HELLO, You are a 47 year old woman with -weight gain manly around the abdomen -this started after childbirth and persisted for 10+ years -you are physically active and eat reasonably well -you have hypothyroidism and are taking Thyronorm 12.5 mcg -There is a family tendency (mother also overweight) WHY WEIGHT IS NOT REDUCING DESPITE EFFORT? Because this is not just excess fat. According to Ayurveda, it is a metabolic and hormonal imbalance that developed after pregnancy and slowly worsened with age AYURVEDIC EXPLANATION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE YOUR BODY 1) WEAK METABOLISM -after pregnancy , your digestion fire became weak -food is eaten properly but not converted efficiently into energy -Instead, it turns into fat and toxins This is why exercise alone is to enough 2) FAT TISSUE IS INCREASING ABNORMALLY -fat tissue is increasing more in the abdomen -this fat is hard to mobilise it blocks channels and further slows metabolism This creates a vicious cycle 3) HORMONAL AND THYROID LINK -Thyroid imbalance corresponds to kapha dominance in Ayurveda Kapha causes -slowness -weight gain -fluid retention -lethargy Even with mediicne, the root. kapha imbalance remains 4) POST PREGANANCY VATA DISTURBANCE -pregnancy disturbs vata -If not corrected properly it= pushes fat to the abdomen , reduces strength, causes early fatigue This is why strength loss is also present 5) GENETIC FACTOR -family tendency means –you need more structured treatment –results come slower but are achievable TREATMENT GOALS -improve metabolism -remove toxins -balance kapha and vata -support thyroid and hormones -resotre strength and stamina -reduce abdominal fat permanently INTERNAL MEDICATIONS 1) KANCHANAR GUGGUU= 2 tab twice dail y after meals for 3 months =Reduces Kapha and fat, supports thyroid function, breaks hard abdominal fat, improves lymphatic drainage 2) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tab at bedtime for 3 months =deotxifies fat tissue, improves bowel movement, reduces abdominal heaviness, prevents toxin accumulation 3) CHITRAKADI VATI= 1 tab before lunch and dinner for 8 weeks =strongly improves digestion, removes metabolic block, essential for weight reduction 4) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =reduces fluid retention, improves metabolism, supports liver and hormones LATER PHASE (for strength_ Once digestion improves -ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water/milk at night take only after kapha reduces, otherwise it may increase weight YOGA ASANAS -surya namaskar -bhujangasana -dhanurasana -naukasana -pawanmuktasana PRANAYAM -kapalbhati- moderate -bhastrika- mild -anulom vilom -uddiyana banda (empty stomach) Avoid excessive or forceful practice DIET -warm, cooked food -millets, barley -moong dal -steamed vegetables -buttermilk with cumin AVOID -curd at night -milk at night -bakery items -sugar and sweets -cold drinks -fried foods Quantity and digestion matter more than calories HOME REMEDIES -warm water + lemon morning -jeera water daily -triphala decoction at night -dry ginger + honey small dose LIFESTYLE CHANGES -earlyy dinner -proper sleep -avoid late nights -reduce stress -avoid frequently snacking EXPECTED RESULTS -1 MONTHS= better digestion, energy -2-3 MONTHS= waist reduction -4-6 MONTHS= sustainable weight and strength Your condition is tretable This is not your fault Ayurveda works deeply and slowly Consistency is the key Goal is health + strength, not just weight loss DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.

Take care, Kind regards.
Hello I totally get why you’re stressed. It’s super frustrating to gain weight around your midsection after having kids, especially when you’re active! And thyroid issues just make it harder. But things can get better if you tackle this the right way.
YOUR CONCERN
You said: * You’re 47 * Weigh 75 kg * Have had belly fat since childbirth * Take Thyronorm 12.5 mg * Have a family history of obesity
This means: * Too much Kapha + Meda dhatu ( stored fat ) * Slow metabolism * Slight Vata issues following birth * Hormones aren’t working well
In Ayurveda, this is called Sthoulya with Meda dushti.
HERE’S THE AYURVEDIC PLAN
INTERNAL MEDICINE (3 months duration)
1. Triphala Guggulu Two tablets twice a day with meals It will reduces fat, and speeds up metabolism
2.Varunadi Kashayam Mix 15 ml with 15 ml of warm water Twice a day before you eat Great for getting rid of belly fat
3.Kanchanar Guggulu Two tablets twice a day after food It will help your thyroid and fat burning
DIET TIPS (This is 70% of the solution)
AVOID – Rice at night — Sugar –Baked products –Cheese – Fried foods –Late dinners
INCLUDE –Millets –Veggies –Buttermilk –Moong dal – A bit of ghee –Only warm water
START YOUR DAY RIGHT (THIS IS IMPORTANT) * Every day: Drink warm water with lemon and honey * Walk fast or do Surya Namaskar for 30 mins
GETTING YOUR STRENGTH BACK * After a month of losing fat, add: Ashwagandha 250 mg at night This should Improves muscle and boosts your energy
DAILY HABITS * Eat dinner before 7:30 pm * Don’t nap during the day * No snacking * Get 7 hours of sleep
IMPORTANT POINT
Just workout alone won’t get rid of fat caused by hormones. The trick is medicine + food + habits. Your body isn’t lazy; it’s just struggling to process things.
You don’t have to starve yourself or work very hard in the gym. You just need to fix your metabolism.
With steady support from Ayurveda, your body can naturally torch fat and regain strength.
Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
