Meet your Coach

Addressing the International Ayurveda Congress in London, April 2017.

MY STORY

Dr Lovell-Smith

Western medicine is wonderful in an emergency or if you need an operation, but it is not so effective in treating the chronic relapsing conditions, even after years of effort and research. So I looked around for safe simple alternatives that empower my patients to look after their own health.

This led me to Maharishi Ayurveda, a new take on the ancient system of health from India. Under the guidance of the great sage and scholar Maharishi Mahesh Yogi I became inspired by the benefits my patients were gaining, often by quite simple measures. I realised that the body is not like a locomotive, it's not just a matter of stoking up and away she goes. There are benefits (and a lot more fun) in eating just when you are ready to digest the food.

Take the next step

These benefits range from everyday improvements like waking up feeling fresh, relief from nausea, bloating and indigestion to improvements in really quite serious disorders such as type 2 diabetes and some inflammatory conditions. Among other conditions, my patients have reported relief from inflammatory bowel disease, gastritis, Graves Disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

In 2006 I was lucky enough to receive a prestigious Senior Health Research Scholarship from Auckland University, New Zealand, to further my interest, and I completed a PhD in 2010. I then published a number of papers in collaboration with my friend and colleague the late Mario Ciampolini. From these I developed the DigestionReady™ programme. Now I am ready to bring this programme to you!

In the DigestionReady programme I offer you the essence of my 40 years' clinical experience and academic study. This programme combines ancient knowledge with modern scientific understanding. I hope you will enjoy it. It has helped many people and I hope it will help you too.
