Suhas G. Kshirsagar Book order (chronological)

This eye-opening handbook from a leading Ayurvedic physician combines cutting-edge science on "clock genes" with ancient eastern wisdom, revealing how to harness chronobiology for improved health. It emphasizes that our schedules, rather than personal shortcomings, often hinder our wellbeing. While we are familiar with circadian rhythms—biological processes that lead to jet lag or determine if we are night owls or early birds—most of us underestimate their profound impact on our health. Disruptive habits like skipping meals, exercising at inconvenient times, and working late can throw off our natural cycles. Research in chronobiology shows that our bodies are highly sensitive to these rhythms, affecting us down to the genetic level. Our "clock genes" influence numerous aspects of our health, and minor adjustments can facilitate effortless management of weight, sleep, stress, and inflammation. By integrating Ayurvedic principles with modern science, Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar presents a holistic 30-day plan that equips readers with the necessary tools and schedules to transform their lives. With diagnostic quizzes to identify individual mind-body types, this guide helps tailor a schedule for lifelong wellness.
