    The Overlooked Key to Longevity: Breathing, Ayurveda, and Emotional Health | Dr. John Douillard
    Oct 7 2025
    What if the most powerful tool for your health, stress resilience, and longevity wasn't a supplement or biohack—but something you're already doing 20,000 times a day? In this transformative episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with Dr. John Douillard—pioneering expert in Ayurveda and Sports Medicine, founder of LifeSpa, and author of seven health books including the bestseller Eat Wheat—to reveal why your diaphragm may be the most underrated key to emotional and physical health. Dr. Douillard shares groundbreaking research showing that 91% of elite athletes have dysfunctional diaphragms, how shallow breathing keeps us trapped in chronic stress, and why simple breathing shifts can reverse heartburn, lower blood pressure, boost immunity, and even prevent cognitive decline—all without adding a single thing to your to-do list.
