Over the past 25 years, Kate O’Donnell has journeyed across remote regions of India in search of ancient healing traditions to share with the United States. Her own healing path showed her how a holistic system can support lasting health, and that experience shaped her into a leading authority on Ayurveda. She developed a modern method tailored for Americans, with an individualized approach she describes as “guiding from disease to ease.” This work has helped thousands of people and earned her recognition as one of the most respected voices in holistic medicine. Kate is the four-time bestselling author of the Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook series, host of the Everyday Ayurveda podcast, an international speaker, and the founder of the Ayurvedic Living Institute, where she has trained a generation of practitioners.
A graduate of the Kripalu School of Ayurveda, Kate shares practical Ayurvedic guidance to help keep the body balanced, especially during holiday celebrations. She teaches the importance of digestion in Ayurveda, emphasizing that healthy digestion is the foundation of overall wellness. Her teachings also include nourishing recipes, such as Chocolate Layered Ojas Bars for restoring energy, along with Kripalu Faculty Recipes like Healing Turmeric Milk (golden milk), known for its many health benefits.
