Hello, Your symptoms- not gaining weight despite eating well, feeling cold, low energy, sleepiness, poor concentration, hair fall, and occassional constipation- clearly indicate Vata + kapha imbalance with weak metabolism Possible thyroid/ metabolic slowdown + poor nutrient absorption In simple terms -you are eating enough, but your body is not absorbing or converting it into energy and tissues properly First important check before starting treatment please test -TSH, T3, T4 -hemoglobin -vitamin b12 and D Your symptoms strongly suggest possible hypothyroid tendency or deficiency Treatment goals -improve digestion and absorption -build healthy weight -increase energy and focus -balance vata (cold, sleep issues) Internal management 1) Digestion + absorption(most important) -Hinguvachadi gulika= 1 tab twice daily after meals =improves digestion-> better nutrient absorption 2) Weight gain + strength -Ashwagandharishtam= 15ml + equal water twice daily after meals =healthy weight gain, energy, strength 3) Brain + concentration -Bhrami ghritam= 1/2 tsp with warm milk at night =improves focus, memoryy, sleep quality External support Dhanwantaram taila= full body massage 3-4 times/week reduces vata, improves circulation and weight gain Diet -milk + ghee daily -rice dal roti regular meals -nuts almonds, walnuts -banana. dates if suits digestion -warm freshly cooked meals Avoid -cold foods, refrigerated items -skipping meals -junk and processed food Eat every 3-4 hours Lifestyle -sleep before 10:30 pm -avoid overthinkig/ late night screen -stay warm important for vata Yoga and pranayam -Anulom vilom= energy + focus -Bhramari= sleep + mind -light yoga avoid excessive cardio Home remedies -2-3 weeks= better digestion+sleep -4-6 weeks= energy improves -8-12 weeks= weight gain + focus improves This is not a how much you eat problem, but a how well you absorb problem Focus on diigestion + nourishment + routine Once agni improves-> weight, energy, focus all improve together Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you

Your symptoms point toward Vata dominance with low metabolic strength (Dhatukshaya + Vishamagni) Cannot gain weight despite good appetite → poor tissue nourishment Feeling cold + low energy → Vata aggravation Sleepy, poor focus → weak Ojas and mental fatigue Hair loss → tissue depletion Herbal support Ashwagandha – best for weight gain, strength, energy Shatavari – nourishes body tissues Vidarikand – promotes healthy weight gain Brahmi – improves concentration & mental clarity Diet Increase snigdha (nourishing) foods: milk, ghee, dates, soaked almonds Warm, freshly cooked meals (avoid cold/dry food) Add milk + ashwagandha at night Lifestyle Daily oil massage (abhyanga) with sesame oil Proper sleep routine Gentle exercise/yoga
