Video: Ayurvedic Weight Loss & Improved Digestion
By Dr. Helen Thomas, D.C. | June 13, 2008
At this very moment, Dr. Helen and I are in the convertible, top down, covered in neem oil, on a road trip to Zion National Park, Utah. Since it’s dangerous to type and drive, I’ll be brief…
Dr. Helen wanted me to let you know that she forgot to mention something very important about sun exposure: According to the Charaka Samhita you should avoid the sun between the hours of 1pm and 3pm. The sun is full of pitta, and 11-3pm is pitta hour. As with all issues of doshas, you want to seek the opposite. If you haven’t read her recent posts about sunlight and sunscreen lotion, you can check it out here.

Has Changed Her Life…
I also wanted to share with you a video Dr. Helen’s coach, patient and friend, Michelle Yozzo Drake recorded recently. She talks about how Ayurveda has helped her lose weight, beat chronic digestive issues and bring newfound balance to her life. Some inspiration to keep on “the path”….
You can also listen to a full-length interview between Dr. Helen and Michelle. To get a copy of Michelle’s book, From the Kitchen to the Corner Office: Mom’s Wisdom on Leadership, head over to Amazon or visit her website. From the backcover, “…author Michelle Yozzo Drake finds business acumen in some unexpected places. When we listen carefully, we find that mom’s wisdom can provide all we need to reach any goal or succeed in whatever career we choose. Her words can provide strength, courage and laughter to carry us through the obstacle course of our careers.”
Have a great weekend. We’ll be back Monday!

I enjoyed this video and wish I lived closed to California. Does Dr Helen do telephone consults?

If only you could give a bit more information that would be great.
