Honored to be part of the Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month event, “Embodied Healing: AAPI Traditions for Regulation, Resilience, and Care” at UI Health yesterday. It was great to go back to UIC where I graduated as a dietitian about 40 years ago and one of dear classmates coming to see me was the cherry on the top.

I enjoyed sharing Ayurvedic principles for holistic wellness, including daily routines, mindful living, nutrition, and practical ways to support balance in today’s fast-paced world.

Grateful for the meaningful conversations, thoughtful questions, and the opportunity to bridge traditional wisdom with modern healthcare.

The Health Impact of Poor Communication in Relationships

Even when two people mean well, communication differences can create stress, misunderstanding, emotional distance, and eventually affect health as well.

In this video I discuss:
• Communication through an Ayurvedic lens
• How different stress responses affect relationships
• Why misunderstandings happen
• Practical steps to improve communication and reduce stress

Had the opportunity to present at Cook County Hospital for the nephrology team last week.

We explored “Relationships, Communication & Health”—something we often overlook in healthcare.
How we communicate—through different patterns (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)—can influence:
• Stress levels
• Emotional responses
• Patient engagement
• Overall health outcomes
When we begin to understand these patterns, there is less friction, more clarity, and better outcomes—for both patients and providers.
Grateful for the opportunity to bring Ayurveda into clinical conversations in a simple, practical way.

150 videos… over 5 years. 🙏🏻

What started as sharing Ayurveda basics
slowly evolved into something deeper—

Integrating nutrition, yoga, lifestyle,
and understanding the role of mind and emotions in health.

One thing became clear…
Healing is not just physical.

If this way of looking at health resonates,
you’re welcome to walk this journey with me 🌿
