Holistic traditions view weight fluctuations as expressions of energetic imbalance. Practices such as Ayurveda recommend grounding foods—warm, oily, and sweet—to build tissue, while Traditional Chinese Medicine suggests strengthening the spleen and stomach qi to improve nutrient absorption. Integrating these perspectives with conventional care may involve mindful eating, stress‑reduction techniques like yoga, and herbal supplements that support digestion, all aimed at creating a internal milieu conducive to healthy weight gain.
