Books

Three books on Ayurveda, food, and healing.

Across clinical practice, the kitchen, and the hardest passages of a life, these are the books where I've put down what I've learned.

Ayurveda: Breaking the Rules Without Breaking the Principles

A Clinical Approach to Lifestyle Medicine

Amita Nathwani & Lindsay D. Mattison

Amita's foundational work — a clinical companion that translates the timeless principles of Ayurveda into real, individual practice. Written for physicians, practitioners, and curious patients who want to think with Ayurveda rather than be ruled by it.

My Mother's Ayurvedic Kitchen

Honoring three generations of women and their adaptations to Gujarati cuisine for food sustainability

Amita Nathwani & Lata Nathwani, with Lindsay D. Mattison

Food as medicine, in the most personal sense — the dishes and wisdom of Amita's mother's kitchen, where flavor and healing turn out to be the same art. A culinary love letter across three generations.

Peaks and Valleys

A woman's journey through life and loss — a collection of short stories

Amita Nathwani

Written after the death of her husband, this is Amita's most personal book — a tender, clear-eyed companion for anyone moving through grief, and the work that reshaped how she practices.

Bring this thinking into your own care.

The books are a beginning. A consultation makes it yours.
