I grew up with this.
Then I forgot.
Then I came back.
My granny had a remedy for everything: turmeric in warm milk, herbs for digestion, rituals around food and rest that I never questioned because they just worked. It was ordinary life. It was also, I later understood, Ayurveda.
Years later I came back to it properly, through necessity. A personal health journey that wasn't resolving the way it should have changed how I think about food, rest, hormones and what the body actually needs to function. Ayurveda made sense of things nothing else had.
By day I work in finance, someone trained to look for patterns, interrogate evidence, and be deeply sceptical of anything that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Ayurveda held up. The more I studied it, the more I found the logic that Western medicine is only beginning to rediscover: that digestion is the foundation of health, that inflammation is the common thread, that what we eat and how we live are inseparable from how we feel.
I qualified as a CMA Accredited Ayurvedic Lifestyle & Nutrition Consultant because I want to offer others what I eventually found for myself: a framework. A way of understanding your body that actually makes sense of it.
