In this video, I talk to Dr. Bhaswati Bhattacharya about Ayurveda and how it might help society pursue global sustainability. In the conversation, she talks about her journey, how Ayurveda relates to global sustainability, and a vision for the future of global and community health.
Dr. Bhaswati Bhattacharya is a licensed, board-certified MD physician-scientist and writer, practicing integrative medicine in NY and CA, working to bring the wisdom and science of authentic traditional medicines such as Ayurveda and yoga into the mainstream using evidence. She serves as Clinical Assistant Professor of Family Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College in Manhattan and sits on NIH committees evaluating research on integrative treatments for patient care. She completed a mid-career PhD in ancient Ayurvedic chemistry from Banaras Hindu University.

She is a senior Fulbright Scholar in medical sciences, a Fulbright Specialist in global public health, and a WHO-GTMC Consultant. She is recipient of the Leadership Award by the American Medical Association, and she is the first Indian to speak at Commencement Exercises at Harvard University.
