Nutrition Counseling & Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that translates as “Knowledge of Life”. It is a complete medical system that originated in India at least 5000 years ago and has been continuously practiced longer than any other form of medicine. Ayurveda deals with all levels of our being with the use of custom diets, herbs, cleansing techniques, massage therapy, yoga, breathing exercises, meditation, specialized treatments, and counseling methods.
According to Ayurveda, everything, such as aromas, sounds, colors, metals, and gemstones, can be used medicinally. Since what is medicinal for one can be poisonous to another, Ayurveda has developed a way of classifying people according to specific body types. Knowledge of how the different body types respond to food, herbs, and exercise, allows an Ayurvedic doctor to formulate gentle and specific treatments that are free from harmful side effects.
Understanding your Ayurvedic constitution is a good way to develop more awareness, make better choices and cultivate greater energy, peace and contentment.
During this 90min session,
You will learn:
The best food choices for your unique Ayurvedic Constitution.
How to optimize digestion and eliminate unhealthy cravings.
When, what and how much to eat based on true hunger and time of day.
As both a graduate from the Ayurvedic Institute and a certified Nutrition and Wellness Consultant, I am well equipped to help western people understand and benefit from this profound and sophisticated approach to nutrition.
Both Ayurvedic and Western Nutrition understand that poor diet is a strong underlying factor in many diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Ayurveda can help you enjoy foods that both cleanse and fortify the body, while leaving the mind calm, clear, and content.
