Dr. RUPA LAKSHMINARAYANAN
Dr. Rupa Lakshminarayanan is an Ayurveda doctor and certified dietitian who has spent over 25 years on a journey to understand the deeper philosophy of Indian wellness. Following a decade in the corporate world, she devoted herself to Ayurveda and nutritive medicine. Her work explores the intersection of Indian mythology, cultural practices, Ayurveda, and modern nutrition, moving beyond popular clichés of yoga mats and turmeric lattes.
Spinach is Not Satvik (S.I.N.S) explores the timeless health wisdom hidden in Indian food traditions and rituals, decoding their cultural roots and uncovering their relevance in today’s world through the lens of modern science. Drawing from diverse regional practices across India, SINS bridges the gap between believers and skeptics, blending mythology, Ayurveda, and nutrition into a refreshing perspective on Indian wellness.
