sure.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- Ways to become more aware of your unwanted patterns of behavior — and set in motion the steps needed to free you from decades of emotional stress — in the silence of meditation
- How trapped emotions, along with environmental pollutants, are stored in our fat cells — and released at a moment’s notice when we feel threatened
- The transformational 4-day Kaya Kalpa Cleanse you can practice at home
- The power of the lipophilic mediated detoxification process, based on the transformational practice of Kaya Kalpa — in which self-inquiry, circadian medicine, and a digestive reset are combined with yoga, breathing, and meditation
- How Kaya Kalpa has recently been found to boost stem-cell production and cellular anti-aging repair
Module 7: Integrating the Ayurvedic Approach to Conscious Aging in Your Everyday Life (Plus, an Extended Q&A on the Kaya Kalpa Cleanse) (December 12)
John will guide you to pull all the conscious-longevity practices you’ve learned together to ensure benefits that last far beyond these seven weeks.
John will review the most salient points of Ayurveda psychology, optimal digestion, exercise, and daily and seasonal circadian practices.
He’ll also review how to effectively integrate the breathing practices you’ve learned into your yoga and meditation practices.
An extended Q&A session will allow you and your fellow participants to fully unpack your experiences and questions from the 4-day Kaya Kalpa Cleanse.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- Key takeaways from Ayurvedic psychology, self-inquiry, restoring digestive health, circadian medicine, and living in sync with nature
- How to apply yoga, breathwork, and meditation to your daily life to become fully conscious
- How one of the most powerful truths of Ayurveda unfolds in your life — the truth that the more subtle an influence, the more powerful its effect
- Results and benefits of the 4-day Kaya Kalpa Cleanse

“... a HUGE gain in health.”
As an editor for such publications as Yoga Journal and Natural Health, I see a lot of “detox plans.” [Dr. John Douillard’s Colorado Cleanse] is a cleanse based on a clear understanding of body dynamics. It’s not about suffering — fasting, denial — but about working with your own body rhythms to create better health. My own results were undeniable: I lost 11 pounds. More importantly, my blood pressure dropped from 160/98 to 125/75. That is a HUGE gain in health.
