"Regarding my feedback thus far, this course has overall exceeded my expectations. The level of detail covered on the topics and the range of backgrounds and experience across the instructors is very balanced and definitely contributes to the effectiveness of the material being covered. I enjoy all of the lectures so much, as well as the assigned reading material. "
"As far as the course, it has been an eye opening experience for me , as a pediatric gastroenterologist and also being of Indian origin. There is so much that I have been doing as an allopathic physician for the past 22 years and wished that I had stepped in to Ayurveda sooner. Not too late however
Sometimes I think it is harder for someone like me with an M.D degree to understand some of the concepts because what I have in my head ( western concept) gets in the way . I am working on it.....
On the other hand, once I grasp the Ayurvedic concept , understanding why, how and what should be done is very easy and I am enjoying that very much .
Thank you !!"
"I've been meaning to e-mail since we graduated to say thank you SO much for all your support on the course, organizing everything, giving us amazing insightful lectures and everything that you've done behind the scenes since I can imagine it must be a mammoth task!"
"Hi John! The lecture was fabulous! So interesting and informative!!! I really LOVED it! It was very useful info. I am running a weight loss workshop and was able to share so much with them from your teachings. I would love another call on detoxing the body.
Peace and light,

"John, it's Kate and I just wanted to reach out today to say thank you and let you know how grateful I am for the invaluable knowledge I'm learning in this course. Today I was doing my homework on six tastes and I felt so inspired and passionate about everything I am learning and finally connecting all the dots with everything I have learned over the past 13 weeks. You're truly an amazing teacher and I simply wanted to tell you how grateful I am to have found Joyful Belly. You simply know you're on the right path when you are inspired daily to learn more and feel passionate and inspired daily! I am enjoying every moment of this journey and life is changing in ways I've never imagined. I feel on some days I'm a Harvard student being pushed beyond my limits but know at the end I will be truly grateful and prepared to share this knowledge and wisdom with others. Thank You!"
"I have a better understanding of my place in the world. Cultural paradigms are illuminated in a new light through Ayurveda. Ayurveda provides the nature that I have always been drawn to. It has always been a truth for me and learning through the framework of this course has laid a new foundation for being."
"Hi John,
Yes, I am a practitioner in Ketchum, ID. I graduated from California College of Ayurveda a year ago, then went to India to study and opened my practice last December. I was very excited to find Joyful Belly. I think it will come in very handy for helping my patients find new recipes. I will work on my practitioner page! Thanks for the note.
Be well~

"HI! I miss you! I want you to know from the bottom of my heart how grateful and appreciative of all the knowledge, time, energy, and compassion you gave to me during the MID program. I'm honored to have been in this class. I have learned so much! My mind, body and spirit is still processing and slowly assimilating. I have decided to find my way by incorporating more in-depth digestion lessons of Ayurveda into the existing 5 sense programs/classes I offer, therapies etc. I will add this knowledge to my cooking classes, creating more balancing recipes and lectures on weight loss etc..
I'm compounding my herbal and essential oil blends for my patient's with new insight, along with tweaking some of my existing formularies. As a clinical aromatherapist I'll able to add so much more for my patient when formulating and to my aromatherapy teachings for my students this knowledge will give my students another lens to view all of the precious oils and carriers I discuss in lecture. I'm able to supercharge my nature walk/talks and outdoor lectures, and outdoor yoga classes with even more renewed- exuberance!
I'm using the Ayurvedic knowledge on dosha to create an even more personalized sound therapy session along with an even greater for detail for massotherapy, marma-tcm-accupressure point therapy, hypnosis, ect..
I will be FOREVER grateful!"
"I appreciate the wealth of information you provide."
"So i just watched John's business class and am feeling really so much clearer on my business plan."
"I have become more aware through Ayurveda and now I eat with my digestion in mind, rather than calories."
"I feel so much more confident working with my healthy eating/living clients, and my cleanse programs have grown to incorporate more personalized plans and a focus on digestive health as the root of balanced health. Im excited to have more knowledge and tools to serve my clients!"
"I really love the sample case-studies thath help us practice giving recommendations and getting direct feedback about them. "
"Thank you, John, for another fabulous class!!! I'm learning so much right now and love how these changes are impacting my body, my experience. I very much appreciate all that you are sharing with us and look forward to learning more. The food was awesome and I feel great today!"
"I loved the class..great information..thank you very much!"
"I ate salads every day until I took this class. Thats when I totally stopped until now in summer and swtiched to soups which were literally HEAVEN for my mind and body. I really never connected the seasons with my eating. I thought seasonal eating was just a marketing catch phrase used by high end restuarants to charge more. Lol"
"Thank you so much for last night's class. The food was absolutely delicious and the wonderful chutney you made topped it off. Thank you for making and sharing that! Your teachings are so insightful and passionate, it is obvious that you walk your talk. I'd probably attend the same class again, it was a really, really good introduction overall."
