My doctor was telling me about Ayurvedic medicine. They identified something like 23 types of diabetes. Unfortunately many providers are a bit snake oil ish because they are unregulated. I’m interested to see what it’s about.

I don’t think kitchari is what he was referring to. Ayurvedic medicine is a lot bigger than kitchari.

I just didn't stick with it after a couple weeks.
The idea of eating same thing repetitively is to give digestion a break. Not so severe a detox as fasting or juicing, but eating the same simple food over and over is supposed to help clean out.
One thing I did keep up (or try to) is the sleep cycle. Making sure to be asleep 10-4 for that true restorative sleep. I never got into yoga but I do try to be more conscious of my breathing. |
Circadian rhythm science bears out the 10-4 thing. Interesting that since we live in a fake light society, many peoples circadian rhythms are messed up. While I am a night owl ( something like 20 % of ppl are night owls, 20% are larks and the Remaining 60 are just kind of average, it’s good advice to be exposed to sun light first thing in the am as much as possible. Also, to avoid blue light after dark. Clearly we can’t go to bed at 5:30 in winter but blue blocking glasses help a lot if you’re on screens at night. Light and timed eating are the biggest ‘zeitgebbers’ or things that affect circadian rhythms.
I have a graphic somewhere that shows ideal times of day for various things. Will try to find it.
