How do you approach integrating traditional naturopathic practices with modern medicine in your patient care, and what benefits do you see in this approach?
From a naturopathic standpoint, it’s always prevention over cure, but that is not always true. Often, an individual must take medication or undergo therapy such as chemo that may kill a poisonous cancer but will also do damage to the human body. The body needs proper nutrition to support its healing, as well as its health. The idea is that when an individual undergoes allopathic treatment, they then work with alternative treatments to bring about balance. Good nutrition is the only way the body rebuilds, renews, and revitalizes itself. So, to answer the question, it is when we work together to give the individual the optimum in recovery and health.
Can you describe a case where you successfully addressed a chronic health issue using naturopathic treatments, and what specific modalities or remedies did you employ?
I have worked with individuals who have arthritis. Using dietary changes and moderate exercise, the symptoms can be alleviated. Diet and exercise have a lot to do with the onset of a disease and the ability to either stabilize it or not. The number one modality is always a healthy diet.
What is the most common dietary challenge you encounter when working with yoga enthusiasts, and how do you help them overcome it to support their practice?
Thinking they need to eat a restrictive vegetarian or vegan diet. Any diet must be balanced with the proper nutrients to support our health. Although we may feel a vegan diet is healthier than a meat-based diet, it comes down to supplying the body with the proper nutrients. For example, if we are not getting the essential amino acids that we obtain from meat in a vegan diet, eventually, the body will have a breakdown. One size does not fit all. It’s essential to look at overall lifestyle.
How do you assess an individual’s unique nutritional needs to tailor a plan that complements their yoga practice and health goals?
The assessment should be individualized because we are all unique and different. Many factors need to be considered—age, responsibilities, lifestyle, and, of course, diet, exercise, and sleep. The best compliment is a balanced diet that meets all the daily requirements. I always advocate for whole foods prepared at home. One of the four pillars of yoga is diet. Yoga advocates a diet that supports vitality because your energy and health are supported by what and how you eat.
In your teachings on karma, how do you help individuals strike a balance between their actions and the idea of destiny or predestined karma in their lives?
Karma is not about destiny or predestination. Karma is cause and effect. Each of us is given the free will to choose how we live our lives. If you don’t like the effect of something, look to the cause. The best advice is to try and do no harm while remembering to always do the greatest good for the most significant many. According to Kamra, we are here on earth to correct. This requires conscious awareness and conscious effort. It is a challenging task, which is why it is called work.
Could you share a personal or client example of someone who experienced a significant shift in their life through understanding and working with their karma, and what strategies did you employ to facilitate this transformation?
With my life out of balance and overwhelmed with stress and burnout, I began over 30 years ago to practice holistic health and karma yoga. If followed, it’s a practical guide that will lift your consciousness so that you pay more attention to your actions and how they affect your life rather than looking outward at circumstances and other people. Everything that comes into your life allows you to evolve or regress. It is all a matter of what you do with your energy. Karma does not dictate or judge. It simply reminds us that you are what you think, say, and do.
It is all about changing your point of view and then working to bring balance and harmony to your life. Who wouldn’t want that?
