Bartender Turned Medic. Ashot Galstian’s War Zone Story

In the face of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ashot Galstian traded his Kyiv bartending career for life in the Donbas war zone. Amid shelling, he rushes wounded warriors away from the front, while his friend Nastia, a popular singer-turned-medic tends to the injuries. From a family of Armenian restaurateurs, Ashot says the hospitality business prepared him for the most important guests: soldiers on the brink of death.

With American journalist Joe Lindsley, Galstian discuss the importance of practices like meditation and a healthy diet especially a war zone.
