On today's solo episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm sharing one of my greatest passions Ayurveda, and how this ancient healing system can deeply support your fertility journey. Ayurveda, which translates to “the study of life,” is a holistic approach that brings harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. In this episode, I'll walk you through the three doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, and how understanding your unique body type can empower you to make daily choices that support reproductive health and overall well-being. You'll learn how to identify your dominant dosha, how to nourish and balance it with specific foods, yoga practices, and self-care rituals, and why Ayurveda is such a powerful and intuitive tool for restoring balance. Whether you're new to Ayurveda or looking to integrate it more fully into your life, this episode is filled with practical guidance to help you feel more connected, grounded, and supported on your path to fertility. Key Takeaways: Ayurveda is a holistic science that balances the body, mind, and spirit to promote fertility and overall health. There are three primary doshas Vata (air & ether), Pitta (fire & water), and Kapha (earth & water) each with unique physical, emotional, and energetic characteristics. Understanding your dosha helps you make personalized lifestyle and nutrition choices that support hormonal balance and reproductive health. Vata types benefit from warmth, grounding, and healthy fats; Pitta types thrive on cooling, anti-inflammatory foods; and Kapha types need stimulation, lighter foods, and movement. Daily practices like dry brushing, self-massage, and tailored yoga routines can deeply support nervous system regulation and fertility. Ayurveda provides intuitive and practical tools you can apply daily to feel more balanced, energised, and connected to your body. ✨ Take the Dosha Quiz here to discover your Ayurvedic body type!

Opening Paragraph In this solo episode, Amy Wheeler invites listeners into a conversation about the intersection of childhood religion and the lifelong path of yoga therapy. What happens when the grace-filled teachings of Lutheran Christianity (insert your belief structure here) meet the depth and systematization of Indian philosophy? Can we honor both? Amy explores her own journey—from growing up in a progressive Christian household to becoming a devoted student and teacher of Yoga—unpacking how these spiritual lineages can coexist with humility, respect, and a shared intention to reduce suffering. This episode encourages us all to ask: Can different belief systems lead us toward the same inner peace? And more importantly, can we stay grounded in ethical yoga practice while honoring both source and seeker?In This Episode, Amy Discusses:Her upbringing as a Lutheran minister's daughter and how values like grace, compassion, and service shaped her early views on faith and spirituality.The transformative moment of discovering Yoga philosophy, particularly the structure and clarity of Patañjali's Yoga Sūtra and the Bhagavad Gītā.Navigating cultural appreciation vs. cultural appropriation—especially as a Western Yoga Therapist working with ancient Indian teachings.Can someone be a Yoga Therapist and maintain their original religious identity? Amy dives into the conversation about pluralism, integrity, and therapeutic intention.Iśvara as a formless universal presence, and whether one's version of “God,” “Allah,” “Jesus,” or “Buddha” can reflect the same sattvic qualities in a yoga-based healing context.Amy reminds us that being a yoga therapist is not about spiritual perfection or ideological purity—it's about long-term dedication to learning, humility, and reducing human suffering. Whether your spiritual background includes religion, atheism, or a mix of philosophies, the invitation is to stay with the practice, keep questioning, and deepen your connection to the wholeness of yoga without abandoning your roots. As she says, “Maybe the real question is whether what you believe is helping you be a better, kinder human being.” Amy Wheeler's Contact Info: Website: www.TheOptimalState.com Email: amy@amywheeler.com Instagram: @optimalstate YouTube: Optimal State with Amy Wheeler LinkedIn: Amy Wheeler PhDInterested in Studying Yoga Therapy or Ayurveda?Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at Maryland University of Integrative Health A rigorous, accredited program rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern integrative health. https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/master-of-science-in-yoga-therapy/Therapeutic Yoga for Licensed Health Care Providers (LHCPs) Learn how to ethically and effectively integrate yoga into your existing healthcare profession. https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices/Integrative Ayurvedic Wellness Program Study the sister science to yoga through the lens of modern wellness, offering tools for nutrition,
For this interview, I am talking with Lauren Cuvala, certified Ayurvedic Health Advisor, and a certified Energy Medicine Yoga® Teacher. She has a passion for connecting people to nature and does so through teaching workshops, yoga and guided hiking. Our conversation touches on Ayurveda as an ancient lifestyle that opposes many of the high-protein, cold food and drink trends, and go-go-go tendencies of our Western society. We talk about how each of us has a combination of air, water, space, fire, and earth in our constitutions and what that means for keeping us each uniquely in balance via our own lifestyle choices. And we also talk about Lauren's journey from corporate America to the path that she is on now that honors her passions with a slower pace, nature-based way of life.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed trying to learn herbal medicine and astrology? This is one of the biggest challenges I hear from people studying herbalism on its own… throw astrology on top of it, and it just seems like too much. They say, “I was already overwhelmed trying to learn how to become a great herbalist. And now, to practice this way, I have to learn the massive system of astrology too. I'm busy with my day job, family, home, and garden, and it's too much.” But it doesn't have to be that way! There is a strategic approach that allows you to study herbal medicine and astrology at the same time. The philosophical bases of both herbal medicine and astrology are, at their core, one and the same- for they are built off the same fundamental blueprint of nature. When you study these fundamental principles and patterns of astrology and herbalism simultaneously, it enhances your learning of both systems, making it quicker to learn them and thus incorporate them into your work with people. This is what I call the Zodiacal Study Strategy. It is a model for study that you can incorporate into the time you have available—or rather the time you create—to optimize your learning process of both herbalism and astrology. It is built on the similarities between the philosophical foundations of holistic herbalism and astrology, or what I think of as the architecture of the zodiac. As with anything worth learning, you must make time to study, integrate, and practice. Unfortunately, it won't magically appear. What differentiates a good herbalist or astrologer from a great one is discipline and consistency in studying and gaining experience. And it's about using your time strategically. What follows is one year's worth of study. By the end of that year, you will have a solid foundation in both astrological medicine and clinical herbal medicine. ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at: http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/ Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/ ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

From clinical to spiritual perspectives, we don't just focus on what herbs are "good for," but rather who they are as intelligent beings, and how we can work with them to heal us physically and consciously evolve. ———————————— ABOUT SAJAH ———————————— Sajah Popham is the author of Evolutionary Herbalism and the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in a holistic system of plant medicine that encompasses clinical Western herbalism, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and spagyric alchemy. His mission is to develop a comprehensive approach that balances the science and spirituality of plant medicine, focusing on using plants to heal and rejuvenate the body, clarify the mind, open the heart, and support the development of the soul. This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves. He lives on a homestead in the foothills of Mt. Baker Washington with his wife Whitney where he teaches, consults clients, and prepares spagyric herbal medicines. ———————————— WANT TO FEATURE US ON YOUR PODCAST? ———————————— If you'd like to interview Sajah or Whitney to be on your podcast, click here to fill out an interview request form.

Autism Family Resource Podcast Episode 45 (Sensory integration series Part 2) Welcome Back! In this episode of the Autism Family Resource Podcast, we delve into the world of sensory needs and explore the often-misunderstood behaviors of mouthing and chewing in children. Join us as we welcome back occupational therapist Dipali Devani for the second episode of our Calming the Chaos Sensory series. Dipali sheds light on the reasons behind these behaviors, how sensory needs influence these actions, and practical strategies to support your child. Guest: Dipali Devani Dipali Devani is a licensed occupational therapist specializing in sensory integration and a certified Ayurveda practitioner. She works with individuals of all ages to help them process sensory input, develop emotional regulation skills, and build independence in daily life. Her holistic approach blends modern therapy techniques with ancient wellness practices to promote overall well-being. Key Takeaways: Mouthing & Chewing: Children may put non-food objects like clothing, toys, or even their own hands or arms in their mouths excessively. This can disrupt daily activities and may be accompanied by chewing or sucking on these objects. Sensory & Regulation: Mouthing and chewing often stem from a need for oral sensory stimulation and regulation, especially in children with autism or sensory processing disorder. These behaviors can be triggered by anxiety, boredom, or a lack of deep pressure input. Red Flags: Mouthing and chewing are typical in children under three. If these behaviors persist beyond age five, it's crucial to seek an evaluation from an occupational therapist (OT). Potential Impacts: Excessive mouthing and chewing can lead to difficulties with eating, social interaction, and overall health. This can include nutritional deficiencies, increased risk of infections, and social isolation. Strategies & Interventions: OTs can help identify triggers, develop sensory diets, and provide interventions such as chewable jewelry, weighted activities, and sensory breaks. Home Strategies: Parents can incorporate strategies like blowing bubbles, using an electric toothbrush, engaging in animal walks, and creating a safe corner with sensory toys.

I didn't just go to India. I checked myself into a hospital for 21 days. I let go of my business, my routine, my Western way of life—and I surrendered to a deep, ancient healing process. I was bathed by women half my size, scrubbed down with herbs, and forced to slow down in a way I never had before. This is what happened. Why I Did This I reached a breaking point. Numb toes, neuropathy, panic attacks, extreme stress, feeling trapped in my body—it all led me to this decision. My body was screaming at me. And I knew I needed something more than another diet, another break, another surface-level fix. I discovered Pancha Karma, an ancient Ayurvedic cleanse for detoxing not just the body, but the mind and soul. I decided to go all in. I closed down my business, leaving everything behind. Arrival at Vaidyagrama: Entering Another World This was a hospital—not a spa. There were basic rooms, strict routines, and repetitive rituals. Getting naked was a daily ritual. The towels were tiny, and loincloths were used for coverage. For the first time, I was truly seen. The doctors and staff infused ancient wisdom with medicine. Prayer and spiritual connection were a part of every treatment. Everything was done with deliberate slowness. There was no soap, no shampoo, no rushing—just pure, purposeful care for the body. The Treatments: Surrendering to the Process Red juice treatment. I lay on a wooden slab, while three tiny Indian women poured warm red juice over my body again and again, staining my skin crimson. Oil massages & herbal scrubs. I was massaged daily by women who saw bodies in a way I never had—practical, neutral, without judgment. Ghee treatment. I was fed butter and broth for 21 days. As this happened, it was not only my body that became cleansed, but also my mind in its relationship to food. Everything here was intentional. Every drop of oil, every movement, every prayer. It was about more than the body—it was about resetting something deep inside me. My Body Was No Longer an Enemy Western culture teaches us to battle our bodies. Ayurveda teaches us to nurture, honor, and support them. For the first time in my life, I wasn't trying to change my body. I was caring for it. I released old narratives. My body isn't something to fix—it's something to listen to. What shifted for me: I stopped seeing my size as "wrong." I understood slowness as healing instead of laziness. I learned to receive care instead of always giving. What I Took Home with Me The real healing started after I left. In the West, we treat exhaustion like a badge of honor. In India, I learned that rest is sacred. I made changes in my daily life—diet, movement, self-talk, and most importantly, prioritizing inner peace over external productivity. Closing Thought Would I do it again? Absolutely. This wasn't just a cleanse. It was a complete reset—of my body, my mind, and the way I relate to myself. And I think more of us need that.

In this podcast, Hannah Levin discusses her mission to alleviate unnecessary suffering through Ayurveda and yoga, drawing from her personal health crisis with high-grade cervical dysplasia. She explains how Western medicine offered surgery as the only option, but discovering Ayurveda helped her heal and inspired her to guide others toward conscious, health-supportive choices. Levin emphasizes that much of our suffering comes from living out of sync with nature's rhythms, often unconsciously, and that true freedom arises from balancing structure and spontaneity. She delves into Ayurvedic principles, including the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), and how they influence health, emotions, and daily habits. Through her coaching, she helps people cultivate awareness, implement gradual habit changes, and make sustainable lifestyle shifts aligned with their unique constitutions. The conversation also explores the role of community, meditation, and intentional living in fostering well-being, ultimately advocating for a compassionate, balanced approach to personal growth and healing.--Hannah Elizabeth Levin is the founder of Heartfelt Wellbeing LLC. She is an Ayurveda Practitioner, yoga teacher, and artist who also holds a masters degree in teaching. Hannah expertly guides women to regain their optimal health and wellbeing through her online coaching programs and retreats.https://www.heartfeltwellbeing.com/https://www.facebook.com/heartfeltwellbeinghttps://www.facebook.com/groups/heartfelthannahhttps://www.instagram.com/heartfeltwellbeing/ Hosted on Acast.

Inside this week's episode of the Highest Self Podcast, I'm sharing Day One of the Dharma Summit—and it's my most personal, raw, and real share yet. For the first time, I'm the one in the hot seat. Interviewed by my friend and gifted healer Sean McFarland, connected through Rev. Michael Beckwith, I opened up about the journey that led me here… This was originally intended for the first day of my free 5-day Dharma Summit… but I had to share it with you on the Highest Self Podcast. Sean and I get into: ✨ How Ayurveda became the spark that brought me back to life ✨ The moment I discovered my dosha—and how it helped me finally understand my body, energy, and path ✨ Why rejection was my redirection ✨ How I discovered the 5 elements of the Dharma Blueprint ✨ The exact method I use to guide others to their soul's purpose ✨ And how you can begin applying the Dharma Discovery Method today When you finally choose to tune into your truth—when you align with what actually lights you up—that's when things begin to shift. You start meeting the right people at the right time. The words you need show up in a conversation, a book, or a podcast. You feel like the universe is speaking directly to you.
