 Today we joined by Jon Gordon, a visionary, thinker, and innovator working at the crossroads of healthcare, finance and consciousness. Jon brings over a decade of experience in the healthcare industry, spanning strategy consulting for hospitals and health systems, payer business strategy, medical product management, and startup development, while also being deeply rooted in yoga.

Holistic wellness and the emerging paradigm of decentralized finance. Jon is a graduate of Northwestern University with a BA in Economics, and he went on to earn a double Master's in Health Economics and Policy at both the University of Chicago and the London School of Economics. Alongside his academic and professional expertise, Jon is also a certified Himalayan Kriya yoga teacher and an author exploring the profound connections between Bitcoin and yoga.

For the past four years, Jon has immersed himself in the Bitcoin space, not just as a student of financial systems, but as a community builder and Austin's vibrant Bitcoin scene. He also has co-founded two ventures at the intersection of Bitcoin and healthcare, re-imagining how money and medicine can work together for collective wellbeing.

This conversation, Jon and Sasha explore:

• The 80-year cycle of finance and the lessons it offers us today
• Bitcoin as a decentralized store of value and a potential game changer for time, health, and human empowerment
• How embracing change and deepening financial literacy can help us prepare for the future of currency
• The integration of Bitcoin into healthcare, including Ayurveda, Yoga teacher trainings and other holistic practices

People may want to invest in the vision of a new paradigm where money and health merge, creating a reality where value exchange supports both healing and human flourishing. This is a powerful conversation at the frontier of Ayurveda, yoga, and financial evolution; a reminder that the way we think about money is inseparable from the way that we think about our health, our time, and our freedom.

Today in part three of our Ayurvedic psychology series, we focus on the Sattvic lifestyle, the daily habits and way of being that enable us to reside in a Sattvic state of consciousness, the one and only state that does not create disease. We'll explore how living in a Sattvic way is more than just a diet or a daily routine.

It's a way of aligning your mind, body, and spirit in a way that creates mental clarity, emotional stability, and deep vitality. An Ayurveda lifestyle directly shapes the mind, the foods we eat, sleep hygiene, environment, and the thoughts we cultivate, influences the qualities of consciousness. Sattva, clarity and harmony, Rajas, activity and restlessness, and Tamas, heaviness and inertia.

We'll also examine Tamasic and Rajasic lifestyles so you can see how habits, patterns, and thought processes create agitation, dullness or imbalance, and learn how to shift towards Sattvic living with awareness and ease. Whether you're new to Ayurveda or looking to deepen your personal practice, this episode will guide you through practical, simple strategies, lifestyle, rituals and mindset shifts to embody Sattva in your daily life and cultivate a mind that is peaceful, clear, and aligned with your highest self.

 Prem KV has been a seeker since childhood. After studying agriculture in India, he worked as a plant scientist in Melbourne. Drawn back to his roots, he embraced the life of a Brahmachari, or monk, in Sadhguru's ashram for 15 years, exploring the inner dimensions of life. Since then, he has dedicated himself to sharing the essence of Indian culture.

He has been traveling across the country, visiting and filming powerful temples and sacred spaces for the last six years. His YouTube videos, garnering over 4 million views, have showcased powerful temples and sacred spaces across the country. Notable works include the Sadhguru ShriBrahma series, which explores the life of a great yogi from a century ago, and the Himalayan series offering Rare Insights into Uttarakhand's revered Temples.

Prem's work inspires individuals to reconnect with their roots and contribute to preserving India's rich culture and spiritual heritage. In today's episode, we journey into the realm of sacred architecture, embodied temples, and the role of Sadhana and modern life. Ancient temples in India weren't just places of worship. They were spiritual technologies designed with precision, purpose, and chronic intelligence. Built at energy vortexes aligned with celestial rhythms and vibrating with mantras and sacred geometry. These temples were constructed not just to honor the divine, but to transform the human.

But what happens when we no longer live near ancient temples? What happens when we live in cities of noise, speed, and distraction?

Today's conversation invites us to remember that the temple is not lost. It simply waits to be awakened within us. We'll explore how the body itself is a sacred temple, how to design meaningful temple spaces at home, and how daily sadana our devotional practice can serve as an offering that aligns us with our inner Sri Brahma, the still point of divine intelligence at the core of all things.

Whether you're a seeker, a householder, or someone simply yearning to reconnect with the sacred in a modern world, this episode will guide you back to the inner sanctum through sound, breath, ritual, and remembrance that temples are not merely relics of the past. They are living technologies meant to awaken the temple within each of us.

 Today we dive deeper into the layers of the mind and personality with Ayurvedic Psychology 102: The 3 Doshas and the 3 Gunas.

At the heart of Ayurveda lies a timeless template. One that explains not just your body and mind, but consciousness itself through the lens of the five elements and their expressions as the Doshas and Gunas.

This isn't just about understanding your stress responses or emotional habits, though that's part of it. It's about learning to see the world through the lens of nature's intelligence. We'll begin with the 3 Doshas:

1. Vata, the principle of movement and change; creative, spontaneous, but prone to anxiety and fragmentation.
2. Pitta, the force of transformation focused, passionate, and discerning yet can burn out or become irritable.
3. Kapa, the energy of structure and cohesion, loving, loyal and calm, but sometimes resistant to change.

And then we'll move into the 3 Gunas, the subtle forces of the mind:

1. Sattva brings clarity, peace, and harmony.
2. Rajas brings action, ambition, and restlessness.
3. Tamma brings stillness, but also inertia, confusion or ignorance.

These 6 forces, the three Doshas and the three Gunas form a living map of consciousness. They help us understand why we feel, what we feel, do what we do, and how to come back into alignment with our higher self.

When you begin to see yourself and others through this elemental lens, life starts to make more sense. You stop personalizing everything and start realizing and relating to your experience with compassion, insight, and greater freedom.

Dr. Manas Kshirsagar  is an Ayurvedic doctor who comes from a Rig Vedic Brahman tradition with an extensive Ayurvedic background. He graduated from Aloha Ayurveda Academy and the Maharishi University of Management. He's an acclaimed wellness consultant, Ayurvedic consultant and health educator. He provides a holistic approach to medicine, including nutrition, yoga, meditation, detoxification, and effective stress management.

Today we're diving into a topic that's reshaping how we think about modern health, the profound connection between our gut and our mind. You've probably heard the phrase trust your gut, but do you know what makes your gut so trustworthy? Modern science says it is our second brain: the Enteric Nervous System.

The ENS is a vast network of over a hundred million neurons embedded in the walls of our digestive tract, mostly in the small intestine and colon. That's seven to eight times more neurons than in the spinal cord, which contains around 13.5 million. Our brain contains around 86 billion neurons. Our gut does not just follow orders from the brain.

It processes reacts and even remembers patterns and digestion and emotion. It functions independently of the brain, but also communicates with it locally via the vagus nerve. It communicates with the rest of the body through nerves. It uses neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine and actually produces 90 to 95% of serotonin.

Both the brain and gut play a major role in mood immunity and digestion both have their own reflexes, sensory neurons and motor neurons, and both respond to stress and emotion, like how anxiety can cause diarrhea. Your gut feels emotional shifts even before your brain processes them, which is why you might get a gut feeling like butterflies or stomach upset during stress.

And Ayurveda, this beautifully mirrors the idea that Agni or digestive fire is central to not just physical health, but mental health and emotional resilience. The gut is also a home for Ojas, our vital immunity and vitality. So if our ENS is inflamed or disrupted, our whole system is compromised. In today's episode, we'll explore the enteric nervous system, the complex neural network in your belly that's ultimately connected to your brain.

We'll unpack how digestive orders like IBS, bloating and constipation are not just physical issues, but often reflections of deeper emotional patterns. We'll also look at how chronic stress, anxiety, and depression can disrupt our gut's natural rhythm, and how Ayurveda and modern science together offer tools for healing from the inside out.

Whether you've struggled with digestion, mood, or both, this episode offers insights to help you feel more grounded, nourished, and connected with your own inner intelligence.
