Hello Vaishnavi,

You’re 25, and your body is clearly showing signs of metabolic stress intense hunger, cravings, hair fall, weight gain, mood swings, and anxiety. Even though your labs may not confirm PCOD or thyroid now, your symptoms reflect an underlying Kapha–Vata imbalance with Agni (digestive fire) disturbance and Rasadhatu (nutrition level) depletion.

Ayurveda calls this condition “Agnimandya with Santarpanajanya Vyadhi” overnutrition but undernourishment. Your hair fall and frizz mean your body isn’t absorbing what you’re eating, and your cravings are a result of metabolic confusion and weak tissue metabolism. But the good news is you can completely reverse all this if you’re ready to go steady for 3 months.

To address your weight and hair fall concerns, Ayurveda offers personalized solutions that consider your constitution and imbalances. Since you mentioned potential pre-diabetes, managing this through diet and lifestyle is crucial. Start with your diet, which should focus on balancing kapha dosha. Include more vegetables like bitter gourd and spinach, plenty of whole grains like quinoa and brown rice, and eat moderate amounts of fruits like berries and apples. Avoid processed foods, sugary snacks, and excessive consumption of dairy and oily foods.

Incorporate yoga asanas that specifically target stress and metabolism, such as Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations), Trikonasana (Triangle Pose), and Naukasana (Boat Pose), practiced daily. Pranayama techniques like Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath) and Bhastrika (Bellows Breath) can enhance your metabolic rate and aid in weight management. Additionally, mudras such as Surya Mudra, which involves joining the tip of the ring finger with thumb, helps reduce body weight and improve digestion.

For your hair, apply Brahmi or Amla oil regularly to nourish the scalp and reduce hair fall, aiding in hair growth and volume. Consume herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari to balance your mood and anxiety issues. You may also use a hair mask made of fenugreek seeds soaked overnight, ground into a paste, applying this weekly to strengthen hair follicles.

For a workout routine, aim for at least 30 minutes of brisk walking or jogging 3-5 times a week, gradually increasing intensity. Combine it with strength training exercises to build lean muscle mass which in turn helps with weight loss.

Ensure adequate hydration, at least 8-10 cups of water daily to maintain healthy hair and promote detoxification. Finally, consider taking Ayurvedic supplements like Triphala, which can aid digestion and help in regular detoxifying of your system. Monitor your blood sugar regularly considering your family history and consult a healthcare professional for tailored advice.

For addressing weight, cravings, and hair health through Ayurveda, let’s consider your body-mind constitution and current imbalances. Given the symptoms, it seems there might be a Kapha and Vata imbalance. Here’s how to begin addressing these concerns through a Siddha-Ayurvedic approach.

Firstly, to tackle weight loss and cravings, consider incorporating Trikatu churna (a combination of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger) before meals to boost agni (digestive fire) and enhance metabolism. One-half teaspoon with warm water can be taken once or twice a day. For suppressing snack cravings, try having roasted flaxseeds or cumin seeds as a light snack.

Yoga plays a crucial role here. Focus on asanas such as Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), Trikonasana (Triangle Pose), and Utkatasana (Chair Pose), which invigorate metabolic activity and balance mood swings. Additionally, incorporate Kapalbhati and Bhastrika pranayama to cleanse and enliven your energy channels (nadis), stabilizing anxiety and emotional fluctuations. Practice these techniques on an empty stomach.

Regarding hair health, target nourishment of the sapta dhatus. Bhringraj oil for scalp massage twice a week will promote growth and strengthen hair. Consume fresh amla juice or powder to enrich hair nutrients and counteract thinning. Also include Brahmi and Ashwagandha supplements to mitigate anxiety and stess-related hair loss.

Considering your pre-diabetic state and family history of diabetes, an anti-Kapha diet plan is beneficial. Consume lighter meals with more vegetables, lean proteins like legumes, and whole grains like millet or barley. Limit sweets, fried foods, and dairy products. Drink warm ginger tea regularly to enhance digestion. Always keep portions moderate.

Instead of focusing on rapid weight loss, adopt a sustainable strategy. Integrate daily walks or light jogging, progressing gradually towards more intense workouts as fitness improves, Spending 30-40 minutes a day is ideal. Regularity trumps intensity in maintaining long-term results.

As body and mind are interconnected, addressing cravings, calmness of the mind with Shavasana towards day’s end could be beneficial. If symptoms persist or new health changes arise, consult healthcare professionals immediately, ensuring you prioritize medical safety above all.
