Explore My Hunger Weight Loss Cleanse |
For example, in Ayurveda weight gain is considered to be a circulatory problem. Safe Ayurvedic weight loss tips will address the circulatory issues that accompany weight gain. This will help you shed excess fat and still feel good. We'll also unravel the mysteries of emotional eating patterns, helping to soothe emotions without using food or feeling deprived. Ayurvedic home remedies are powerful yet gentle, and can help you stay motivated to lose weight without the dramatic, harsh techniques of crash diets.
Drawing from years of research on our book Explore Your Hunger, this workshop will show you how to get off the diet wagon and to stop trying to figure out what the next miracle food is! The key to weight loss is simple and can be accessed through listening to your body and developing good daily routines. You'll learn to support and value your unique body type and understand its cues and needs. Commit to knowing about yourself, not just your weight loss goals. Give yourself the gift of discovering your unique needs, paving the way for the lifelong journey toward health.
"Thank you for transforming my life! My relationship and appreciation for food and my body are so different now! When you said that some of your clients would lose weight and still wouldn't feel confident, that's when I realized that confidence comes from within and not from exterior forces. That simple statement was truly life-changing for me.
Thank you for always being so supportive and understanding. Every conversation with you helped me to see things in a way that I had never seen before and your questions would always push me to think deeply and finally be able to speak and be open about things that I have grappled with for years. The safe forum you provided every night was greatly appreciated."

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 wanted to introduce Ayurveda to his Appalachian mountain home and America. 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 comes from his Italian heritage. He is fluent in Bengali and French, and an avid student of Sanskrit & Arabic. He is a member of NAMA, the National Ayurvedic Medical Association.
Natalie Immel is the chief editor of Joyful Belly where she offers her expertise in emotional eating and eating disorders to the field of Ayurveda. Natalie herself used the principles of Ayurveda to heal from severe anorexia and digestive disturbances which at one time left her hospitalized. She is grateful to share her insights with other women searching for freedom from unhealthy eating patterns and body shame. Natalie graduated Phi Beta Kappa with general and departmental honors from Vassar College. She is a fluent speaker of Swedish and has been practicing yoga for over 10 years.
Natalie recently co-authored the book Explore Your Hunger with her husband John Immel, which is the basis of this course.
