Ancestral Foundations to Optimal Health with Dr. Ravi Gornall

Today we talk with Dr. Ravi Gornall, a functional & integrative medicine GP, who applies ancestral principles in the treatment of her patients. Ravi became interested in functional and integrative medicine after her own health journey and the birth of her three children. She completed the ADAPT Functional Medicine Practitioner Training Program with the Kresser Institute and is currently working towards a Master of Integrative Medicine at Southern Cross University and a fellowship with the Australasian Integrative Medicine Association. We talk about the ancestral foundations to optimal health and preventive medicine in line with her new 6 week foundation program. This includes ancestral approaches to nutrition, the role of sleep and circadian biology, stress management, nature and the environment, and the importance of community and connection.
