Heart & Health

Preventive cardiology, weight and metabolism after 40, and the clinical evidence for yoga and medition in cardiovascular care. Books , articles, and the research.

02

Meditation & Awakening

Three decades of practice, Guidance going deep- from steadying the mind to the classical path of inner mastery described in yogic tradition.

Weight gain after 40 isn’t just about the numbers on the scale—it’s the exhaustion of managing fluctuating blood sugar and high blood pressure, heightened by the fear of heart attacks and strokes.

Restrictive diets fail, and weight loss drugs provide only a temporary fix unless taken for life, which has serious long-term consequences.

A slowing metabolism is not an inevitable part of aging but a biological signal that your body needs a scientifically sound system to heal.

Weight Loss is your evidence-based guide to sustainable health and vitality. Written by Dr. Indranill Basu-Ray, a world-famous cardiologist and pioneering medical researcher, this book bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and rigorous clinical science.

With 20 years of clinical experience treating thousands of patients, Dr. Basu–Ray offers a clear, drug-free roadmap for adults and seniors to reverse obesity, diabetes, and hypertension at the root source.

Inside Weight Loss, you will discover:

  • The Cardiologist’s Protocol: A proven, drug-free methodology to help you shed pounds and prevent weight regain permanently.
  • Food as Medicine: How a plant-based yogic diet and structured intermittent fasting optimize your metabolism for peak daily energy without triggering fat storage.
  • The Power of Restorative Movement: Yoga asanas and deep breathing practices that reduce chronic inflammation and protect cardiovascular health.
  • The Stress and Sleep Connection: Simple meditation techniques to help lower cortisol levels, curb emotional eating, and get deep, healing sleep.
  • Tracking for Longevity: How to use ultramodern, non-invasive wearable devices to monitor your health from home without painful finger pricks, including cutting-edge tools to track meditation depth and heart rate variability (HRV) for cardiac wellness.

Move with ease, wake up energized, and lower your reliance on daily pills.
