Why Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is an advanced, holistic approach to health from ancient India that greatly simplifies your health and well-being.
What makes Ayurveda so powerful and unique is puts your signs and symptoms in perspective, into a framework that includes your whole body, mind, & spiritual life. What does this mean? Usually people make a list of problems they want to address and then try to fix them one by one. Ayurveda takes a step back, analyzes the list as a whole, and looks at how your symptoms are interrelated.
Ayurveda takes a categorical approach, grouping your health problems into meaningful patterns. This has the advantage that, instead of having 20 answers to 20 problems, Ayurveda finds 2-3 elegant solutions that address your problems across the board. Clients who use Ayurveda to heal their body feel less overwhelmed, and more in tune with their body and the rhythms of nature.
Another unique feature of Ayurveda is that it studies your body's reaction to foods. Not the biochemical reaction, which is Western medicine's approach, but your experience of food. In other words, Ayurveda studies how food makes you feel after you swallow it. Most Ayurveda practitioners can talk at length about how your experience of watermelon, for example, might differ from cantaloupe. Ayurveda has a rich vocabulary to help you become aware of how your body reacts to food, so you can select foods that make you feel better.
Altogether, Ayurveda's profound approach makes healing your body simple, natural and graceful - once you know how.
Format of the 2 Year Program
The program includes a powerful blend of presentations, educational materials, discussions, interactions with teachers, and guided personal experiments. Each week will include 1 to 3 recorded presentations, introducing you to new ways of thinking and understanding health. Presentations will be accompanied by exercises to facilitate your personal discovery process. The program will include 3 live class discussions per week. The scheduling of these calls will include options convenient for all time zones globally.
Your clinical training includes 95 clinical encounters, including 1) consultations with other students in the program, 2) consultations with clients, 3) teacher led consultations, and 4) Observing other students. You will be asked to present your clinical findings to a clinical supervisor, and in our live clinical sessions.
You will also be invited to participate in an online discussion group, so that communication with the group and teachers is always at your fingertips for the entire duration of the course. Before you start the program, you will have an opportunity to talk with our staff in an orientation so that any questions you have can be answered.

 | "This was a great feat to turn strangers into friends over the internet. This has been an amazing group of people to listen and learn from. The course has made me dig deep.

About John Immel
Drawing on years of research and clinical experience specializing in digestive disorders, John Immel directs the Joyful Belly Institute's educational programs. He is the founder of Joyful Belly, an educational Ayurvedic healthcare website, and oversees the Joyful Belly Clinic.
John studied Ayurveda under Dr. Vasant Lad and is specialized in the advanced treatment of digestive tract pathology. He holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University. He first discovered Ayurveda while working on a public health project in Bangladesh. John's interest in Ayurveda and digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel.
After witnessing Ayurveda's compelling efficiency and practical ease in treatment of his own digestive disorder, John was convinced he could help others. He sought a way introduce Ayurveda to his Appalachian mountain home and the broader American public. This was the genesis of Joyful Belly. Using ingredients familiar from his childhood, John created Joyful Belly to recast Ayurveda in the context of our American food traditions. Joyful Belly proves Ayurveda is accessible and necessary for everyday health & wellness. His simple, practical and familiar approach has helped thousands on their journey to health.
John's love of life, his commitment to the health & dignity of the person, and his humanitarian pursuit of inexpensive health care comes from his Catholic roots and identity. His creativity in the kitchen, and absolute dedication to the epicurean delight of eating come from his Italian heritage. He is fluent in Bengali and French, and enjoys studying Sanskrit & Arabic. In addition to his passion for Ayurveda, John enjoys spending time with his family and studying scripture, two activities which he believes are essential to any health and wellness counselor.
John's Teaching Style
As a teacher, I strive not only to communicate the basic principles of Ayurveda, but to bring Ayurveda to life by sharing my personal healing journey, and the healing journeys I have witnessed as a practitioner. When I am at my best, you will find that my presentations are rich with anecdotes. Despite the seriousness of the topic, you will find I maintain a sense of humor as we discuss the blood and guts of health. This humor often comes at my own expense, which I hope you will enjoy!
Teaching has been a vocation for me since a very young age, and I have taught at various institutions from Harvard University to my home town. As a student of six languages, I am heavily invested in developing my communication and presentation skills, a core skill of any good teacher. Despite my ability to speak as an authority on the topic of Ayurveda & digestion, I approach the student teacher relationship as a colleague and facilitator, equal to my students, without any illusions of personal grandeur. My approach is not didactic, but inspirational and engaging. I enjoy asking questions as much as giving answers, and recognize that leadership often means giving you the space and freedom you need to draw your own conclusions, with guidance. As much as I love narrating a good story to an audience, I also strive learn from my students, and await full of suspense to hear your insights about Ayurveda!
On a more emotional level, I place a great deal of emphasis on empathy in every interaction I have with my students and my clients. The fundamental skill of empathy is the ability to walk in another's shoes. As a empathetic person, I always strive to appreciate and learn from your perspective and vantage point. I want to know you, and what makes you the person that you are.
Yet, the most important quality and teaching skill I possess is neither language nor empathy. Instead, it is my enthusiasm for Ayurveda, and for you. I am eager to give myself fully and passionately to the learning process. This enthusiasm is the true source of my confidence. Why am I so enthusiastic? Where does the boundless energy I offer for teaching come from? The bottomless well of energy I bring to our discussions springs from my great faith in each and every individual's capacity to learn and grow. Teaching is therefore a true celebration for me. This great hope I've invested in teaching is something I will never give up on, which means I will never give up on you!

Commonly Asked Questions
Will I be a practitioner after graduating?
Upon graduating, Joyful Belly will award you a Certificate of Completion at the Ayurvedic Health Counselor level*. Ayurveda is still an unlicensed field in most U.S. states. Even those of who have counselor status are still only educators in the eyes of the law. Only a qualified, licensed medical doctor can diagnose, prescribe or treat disease. Legally, you will be able listen to people's health concerns and educate them on the Ayurvedic perspective and approach to those concerns including diet, lifestyle and herbs. Please seek legal advice if you have questions about your scope of practice after graduating.
What is the scope of practice?
Here is your scope of practice for Ayurvedic Health Coaches after completing the course: They will be competent in health promotion and disease prevention. They utilize the principles of Ayurvedic medicine to create diet and lifestyle recommendations according to their assessment of the patient's Ayurvedic constitution and imbalances. After the completion of academic study they have Ayurvedic clinical experience (supervised clinical practice) including a minimum of 50 patient encounters. They educate, motivate and counsel patients in order to support them to be successful in implementing the principles of Ayurveda into their lives. Ayurvedic Counselors refer patients whose disease stage (samprapti) is beyond the third stage to Ayurvedic Practitioners or Doctors of Ayurveda for diagnosis and treatment of disease.
What do people do after they graduate?
Our graduates use the program to advance in their current careers as well as into a new and a diverse array of professional settings. Here are just some examples:
- Marilyn: Working with clients in one on one consultations
- Susan: Teaches digestive health at a local university
- Sheryl: Offers cleanse retreats integrating digestive health with yoga
- Michaela: Cooks for celebrities as a yacht chef
- Shweta: Advocates for policy change at hospitals
- Kim: Integrates Ayurveda into quality of life care as a nurse
- Erin: Applies Ayurveda to mental health work via the gut/brain connection
What is the basis of the research? What is the source of the course material and how do you verify accuracy of material learned?
The lectures have been developed from primary and secondary sources - pubmed studies, wikipedia, the classic texts of Ayurveda, and the opinions of Ayurvedic experts. Individual teachers frequently innovate based upon their clinical and personal experience, as well as the individual needs of the client. Ayurveda, like Chinese medicine, is not a research based science but an ancient tradition. Although there have been more studies conducted in recent years, many perspectives you will learn in the course have not been researched or approved by the FDA. Instead, your clients will have to assess any Ayurvedic recommendations you give them to determine their suitability and appropriateness for personal use. Client's individual constitutions and needs do not always conform to statistical norms, even in a Western medical context. Ayurveda's highly individual approach offers flexibility that science cannot when it comes to working with and assessing the unique imbalances of the client.
Alternative medicine frequently includes alternative spirituality. Will these be a part of this course?
Contrary to world health organization and India government guidelines, we have seen everything from vedic astrology, to religious devotions, to energy medicine falsely lumped under the umbrella of Ayurveda. Some of these spiritual beliefs are even endorsed by privately held Ayurvedic trade associations in the United States, to further individual agendas. However, Ayurveda's methods do not belong to any religion or spiritual worldview, and are not religious in nature.
Active religious life is scientifically proven to increase happiness, and health. Weekly participation in religious community increases life expectancy by as much as 10 years. This medical fact can seem to justify adding any spiritual belief under the umbrella of Ayurveda. The well intentioned merging of different medical and spiritual theories into Ayurveda can lead to confusion about Ayurveda's methods. It can make Ayurveda appear exclusive, associated with one spirituality or culture only, instead of natural and universal to human design. This confusion can alienate individuals who don't share these cultural roots. It can make Ayurveda feel exotic, unfamiliar and inaccessible.
Instead, Ayurveda is for everyone. At Joyful Belly, we aim to provide an authentic Ayurvedic education focused on the medical application of Ayurveda. We strive to avoid the above confusion about Ayurveda's methods, and to ensure Ayurveda's accessibility and appeal to a broad audience.
Our students come from diverse spiritual and religious backgrounds. To respect both Ayurveda and these students, we do not chant in class or engage in group ritual of any kind.
I have been trained in the Western medical system, will this course be accessible to me?
One of the things that makes our program unique and accessible to all is that we teach Ayurveda from an experiential point of view, instead of a mystical one. Ayurveda does have an energetic understanding of the body, but it's different from energy medicine. What you learn in the program are concepts that you can experience in your body. You learn the foundation of Ayurveda's ancient wisdom and then experience it directly creating cause and effect connections akin to the scientific method as well as intuitive understanding. Our students from Western medical backgrounds find this creates a more robust understanding of health and healing for them.
Will the course include herbs?
Yes, you will learn many of the most effective herbs in supporting health.
Can I study on my own schedule? What are minimum attendance requirements?
Each week, you will complete all presentations on your own schedule. Class will meet 3 times each week, including convenient options for every time zone. Coaching calls will be recorded for students who cannot attend. If you plan to seek certification by a 3rd party, you may have to attend a minimum of 40 coaching calls and 25 consultation reviews live (65 live classes total).
We understand that life events may prevent you, time to time, from completing assignments on time. We have a policy to accommodate you. Extensions are granted on a case by case basis.
See the course catalog for more information.
What if I have a busy job, a rambunctious 2 year old? Can I still take the program if I have to take a leave of absence for several weeks?
This course is designed for the busy professional, is family friendly, and quality of life focused, with the flexibility to complete the course in 3 or even 4 years if needed. Our school and coaching call schedule includes breaks for all major holidays, as well as winter, spring and summer break.
Will there be enough mentoring / support?
Coaching calls will supplement your self-paced learning during phase 1. Additionally, exercises will be graded and include feedback when needed to improve acumen and student competency. During phase 2, live clinical encounters with clients will ensure all students meet our high academic and clinical standards. The Facebook group also provides an opportunity to voice questions and concerns. Teachers are also available by appointment to address any concerns or questions you might have.
Do you offer scholarships or other payment options?
Rather than offering scholarships to a select few, we have opted for a competitively priced program accessible to all. Although we cannot offer scholarships, we do offer payment plans and a limited number of work study positions for qualified individuals. Please contact study@joyfulbelly.com for details.
