**What Is Your Relationship With Food?**

As a dietitian and Ayurvedic practitioner, one of the first questions I often ask is not just *what* you eat, but *what is your relationship with food?*

In this video, I explore how our eating patterns, emotions, habits, and doshas influence our food choices and ultimately our health.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch and share your thoughts.

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.

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.
