Holistic Diet & Nutrition Therapy
Customized Diet Solutions
This is a practical, integrative therapy which combines the best of western nutrition science with Eastern herbal wisdom. Scientifically validated herbal solutions from the healthcare system of Ayurveda are employed in conjunction with modern nutrition principles, adapted to modern lifestyles.
To the uninitiated, Ayurveda (Knowledge of Life) is a system of healthcare with emphasis on prevention through appropriate diet and lifestyle solutions. It originated in the Indian subcontinent about 5,000 years ago, and until today is practiced as a parallel system of healthcare here. Millions of people in the East and West have benefited and stand testimony to the simple yet scientific solutions offered by the Ayurvedic approach. It is a recognized system of healthcare in some parts of the U.S and Europe.
The holistic nutrition approach practiced at the Golden Awareness Clinic has been used to heal hundreds of individuals over the past couple of years. I have successfully treated the following conditions in the past few years:
- Eating disorders (bulimia)
- Chronic constipation/ indigestion
- Acidity
- Low energy/ chronic fatigue
- Insomnia
- Childhood ailments (cough, congestion, low immunity, hyperactivity, ADD, etc.)
- Recurring headaches/ migraines
- Menopausal symptoms
- Urinary tract infections
- Skin disorders (acne, rashes, etc.)
- Weight problem: overweight/ underweight
- High cholesterol
- High blood sugar
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Allergies
- Weak kidney functions
- Liver disorders
The holistic nutrition approach is highly customized and can be summarized as follows :
Step 1. Identifying an individual’s metabolic type.
This involves a thorough assessment through interrogation and pulse diagnosis, which can take 90-120 minutes. I urge my clients to bring in latest blood/ urine test results, along with related medical tests (allergy, live blood analysis, etc.).
According to the holistic doctrine of Ayurveda, each human being is made of three bioenergies at the quantum level, and it is the unique combination of these bioenergies (also called doshas in Ayurveda) which determines our personality, mental & emotional disposition and disease tendencies.
If one or more of the bioenergies are out of balance with our natural constitution over a period of time, ailments manifest.
Here is what the World Health Organization (WHO) has to say on Ayurveda:
“…it was concluded that Ayurveda would be the most effective system of alternative healing. There is hope that a global medicine will be created, with Ayurveda as its base.”
Download an assessment quiz in the side column to determine your metabolic type. General balancing guidelines for each type are also rendered.
Step 2. Fine tuning the client’s diet and lifestyle to align them better with their inherent metabolic type.
A metabolic-type friendly diet will generate fewer toxins (undigested food) in the system, which eventually leads to better absorption of nutrients, more energy and enhanced immunity.
A personalized 4-5 pages written report is rendered via email to the client after the first session. The report includes diet guidelines as well as customized herbal solutions (using common kitchen herbs) to address current ailments, keeping in mind the metabolic type of the client.
Step 3. Ensuring commitment to the program
At least two follow-up sessions are scheduled in advance during the first visit. I endeavor to get my clients started on the fine-tuned diet regimen, and personally motivate them to keep on track via emails and phone.
The clients are encouraged to develop a personal rapport with me. They are free to call and write to update me of their progress or otherwise. If a suggested solution is not working, changes to the diet are made promptly.
Step 4.: Use of chemical-free supplements to boost the immune system naturally.
Whole organic food items rich in live enzymes and phytonutrients are employed as supplements at my clinic, to boost the nutrition status of clients as they embark on their program. (These can be purchased in the Shopping Gallery of this website.)
Key Benefits:
Customized: This is a highly customized and interactive healing approach, where the client is engaged as an active participant in the healing process. The client grows in awareness with each nutrition and lifestyle counseling session.
Holistic: The healing approach addresses wellness on all levels- diet and nutrition to strengthen the physical body, as well as healthy lifestyle measures, breathing techniques, acupressure, marma therapy and positive thinking approach to enhance life force. This translates into mental and emotional wellbeing.
Sustainable: Clients feel in control and experience positive changes as they embark on the program. This encourages them to implement the diet and lifestyle solutions, which would ultimately strengthen their immune system in years to come.
“Dear Dimple, I am following the diet, and I feel already more energy and balance. Tonight, I had tomatoes for dinner and I feel that the big allergy I used to have, it ‘ s gone! I feel that my fire for the digestion is stronger, and I feel less afraid to eat things which were difficult for me to digest. Thank you so much to take care of me, and to help me in my journey towards Balance and Harmony.Love,Virginie.” – Virginie Simone, Jewellery Designer and Entrepreneur.
” Khun Duangthip, I just called to tell you that for the first time in so many years, I have slept without resorting to pills. I am more calm, feel more energy, and my digestion is so much better…only after a few days of following your diet plan. Today, I got my blood test done. My RBC level, which was always below average, is now high, within the normal range. And this is after 2 months of following your diet advice. It’s like a miracle! Thank you, khob khun maak maak kha! – Angelica Snidvong Na Ayuthya, Managing Director At Aurous
