Metabolism is far more than calorie intake or weight alone. This course explores how digestion, energy, appetite, cravings, temperature regulation, and body composition are shaped by individual metabolic tendencies described in Ayurveda. Participants learn how the three body types—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—influence metabolic rate, weight patterns, and long-term health, and why imbalances lead to symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, inflammation, cravings, or stubborn weight changes. The course offers a practical framework for understanding metabolic individuality and how food choices, daily routine, and lifestyle habits support sustainable balance.

This course presents a holistic model of metabolism that moves beyond one-size-fits-all dietary advice. Using Ayurvedic principles, metabolism is explored as a dynamic interaction between movement, heat, structure, digestion, and rhythm—factors that determine how the body processes food, maintains weight, regulates energy, and responds to stress.
Participants gain clarity on the difference between inherent body type and current metabolic imbalance, and how age, season, lifestyle, sleep patterns, and chronic stress influence metabolic expression over time. The course examines why some individuals experience coldness, dryness, gas, or blood sugar instability, while others struggle with heat, inflammation, heaviness, slow digestion, or weight gain. Emphasis is placed on restoring balance through consistency, appropriate food energetics, and supportive daily routines rather than extreme dietary restriction.
