💔
March 5th 2017, a soul was born that was to transform the lives of me, Shyam @himalayan.yogi and Omkar. A month later, Ashita @ashitamathew posted some pictures and it was love at first sight. He travelled all the way from Kerala and landed in our home.
We named him Moksha. Perhaps he chose the name based on his destiny. For the first two years of his life, he was a bundle of madness. From constant mischief to throwing himself on us to shouting back loudly when he was scolded, he made it clear that he was a force to reckon with.
Exactly two years ago to this very day, he went out one morning and came back in few minutes with a swollen shoulder and crying. It looked like something had bitten him. At first he was diagnosed as possible tick fever. But within half a day of being bitten he started falling down. He was losing neurological control. Then one day he started losing all control. It could have been a stroke or degenerative myelopathy or anything really, but he was a quadriplegic. He was bedridden.
But something told us it was not yet his time. Shyam patiently dressed his wounds every single day and gaping holes became much better and eventually healed. Eventually we shifted to harness from trees, a bench below and he was happy to stand even two hours at a time looking around at the farm. He was absolutely happy. He loved his Ayurvedic oil massage and warm bath.
We travelled for a few days and were on our way back this morning when Nagaraj at home called us to say Moksha vomited and was unresponsive. He passed away within an hour, a few minutes before we arrived. It was quite likely a blood clot to his brain. He was fine last night standing from the tree. He just decided to leave. Of course we are happy that he is free now. But this time, somehow, our heart is truly broken. Coming to terms with Moksha’s lack of presence at home is heart wrenching. All our lives revolved around him.
I know that so many of you have been part of Moksha’s short but miraculous journey. Keep him with love in your hearts and pray for his soul to finally be at peace after the arduous journey he has been through.
With a broken heart 💔

Book Acquisition by HarperCollins India
Here’s that exciting news I spoke about to coincide with the one year anniversary of The Sleep Whisperer Podcast! Writing a book and becoming part of that magical group of authors is a dream!
Three years ago I wrote a book which I titled Sleep Whisperer, looking at sleep from a very in depth perspective, and tying together the cutting-edge science of functional medicine and eastern ancient wisdom. The story of how I wrote that book is indeed magical and a mixture of spiritual guidance and astrology(by my spiritual guide and mentor Shyam @himalayan.yogi ). It’s also been a lot of sacrifice and hard work during times that were stressful, challenging and testing in all ways.
The journey of the book from concept to acquisition is also a magical path which I will share much later. For now, I’m just humbled, grateful and quite simply excited to announce that the book has been acquired by Sonal Nerurkar @sonal_nerurkar of @harpercollinsin HarperCollins India! Sonal’s faith in the book has been unwavering and I’ll forever be grateful for it. I can’t wait for the final book release next year!
None of this would be possible without the trust, hard work, dedication and patience of my most beautifully warm literary agent Jayapriya Vasudevan @jayapriyavasudevan of Jacaranda Literary Agency. I cannot put into words what her belief in the book and being my warrior for it means to me.
I’m also deeply grateful for the dear colleagues and mentors who have made contributions to the book. That is a surprise for later! You can follow everything about the sleep podcast and book at @mysleepwhisperer

#testimonial Deepa's detailed approach and calm demeanour makes you feel you are in the hands of a healer. She is extremely knowledgeable and I can lean on her expertise. She answered all my queries. Highly recommend Phytothrive. Deepa has extensive knowledge in functional nutrition and wholistic wellness - her approach is deep rooted and methodical. It was truly life changing for me! I have learned so much from Deepa. I am able to better understand the why's and how's of eating for a healthy mind and body. I had chronic inflammation, insomnia and pain when I started consulting with Deepa. These eight months have been therapeutic in so many ways. I do feel empowered by the knowledge and tools that Deepa has painstakingly explained through her detailed notes and chats. I am really grateful for her guidance.

Truth is tricky. It’s so easy to try a new diet or protocol and slip into denial over symptoms that arise. A classic version of this is missing a period after intermittent fasting but trying to ignore it. For a woman your cycle is as vital in information as a lab test!
💛☸️💮💜💛⚛️💮💜💛⚛️💮💜💛⚛️
Have you tried a new diet or protocol and ever convinced yourself that it’s working for you just because you’ve lost a lot of weight? Weight loss has become the highest parameter of efficacy even when there is chaos happening within which can include and not limited to:
💛Frequent headaches
☸️Dysfunctional cycle
💮Low iron or B12 within few months
💜Frequent fevers and coughs
💛Bad skin
☸️Poor quality of sleep even if you are sleeping nine hours
💮Mood fluctuation that includes anger, sadness and overwhelm
💛☸️💮💜💛☸️💮💜💛☸️💮💜💛☸️
Weight loss should not be enough if all this is happening as well. Health should come before anything else.

Fasting is great! But I’m seeing a lot of people who are unable to get benefits from this ancient practice. My guess is that this has a lot to do with sequence, present diet, level of stress and what’s happening within their body.
💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍
Some of the indications that the specific fasting approach you are following is not working for you are:
💙Feeling more stressed and having poor resilience to stressors around you. This can include feeling weepy, angry or overwhelmed.
💙Struggling with fatigue and forcing yourself to get through the fasting period irrespective of tiredness, dizziness or giddy.
💙One of the greatest signs of impact is struggling with sleep. This can include inability to stay asleep and not being able to stay asleep for enough time.
💙Not getting a period when you have always had a perfect cycle is a huge red flag. If your body thinks that it’s a state of emergency it shuts off reproductive function and you can miss ovulation and menstruation. I’ve actually heard women say they are happy about missing a cycle but this is really dangerous!
💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍
Does this mean fasting is not good? Far from it! I call the fasting approach that I use in practice as Strategic Fasting. This refers to using fasting techniques in specific ways at specific times with specific foods in the feeding window. It can be immensely therapeutic provided you bring it in correctly.

It’s so strange that so many women do not place stress as the greatest root cause of all their menstruated challenges. One episode of high stress can wreak havoc on your hormones and impact the flow of your cycle. This is why you’ll have an early period, a later period, no period or a heavy period after you’ve had an argument with someone or a bad day at work.
🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍
🌸The reason for this is that your body takes cholesterol and produces both cortisol which is the stress hormone and progesterone which is your sex hormone.
🌺When your body thinks that it is a state of emergency then it shuts off non essential functions including the production of sex hormones.
🌸Instead it prioritises the production of your stress hormone cortisol.
🌺This means you can go a whole cycle without ovulation or making progesterone.
🌸This makes you stressed, anxious, unable to sleep, overwhelmed, depressed and a whole lot more!
🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍
Women’s health and women’s bodies are beautiful spaces where there is harmony deep within. Your body just tries to help you when something is off. The beauty is that you can bring everything back on track with the right steps in the right sequence. If you want to guide your health back to harmony, reach out!

IRON AND MENTAL HEALTH
❇️💟❇️💟❇️💟❇️💟❇️💟❇️💟❇️💟
In my practice, I’m seeing more and more people who have anxiety and depression. They also have extremely low levels of iron. Iron is critical to several key functions and when it comes to your mood and mental health, it truly is key.
☸️💚☸️💚☸️💚☸️💚☸️💚☸️💚☸️💚

ALL HEALING BEGINS WITH SELF LOVE
💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗
The one thing that I’ve noticed about all those who find change and resolution easier is self love. The protocols are not the key. The key to unlock the efficiency in every protocol is self love.
☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍
Self love can be seen in several ways!
💟Always appreciate everything little positive change that happens. Yes you can fall of track. We all do. But what matters is loving yourself and finding your way back
💗Your body is never angry at you or attacking you. Symptoms arise to be your guide. While you have symptoms, every moment your beautiful body is trying to work it’s hardest to get you on even keel
☸️You loving your body and taking care and effort to make food that serves you well is your Sadhna. If you’ve heard BKS Iyengar talk about “your body is a temple and asanas are your prayer”, apply it to food as well. Your body is a temple and food is your offering to it. Avoid looking at food prep and creation as frustrating work but as empowering practices
💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗
Do you love your body?

FASTING!
💦💟💙🔮💦💟💙🔮💦💟💙🔮💦💟
Recently I’ve been noticing nutritionists having polar views on fasting. Some suggest everyone should follow intermittent fasting. Others say that it really messes with blood sugar. Just like anything else, I want to offer you all perspectives. Nothing is perfect it imperfect. Everything exists within the space of that unique person, where they are at this moment in time and perhaps the sequence of protocols.
💙🔮💦💟💙🔮💦💟💙🔮💦💟💙🔮
Fasting does have several benefits but there are a few things to keep in mind at all times
💟Is your body in a state where you are not highly stressed? Are you in situations which are not promoting excess stress? Jumping into long fasts during stress can be impactful and the best way to know is if you get more angry after starting to fast.
🔮Are you able to manage fasting periods or do you just find yourself thinking about sugars and craving something? Do you also end a fasting period by bingeing on high sugar meals? These are signs that you are not ready to fast. Your body first needs to heal.
💟Do you feel lighter with your digestion? Do you experience more energy? Do you feel calm? Then these are all signs that it’s working well for you. But if you gain energy and lose sleep at night, that’s a sign of adrenal issues brought on by fasting.
🔮Everything wonderful out there needs a specific sequence for every person. This varies. That is why I refer to it as Strategic Fasting. There is a strategy that each person needs and this is governed by body type, state of health, emotional health, sleep quality and mindset.
