In a world where chronic illness and imbalance are becoming increasingly common, true prevention calls for more than early diagnostics or symptom management. It requires understanding health as a state of dynamic equilibrium between body, mind, and consciousness.
In our recent workshop, Holistic Perspectives in Disease Prevention, we explored how Ayurveda and modern science converge in describing this wholeness - two languages describing the same truth from different vantage points.

Happy World Vegan Day! 🌱

Today we wanted to show you a small sampling of the vegan possibilities - these are just some of the dishes we’ve made and taught how to make over the years. There is literally nothing missing with this way of living - only gains.

You can go whole food plant-based vegan, vegan keto (great for cleansing), raw vegan, or even fruitarian - and thrive! From personal experience, eating solely plants is a totally different - purer, more joyful, and more meaningful - way of existence.

You can switch to plants cold turkey, of course, or start slow - reduce animal products and gradually phase them out altogether. Our own path went like this: we first removed meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy, then cut out fish and seafood, then gluten, and so on.

Some might think, “Oh, they must be so deprived!” Actually, just the opposite. It feels refreshing and liberating. When the body gets lighter, the mind does too. You start to see life very differently - the bigger picture, the inter-connectedness of things, the law of cause and effect - feeling and experiencing at a subtler level.

Let’s do it for health, for the environment, for the animals, and for our own inner growth — whatever your reason, it’s a beautiful one. 🌍💚

Dear parents, maybe it’s time we reconsider the traditional trick-or-treating routine.

Candy and commercial sweets are, in essence, toxic for growing bodies and minds - full of sugar, corn syrup, artificial colorings, and GMOs. Science has long linked these to weight gain, dental problems, inflammation, heart and kidney issues, and even cognitive decline. The effects might not show up right away, but they build up over time.

I remember during a family trip to the Smoky Mountains we were told never to feed bears human food, especially sweets, as it causes diabetes and other illnesses. And I thought: if it harms bears, what do you think it does to us? Most health problems in adulthood start with what we ate and how we lived as kids. So… what kind of foundation and future do we want to build for our children?

Some parents say, “My kids are used to it - they expect candy.” But this is exactly where our role comes in - to guide, not just please habits we may have helped create. Children are impressionable and can quickly get attached to harmful things. It’s on us to help them understand and choose better.

Just because we’ve always done something doesn’t mean we shouldn’t change. Growth is natural - we evolve, our thinking evolves, our habits should too. And now we have so much research showing better ways to care for our bodies and minds.

If your kids are small, it’s easy to replace unhealthy treats with healthier ones. If they’re older, have an honest talk. Explain why sugar and artificial foods are harmful and how they affect their future well-being. It might actually work. Team up with other parents.

Some say, “We don’t eat the candy, we just give it away.” But if we know it’s bad, why pass it on to others - even if less fortunate? What goes around, comes around. Others say, “We just collect it and throw it away.” We did that once - and realized it still fuels candy production and wastes Mother Earth’s resources.

It’s just better to stay away from the whole candy business.

Instead, have fruit parties! Kids love fruit - make it fun, colorful, get them involved. Try healthy vegan or raw vegan treats, free from sugar and gluten, with natural colorings like turmeric, beet powder, or blue spirulina.

There’s also no need to pretend to eat fingers or eyeballs - that’s the opposite of light and kindness. Everything we feed our consciousness shapes our reality.

Let’s create new family traditions - rooted in health, compassion, and awareness - and help our kids make choices that reflect wisdom and love. 🎃🍎

What do you do to make Halloween healthier and more conscious? I’d love to hear your ideas.

Immunity, from the standpoint of Ayurveda, is not just one function - it’s a whole system, a complex network of routines and layers of practice designed to cultivate true health and resistance to disease.

In Ayurveda, this concept is rooted in Ojas - the essence of vitality and vigor. Ojas is the final product of good digestion and well-nourished tissues. It manifests as robust immunity, inner peace, and a radiant glow of health.

It’s that inner radiance that gives you strength — strength to resist not only external challenges but also internal ones like stress and emotional imbalance.

In our upcoming online workshop, we’ll explore the concept of Ojas and how to cultivate it. We’ll discuss nutrition, herbal supplementation, and how to use adaptogenic, purifying, and nurturing herbs to build and sustain your immunity. You’ll also learn how to prepare season-appropriate Ayurvedic drinks that strengthen the body without creating harmful byproducts.

We’ll talk about maintaining balance - how to nurture your immunity while keeping the body clean on the inside and light throughout the winter season.

Beyond nutrition, we’ll cover yogic practices, asanas, and self-care therapies - body routines, herbs, and oils best suited for winter. And of course, we’ll touch on meditation, the kind that helps you release stress and stabilize emotions, which is especially important during the cold, dark months when many people experience what’s known as the winter blues.

We’ll dive deep into all of these aspects — physical, mental, and energetic — to help you build resilience and glow from within.

We look forward to having you join our webinar. Thank you. 🌿

Great memories with Jeffrey Smith. Really miss our Purple Sprout Cafe and Juice Bar sometimes (not all the hard work though!). We met so many amazing people there.

Author of two books on genetically engineered foods: Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating and Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives, which he made into a movie.

Body purification - detox - is a form of inner development and growth that brings real, qualitative change. When you transform yourself, you naturally begin to transform your surroundings - your small world first, and then, little by little, the bigger one.

Ever feel like you’ve changed — and not in a good way?

Sometimes our consciousness (not the mind) shifts - it can rise or fall depending on our thoughts, actions, and what we surround ourselves with.

When we’re on the path of Yoga or inner growth, our energy expands, our awareness lifts. But when we give in to fleeting pleasures — unhealthy foods, overindulgence, judgement, satisfying the ego, even little untruths — that vibration drops, and we start to feel… different.

The more conscious you become, the more often you will notice this in yourself.

Tested. Proven. Speaking from personal experience.
So many times we say or do something we later regret — something that showed a negative emotion, seemed retaliatory, rude, or just not befitting. In those moments, we think, “and we lost to Mara again.” (In Buddhist cosmology, Mara is the personification of forces opposite to enlightenment — in simple words, the god of pleasures and desires.)

And what do we do after falling prey to Mara’s machinations? We get up, dust ourselves off, hopefully learn, and move forward — carrying a deeper understanding of the moment when we could have chosen differently, a more compassionate path.

Have you ever felt like it’s not really you who said or did something? As if something else was pushing you? That’s what happens when our vibration drops for a moment.

The people and energies around us matter, they do shape us more than we realize.

So, what helps you stay in a higher vibration? What keeps you grounded and aligned with a better version of yourself? 💫

The summer of 2019 was when our family began transitioning to a raw food lifestyle. Then came three unforgettable months in India over the winter — filled with fasting, meditation, sunshine, ocean, fruit, and travel — a precious family experience we’ll always look back upon with warmth and gratitude.

🌿 No Fear, Friends — Ayurveda Meets You Where You Are 🌿

Lately, I’ve been meeting people who feel restrained or even intimidated by Ayurveda. I used to be cautious about it too.

Some who already know Ayurveda but have moved beyond animal products think it’s all about white rice, ghee, milk, and other heavy cooked foods. Others, who know little about it but are familiar with our lifestyle, hesitate to explore it, fearing they’ll have to become raw vegans overnight.

Neither of these ideas is true. While we do encourage lighter, cleaner foods - to unburden both body and mind - our approach always starts with you, exactly where you are on your journey. You definitely don’t need to be a breatharian to join our talks or detox programs. 😄

Ayurveda, though often limited by its modern mainstream interpretations, is truly an all-embracing science of life and health. Of course it supports veganism, raw foodism, and fruitarianism - how could it not, when its very purpose is to increase the flow of prana (life energy)?

Sadly, we don’t see many Ayurvedic practitioners who hold this deeper understanding and can guide people toward more conscious, sattvic, and less karmically burdened ways of living. So if you’re one of those seekers — choose your Ayurvedic mentor wisely.

✨ No fear, friends. Ayurveda can meet you exactly where you are and gently guide you upward — in your body, your mind, and beyond.
