After 18 years in critical care and emergency medicine, Krysta Clark kept witnessing the same heartbreaking pattern: patients cycling through the ER doors with preventable conditions, young adults facing advanced-stage cancers, and a system focused on treating symptoms rather than asking "why?"

That's when she discovered something that changed everything.

In this eye-opening conversation, Krysta shares her journey from ER nurse to Ayurvedic Practitioner and Functional Health Coach at Karmaveda Wellness. She's not abandoning modern medicine – she's enhancing it by integrating 5,000 years of preventive wisdom with life-saving Western interventions.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why our "healthcare" system is really "sick care" – and what that costs us
• How Ayurveda identifies imbalances and addresses root causes before symptoms appear
• The power of seeing patients as whole beings: body, mind, and spirit
• Recognizing addiction and attachment – not just to substances, but to stress, work, and coping mechanisms
• Why uncomfortable symptoms might be redirections, not failures
• Finding windows of opportunity to have different conversations with patients

This conversation is for you if:

This conversation is for you if:

• You're a healthcare provider interested in a more holistic approach to patient care
• You're looking for new perspectives on health and wellness
• You're curious about integrating ancient wisdom with modern medicine
• You're ready to ask: "What if there's more to health than what we've been taught?"

The future of healthcare isn't about choosing between stethoscopes and pulse diagnosis, pharmaceuticals and herbs, treating symptoms and addressing root causes. It's about integration. It's about honoring both worlds.

Join us for a conversation that challenges everything we think we know about healing – and plants seeds for a more holistic approach to health and wellness.
