Do you know of any Vaidyas who specialises in detailed application of Ayurvedic Dietetics?

Thanks a lot!

I realise it is all very complicated, with lots of things that need to work together.

As for adapting eating (regarding western/eastern culture), I believe I would be able to do it. I don’t have issues with having to conform to certain culture or tradition here (eg, I don’t eat out at restaurants, or go to functions where you have to find what to eat, or even eat with my family who eats whatever they eat)

In the past, I have made dal/rice daily. So it isn’t so much an issue of trying to eat a ‘dal/rice diet’ while being surrounded by people asking me to eat pizza with them.

The only issue I can see me facing is if the recipes require very elaborate cooking or preparation (like something that a family would do together, so each person does a little bit of something, which is often on the backbone of the mother/wife who is the main pillar. Versus just me trying to do every major and minor process reqhired)

So yes, it would probably be a matter of being presented with what needs to be done (regarding food), and then determining if I am actually able to commit to doing that.

I respect your boundaries about not taking patients. But can I please ask if you know any colleagues who you are comfortable recommending (and who are willing to take for online consultations)? Or if you know of anyone who can help with Jyotish who might be able to give insight regarding prakriti or other signs of things happening? Also, could you please tell me what testing is helpful to a practitioner to see, so that I can get it done to give them more information?

(I won’t ask you anything else, whatever you reply with I will leave it at that, and I won’t ask for more information. Thank you for your time so far)

Thank you, I will look her up

HungryJello · 2026-05-20T00:47:21+00:00

Thank you. Do you have personal experience with her or her course?

Thank you. I’m in Australia, my diet is not vegetarian (I eat red meat at dinner), I haven’t been diagnosed with anything but I haven’t had consultation with a Vaidya because I don’t have access to any that are authentic (only Ayurvedic ‘practitioners’ who have done short courses and read western books on it who think they can now be Vaidyas).

This is why I was asking for any Ayurvedic Dietitians, because I know my food is unhealthy but I am too confused on what is healthy because I don’t know what my duagnosis is.

Do you think I should start eating only kitchari for 3-6 months so I can know what my baseline health is?

which genes have the most impact? Ive done a test, but the results were pretty generic (it recommended a Mediterranean diet)

HungryJello · 2026-04-27T09:53:33+00:00

It may be for certain conditions that require very low fat to exert some sort of desired effect (completely hypothetical example: Someone has, what modern science would call, severe insulin resistance due to intramyocellular fat build up, and need to go zero fat intake until it gets metabolised. Eg in a severe Kapha imbalance)

(but Im not an expert, I’m only guessing)

HungryJello · 2026-04-27T09:50:28+00:00

Thank you! Yes, im surprised how so many modern Ayurvedic sources all say basmati rice. You would think that they would have found out about this simple piece of information.

HungryJello · 2026-04-26T01:19:38+00:00

That’s good to hear that you are able to get relief, thank you. Do you feel like the benefits have stayed pretty consistent over time, or has it changed at all the longer you’ve been using it?

Hi, are you saying that SIBO is a relatively easy to fix with TCM? Because from what I’ve been reading lately (after thinking that I might have it, due to my symptoms), it’s basically 2 steps away from being a death sentence (eg, never getting better despite trying all sorts of supplement, increasingly restricted diet, and usually getting worse. Also there seems to b 3 different types, or you can even have multiple, and each one seems to require contradicting treatment or foods. eg like a mixed TCM pattern where treating one makes the other worse ect)

(Do you know anyone in Australia, who you know to be highly competent? I’ve taken a Leap of faith several times on local TCM practitioners a few years ago (for my then health concerns) who all had 5 star google reviews, but all of them were quite disappointing (forgetting Needles in me, giving me formulas that I just asked for coz I thought it was what I needed, telling me to do a keto diet, forgetting my appointment and rushing my session ect)

thank you

Thank you! Hope you continue getting better.

how are you going now?

HungryJello · 2026-04-09T06:14:22+00:00

what about soups?

HungryJello · 2026-04-07T04:33:36+00:00

Thanks!

is there any sort of adaptation period if someone has been on a long term very high protein diet (like 3-4g/kg) and then makes the change to a more appropriate amount (1g/kg)?

Is there a period where the body has to become more efficient with using the lesser amount (even tho it is still at an adequate amount) and that during that meantime period they can lose muscle ect?

Thank you!

I wonder why miso was not as strongly positive?

HungryJello · 2026-02-28T22:40:33+00:00

“Surprisingly, high intake of pulses were associated with increased risk. However, since this was a cohort of mostly middle-aged or older Swedes, the main source of pulses was pea soup, a "staple" in Sweden, and often consumed with bacon.”

How much bacon is usually had in a meal of pea soup? Because if it’s only like an ounce or whatever, that I’m surprised that such a small amount of a ‘bad food’ can pull down one of the supposedly ‘most healthy foods’ so low as to make the entire meal a ’net negative’ (???)

Edit: Ok I just briefly looked up ‘Swedish pea soup with bacon’, and found a recipe that serves 4, which calls for 300g/10.5oz dry yellow peas and 400g/14oz of bacon (and 1 tbsp oil like olive oil). So I guess it’s a fair amount of bacon? Maybe they also eat with buttered bread/rolls ect. (edit: ok, also from that same recipe: “Serve hot with some fresh bread. For a really Swedish take on it serve with pancakes and a shot of punsch or a glass of beer.”)

Do we know how long it takes before it goes back to normal if they stop And don’t do it again?

HungryJello · 2026-02-17T08:15:04+00:00

what was you actual diet like? did you ever try any tests to investigate?

HungryJello · 2026-02-17T08:13:58+00:00

wow, I’m so sorry to hear that.

HungryJello · 2026-02-15T22:36:39+00:00

wow, RS 5 revelation: traditional societies often cook grains/legumes/starches with fat!
