Welcome to #IntegrativeWellness Stream on TopHealth, where we go deep into the intersection of traditional practices and modern health solutions. In today's episode, hosts Vivek Nanda, Founder TopHealth, and Smita Majumder, Founder AAYU, take a critical look at the current healthcare system's reliance on pharmaceutical treatments over natural, preventative methods. They explore the heavy influence of pharmaceutical companies and discuss alternatives like Ayurveda, a holistic approach with fewer side effects.

Tune in as they highlight the benefits of incorporating Ayurvedic practices, such as using turmeric, ginger, and black pepper for inflammation, in lieu of commonly prescribed medications like Tylenol and naproxen, which carry various health risks. They also address the broader mission of Smita’s company, AAYU, which focuses on men's and women's health, aiming to break societal stigmas and provide natural wellness solutions.

We'll discuss the importance of addressing root causes of health issues, the need for balance between pharmaceuticals and natural remedies, and the upcoming launch of AAYU's product line.
