Meanwhile, sweating under the hot midday sun depletes electrolytes. The result is that your blood will be depleted of sugars, fats, fluids and electrolytes throughout August and September. Since the liver is responsible for stabilizing blood sugar levels, and the kidneys maintain electrolyte balance, this condition is called 'Vata in the liver and kidneys'. Anxiety, insomnia, and spaciness ensue. Your body will be vulnerable to any overexertion. Dehydration leaves your prone to indigestion. As this condition advances, Vata in the Liver and Spleen leads to anemia (rakta dhatu deficiency)

His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University. John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church.
