Ancient Wisdom For Modern Wellness: Rediscovering The Foundations Of Health - with Paul Vincent, Human Performance Expert

We often talk about health as something to manage or fix—but what if we’ve misunderstood it altogether? In this episode, we explore what it really means to be well through the lenses of ancient wisdom, tribal culture, and Taoist philosophy. 

Host Dr. Jason Arora is joined by human performance expert Paul Vincent, who spent decades training top performers before spending the last 10 years immersed in Indigenous tribal communities, Taoist teachings, and the study of psychedelic therapy. Together, they explore what these very different systems can teach us about the mind-body connection, the role of community, our relationship to nature, and the importance of ritual and purpose.
