Illustrating the "why-how-when" of weight gain and fat from an Ayurvedic understanding, backed up by modern science, Dr. Cardona-Sanclemente explains how Ayurveda addresses obesity based on gut health, metabolism, lymph, fascia, and the vagus nerve for physical and mental health. He shows how what is common to all is imbalance and Ayurveda's core aim is to rebalance us and restore us to good health.

He presents several Ayurvedic body-mind protocols and treatments, detailing suitable food intakes and their effects on the gut, microbiome, and the gut-heart-brain axis as well as how they help rebalance the metabolism. He also provides self-assessments to help you determine your Ayurvedic body type.
