The 12-Hour Rule: Why You Don't Need to Starve to Heal
Intermittent fasting has become one of the most widely promoted health practices of the last decade. It is often framed as a “metabolic reset” or a way to improve insulin sensitivity, support weight regulation, reduce inflammation, and even enhance longevity.

Why Daily Routine Is Often the Missing Piece in Healing

As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to fall, our bodies naturally shift in response to the changing season. Autumn is a time of transition—a bridge between the heat and expansion of summer and the cold, inward energy of winter.
Introduction to Ayurveda
Ayurveda—translated from Sanskrit as the science of life—is a complete system of health that’s been practiced for over 5,000 years. While modern medicine often focuses on managing disease after it appears, Ayurveda emphasizes prevention, balance, and root-cause healing.
Why is Ayurveda not in mainstream healthcare?
We live in a world obsessed with quick fixes. A world where health is something to be managed, treated, and prescribed. Feeling tired? Take a supplement. Feeling anxious? Here’s a pill. Feeling off balance? Try this new superfood, this new gadget, this new protocol.
Rethinking Protein; is more always better?
Protein has become the holy grail of nutrition. With endless protein powders, bars, and shakes promising strength, energy, and muscle gain, it’s easy to believe that more is always better. But Ayurveda teaches us that true nourishment isn’t just about hitting your macros—it’s about how well your body digests, assimilates, and eliminates what you eat.
Is Fasting Good For You?
Fasting is everywhere right now. Intermittent fasting, juice cleanses, multi-day fasts—people are swearing by it for weight loss, gut health, and even longevity. But is fasting actually good for you? Ayurveda has a different take—one that’s far more nuanced than the one-size-fits-all approach we’re seeing today. Instead of treating fasting as a universal magic bullet, Ayurveda considers your unique constitution (dosha), the rhythms of nature, and your body’s ever-changing needs.
Ayurveda vs Modern Medicine. Do we have to choose?
There’s a divide when it comes to healing. On one side, you have people who swear by pharmaceuticals, seeing anything “alternative” as unscientific, unreliable, and even dangerous. On the other, there’s a deep mistrust of Western medicine—some of it well-earned—leading many to reject it altogether in favor of ancient, holistic systems.
Repetition isn’t boring, it’s necessary.
There’s a quiet pressure in our culture—to keep life interesting. We’re told to chase novelty. To avoid routines. To mix things up. Whether it’s in our morning rituals, our relationships, our yoga practice, or even our meals, we’re conditioned to believe that repetition is dull, and that doing the same thing more than once must mean we’re stuck.
