How to Address Food Cravings Through Ayurveda - 9 am PST/12 pm EST

Ayurveda’s approach to food cravings is quite unique in the world of nutrition.  For one reason, there is no word for calorie in Ayurveda.  Ayurveda has an important perspective to offer on this topic as it focuses on your body’s response to the food, not how the food tests in a petri dish.  Through an Ayurvedic approach, food cravings can be addressed in a way that doesn’t involve ignoring the imbalance but instead understanding the root cause of the imbalance.
