The Healing Catalyst

by Dr. Avanti Kumar Singh

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or overwhelmed when it comes to your health — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep guessing. Welcome to The Healing Catalyst Podcast, where science meets soul — and healing meets real life. Hosted by Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh, a Western-trained physician and lifelong practitioner of Ayurveda, this podcast is your invitation to take your health into your own hands. With over two decades of experience integrating modern medicine and ancient healing traditions, Dr. Avanti is on a mission to change the way we think about health — making it more holistic, more inclusive, and more human. Each week, you’ll hear conversations with leading experts in integrative medicine and mind-body healing — along with authors, teachers, and thought leaders — to explore what it really takes to cultivate health and longevity. Dr. Avanti simplifies the science of the core pillars of well-being — gut microbiome, nervous system balance, hormonal regulation, and circadian rhythm — all through the lens of time-tested practices that support the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. And because women’s health is too often overlooked or misunderstood, she focuses on it here — with real, actionable guidance for navigating burnout, fertility, sexual well-being, perimenopause, and menopause with clarity and confidence. The Healing Catalyst Podcast is your home for knowledge, tools, and inspiration to stop chasing symptoms, and start living in true health and wellbeing. New episodes drop on Tuesdays. Follow now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen — and start your journey to empowered, sustainable health.

I learn a lot with each episode and love the calm vibe Avanti brings.

Leann5778 · Dec 2025

I’ve been intrigued by the Ayurvedic perspective for a few years now, but it seemed too complex and overwhelming to fully embrace and shift into being raised and steeped daily in Western culture. Then, lo and behold, I heard Dr. Singh’s interview on the Good Life Project podcast in December, and I was hooked. She did such a beautiful job explaining the principles, and made it seem like it is absolutely possible to begin transitioning into an Ayurveda-focused lifestyle. I immediately started listening to this podcast from the very beginning, with the goal of taking in every episode. I’m loving ‘em all! Her presentation is spot on, the content is easy to understand, her voice is calm and soothing, and she shares just the right amount of content to digest for each episode. I’ve purchased both of her books, eager to take it all in. I’m confident that I can do this now, and SO grateful to you, Dr. Singh, for your willingness to share your approach and style via this podcast. Your way of delivering this information is just what I was looking for. I appreciate you and all you do to help us live healthy lives the Ayurvedic way! 🙏🏽

I always keep something to write with while listening to this podcast because the information is so good that I do not want to risk forgetting! Dr. Avanti Kumar Singh has created one of the best podcasts about Ayurveda and wellness available to us today. Her clear explanations of topics and roster of expert guests are inspiration for this to be at the top of my listening library. It is a true gift to have this knowledge available to us!

Lula Sara · Aug 2024

I absolutely love this podcast! I only recently discovered it, and not often do I start from the beginning, but I chose to with this one. I am so glad I did! Dr Avanti Kumar Singh is amazing and listening to her is incredibly informing, inspiring and keeps the information simple so that I can start to implement some of the Ayurvedic principles she shares. I also bought her book and love it too!! Thank you!
