Managing excess weight and developing a healthier body can be extremely challenging. But, as Dr. Eduardo Cardona-Sanclemente reveals, Ayurvedic medicine, the ancient Indian healing modality, has successfully managed obesity for centuries--and by integrating it with modern medicine, you can develop a personalized, practical, and cost-effective approach to lose weight and keep it off.

Illustrating the "why-how-when" of weight gain and fat from an Ayurvedic understanding, backed up by modern science, Dr. Cardona-Sanclemente explains how Ayurveda addresses obesity based on gut health, metabolism, lymph, fascia, and the vagus nerve for physical and mental health. He shows how what is common to all is imbalance and Ayurveda's core aim is to rebalance us and restore us to good health. He explores individual Ayurvedic body types, how wrong foods and wrong lifestyles affect each type, and how all these components coalesce with our unique metabolic rhythms in the process of weight management. He presents several Ayurvedic body-mind protocols and treatments, detailing suitable food intakes and their effects on the gut, microbiome, and the gut-heart-brain axis as well as how they help rebalance the metabolism. He also provides self-assessments to help you determine your Ayurvedic body type.

Supported throughout by up-to-date clinical research on Ayurvedic medicine, this guide explains Ayurvedic concepts and practices through the lens of recent biomedical discoveries and shows how to apply this integration of ancient medicine and modern science to your own life for lasting management of obesity and gut health.
