Ayurveda is an extensive subject matter and it must have been quite the challenge for Ms. Dimple to compress so much information into a 191 paged book.
I have nothing personal against Ms. Dimple and I am still in the process of learning Ayurveda. But as a practicing doctor though, I did not appreciate her condescending intonation about allopathic doctors in this book. She mentions modern medicine as being complementary, a practice that only suppresses symptoms, and one that does not address root causes of illness. This is a very inaccurate description of modern medicine. Perhaps formal education in the field of medical sciences would have changed her opinion?
Not getting the desired outcome is no reason to put doctors in a bad light. Medicine is an art, and like all other forms of art, it is not a perfect one. Doctors apply best practices as per set clinical practice guidelines and based on their experience, for the betterment of their patients. Doctors always have the best interest of their patients in mind.
This book contains some good advice on nutrition and dietary practices. That said, it also contains some harmful advice too. One such advice is her repeated take on juicing and drinking fruit juices. When fruits are juiced, they lose their fiber and become pure fructose. Fructose is not taken up as fuel by the body and is sent directly to the liver where it is converted into Uric Acid and liver fat, which can eventually lead to metabolic syndrome.
Another such example is her response to a serious adverse reaction that she developed in Rajastan in January 2020. As a practicing doctor with more that 20 years of experience, my advise to anyone who develops any kind of allergic or adverse reaction is to seek medical advice immediately. A mild reaction can deteriorate rapidly and become a life threatening one if not addressed promptly.
As a preventive medicine and lifestyle medicine practitioner, I use holistic and ayurvedic approaches in my clinic. I advocate fasting (intermittent, prolonged, etc) and eating whole, natural food to my patients. In that context, everyone should do their due diligence on macronutrients and micronutrients before embarking on the journey of dietary changes. For example, it is noteworthy to underscore the fact that vegetable seed oils are mostly rich in Omega 6 fatty acids. Omega 6 fatty acids are pro inflammatory and can lead to atherosclerosis, heart attacks, stroke and dementia. We should, instead, consume more Omega 3 fatty acids.
Would I recommend this book? Maybe yes, but mostly no. Maybe yes to the more affluent healthy lifestyle practitioners out there and no to those who have no knowledge on healthy lifestyle practices whatsoever. For those who want to start a healthy lifestyle by improving their diet and eating habits, I would advise that you start with books like Fat Chance by Dr. Robert Lustig and The Complete Guide To Fasting by Dr. Jason Fung. I would also strongly recommend Dr. Pradip Jamnadas lecture videos that can be found on YouTube.
Healing our gut, mind and emotions involves the combination of food, exercise / yoga and meditation. One should seek proper advice from an ayurvedic practitioner, a yoga master and spiritual master to achieve a healthy gut, mind and emotional wellbeing.

A great book with a fantastic breakdown of basic health issues and fixes from your kitchen and ayurvedic ways. I especially loved the food combinations given in the book that could be the root cause of your issues and ways to fix that.
The author goes into details but has claims such as meat and eggs take 72 hours to digest which i would put a question mark on. She has many science backed claims but you still see some sections lacking further studies which i think would come over time.
Definitely going to give this eating methods a try a see if that fixes my long time issues and if so, this would be a sure shot 5/5 star book.

I never intended to read this book. While browsing through a bookstore, I randomly picked it up and opened a page. It happened to be a chart of compatible food combinations, and I instantly knew I had to buy it. I wanted to explore the reasoning behind that chart in detail, which was explained in the earlier pages.
This is, without a doubt, one of the best books I’ve ever read. It has profoundly impacted my life, and I know I’ll continue to revisit it. I’ve made extensive notes from the book in my notes app, which I frequently reference before making decisions—whether about food, consumer purchases, or even matters related to personal relationships and space. The insights are so valuable that I’ve even printed sections and stuck them on my kitchen wall for daily guidance.
The book offers practical advice on nearly every aspect of life—be it Ayurveda, modern science, gut health, or even life perspectives. It’s simple, impactful, and straight to the point. If you’re looking for a self-help book, this might be the last one you’ll ever need.
Dimple Jangda has addressed some of the most pressing questions about physical and mental health, combining ancient wisdom with a modern outlook. Whether you’re dealing with physical or mental stress—or simply want to prevent it—this book is an essential guide.
After nine months of reading, note-taking, and applying its lessons to my life, I can truly say that finishing this book feels like a rebirth. It’s a life-changing read, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking balance and clarity in their lives.

Heal Your Gut, Mind & Emotions by Dimple Jangda is a beautiful reminder of how deeply connected our inner world is, from what we eat to how we think and feel. I picked it up out of curiosity, but it ended up becoming a quiet companion that made me pause, reflect, and realign.
What I love most is how Dimple blends ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern food chemistry in such an approachable way. There’s no jargon, no rigidity just simple, thoughtful insights on how food can truly become medicine when we understand our body better.
The “5 Steps to Reset Your Health” aren’t just about diet; they’re about balance, self-awareness, and emotional healing. Every chapter made me think about how much of our energy depends on harmony between the gut, mind, and heart.
As someone who’s always exploring how culture, science, and human experience intersect, this book really resonated with me. It’s warm, insightful, and deeply grounding, a wonderful guide for anyone looking to reconnect with themselves through conscious living.

It is a very good book. But she has some really weird beliefs which sound creepy while reading the book. For example, she absolutely vouches for cruelty free milk (and other foods). She extends it to even plants.
Whether that's true or not is another debate, but she could have provided proofs.
Nevertheless, take the good things from the book, dear reader. It is a good book.
