One of the handful of people in the world to be qualified in Nutrition and Ayurveda, Varsha Khatri has combined the knowledge of Ayurveda with the science of Nutrition to bring forth a holistic model of health and prevention.
Ayurveda is medicine that originates in India and offers a holistic approach to prevention of disease as well as healing. One area of heavy emphasis in Ayurveda is the digestive system. An imbalanced digestion can be a root cause for most illnesses. Similarly, science of functional nutrition also recognises the importance of digestion.
Varsha always addresses gut health with every client in addition to food and lifestyle. She addresses food from the perspective that “food is thy medicine.” Some foods work better for others and why is that? It comes back to digestion. How well one sleeps is also influenced by digestion. Diet and lifestyle are both dependent upon one another. Varsha uses the knowledge of Ayurveda with the science of modern nutrition to provide her clients with a customised dietary and lifestyle plan.
When it comes to achieving your health and wellness goals it is not enough to just look at diet or just exercise. You must take into account the whole individual in current state as well as the past. Then, you must address the root cause and find balance by establishing a healthy and balanced diet in line with the doshas (and functional nutrition) and also ensure that the lifestyle is in line with cultivating improved health.
For example, staying up late to binge watch a television show will cause imbalance in the digestive, immune, and hormonal systems. Staying up late disrupts hormone balancing as well as your natural sleep/wake cycles as it relates to circadian rhythms.
If you are new to Ayurveda or are not sure how to apply it, why not begin your journey by taking the free dosha quiz. Ayurveda is based upon the 5 elements of space, air, fire, water, and earth. These five elements come together to make up the 3 doshas or energies. By learning about your dosha type or energy type you are, you can uncover how different your health really is and how the principles of ayurveda can be adapted to your unique needs.
