Ep 71: Prediabetes, Cravings & Metabolism: What Ayurveda Gets Right That Diets Miss - A chat with Kruti Thakore

In this episode of Path to Better A1C, I’m joined by Ayurvedic wellness practitioner Kruti Thakore, who shares a powerful and refreshing perspective on blood sugar, metabolism, and overall health through the lens of Ayurveda.

Kruti Thakore, M.Sc, B.Sc, MLT, ALC, AWP, NBC-HWC, is a compassionate Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach with a rich background in both modern science and ancient Ayurvedic wisdom.Kruti opens up about her personal journey—from years of crash dieting and metabolic struggles to discovering Ayurveda after experiencing loss in her family due to type 2 diabetes. That turning point led her to explore a more individualized, holistic approach to health that goes far beyond calories in vs. calories out.

Together, we break down the foundations of Ayurveda in a simple, practical way, including:

The concept of doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and how your unique body type influences metabolism
Why two people can eat the same foods and get completely different results
How imbalances (not just weight) can drive conditions like insulin resistance, PCOS, and type 2 diabetes
The role of daily rhythms, meal timing, and seasons in blood sugar regulation
Why your largest meal should be midday and how late-night eating impacts recovery and metabolism

Kruti also shares actionable strategies you can start using today, including:

How to balance blood sugar by incorporating bitter and astringent foods
Why movement after meals is one of the most underrated tools for glucose control
Simple lifestyle shifts that improve insulin sensitivity without extreme dieting
The importance of eating to 70% fullness to support digestion and metabolic health

This conversation is a powerful reminder that health is not one-size-fits-all—and that sustainable change comes from understanding your body, not fighting it.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing everything right” but not seeing results, this episode will give you a whole new way to look at your health.
