If you’re searching for a living, breathing example of what it means to have “good energy,” let me introduce you to Radhi Devlukia. After our first five minutes together, I felt myself fully embracing her contagious zest for life. It’s clear that Radhi is excited by the everyday, but she also radiates the calm energy of someone who’s truly comfortable in her own skin, giving you permission to take a deep exhale and be fully yourself in her presence.
When you enter the Los Angeles home that Radhi shares with her husband, Jay Shetty, you feel the gentle California breeze blowing through the open doors and windows. A candle perfumes the air with a spa-like scent, and the multitude of plants throughout the space bring nature in. As she showed our team around her space, it was evident that Radhi felt a true connection with every thoughtfully-designed item in the home. She’s beautifully integrated her family, spirituality, and heritage throughout every element of the life she’s created, and our entire team walked away feeling inspired to bring such an intentional approach to our own daily lives.
Scroll on for Radhi Devlukia’s morning routine.
Born and raised in the UK, the rich traditions of her Indian culture played a significant role in shaping Radhi’s path toward wellness from an early age, leading her to develop a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection and igniting her curiosity for culinary exploration. If you’re one of the millions of fans of Radhi’s recipes and mindfulness practices, let me assure you: her radiant spirit is as genuine in real life as it is on Instagram.
The girl glows—and she fully practices the healthy, happy lifestyle that she preaches. Read on for my conversation with Radhi Devlukia. We talk about leading an intentional life, and the release of her very first cookbook, Joyfull.
There’s one quote that I would say gave me the push I needed to start sharing what I had learned and was learning with the world online. It’s a quote by a spiritual teacher His Holiness Radhanath Swami where he said “Knowledge is useless unless it is shared.”
I realized how lucky I was to have grown up in a culture where we had delicious, vibrant, and abundant plant-based meals, to have been taught by such incredible teachers, and to have found and studied Ayurveda and holistic wellness. I felt the best way I can show gratitude for that is to share it with others. I saw how much it changed not only my health but my whole life, and I wanted everyone to be able to experience the same joy and change I felt.
It has been constant learning. If you’re an entrepreneur and working for yourself, it’s not always glamorous—you have to be able to do everything. You get to understand your entire business from the foundation because you have to do things from scratch.
When you’re an entrepreneur you are choosing the path of what you want to do, so even when it’s hard and exhausting—it’s YOURS and there is so much passion, dedication, and motivation.
To face my fears. Taking on the things I’ve been avoiding out of fear. And it made me realize that when you familiarize yourself with something, it becomes less scary.
5:00 am. Wake up, brush teeth, scrape tongue, and stand on my marma mat.
5:30-7:00 a.m. Make CCF tea (cumin, coriander, fennel) and take it to the mediation area, where I do breath work and mantra meditation.
7:00 a.m. Work out—either weight training with Louise Hazel at Slay Gym or cardio.
8:30 a.m. Shower (body scrub), and then I do an abhyanga massage using herbal oils and massaging the entire body. This helps your lymphatic system to drain toxins and helps calm the nervous system.
9:00 a.m. Breakfast—usually a protein shake and hummus avo toast with sprouts, and start the work day with my team!
Wake up at 5 a.m., usually 7.5 hours of sleep.
A protein smoothie and usually a toast, like this hummus toast from Joyfull.
Pepperoncinis, tofu, fresh herbs, and all the condiments like sauces, dips, ketchup, and English mustard.
Spiritual Warrior by Bhakti Tirtha Swami and The Journey Home by Radhanath Swami, Bhagavad Gita.
Jahnavi Harrison—Rise and 2000’s Bollywood Hits.
I work from home, so usually sweats or workout shorts and an oversized vintage t-shirt.
Having a spiritual practice expands my capacity to give, and the more you give, the more you get back from the universe.
I never leave the house without: lipstick or peppermint hal.
If there were more hours in the day, I would: study
Healthiest morning habit: CCF or meditation
Worst morning habit: checking my phone
One thing I want to be known for is: helping people connect back to themselves and understand themselves better
The one thing I fear the most: not making the most out of the time you have with people.
When I feel that fear: I plan time and take action. I find ways to make the moments special.
The book I always recommend is: Bhagavad Gita
One trait you need to succeed in life is: Humility
Bath or shower? Shower
