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
