Like functional medicine, Ayurveda looks beyond symptoms to address imbalances within the physical, emotional, and energetic bodies, extracting dis-ease from its root.

Detaching from Illness: A Buddhist Practice for Healing
When we face illness—whether a sudden diagnosis or a lifelong condition—it can be difficult to remain positive and trust the process of healing. The mind naturally attaches to labels such as “I have diabetes” or “I am overweight.” Yet from a Buddhist perspective, these identifications can actually strengthen our suffering rather than support our healing.
Food for Folate: Supporting the MTHFR Gene Mutation with Diet & Ayurveda
I recently discovered that I have a compound gene mutation called MTHFR, which has been the culprit behind many of my physical health challenges. After diving deep into research, I realized that nearly 40% of the population carries some form of this mutation. Understanding how to work with it—not against it—is a game-changer for your health, energy, and immune system.
Breaking Patterns: How Awareness Leads to Lasting Transformation
A few weeks ago, I jammed my toenail. It turned black and eventually fell off. But when it did, I discovered something surprising—a completely new, healthy nail was already growing underneath.
For years, ever since breaking this toe in 2003, I had accepted the strange, misshapen nail as “normal.” Suddenly, after all this time, it was gone—replaced by wholeness.
This small experience reminded me how often we accept unhealthy patterns or imperfections in ourselves, not because they serve us, but because we’ve convinced ourselves there’s nothing we can do. We tell ourselves, “This is just how it is.”
But just like that new toenail, transformation is always possible.
Abhyanga: The Ayurvedic Practice of Self-Massage with Oil
In Ayurveda, self-massage with oil is called Abhyanga, a practice that nourishes the body, calms the mind, and cultivates self-love. In Sanskrit, the word Sneha means both “oil” and “love.” When you anoint yourself with warm oil, you are not only moisturizing your skin — you are offering love and care to your entire being.
This simple yet profound daily ritual helps restore balance to the doshas, especially Vata and Pitta, making it ideal during seasons of stress, dryness, or heightened heat.

Healing the Nervous System Naturally: An Ayurvedic & Holistic Approach
Our modern world places a heavy burden on the nervous system. We live surrounded by stress, electronic devices, WiFi, EMFs, toxins, and constant change. By the time many of us reach 40, we’ve already endured profound life challenges—such as divorce, grief, or major career shifts. Add in toxic exposures and the struggle to find clean food and water, and it’s no wonder our nervous systems are often overloaded.
Building a Relationship with Your Food: Understanding Sensitivities & Nourishment
Food is not just fuel—it is energy, vibration, and medicine. Yet for many of us, food can also be a source of discomfort. From bloating and fatigue to headaches and digestive upset, food sensitivities and allergies are more common than ever.
The key to wellness is not following the latest diet trend—it’s learning to build a relationship with your food and understanding what truly serves your body.
Mindfulness of the Emotional Body: A Guided Practice for Awareness & Healing
There is an intimate partnership between the weight we carry on the physical body and the weight we hold in our emotional body.
