Optimize Your Energy: Integrating Ayurveda and Modern Science
Hadlee Garrison holds a biopsychology and health-behaviour background from Michigan — and pairs it with Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of daily rhythm. The overlap is where her clients find their energy.
Hadlee's unusual combination — behaviour-change science plus traditional Ayurvedic practice — lets her translate between worlds: circadian science and dinacharya (daily routine), nervous-system regulation and doshas, habit research and ancient sequencing of the day. Where the two systems agree, she pays special attention.
The long conversation covers morning and evening routines that actually stick, eating for steady energy, and why behaviour-change science says most wellness advice fails (hint: it ignores identity and environment). Take the framework that fits — the practical core is solid either way.
