Weight Loss for Health Reasons with Existing Conditions - #48195

Hello Thank you for opening up about your health. I hear you—this isn’t just about looks. You need to lose weight for your health, especially with high blood pressure, cholesterol, asthma, and atopic dermatitis in the mix. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

YOUR CONCERN

–Female, 225 lbs –Main goal: Lose weight for health –Current health: High blood pressure (on meds), high cholesterol (on meds), asthma, atopic dermatitis –Lifestyle: No set diet, exercise 2–3 times a week, weight issues for over six months

AYURVEDIC VIEW

Ayurveda sees your situation as a mix of a few common patterns:

1) Meda Vriddhi (excess fat tissue) – Extra weight means your Meda Dhatu is out of balance, and that gets in the way of normal Vata flow

2) Kapha–Vata dominance – Too much Kapha leads to weight gain, high cholesterol, slow metabolism. Vata can show up as asthma, dry skin, or feeling anxious about health.

3) Mandagni (weak digestion) – Unpredictable meals and no routine weaken your Agni (digestive fire), making it tough to burn fat and manage cholesterol.

4) Skin & Asthma connection – Atopic dermatitis means Rakta, Pitta, and Kapha are all involved. Asthma in Ayurveda is Tamak Shwasa—a Vata-Kapha mix. If weight loss is too fast, asthma and skin issues can flare up.

So, no crash diets or intense workouts here—they’ll just make things worse.

TREATMENT GOALS (AYURVEDA)

- Lose weight gradually and safely - Boost metabolism without stirring up asthma or skin problems - Lower Kapha and Meda - Support your heart - Keep your joints, lungs, and skin protected

MANAGEMENT PLAN

1. DIET (THE MAIN PLAYER) Honestly, diet will move the needle the most. Exercise helps, but food comes first.

EAT MORE: - Warm, freshly cooked food - Moong dal, masoor dal - Steamed veggies like bottle gourd, zucchini, carrots - Barley if you tolerate it, a little oats - Cooked apples and pears - Mild spices: cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger

CUT BACK OR SKIP: - Fried foods, bakery stuff - Cheese, cream, butter - Cold drinks and cold food - Processed snacks - Sugar and artificial sweeteners - Loads of wheat or rice at night

MEAL RHYTHM: - Breakfast: keep it light, but filling - Lunch: make this your biggest meal - Dinner: super light, done before 7:30 pm

2. AYURVEDIC SUPPORT

For weight & cholesterol:

- Triphala churna 1 tsp with warm water at night - Medohar guggulu 2-0-2 after food - lipomap 1-0-1 after food

For asthma: - Agasthya Rasyana 1 tsp morning empty stomach follwed by warm water

For skin: - Guduchi 1-0-1 after food - Go easy on spicy and sour foods

3. DAILY ROUTINE (DINACHARYA) This is where real change starts.

Morning: - Wake up by 6:30–7:00 am - Drink warm water (no lemon at first) - Gentle stretching - Exercise: Brisk walking, 20–30 min daily, chair yoga, or easy yoga. Skip intense cardio for now.

Abhyanga (Oil massage): - 2–3 times a week with warm sesame oil - This keeps your skin calm and balances Vata

Sleep: - Aim for 10:30–11:00 pm bedtime - Good sleep helps with weight and BP

4. BREATHING & PRANAYAMA - Anulom Vilom: 10 minutes - Bhramari: 5 rounds - Avoid too much Kapalbhati—it can set off asthma

Slow and steady wins here. Quick fixes just cause setbacks.

IMPORTANT - Don’t stop your BP or cholesterol meds on your own - Crash diets, keto, or long fasting aren’t for you - If asthma or skin flare up, rethink your diet right away

Your body needs gentle, healing weight loss—not harsh diets. Ayurveda’s all about balancing your metabolism and calming inflammation, which is exactly what you need. Stick with it, and you can lose weight safely while helping your BP, cholesterol, asthma, and skin all at once.

WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE CHOLESTEROL ASTHMA AND SKIN ISSUES WE MUST REDUCE WEIGHT SAFELY AND GRADUALLY EXTREME DIETS OR HEAVY EXERCISE WILL NOT SUIT YOUR BODY

WE WILL AIM FOR SLOW AND SUSTAINABLE WEIGHT REDUCTION THAT SUPPORTS YOUR HEART LUNGS AND SKIN EVEN A FIVE TO TEN PERCENT WEIGHT LOSS CAN IMPROVE BP CHOLESTEROL AND BREATHING

WE WILL KEEP THE MEDICINES SIMPLE AND BODY FRIENDLY

TRIPHALA GUGGULU 500 MG ONE TABLET AFTER BREAKFAST AND DINNER MEDHOHARA VATI ONE TABLET AFTER BREAKFAST AND DINNER NEEMGHAN VATI ONE TABLET AFTER LUNCH AND DINNER TRIPHALA CHURNA ONE TEASPOON WITH WARM WATER AT NIGHT GILOY JUICE 15 ML WITH EQUAL WARM WATER IN THE MORNING HARIDRA KHANDA ONE TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER SITHOPHALADI CHURNA HALF TEASPOON WITH HONEY TWICE DAILY JATYADI GRITHA EXTERNAL APPLICATION ON AFFECTED SKIN AREAS ONCE DAILY

CONTINUE YOUR PRESCRIBED BP AND CHOLESTEROL MEDICINES AS ADVISED BY YOUR PHYSICIAN

PROGRESS MAY FEEL SLOW BUT IT WILL BE SAFE AND MAINTAINABLE THIS IS A PROCESS AND YOUR BODY WILL RESPOND WITH CONSISTENCY YOU ARE NOT LATE AND YOU ARE NOT FAILING WE WILL DO THIS IN A WAY YOUR BODY CAN SUSTAIN FOR LONG TERM HEALTH

I understand how exhausting it feels when weight does not move despite efforts and when conditions like high blood pressure cholesterol asthma and skin flares are present at the same time

Your body is not failing you it is responding to long term inflammation hormonal strain medication effects and metabolic slowdown This is very common in women and it does not mean weight loss is impossible It means the approach has to be gentle steady and supportive rather than aggressive

The focus here is health first not rapid weight loss When the body feels safe weight starts releasing naturally especially around the abdomen and chest area

Because you already take prescribed medicines the ayurvedic support should work alongside them not against them The goal is to calm inflammation support digestion reduce fluid retention and slowly improve fat metabolism

You may start with the following medicines

Turmeric capsule five hundred mg twice daily after food

Fenugreek seed powder one teaspoon soaked overnight taken in the morning

Flaxseed powder one teaspoon once daily with warm water

Psyllium husk one teaspoon at night with warm water

Aloe vera juice twenty ml in the morning on empty stomach

These can be continued regularly unless any discomfort is noticed

Weight gain in your case is not only from food It is strongly linked to stress hormones poor sleep inflammatory skin and airway sensitivity and long standing metabolic resistance When these calm down the body responds much better

Do not push yourself into extreme diets or intense exercise That usually worsens asthma skin flares and fatigue Gentle consistency works better

Give your body patience It has been protecting you for years and now it needs support not pressure

Progress may feel slow initially but changes in bloating energy breathing skin comfort and cravings usually appear first Weight follows after that

HELLO,

You experiencing weight gain that has become a health condition, not just a cosmetic issue. According to Ayurveda, this condition is called Sthaulya (obesity).

WHY HAS THIS HAPPENED? Your body’s system that converts food into energy has become slow and inefficient . because of this -food is not fully digested -excess nutrition turns into fat -fat blocks the normal movement of air, blood, and nutrients

This leads to -high blood pressure -hih cholestrol -breathing problems (asthma) -skin inflammation and itching (atopic dermatitis)

Ayurveda explains this as kapha dosha dominance, with weak digestion and toxin accumulation

HOW YOUR CONDITIONS ARE CONNECTED This is very important for patient undertnading -excess fat blocks channels-> raises Bp and cholestrol -Kapha accumulation-> heaviness, breathlessness, asthma -Toxins (ama) + heat imbalance-> skin inflammation, itching -Long term medicines-> further slow digestion and metabolism

So, weight is the root cause, and other problems are its branches

TREATMENT GOALS Ayurveda does not believe in rapid weight loss. Your treatment focuses on -correcting digestion and metabolism -gradual fat reduction -cleaning blocked channels -preventing flare ups of asthma and skin -supporting the body along with modern mediicnes

Goal is healing from inside, not starvation
