SUMMARY:DSS with Sri Sridhar Deshmukh — Diet and Nutrition: An Evolutionary Perspective\, Part I
DESCRIPTION:  \nVivekananda Yoga University (VaYU)\, USA is the first yoga university outside India focused on graduate yoga education and research. Based in Los Angeles\, California\, VaYU offers online graduate programs centred on evidence-based yoga and a modern scientific approach to the traditional practice. \nSri Sridhar Deshmukh\nDirector\, Rishidvanam · Bengaluru\, India \nSaturday\, 26 September 2026\n8:30 PM – 9:30 PM PST · Online · Free to attend \nHuman physiology evolved over deep time. The food environment it now meets is roughly a century old\, and a great deal of modern metabolic disease sits in that gap. \nThis session explores how evolutionary history\, food choices and culinary habits directly dictate biological health. Participants will be introduced to practical\, science-backed approaches to optimise nutrition\, support the gut microbiome and prevent metabolic disease. \nThe session covers: \n\nEvolutionary biology and metabolic mismatch — why modern diets conflict with our biology\, and how lifestyle factors influence genetic expression (epigenetics).\nNutritional frameworks and life stages — adapting dietary needs across life stages\, portion management\, and diet in the presence of health challenges.\nGrain systems and satiety — the biological differences between standard cereals and traditional millets\, including their effects on metabolic rate\, inflammation and appetite regulation.\nGut microbiome and immunity — the link between internal gut health\, dietary fibre and systemic immunity.\nCulinary safety and toxins — practical protocols for neutralising plant anti-nutrients\, avoiding thermal damage from cooking methods\, and identifying modern food-processing toxins.\n\nThe emphasis throughout is on shifting the locus of control inward — engaging with the natural intelligence of the human body in service of preventive and promotive health. \nFor yoga therapists and practitioners\, healthcare professionals\, students of integrative health\, and anyone who wants a physiologically grounded way to think about what they eat. \nRegister free on Zoom \nPart I of two. Part II follows on Saturday\, 24 October 2026.

SUMMARY:DSS with Sri Sridhar Deshmukh — Diet and Nutrition: An Evolutionary Perspective\, Part II
DESCRIPTION:Distinguished Speaker Series Webinar  ·  Free  ·  Online \n \n\n \nAbout VaYU\nVivekananda Yoga University (VaYU)\, USA is the first yoga university outside India focused on graduate yoga education and research. \nBased in Los Angeles\, California\, VaYU offers online graduate programs centred on evidence-based yoga and a modern scientific approach to the traditional practice. \nSri Sridhar Deshmukh\nDirector\, Rishidvanam · Bengaluru\, India \n \nDate & Time\nSaturday\, 24 October 2026 \n8:30 PM – 9:30 PM PST  ·  Online  ·  Free to attend \n \nAbstract\nUnderstanding why modern diets argue with human biology is one thing. Acting on it — in a real kitchen\, across a real week\, with the grains and oils and cooking methods actually to hand — is another. \nPart I laid out the mismatch between deep-time physiology and the contemporary plate. Part II stays with the evolutionary frame and turns it towards practice: the link between gut health\, dietary fibre and systemic immunity\, and the practical protocols for neutralising plant anti-nutrients\, avoiding thermal damage from cooking methods\, and identifying modern food-processing toxins. \nThe session covers: \n\nGut microbiome and immunity — the link between internal gut health\, dietary fibre and systemic immunity.\nNeutralising plant anti-nutrients — the soaking\, sprouting and fermentation protocols that make plant foods fully available to the body.\nThermal damage and cooking method — which techniques preserve nutrition and which quietly destroy it.\nIdentifying food-processing toxins — reading the modern food supply for what industrial processing introduces.\nPutting the framework to work — translating the evolutionary perspective into everyday choices across grains\, oils\, portions and life stages.\n\nThe emphasis throughout is on shifting the locus of control inward — engaging with the natural intelligence of the human body in service of preventive and promotive health. \n \nRegister free on Zoom\nThis webinar is free and held online.
