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. Modern 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 * Click here to learn more about discounted group Digestive Reset Cleanse starting March 28th, 2025 * Visit Colette's website www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com Online consultations & Gift Vouchers Private at-home Digestive Reset Cleanse tailored to you Educational programs - Daily Habits for Holistic Health Have questions before you book?

Kapha season is considered to be late winter and spring in Ayurveda, however, it’s best to think of the qualities of the season as this is what determines whether it’s kapha season. It’s when there’s cooler temperatures, the ground is saturated with rain or melting snow and the air is heavy with humidity. Having the understanding and awareness of the qualities which are present in our natural environment and our body/mind can help guide us in our food and lifestyle choices which can in turn prevent imbalances and illness. Some signs of excess kapha dosha are: Colds, coughs, flu, allergies with mucus and congestion Agni mandya (slow digestion) Feeling heavy and sluggish after eating Water retention Weight gain Lethargy and oversleeping Inertia or lack of motivation Slowness in all activities Foggy mind Feeling sad or depressed Withdrawing from social activities.
