Holistic Health with Dr Gauri Rokkam

31/03/2026

Most of the people who work with me are in some stage of chronic ill health or pain. While allopathy is very useful for diagnosis and urgent and intensive care, it often misses out on addressing the root cause of a symptom.

My job as a holistic nutritionist is to blend my understanding of medical science and physiology, along with nutrition science and naturopathy to help address these root causes and restore health.

Thank you to Krithika from for the lovely conversation. You can watch the longer video from our conversation on her youtube channel.

How to Develop Healthy Habits?

Just like getting rid of unhealthy habits(as you saw in yesterday’s post), developing new healthy ones isn’t easy. By nature, our mind seeks what’s easy, quick, and pleasurable. Not just in eating habits, life in general. It resists things that take effort, time, or don’t offer instant gratification.

So, go slow and steady — because building a good habit takes time. Think about how you became skilled at what you do today — whether as a homemaker, doctor, engineer, or teacher. Did you enroll in your course one day and receive your degree the next morning? Of course not! You showed up every single day, attended classes, took notes, did assignments & projects, wrote exams, and only after consistent effort over years did you earn that certificate (or mastery, in the case of a homemaker, after years of cooking and managing).

So why expect healthy habits to form overnight — and feel guilty when we slip? Start small instead. Choose just one simple, practical habit to begin with. Once you start experiencing its benefits, you’ll naturally feel encouraged and inspired to add the next one.

This steady, continuous practice is the real secret to success. It’s like sowing seeds. Both need patience and persistence.

*Go slow—one step at a time. Don’t give up. Just stay with it*.

How does one get rid of bad or unhealthy habits?

Unhealthy habits are easy to form because they bring instant pleasure. The nature of the mind is to seek instant enjoyment through the senses. For example, we know that eating junk food harms our health — but not immediately. The pleasure comes now, while the harm comes later — after months or years. So the mind quickly chooses what feels good in the moment.

However, breaking unhealthy habits is much harder because they alter the brain’s chemistry, creating dependency and addiction(sugar/fat). It becomes a vicious cycle — unless you stop the unhealthy habit, your brain chemistry won’t reset, and unless the brain chemistry changes, the addiction won’t stop.

There’s a beautiful Telugu saying: “Pendli kakunda pichi podu, pichi pokunda pendli kadu” — meaning, you can’t get married without solving your madness, and you can’t get rid of your madness without getting married! It humorously reflects the interdependent cycle we often find ourselves trapped in.

Solution:
Be aware and mindful when making choices — every small decision shapes your future habits.
Cultivate healthy habits instead of fighting unhealthy ones.

For example, if you want to stop drinking coffee in the evening, don’t struggle with the urge. Simply start having a bowl of fresh fruits at that time. As your body begins to enjoy the lightness and clarity that fruits bring, the coffee habit will naturally and gradually fade away.
