Key Takeaways :

• Ayurveda isn't about massive lifestyle overhauls—small shifts like cutting inflammatory foods or improving digestion can spark major health changes.

• Common triggers for imbalance: late nights, processed foods, excessive caffeine, and ignoring your body's early warning signs like heartburn or fatigue.

• For stressed professionals or students, Dr. Simmi recommends three simple but powerful Ayurvedic practices: sipping digestive teas, short breathing practices (pranayama), and avoiding your unique food triggers based on dosha imbalances.

• Ayurvedic therapies like Shirodhara can calm the nervous system even for those short on time.

• Digestion is central—what you can digest matters more than what you eat.

• Ayurveda teaches that transformation happens in small, consistent steps—like shifting bedtime by 15 minutes per lunar cycle to restore circadian balance.

• Sleep between 10 PM to 2 AM is vital for emotional and physiological reset.

• For those overwhelmed and feeling stuck in unhealthy routines, Ayurveda offers a way to gently realign, not force change.
