A message from our Chairman of the Board
February 11th, 2024 - Our new partnership with Gomantak Ayurveda
I am so enthusiastic (caitanya) to announce our new relationship with Gomantak Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya and Research Center - one of the best private Ayurvedic universities and teaching hospitals with outstanding staff, teachers, and clinicians.
In my opinion this makes us the best option for students seeking education in Ayurveda for 2-year programs. We also can now offer doctor level training for those who want to go beyond the 2-years because of our relationship with Gomantak.
Please call us with any thoughts or questions you may have.

A message from our Chief Clinician
October 1st, 2024 - The current state in the States
This year the CDC reported these numbers:
-
39.6% of adults in the USA are obese
-
31.6% of adults in the USA are overweight
-
7.7% of adults in the USA are severely obese
-
14.7% of adults in the USA have diabetes
-
38.0% of adults in the USA have prediabetes
That means 78.9% of adults in the USA are overweight and 52.7% of adults in the USA have high blood sugar.
The new normal is not healthy. Not even close. The personal consequences of this are understated because of its normalcy. The NIH reports that being obese increases all-around risk of mortality by at least 21%, and this number gets significantly higher as we age - all the way up to 108%. When we read the word mortality we naturally think of death. We don’t necessarily think of the illness, fatigue, emotional imbalances, stress and general suffering along the way.
Imbalanced weight and blood sugar needs to be taken seriously. There has never been a greater need for grounded, effective and time-proven holistic health practices. Ayurveda can bring us back to ourselves.
Sincerely,
Victor Briere
Ayurvedic Doctor
