It was so exciting to hear this knowledge…a dream come true for me. I have been seeing doctors for many years at one of the most prestigious medical university centers in the world, and I had the distinct feeling when Dr. Nancy was speaking that what she was saying was the truth. At this point in my life she is the best doctor I have ever heard speak…thank you…thank you…thank you!!!

I loved how much useful knowledge was presented so blissfully and clearly and fully and how readily digestible and absorbable and fun was all the knowledge presented. Also the interviewer was perfect with the questions--and summaries.
Being a student currently about to give a presentation of what I’ve learned, I know it takes quite alot to make a presentation that engages the audience fully and teaches them even a few concepts. I felt your presentation was A+++.

I was very very pleased with all the knowledge and wisdom you so generously shared on the call. Time went by so fast and I am happy there will be other calls.
Everything you said, either refreshed some knowledge I had forgotten about, or was totally new. Either way, it made a good impression and I am determined to follow your advises.

I particularly loved the way Dr. Nancy covered each and every topic in-depth!. Just when I thought she was finished explaining a procedure, she would surprise me with even more information!
I look forward to the next teleconference.

Number one tip I started applying right away was taking a morning walk before work.
What a dramatic change in my energy level and luck!! I feel bright, and so happy I could feel my mouth spontaneously moving up into a smile.
My students even commented to me that I looked pretty. My family is also having luck with reaching their goals as another side-effect! I'm enjoying my life so much more.
Thank you Dr. Nancy for that tremendous tip.

I thought this was a really valuable presentation. It s easy to access as a webcast, which I appreciated a lot since not every presentation that's advertised as such is actually readily available. I'm looking forward to the next presentation.
a) Grains are the nutritional foundation of diet being rich in heavier nutritional factors like carbohydrate and protein. Grains are the staff of life.
b) Eat a variety of grains for fullest nutrition. Use amaranth, quinoa, bulgar wheat, millet, barley and cous cous in addition to wheat & rice.
c) Grains need to be mixed with some oils or they can be too drying.
d) Avoid leavened breads that are in risen loafs as they are clogging to the physiology.
e) Rice is light (good for summer) and wheat is heavier (good for winter).
* Have both rice and wheat chapatis at lunch for most nourishment.
* Use white basmati rice.
* Brown rice is avoided as it is hard to digest.
f) Two basic types of grain preparation
* Grain Preparation Type 1:
Boiled in water, very easy to digest.
Add spices, vegetables, herbs, dried fruits according to season.
* Grain Preparation Type 2:
Chapatis and flat breads. Use fresh dough and do not refrigerate. Raise, puff up, chapatis over flame or burners after cooking by holding over heat with a tong. You can add spices, minced herbs and vegetables to the dough to improve digestion, taste and appearance.
g) Grain flour can be mixed with legume flours (chick pea etc.) for most nourishment.
h) Barley is the best grain to use for weight loss and excess Kapha.
Oils
General
a) Because many pesticides are oil soluble it is important to use organic, oils are to avoid toxin concentration. Cook slowly on low heat.
b) Don't take to high heat as this changes the chemistry of the oil to be more clogging in the body.
c) Oils are used to sauté spices and increase effectiveness of spices.
d) Ayur-Veda recommends unctuous foods. Good oils, properly prepared balance Vata and nurture brain and nervous system tissue.
Ghee
Can make yourself or buy.
Good for nerves and brain.
Doesn't need to be refrigerated.
Doesn't burn as quickly as butter.
Olive oil
Good when cardiovascular health is a concern.
Use extra virgin (first press and cold press).
Sesame oil
