Vital Beauty: Eating for Longevity from Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda & Ancestral Nutrition

A live workshop with Letha Hadady on food, herbs and the radiance that deepens with age

The healing traditions of China, India and Tibet never treated beauty as something applied to the surface. Clear skin, bright eyes, strong hair, an easy posture and a warm presence were read as signs of what was happening within: how well we digest, rest, and carry our years. In this view, beauty is simply vitality made visible, and it begins on the plate.

Letha Hadady has spent decades studying how these traditions nourish beauty from the inside, and has written about it in Personal Renewal and Healthy Beauty. In this workshop, she brings that work together with the foundations we teach at Academy Healing Nutrition: food energetics, tonic herbs and the AHN Longevity Diet.

It's for anyone who wants to look and feel well for the long run, and especially for those in midlife who want to age with radiance rather than fight it, and those whose work asks them to be seen.

In this workshop, you'll explore:

• How Chinese medicine and Ayurveda read skin, hair, eyes and energy as signs of inner vitality

• The foods that build lasting radiance, drawn from food energetics and the AHN Longevity Diet

• Tonic herbs and simple daily rituals these traditions turn to for graceful aging

• Why rest, emotional ease and joy show on the face

• An overview of our 12-month Holistic Health Coaching Certification, for anyone who feels called to study this work more deeply or bring it to others

Where this leads. Everything in this workshop is a doorway into our 12-month Holistic Health Coaching Certification, where Letha teaches Ayurveda alongside a wide-ranging faculty: founder Roger Green, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who leads the food energetics and longevity teachings; Nam Singh, Taoist priest and doctor of Chinese medicine, on cooking with Chinese herbs; herbalist and chef Inga Bylinkina, on herbs, tonics and the healing kitchen; and Eden Connelly Tallarico, on building a holistic business. The program brings together food energetics from Chinese medicine, Ayurveda and ancestral nutrition, Taoist tonic herbalism, and longevity science, with personal mentoring and business training to support your coaching journey. The next cohort begins 1 March 2027, and AHN Global Cofounder Patricia Lopez will share more at the close.
