Balancing the Scales: The Power of Ayurveda with Mark Bunn

02/25/24 • 53 min

In this episode of The Balanced Leader Podcast, Mark Bunn, a former professional AFL player and expert in Ayurvedic medicine and Dharmic living, shares his insights and experiences that led him to explore Eastern medicine and a better way of living.

Mark emphasises the importance of integrating wellness into daily life and focusing less on the ceaseless and conflicting health advice, and focusing more on tuning into the body and our natural rhythms. He discusses the significance of Ayurveda, the body's natural rhythms, the impact of social connections and the role of biophilic design in workplaces.

Mark also explores the concept of 'earthing' or 'grounding', the role it plays in our physical health and wellbeing and how we can get more grounded. In the last part of the interview we talk about the key areas of recovery, reconnection, and reinvention in enhancing our wellbeing.
