Why do I care about these phytonutrients?

Because these compounds are nature’s tiny healers—supporting detox, immunity, and balanced inflammation while you nourish your body from the inside out.

Each bite is a collaboration between food and medicine.
Phytonutrients work together to optimize gut, brain, and skin health.
They help you feel steadier, more resilient, and more vibrant daily.

Isoflavones (phytoestrogens)— Support healthy hormone balance and antioxidant defense.

Flavonoids— Wide-ranging anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions; supports vascular and metabolic health.

Carotenoids: Brighten skin, protect eyes, reinforce immunity.

Lycopene: Potent cardio-protective antioxidant.

Lutein: Shields eyes, supports clear vision with age.

Luteolin: helps calm mast cell activity, supporting fewer allergic-like flare-ups while delivering anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Zeaxanthin: Filters blue light; anti-oxidative eye guardian.

Flavonoids: Calm inflammation; support blood vessel health.

Integrative takeaway:
Aim for a colorful plate daily to cover multiple phytonutrient pathways.
Pair phytonutrients with healthy fats to enhance absorption.
Listen to your body: some compounds can be potent—start slow if you’re new to spicy or concentrated sources.

Here are key takeaways from my betrayal list! 1. Expressing true self fuels holistic wellbeing, while internalizing your thoughts, opinions, and ideas is a recipe for chronic disease.
2. Choose clean, nourishing products over quick fixes for photo-perfect beauty.
3. Challenge societal norms and rules made years ago that do not fit in today’s era.
4. Strength lives beyond looks; Use an intangible lens when you look at someone—their true self beyond their outer appearance.
5. Protect your focus; your boundary is your power.
6. Consult with a trusted wellness expert accelerates lasting wellness.
7. Nature recharges body, mind, and spirit—an underrated and inexpensive “pill.”
8. Centuries-old wellness practices like yoga and Ayurveda have worked for many and cannot be undermined by lack of evidence alone.
9. Reactive meds, not root causes—address root causes to sustain true healing.
10. Having an open mind about anything outside the box helps you grow; for example, energy medicine modalities—ask questions, test outcomes, and follow evidence that resonates.

Lycopene is a natural part of tomatoes. Some studies suggest it might affect a marker in the body (IGF) that’s related to how colon cancer behaves. One finding says higher levels of a protein called IGFBP-3 are linked to better chances of surviving and slower disease. Foods like cherry tomatoes and tomato paste have real amounts of lycopene (2/3 cup of Cherry tomatoes: 0.7–12 mg/100 g; tomato paste: ~15 mg per tablespoon), so they can help in simple, tasty ways.

Garba is a traditional folk dance from Gujarat (my place of origin), performed during the festival of Navratri. It involves lively circular movements, rhythmic clapping, and singing, celebrating goddess Shakti and fostering community spirit.

Why am I mentioning this as an Integrative Medicine Physician?
Because cultural ceremonies from around the world have been recognized for centuries as sources of healing, and Garba is a vibrant way to connect culturally, spiritually, and physically.

Here are a few wellness takeaways:

- 💞Garba as Family & Couple Therapy: Families and couples come together, promoting unity and harmony before resentment takes hold.
- 🏃‍♂️ Night-long Group Garba: The ultimate cardio workout, enjoyed for hours.
- 🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness & Meditation: Staying present in the moment with rhythmic clapping and circular movements, which encourages mindfulness and emotional release.
- 🙏 Spiritual Connection: Honoring goddess Amba/Shakti for strength and healing.
- 🎵 Rhythmic Drum Music: Using garba as drum music therapy can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and boost mood. The steady beat helps regulate breathing and heart rate, creating a calming effect on the mind and body.

Please share a cultural ceremony from your place of origin in the comments, or tell us about a recent cultural ceremony you attended.

1 You never get old if you grow.
2 Live a FULL life, as half-life exists only for pharmacological drug 😉
3 Joy is contagious and sacred!
4 Decide your purpose in life from soul-direction and intention not based on ego or validation.
5 Rest is revolutionary 💪
6 Be seen, Be loud- unapologetically
7 If you ever feel alone, please consider 10 trillion microbial cells co-living with you in your gut.
8 Humans are allowed to mess up, hit the rock bottom and allowed to be forgiven, figure out life and start at any age.
9 Don’t love your stocks, sell them at right time and once you sell them don’t look back on loss in profit (I am not talking about stocks only!)
10 Being good is more important than looking good
11 Criticism is free consulting and free coaching- always appreciate!
12 If you ever feel stuck or stressed in life - prioritize and outsource.
13 Quitting is not always a bad thing especially if you are stepping back to prepare for a long lap.
14 You have power to up-regulate and down regulate your own genes by choices you make.
15 Sometimes having no plan is the best plan because you have abundant brain space to think above and beyond mediocrity.
16 Failures and Rejections have so much power, “so much”.
17 Imperfection makes human, a soulful human. (Wrote this quote during my forest bathing walks while enjoying raw beauty of forest as compared to perfectly trimmed garden)
