Self-care is important to entrepreneurs and online business owners. I know this well, having been unable to work due to chronic illness in the past. In this episode of The Sigrun Show, I welcome a guest for a fascinating conversation about health and wellness, and why entrepreneurs should consider following the principles of Ayurveda in their everyday lives.
Dr. med. Janna Scharfenberg is an Ayurveda expert who wants more than to help her patients get well – she teaches them to live a healthy life. She is a medical practitioner, a certified yoga teacher, and the author of the bestselling book Ayurveda for Life. Janna teaches her clients, including other health professionals, about the Ayurveda way and how to run a health and wellness business through training, coaching, and workshops.
Janna joins me to share what inspired her to use and apply Ayurveda—a traditional method applied to the wellness of a whole person’s system—in today’s modern living. She discusses the biggest myths she’s had to dispel as well as how to follow the lifestyle even without the original Indian oils and spices. She also discusses the pivot she made in her business model and her exciting plans ahead as a result of her business transition.
