There Is No Universal “Healthy Diet”

Diets such as low-fat, vegan, low-carbohydrate, and even carnivore diets may benefit the right person with the right health needs. The problem begins when one approach is promoted as appropriate for everyone.

People are often told to eat certain foods simply because they contain particular nutrients or are considered healthy. But what if those foods cause gas, bloating, heaviness, weight gain, or simply do not agree with you?

Eliminating grains may make sense for one person, but what about someone who is underweight and needs more nourishing carbohydrates? A high-fat, high-protein diet may help another person, but may be inappropriate for someone already dealing with excess weight, high blood fats, or fatty liver.

Thinking only in terms of “good foods” and “bad foods” is often too simplistic. Your natural Ayurvedic constitution, current imbalance, digestion, weight, food reactions, lifestyle, and existing health concerns can all influence which foods are most appropriate for you.

I frequently meet people who are eating foods every day that they do not particularly enjoy—or foods that cause digestive discomfort—simply because they have read or heard that those foods are healthy.

What You Receive

• Ayurvedic Assessment: Your body type, current imbalance, digestion, and major health concerns are reviewed.
• Best / Moderate / Avoid Foods: A practical personalized food list showing which foods are most appropriate for you.
• Spices & Digestion: Culinary spices and eating guidelines selected for your digestive needs.
• Personalized Menu Ideas: Practical meal ideas based on your recommended foods and preferences.

Recommendations can also be adapted to different cultural foods and cooking styles so the plan fits the way you actually eat.

Many clients tell me that the foods recommended for them are foods they naturally prefer and digest better. Some say they wish they had learned how to eat for their Ayurvedic body type years earlier.
