Ayurvedic Wisdom for Modern Wellness
In a noisy world of diet trends, Ayurveda teaches us to listen—deeply—to the needs of our own bodies. Meda, the body’s unique fabric of fat tissue, is not just “weight” to be lost, but an essential reservoir supporting energy, resilience, and clarity. Dr. Vasant Lad’s gentle guidance opens a window into seeing meda as vital, wise, and worthy of reverence.
Decoding the Signals
When meda vaha srotas go out of balance, the signs can range from fatigue and digestive trouble to emotional heaviness and weight fluctuation. Together, we’ll decode these subtle signals and explore how food, routine, and consciousness can restore vitality—from the inside out.
Transform Through Practice
This is not just theory. You’ll be guided through actionable, accessible techniques rooted in tradition: from adjusting meal timing to gentle fasting, mindful movement, and herbal allies. With heart and humor, Dr. Lad makes profound concepts feel welcoming and possible—so you can walk away empowered to nurture your unique path.
