Resources
I want to thank you for taking the time to read this book. I know many Ayurvedic books are available, and I’m so honored you chose this one. I hope it has taught you how easy it is to apply Ayurvedic wisdom in your life, and you use this book as a tool to heal your friends, family, and the world. Healing the planet begins with healing yourself, and I am so proud of you for beginning the journey. Thank you for making me a part of it.
Eat Feel Fresh
If you enjoyed reading this book and would like to learn more about Ayurveda, I invite you to check out my website, Eat Feel Fresh (eatfeelfresh.com), where I offer an interactive Dosha quiz. Unlike any other Ayurvedic quiz, I separate the results between the mind and body’s Dosha because I have found that often people totally relate to one physically and another mentally. I also break down each Dosha by percentage, giving you a detailed overview of your unique characteristics.
If you’d like to take it a step further, I offer a 12-week Eat Right for Your Mind-Body Type online guided program in which I teach you how to apply this ancient Ayurvedic wisdom to your life, step by step, in a modern, approachable way. I have updated and simplified this complex healing system, the way I did in this book, so even the busiest person with no experience in the kitchen can reap the benefits of Ayurveda. Side effects may include improved digestion, increased energy, radiant skin, effortless weight loss, eliminated cravings, and a deep feeling of mind-body balance. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
I also share weekly blog posts, recipes, quizzes, and free gifts on my website. You also can log on to find out where I’m teaching workshops in the Los Angeles area or retreats around the world, covering topics from sacred self-care to healing your relationship with food. I’m currently working on a cookbook inspired by the goddesses from around the world as well as a natural skincare line, so stay tuned for that as well by subscribing to my email list
Let’s bring the sacred back to social media. Be sure to connect with me on Instagram and Facebook @eatfeelfresh for daily Ayurvedic inspiration and holistic recipes and to stay updated on my offerings.
