75: Ancient healing powers of Urine Therapy and Ayurveda | Coen van der Kroon

Dr. Coen van der Kroon, author of “The Golden Fountain” and Program Director of the Ayurveda Academy in the Netherlands shares his approach to using urine as a therapy both topically and drinking pee. We start off by focusing on Ayurveda and how there’s been this refocus in India to incorporate this ancient healing practice. You will get understand how an Ayurvedic consultation works, Ayurvedic treatments, and the challenges of it being accepted by Western medicine. We then turn our focus to urine therapy and Coen shares his thoughts on where urine is and isn’t practical, what urine taste says about your health, along with his cautions that drinking your own pee isn’t a life hack. #drinkingurine #urinetherapy #drinkingpee #pee #urine #ayurveda #ayurvedic medicine DISCLAIMER: The information herein is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for the advice of an appropriately qualified licensed physician or other health care provider.   Chapters: 00:00 Intro and Coen’s travels to India 03:39 Is India losing its connection to traditional medicines? 06:15 Evidence based Ayurveda 08:25 Bringing Ayurveda to the Netherlands 13:50 India government’s support for Ayurveda 15:05 Common Ayurvedic treatments 16:45 Initial Ayurvedic consultation 20:25 Traditional Ayurvedic surgery 23:00 Nutrigenomics Ayurgenomics 26:15 Typical Ayurvedic patients 28:25 Renewed interest in India in Ayurveda 32:00 Ayurvedic response to COVID-19 35:00 Rise in zoonotic viruses 38:00 Coen’s reaction to Ayurvedic is not scientific 40:00 Coen’s introduction into urine therapy 50:00 Looping effect and self-healing 52:10 Urine as a waste product 56:30 Why can’t you eat fecal matter? 57:25 What your urine says about your health and diet 59:00 Change your diet before drinking urine 01:01:10 Is drinking urine a life hack? 01:03:50 Using urine for acute and chronic issues? 01:06:15 Does Coen currently use urine therapy? 01:08:30 Ideal urine (midstream, morning) 01:11:30 Athletic benefits from urine 01:13:35 Is drinking urine hard on your kidneys? 01:14:30 Coen’s takeaways 01:15:00 Five for dinner 01:24:10 What do you know for sure? 01:25:25 Wrap-up
