Welcome to the Khalo Kitchen!

At the heart of Khalo's origin story lies a deeply personal journey intertwined with the nurturing traditions passed down by our ancestors.

As a first-generation Indian American immigrant I got caught up in the overly processed Standard American diet during college. When I launched into my nearly decade long career launching and marketing new beauty and cosmetic products for luxury beauty brands, I began to develop gut health issues like IBS and leaky gut that left me debilitated. There is only so much that makeup can cover up.

It was during those challenging times that I found solace and healing in the comforting memories of my mother's kitchen, where the aroma of spices and the warmth of her cooking provided a sense of home and well-being.

Through hundreds of hours of FaceTime calls with her, I embarked on a journey of rediscovery, learning how to cook with intuition and applying the ancient ways she had been taught back in India.

It was through her guidance that I learned how to apply the cutting edge, 5000+ year old science of Ayurveda to heal my gut health through intentional spices and herbs. This completely transformed my life.

By harnessing and using the power of potent spices and herbs, I realized that I could change how I felt in my body by just changing my food habits and adding in powerful spices and herbs. I wanted to share this magic with the rest of the world... and Khalo was born.

At Khalo, we’re about doing things with intention. By addressing the foundation of your health—your gut microbiome-- through Ayurvedic wisdom. By making it accessible to all, we will transform how we approach food to live a more healthier and more balanced life.

With gratitude,

After all, how we eat is how we live

Ayurveda is an ancient holistic health system that uses the elements of the earth—such as herbs, spices, and natural remedies—to bring balance to the body, mind, and spirit. Unlike modern approaches that often treat symptoms, Ayurveda addresses the root cause of health issues, promoting overall well-being and preventing illness. By embracing Ayurvedic principles, you can improve digestion, boost energy, reduce stress, and support long-term health.

Living Ayurvedically means embracing a lifestyle that aligns with the natural rhythms of the earth, promoting balance and harmony in your daily life. Ayurveda encourages eating with the seasons and choosing locally-sourced foods that resonate with your environment, ensuring that your diet is fresh and supportive of your body’s natural needs. It also emphasizes eating at specific times of the day, in tune with your body’s circadian rhythm, to optimize digestion and maintain steady energy levels. Ayurveda teaches the importance of eating warm, nourishing foods, which are gentler on the gut and aid in proper digestion. By following these natural cycles and principles, you can live in balance with the earth, fostering a deeper connection to nature while enhancing your overall well-being. When you align your eating habits with the natural world, you not only nourish your body but also cultivate mental clarity, emotional stability, and a profound sense of peace.
