This episode explores the need for an integrated approach to health and well-being that overcomes the limitations of Western models and incorporates the perspectives of traditional knowledge systems, such as Āyurveda. The text highlights the limitations of the Western model, which, while recognizing the interdependence of body, mind and social environment, still remains fragmented. Āyurveda, on the other hand, proposes a holistic view of health, which is based on the balance of “doṣa,” the interaction of which determines individual well-being. The episode presents several points for understanding the Ayurvedic perspective: health as a condition of coherence, its dynamic nature, the influence of socio-cultural factors, the importance of interaction with the environment, the role of mindfulness, the centrality of the spiritual dimension, and the interconnection between body and mind. The ultimate goal is to build a bridge between different knowledge traditions, leveraging the strengths of each to promote a more comprehensive and personalized approach to health.

Welcome to this special episode, where we explore an innovative approach to understanding and treating neurodegenerative diseases—specifically Alzheimer’s—by integrating Ayurveda with modern neurology. Dr. Antonio Morandi, a distinguished physician, neurologist, and Āyurveda expert, has developed the ‘Collaborative Medicine and Science’ (Co.M.S.) framework to bridge Ayurveda and modern medicine through a shared language and mutual understanding.
In today’s discussion, we’ll delve into the three core components of the Co.M.S. framework: reformulation and contextualization, Ayurvedic modeling, and Ayurvedic localization. By using Alzheimer’s disease as a model, Dr. Morandi demonstrates how Co.M.S. can enhance our comprehension and treatment of neurodegenerative conditions. The Ayurvedic approach presented in this framework views Alzheimer’s as primarily an imbalance of the Vata dosha, with secondary involvement of Pitta and Kapha, reflecting a systemic disruption that impacts the entire body, not only the brain.
We’ll also touch on the Ayurvedic concept of Prakriti, or individual constitution, and its critical role in determining susceptibility and personalizing treatment. Join us as we explore how the Co.M.S. framework offers promising new avenues for research, prevention, and clinical outcomes in Alzheimer’s and neurodegenerative disease care.
Stay tuned to discover this fascinating synergy of ancient wisdom and modern science, opening up innovative possibilities for the future of medicine.

The Collaborative Medicine and Science (CoMS) framework is a new way of thinking about health and medicine that respects and uses the strengths of different knowledge systems. Its goal is to build a bridge between Ayurveda, one of the world's oldest and most comprehensive traditional medical systems, and contemporary medical practices. CoMS aims to achieve this goal by facilitating a genuine dialogue between different systems of knowledge. This is not done by forcing one system to conform to the other, but by finding common ground and creating new conceptual frameworks that can accommodate both systems.
