Beyond Diets- Ayurveda’s Way to Sustainable Weight and Health
Mar 20, 2025
Episode 384
When we think of dieting, restrictive eating, calorie counting and short-term trends often come to mind. Ayurveda takes a different approach. It offers personalized dietary advice that nourishes and heals your body. Rather than a short-term restriction, Ayurveda views food as an integral part of a sustainable, holistic wellbeing strategy which helps to keep your body/mind in balance, preventing dis-ease.
Colette discusses why Ayurveda doesn’t align with modern dieting:
- One-size-fits-all diets ignore individual needs.
- Modern diets focus on physical appearance, not health.
- Dieting often promotes restriction and deprivation which can weaken digestion.
- Lack of consideration for timing of meals with the Circadian rhythm.
- Mindful eating is not addressed and how it affects digestion.
- Modern diets can create emotional and mental stress.
- Diets often don’t consider seasonality and environment.
- Ayurveda focuses on disease prevention, longevity and sustainability
