From Illness to Wellness: Reclaiming Health Through Ayurveda | Dr Vivek Ahuja | TEDxKIS Noida Youth
What if health means more than just not being sick, but a deeper balance inside us? In this game-changing talk, Dr. Vivek Ahuja, a doctor and Ayurveda expert, questions how modern healthcare reacts to problems and gives a new meaning to true health. Using his 15+ years of treating patients and old Ayurvedic knowledge, he shows how our wellness depends on balanced doshas, understanding our emotions, and staying close to nature. Through powerful comparisons—like how our heart never stops beating or how amazing a single cell is—Dr. Ahuja asks us to stop relying so much on pills and tests. Instead, he wants us to take care of ourselves by following the seasons, eating, and doing daily routines. With real stories about his patients and tips you can use, this talk encourages you to heal yourself and find a lasting way from being sick to being well. Dr. Vivek Ahuja, with over 15 years of experience in Ayurvedic medicine and healthcare, serves as the Director of four multispecialty hospitals and is the Founder of Hitayu Healthcare. Honoured by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, he has treated over 10,000 patients and currently holds the position of Secretary at NIMA Chandigarh. His expertise spans Nadi Pariksha, Panchakarma, preventive healthcare, and hospital management, reflecting a deep commitment to integrative and patient-centric healing practices.
