Dr. Karuna Sabnani, Founder of Karuna Naturopathic Healthcare & Ayurvedic Doctor
Dr. Karuna Sabnani treats disease with modalities beyond conventional medication – she believes that optimum health can be achieved through approaches that value what nature has to offer, herbalism, contemplation, and most notably, feeding your senses. As a speaker and teacher of the principles of pleasure, Dr. Karuna is a naturopathic doctor with a deep understanding of holistic health.
I feel a personal appreciation for her work because I have found that my own journey back to wellness has depended on fostering a more nature-centric approach to life and an awareness that “consumption” is a lot more than what you eat. Dr. Karuna’s work validates all of this for me.
We discuss so much in this conversation, including naturopathic vs conventional healthcare, pleasure as medicine, and some great wellness tips to get you through the holiday season.
