Any recent or sudden weight change is important sign from the body that demands attention. It is important to know the cause of any recent weight changes.

Rapid weight gain may be caused by low metabolism and hypothyroid. Getting your thyroid checked is an important first step in understanding any recent, unprompted weight loss. Rapid weight gain may be water retention, especially if it correlates with bouts of inflammation or your menstrual cycle. Read more about feeling overweight.

Rapid weight loss may be due to malabsorption, or a recent bout of vomitting or diarrhea. It is also potential alarm sign for something more serious like a parasite or cancer. Read more about feeling underweight.

Disclaimer: 'Recent weight change' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE 3

If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance. Most people have a weakness in one or more organs. These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.' They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point. Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease. You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area. At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.

John Immel, the founder of Joyful Belly, teaches people how to have a healthy diet and lifestyle with Ayurveda. His approach to Ayurveda exudes a certain ease, which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda , which specializes in digestive tract pathology & Ayurvedic nutrition. John and his wife Natalie recently published Explore Your Hunger: A Guide to Hunger, Appetite & Food.

John's interest in Ayurveda and digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, including his public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. 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. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well.

My recent weight change (from 118 lbs. to 104 lbs. within six months) was in part due to removing all meat and poultry from my diet and exercising more. My naturopath recommended eating two eggs and a protein powder shake a day to bring my weight back. My weight has slowly increased, but I would like to transition to a vegan diet. My hope is that an Ayurvedic diet without animal products could supply all my nutritional needs. A complication is that I'm 62 years old and have absorption issues.
