The Longevity Formula: Ayurvedic Principles to Reduce Inflammation, Increase Cellular Repair, and Live with Vitality

Modern society has conditioned us to perceive aging as an unpleasant experience with a growing list of pain symptoms and an even longer list of prescription drugs. Esteemed Ayurvedic practitioner Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh invites us to reframe these beliefs by illuminating what is possible when we honor the passage of years and usher in the second stage of life as a time full of vitality and wisdom. During her career as an emergency room doctor, Dr. Avanti experienced a health crisis that Western medicine failed to address. In her search for answers, she was led back to Ayurveda, the ancient healing tradition of her South Asian roots. Now an Ayurvedic teacher, she seeks to share this sacred knowledge with us. In The Longevity Formula, Dr. Avanti distills her expertise with Ayurveda into easy-to-follow steps to help increase cellular repair and decrease inflammation—the foundation of the longevity formula. “The essence of Ayurveda is that we are not separate from nature,” says Dr. Avanti. “When we live in harmony with nature, we have optimal and vibrant health.” With this fundamental principle, she shows us how to adjust our daily living to support our health through protocols for nutrition, routines, and yoga. Filled with simple practices, The Longevity Formula builds gradual and sustainable habits, encouraging us to redefine wellness and create a harmonious lifestyle.
