Key takeaways
Ancient practices like Ayurveda prove many modern trends wrong because nature figured out health rhythms long ago
Matching diet to the season prevents deficiencies & toxicities, supporting immunity, digestion & overall health
Wheat & other whole foods aren’t “bad”. If digestion struggles, the issue is usually your gut, not the food
Struggling with foods? Digestion is likely the issue & low stomach acid & poor bile flow are common culprits
Syncing daily routine with natural light cycles boosts energy, sleep & metabolic health
Walking after meals lowers blood sugar, aids digestion & reduces heart disease risk
Calm, present mealtime habits support proper breakdown & use of food because rushed eating harms digestion
Eating seasonally & enjoying fresh, local foods supports gut health & microbiome diversity
Adjusting lifestyle by dosha & season keeps the body balanced & thriving
Detoxing starts with fixing digestion & gentle approaches work better than harsh cleanses
