Maintaining a healthy gut is essential for overall health and well-being. Poor digestion and dysbiosis can be linked to various health problems. Ayurveda provides a comprehensive approach to managing gut health that goes beyond the standard recommendations of eating healthy, managing stress, exercising, consuming fermented and prebiotic foods, and so on.

Ayurveda does not follow a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Rather, it offers personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations based on an individual’s needs. This series aims to equip you with the necessary skills to identify and address gut issues through both preventive and curative care. You will learn how to manage your diet and digestion to achieve optimal well-being.

You will learn how to optimize digestion through natural foods and herbal protocols, mindful eating, stimulating the enteric nervous system, and cleansing techniques such as intermittent fasting.
