Meet Kris Yousif, A.P.
Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner
Founder
Advanced Ayurveda – Whole Mind + Body Health
Kris Yousif has been an educator for more than ten years. He has also been personally impacted by the systematic failure of Western medicine and has made it his life’s passion to find a better way to understand, treat, and overcome health challenges. The result is Advanced Ayurveda; the perfect balance of his passion for educating and for helping others achieve optimum health.
After suffering a debilitating hip fracture in his 20s, Kris became mired in the chaos that is the American Healthcare system, resulting in misdiagnosis, misinformation, bad medical practices, and more. With the realization that Western medicine was not helping him, but, indeed, hindering him, he was driven to find a better way to improve his health and quality of life.
The answer was an integrative approach to health and wellness. Kris holds a Business Administration degree from California State University, Long Beach, and is a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, graduating from the Southern California University’s Health Sciences program, one of the nation’s most respected non-profit universities specializing, for more than 100 years, in integrative health care.
Kris is an active member of the Academy of Integrative Health + Medicine, the California Association of Ayurvedic Medicine (CAAM), and of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA).
Kris resides in Cypress, California. In his rare free time, you can find him at the beach, working out, traveling, cooking, or spending time with his dog.
