Why Extreme Diets Backfire — An Ayurvedic Perspective on Sustainable Weight Loss & Digestive Health

Have you ever tried a strict diet, cleanse, or food reset — only to end up back where you started?

In this deeply personal episode, I share my own experience with extreme dieting during my modelling years and how it impacted my digestion, hormones, and relationship with food.

Through the lens of Ayurveda, we explore:

✨ How restrictive diets aggravate Vata, Pitta, and Kapha
✨ Why extreme dieting weakens digestive fire (Agni)
✨ The connection between nervous system regulation and food obsession
✨ Why metabolism slows after harsh restriction
✨ The difference between punishment and true reset

You’ll also learn how gentle Ayurvedic cleanses — like ghee or kitchari resets — can support detoxification while nourishing your body instead of depleting it.

If you’re ready to step away from diet culture and into sustainable balance, this episode is for you.
