Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology with Jeremy Devens
Unlock the full potential of the Vedic New Year at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/newmoonThe structures you choose to sync up with deeply shape your psychology and sense of alignment with the world. While the Gregorian calendar is the global civil standard, it was primarily designed by Pope Gregory to organize society around Easter rather than astronomical precision. In this episode, I explore seven different New Year dates—from the Lunar New Year in East Asia to the Vedic Solar and Lunar resets—and how each offers a unique energetic shift. We discuss why many people feel a "haze" rather than a renewal on January 1st and how syncing your life with the cycles of the moon, the sun, and the seasons can point you back to your true nature.QUOTES“The structures you sync up with shape your psychology.”“If you're syncing up with a structure that's just sort of made up, that's going to shape your psychology to follow things that are not so much in sync with you, in sync with nature, or what's really aligned with your spirit and soul.”“The Gregorian calendar is really a civil calendar—a way to organize society.”“From the Vedic sidereal perspective, I think the Vedic lunar new year makes the most sense. It's a reset in the lunar year that is a bit more precise.”TIMESTAMPS00:00 How Time Structures Shape Your Psychology01:15 The Gregorian Calendar: A Civil Tool for Society02:04 The Lunar New Year: Moon Cycles and Tides03:54 2025 Water Snake vs. 2026 Fire Horse Energy05:31 Why January Often Feels Like an Internal "Haze"06:21 The Vedic Solar New Year: Sun Entering Sidereal Aries07:45 The Vedic Lunar New Year: Precision and the Chitra Month09:09 The Significance of the Vernal (Spring) Equinox10:13 2026 Eclipse Portals and New Year Shifts10:34 Persian, Islamic, and Jewish New Year Traditions12:11 Your Birthday as a Personal Sense of Renewal12:58 Chitra Nakshatra: Resetting with the "Big Picture"13:52 Returning to Your True Nature through Seasonal Alignment14:29 Ayurveda: Adapting Your Habits to Your Dosha and DigestionKEYWORDSVedic astrology, Jyotish, Gregorian calendar, Lunar New Year, Vedic Solar New Year, Chitra Nakshatra, Vernal Equinox, Ayurveda, Fire Horse 2026, Water Snake 2025, psychology of time.FREE RESOURCES⭐️ Free Birth Chart: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart⭐️ Free Horoscopes: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopes⭐️ Podcast (Spotify, Apple, etc): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/astrology⭐️ Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology⭐️ YouTube: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeWORK WITH ME⭐️ Book a Reading: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/reading⭐️ Decode Your Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/101⭐️ Mentorship: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⭐️ Yoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingNEXT STEP⭐️ Unlock the full potential of the Vedic New Year at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/newmoon
Sasha and Erin dive into a foundational teaching from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: the Pancha Kleshas—five root obstacles that block our inner peace and keep us trapped in suffering.These five kleshas are:Avidya, or ignorance, the root misperception that keeps us from seeing reality clearly. Asmita, egoism, our over-identification with ‘I' and our roles in the world. Raga, attachment, the clinging to pleasure that creates endless desire and intense feelings that drive unconscious, reactive actions which in turn produce karmas. Dvesha, aversion or hatred of suffering, the push against pain and discomfort that fuels reactivity. Abhinivesha, the instinctive fear of death and clinging to life itself, which underlies so much of our anxiety. These kleshas produce duhkha (suffering) and bind the mind to cycles of desire and aversion. In other words, creating patterns and/or addictions that are hard to break.Yoga's purpose is to weaken and dissolve the kleshas, leading to clarity, peace, and liberation.We explore how these kleshas show up in our daily lives, how they influence our relationships, health, and choices, and what practical tools from yoga and Ayurveda can help us recognize, release, and ultimately dissolve these mental obstacles.Send a textFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda products, use code OjasOasis at checkoutFor 20% off GarryNSun products, use code OJASOASIS20 at checkoutFor 20% off Ora Cacao products, use OJASOASIS20 at checkout Receive $500 off your Panchakarma retreat at SoHum Healing Resort with code OjasOasisPK2025 Register for the 2026 NAMA Conference at https://www.ayurvedanama.org/ Support the showTo learn more about working with us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube

Send a textSummary: Recalibrating Awareness – A Quantum Shift in ConsciousnessIn this episode of the Women's Power to Heal Podcast by Maya Tiwari, the focus is on recalibrating awareness amid profound planetary and personal transformation. The content explores the internal and external upheavals experienced as a quantum leap in consciousness unfolds, urging listeners to embrace this transition with mindfulness and spiritual practice.Key InsightsQuantum Leap vs. Progressive Change: Earth and human consciousness are not evolving gradually but undergoing a rapid, quantum shift. Old, false structures—both internal and external—are collapsing, making way for a new reality grounded in light and truth.Inner Turmoil as a Signal: Feelings of unease, fear, or churning within the soul upon waking are not mere reactions to external chaos but indications of deep quantum change. This discomfort signals a bridge from darkness to light, from illusion to truth.Ancient Wisdom for Modern Shifts: The episode references a Sanskrit mantra from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad that petitions divine guidance to move from untruth to truth, darkness to light, and mortality to immortality, emphasizing the timeless nature of this transformation.Role of Judgment and Emotional Release: The practice includes silencing rage and judgment, even when faced with injustice, to avoid fueling negativity. Instead, one must observe, release, and bless past pain and limiting patterns such as doubt, shame, and unworthiness without self-condemnation.Shunya – The Cosmic Void: The transformation is situated at a midpoint called “shunya” or the zero point, a cosmic void representing balance and trust in the unknown. This space must be held patiently and not prematurely filled, allowing awareness to expand exponentially.Connection with Earth and the Galaxy: As individual awareness grows, it aligns with Earth's vibrational recalibration, activating a galactic upgrade of the planet's energetic grid and crystalline light lines, fostering a cohesive planetary consciousness.Practical Spiritual Practice: The recommended approach for coping with emotional pressure is to: Allow emotions to surface without avoidance. Observe discomfort with intention and breath. Sit in the pain or angst to reveal and dissolve hidden blockages. Recognize this process as healing and expanding conscious light. Human Destiny and Empowerment: The episode concludes with an empowering reminder that humanity was created for this transformative era, equipped inherently to overcome challenges and fulfill an immutable destiny of awakening.Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey: Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self- tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Mothermaya@gmail.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

In this episode of the Neuroveda Podcast for Complex Health, Gillian Ehrlich, ARNP, sits down with Dr. Carley Squires to discuss apheresis, with a focus on therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), also known as plasmapheresis.Apheresis means the removal of something from the blood, and the type of apheresis depends on what is being removed. At Neuroveda, the focus is plasma apheresis, meaning plasma is removed and replaced with albumin and saline. Therapeutic plasma exchange is an extracorporeal blood purification technique designed to remove a portion of plasma that may contain potentially harmful substances such as autoantibodies, inflammatory cytokines, immune complexes, and other immune mediators involved in immune dysregulation.Dr. Squires explains the broader umbrella of therapeutic apheresis, including red blood cell exchange, leukapheresis, plateletpheresis, lipid/LDL apheresis, extracorporeal photopheresis, and H.E.L.P. apheresis. While H.E.L.P. apheresis is not currently available in the United States, interest in apheresis expanded during the rise of long COVID, when patients began traveling internationally for treatment.Therapeutic plasma exchange has been used for decades in hospital settings, primarily for autoimmune disease, but is now being explored for additional applications including long COVID, neuroinflammatory conditions, and longevity medicine. Research suggests TPE may help support immune modulation through mechanisms such as:• Removal of immune complexes• Reduction of inflammatory cytokines• Correction of altered Th1/Th2 immune balance• Increased T regulatory and T suppressor cellsEmerging research has also explored TPE for PANDAS/PANS, pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders triggered by infection.Referenceshttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763417305833https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10513708/While additional research is still needed for many of these applications, Neuroveda has also observed significant clinical improvements over the past several years, including reductions in toxic burden from mycotoxins, heavy metals, solvents, plastics, and other persistent environmental toxins.The episode also reviews current American Society for Apheresis (ASFA) guidance, which places many emerging uses of apheresis into Category III, meaning the optimal role is still being defined and treatment decisions should be individualized.ReferenceConnelly-Smith L, et al. Guidelines on the Use of Therapeutic Apheresis in Clinical Practice. J Clin Apher. 2023.Listeners will also hear what to expect from a TPE treatment at Neuroveda. Each session lasts approximately 2–4 hours, during which blood circulates through a machine that separates and removes plasma while returning the remaining blood components with replacement fluid.Although the procedure may sound invasive, TPE is generally well tolerated and safely performed in outpatient settings. Vital signs are monitored throughout treatment, and most patients experience only mild side effects such as fatigue, lightheadedness, or temporary electrolyte shifts.One unique aspect of Neuroveda's approach is the integration of Ayurvedic medicine with modern therapeutic plasma exchange. Ayurvedic therapies use oils, massage, steam, and other treatments to mobilize lipophilic toxins from deeper tissues back into circulation. Because TPE removes substances circulating in the bloodstream, these therapies may help prepare the body for detoxification.This aligns with Panchakarma, Ayurveda's classical detoxification process, which includes rakta moksha, traditionally translated as “blood liberation.” In a modern context, TPE can be viewed as a technological evolution of this ancient concept.Rather than functioning as a stand-alone cure, TPE is often most effective as part of a comprehensive program that may include functional medicine, regenerative medicine,
What happens when we slow down enough to truly listen? In this heartfelt conversation, Colette is joined by her client Jenny, who shares her personal journey with Ayurveda, from her early connection with nature to her recent experience on the Digestive Reset Cleanse. Jenny reflects on how growing up in rural Ireland with a deep love of the natural world quietly shaped her path toward yoga and, eventually, Ayurveda. What began as curiosity evolved into a meaningful relationship with practices that helped her reconnect with her body's rhythms. In this episode, they explore her experience on the Digestive Reset Cleanse, including what surprised her most, the level of personalization and support that allowed the cleanse to feel sustainable within her real life. Rather than being restrictive, she describes it as grounding, clarifying, and deeply supportive. Beyond digestion, Jenny shares how the cleanse helped her rediscover her creativity and cultivate a new level of awareness, not just around food, but around her thoughts, habits, and inner dialogue. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing isn't about perfection. It's about listening, adjusting, and remembering who we are beneath the noise. In this episode, they discuss: Jenny's early connection with nature and how it shaped her worldview What drew her to Ayurveda Her experience on the Digestive Reset Cleanse and the value of personalized guidance How simplifying her routine helped her reconnect with creativity The increased awareness she developed around digestion, habits, and self-trust Join the Spring Digestive Reset Cleanse If you're ready to support your body through this seasonal transition, my Discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse begins April 17th.

Send a textIn this episode, I explore one of my favorite Ayurvedic concepts — langhana, or lightening — and I bring a more nuanced lens to how we can work with this energy in spring without depleting ourselves in the process. Recording from my kitchen in Maine while watching the snow melt, I reflect on the signs of kapha accumulation I'm noticing in my own body and life, and share why the conventional wellness culture approach to spring cleanses and detoxes can backfire — especially for women in perimenopause, those in big life transitions, or anyone whose nervous system is already running on empty. At the heart of this episode is a beautiful reframe: langhana doesn't have to mean restriction. It can mean spaciousness.Key Takeaways:Kapha dosha accumulates in late winter and early spring, showing up as heaviness, sluggish digestion, brain fog, congestion, and low motivationLanghana (lightening) and brahmana (nourishing) are the two primary therapeutic directions in Ayurveda — both are always needed in balanceAggressive spring cleanses, intense exercise, and restriction can deplete women in perimenopause or those with sensitive nervous systems, further aggravating vata doshaThe intensity of your langhana practice should match the resources you have available — constitution, life stage, and current transitions all matterReframing langhana as creating space rather than restriction opens up a gentler, more sustainable approachSpaciousness can be cultivated in the body, the nervous system, the mind, and in life itselfPractical Tools Mentioned:Eating warm, light, spiced foods (kitchari, soups, cooked greens with warming spices)Dry brushing or raw silk garshana gloves (with oil if you're feeling depleted)Getting outside in morning light — even rising before sunrise to catch vata energyMorning pages practice from The Artist's Way by Julia CameronA "reading/media deprivation" week to create mental spaciousnessHome decluttering as a form of energetic lighteningStimulating breathwork or long spacious breathsYoga that alternates between activation and stillness to build nervous system resilienceRhythm & Ritual: A 6-Week Ayurvedic Program for Women in (or approaching) PerimenopauseRegistration for Rhythm & Ritual -A 6-Week Ayurvedic Program for Women in (or approaching) Perimenopause/Menopause is now open!!Early Bird Pricing until March 10th 2026 LEARN MOREResources:Free Masterclass: The Alchemy of the Perimenopause Portal Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram
In this episode, Sajah talks about how to assess a person's constitution through the natal chart and why this matters for effective holistic herbalism. You'll learn how the rising sign, planetary placements, and the 1st to 6th house relationship reveal underlying patterns that determine health, imbalance, and therapeutic strategy. Here's what you'll learn: What "constitution" means in holistic medicine — and why it's foundational Why treating symptoms without constitutional assessment often fails The difference between prakruti (core constitution) and vikruti (current imbalance) in Ayurveda, and how they relate to the natal chart The #1 mistake beginners make in medical astrology Why the rising sign is the true constitutional doorway How to assess constitution through: the rising sign's element, mode, and ruling planet, planets conjunct the ascendant, the ruling planet's placement, strength, and dignity How the 1st house and 6th house form a quincunx, revealing health vulnerabilities A breakdown of the Gemini–Scorpio elimination axis as a case study When the rising sign can be overridden (stelliums, stationary planets, elemental dominance) Why constitutional knowledge should guide herbal formulation ———————————— 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/ Shop our herbal products: https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/ ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

What if the reason your health habits aren't sticking isn't because you're lazy or undisciplined—but because your body needs something different? In this energizing episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy chats with holistic health counselor, behavior change expert, and podcaster Hadlee Garrison about energy habits, nervous system regulation, and why one-size-fits-all wellness advice simply doesn't work. From sleep and stress to Ayurveda, body wisdom, and breaking free from all-or-nothing health patterns, this conversation is packed with practical insight to help you feel more vibrant, balanced, and in tune with your body. What You'll Learn: Why blanket wellness advice can actually keep you stuck How to identify your unique energy archetype and what it means Why sleep is the foundation for better energy, mood, and health How to regulate your nervous system and break all-or-nothing habits Simple ways to listen to your body and support holistic health in midlife
In this expansive conversation, I got a chance to talk to yoga and Ayurveda teacher, mentor, and author Indu Aurora to explore what yoga truly is — and what it is not. We started by unpacking one of Indu's powerful statements: "The goal of yoga is yoga. Everything else is a side benefit." This conversation invites teachers to look beyond flexibility, strength, and stress relief — and into yoga as a state of realization. Indu draws from classical teachings and the commentary on the Yoga Sutras to clarify that yoga is not simply a practice — it is a state of samadhi, a realization of the unchanging self beneath the ever-changing body, mind, and emotions. We take a deep dive into one of Indu's main areas of wisdom, Yoga Nidra and then finish the conversation with some salient pieces of wisdom for all yoga teachers. In this episode you'll hear: why modern practitioners and teachers get stuck focusing on the "fix" why Yoga Nidra is both powerful and accessible how to keep Yoga Nidra from becoming robotic why you should make nature your guru the power of unlearning how to choose a teacher why we both love confusion and doubt Learn More From Indu www.yogsadhna.com https://www.instagram.com/induaroraofficial/ This episode is brought to you by OfferingTree, an easy-to-use, all-in-one online platform for yoga teachers that provides a personal website, booking, payment, blogging, and many other great features.

Modern life in a highly polluted environment where we are exposed to 80.000 chemicals and the EMF/EMR radiation from computers and cell phones, plus the consumption of highly processed foods, can take a toll on our health in a myriad of ways. The millennia-old science of Ayurveda records causes and treatments for Multiple Sclerosis, which still bring hope to patients today. In this incredible episode, Dr. Teitelbaum reveals all the possible causes of MS disease and addresses its ayurvedic treatment options beyond the reach of pharmaceuticals and the Western-medicine approach.
It is only through duality that we can rest in union. Mystics, healers and poets from across the world have been wrestling with this truth since the beginning of time. What they have come to teach us is that the reconciliation of opposites is at the core of experiencing life in a way that is actually healthful and liberated and spiritually uplifted.How can you apply this acceptance of polarity as a tool for health within the reality of your everyday life? How can you use this essential truth as a tool for manifesting and calling in aligned relationships, abundance and purposeful opportunities in your life?This is what this video explores, touching on teachings in Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda, and side tracking a bit on personal experiences and poetic influences.Niv Rajendra is an expert health and longevity coach, Ayurvedic Practitioner and founder of the EMBODIED Ayurveda Programs.

What if inflammation isn't the enemy? For decades we've been told to suppress it, silence it, and eliminate it as quickly as possible. Anti-inflammatory diets. Anti-inflammatory drugs. Anti-inflammatory supplements. But what if the body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do? In this powerful solo episode, Darin breaks down the biology of inflammation and challenges the modern narrative that inflammation itself is the disease. Instead, he reveals a deeper truth: inflammation is a signal — an intelligent response to disruption in the body's environment. From gut health and modern diet to stress, sleep deprivation, environmental toxins, and movement deprivation, this episode uncovers the real drivers behind chronic inflammation and why suppressing the signal without addressing the cause may actually delay healing. This isn't about rejecting modern medicine. It's about asking a better question. Why is the fire there in the first place? In This Episode Why inflammation is the body's emergency response system The difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation The chemical cascade that activates the immune response How the body naturally turns inflammation off through resolution molecules Why chronic inflammation is often a signal that the trigger hasn't been removed The gut microbiome and the connection between leaky gut and systemic inflammation Why Western diets dramatically alter inflammatory signaling The omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance in modern food systems How refined sugar activates inflammatory pathways in the body Chronic psychological stress and the HPA axis inflammatory response The gut-brain-inflammation connection and mental health Sleep disruption and the immune-sleep "crosstalk" cycle Why skeletal muscle acts as an anti-inflammatory organ Environmental toxins, PFAS, pesticides, and microplastics as immune triggers What ancient systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine understood about inflammation thousands of years ago The global reliance on NSAIDs and the culture of suppressing symptoms Research showing anti-inflammatory drugs may delay healing The cycle of gut damage and chronic inflammation created by long-term NSAID use Why removing triggers is the real path to resolving inflammation Chapters 00:00:03 – Opening: Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of building health sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Manna 00:02:16 – Introducing the topic: Why inflammation may be widely misunderstood 00:03:00 – The modern obsession with "anti-inflammatory everything" 00:04:14 – Reframing inflammation: the body's emergency response system 00:05:30 – What actually happens inside the body during inflammation 00:07:00 – Breakthrough research on the body's natural inflammation resolution system 00:08:01 – Acute inflammation vs chronic inflammation explained 00:09:14 – Chronic inflammation and its link to major diseases 00:09:45 – Why inflammation is often a symptom rather than the root cause 00:10:40 – The gut microbiome and its role in regulating inflammation 00:11:40 – How ultra-processed foods damage the gut and trigger inflammatory signals 00:12:23 – Sponsor: Our Place 00:14:53 – Omega-3 vs omega-6 fats and their influence on inflammatory pathways 00:15:48 – Sugar, insulin signaling, and metabolic inflammation 00:16:09 – Chronic stress and the inflammatory cascade 00:17:06 – The gut-brain-inflammation connection 00:18:00 – Sleep and the body's nightly inflammatory reset 00:18:31 – Muscle contraction and the release of anti-inflammatory myokines 00:19:16 – Environmental toxins and why the immune system responds with inflammation 00:20:04 – Ancient perspectives on inflammation, including Ayurveda's concept of "Pitta" 00:22:48 – The widespread use of NSAIDs and anti-inflammatory medications 00:23:50 – Research showing suppressing inflammation may delay healing 00:25:05 – The vicious cycle of NSAIDs damaging the gut and increasing inflammation 00:26:15 – Dietary patterns that reduce inflammatory triggers 00:27:18 – Why daily movement acts as natural anti-inflammatory medicine 00:27:50 – A better question to ask your doctor: Why is inflammation present? 00:28:09 – The final perspective: inflammation as communication from the body 00:29:07 – Closing message: inflammation is not the enemy: it's the conversation Thank You to Our Sponsors Our Place – Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.

It is your body raising the alarm: responding to stress, toxins, injury, imbalance, and disruption. Suppressing the alarm without asking why it's ringing keeps the cycle going. Healing begins when we stop fighting the signal and start listening to what the body is trying to tell us. Your body isn't broken. It's responding to the environment it's been given. Change the environment and the biology follows.
Hormones influence every system in the body, from mood and metabolism to sleep, fertility, and the transitions of midlife. In this episode, I'm joined by Vaidya Princy Prasad of Kerala Ayurveda Academy to explore hormone regulation through the classical lens of Ayurveda. Rather than viewing hormones in isolation, we discuss how endocrine balance reflects the state of the doshas, agni, the nervous system, and overall resilience, especially in today's high-stress world. Vaidya Princy shares practical wisdom on building awareness of hormonal fluctuations, supporting the body through stress and burnout, and navigating perimenopause with steadiness and nourishment. In This Episode, We Explore: Why hormone regulation is such a timely focus in modern life How chronic stress and burnout disrupt hormonal balance The relationship between hormones and Vata, Pitta, and Kapha How to observe and track your own hormonal patterns Managing the transition of perimenopause through Ayurveda Ayurvedic herbs that support hormonal health This conversation offers a grounded, holistic perspective on restoring balance and working with your body's natural rhythms rather than against them.

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Shivani Gupta to talk about Ayurveda, inflammation, and what this 5,000 year old system of medicine reveals about Hashimoto's and thyroid health.There are moments in clinical practice where you realize the conversation around inflammation has been too narrow. We measure antibodies. We look at gut markers. We talk about nutrients. But there is another layer that often gets overlooked, the way daily rhythm and nervous system patterns shape immune behavior.Ayurveda does not separate digestion from stress or stress from immune signaling. It looks at the entire terrain. It asks how your constitution influences the way you burn through energy, hold onto it, or stagnate it. It challenges the idea that everyone should follow the same rules for healing.What I appreciate about this discussion is that it does not add complexity. It adds perspective. It reframes inflammation as something influenced by pace, timing, and consistency, not just inputs.If you have ever felt like you were doing everything on paper and still missing something deeper, this episode will help you see your thyroid in a more integrated way.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/ayurveda-inflammation-hashimotos-thyroid-dr-shivani-gupta/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com
Step into a deeply nourishing conversation about feminine awakening, soul truth, deeper embodiment, and self-first devotion with Ann Marie Ziegler, co-founder of Aryaa Organic, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Ann Marie shares her journey from being the "good woman" who did everything right on the outside, while feeling disconnected and suffocated within, to bravely listening to her body's wisdom when it began speaking through illness, inflammation, and exhaustion. What followed was a profound dark night of the soul that initiated her spiritual awakening, reclamation of her voice, and devotion to living in alignment with truth. She opens up about the courage it took to speak honestly to her family, end a decades-long marriage with love, and model self-honoring for her children. We explore how opening her fifth chakra and releasing shame, guilt, and people-pleasing allowed her to step fully into her power, creativity, and feminine expression. Together, we dive into how ancient wisdom, Ayurveda, and ancestral foods became medicine not only for her body, but for her nervous system, clarity, and intuition. Ann Marie shares how the Aryaa detox supports emotional, mental, and physical release, and why healing happens when we stop controlling the process and allow the body to lead. We also talk about: -Disconnection from the body as a root cause of illness -The difference between Self-first and the selfish/selfless cycle -Speaking truth with love and without apology -Releasing shame, guilt, and perfectionism -Healing through ancestral foods and ancient wisdom -Emotional and mental detox as pathways to clarity and peace -Conscious partnership, service, and giving back as a business devotion I love this woman. I love growing and evolving with her, the CEO Kamal Hans and their company Aryaa Organic. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing begins when we listen to the body, honor the soul's timing, and choose Soul alignment over approval. It's about letting go of the mind asking WHY? and instead listening to the quieter inner heart-nudges. It is an invitation to reclaim your voice, your intuition, and your right to live your best life guided from within. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

Stories from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Wild illustrate how courage, growth, and transformation often emerge step by step.

Dr. Shivani shares what led her to Ayurveda, why turmeric became central to her work, and the key pillars from her new book, including Mental Inflammation™, gut and estrobolome support, and simple daily rituals that actually stick. This conversation is especially powerful for midlife, high-performing women dealing with brain fog, bloat, fatigue, poor sleep, and hormone chaos—who want root-cause solutions that work in real life.

Join the FREE Astro-Herbalism Mini-Course that's happening right now: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/astro-herbalism-mini-course/ In medical astrology, the Sun represents the gravitational center of the psyche and of the body. Just as the planets orbit the Sun, so too does our physiology organize itself around a central core of vitality, expressed through the heart, the circulation of blood, and the distribution of warmth throughout our organism. When the solar principle is strong, we see resilience, clarity, steady immunity, and a sense of inner coherence. When it is weak, patterns of fatigue, coldness, poor circulation, and psychoemotional instability may emerge. In this episode, I'll explore four medicinal plants that are powerful expressions of the solar archetype. Through the lenses of heart, warmth, vitality, and spirit, we'll examine how Hawthorn, Angelica, Ashwagandha, and St. John's Wort restore the solar force within us, bridging alchemical philosophy with grounded clinical application. Here's what you'll learn: The deeper alchemical and medical astrology meaning of the Sun as the center of the psyche and the body The Sun's rulership of the heart, cardiovascular system, and core vitality How solar vitality influences immune strength and resilience Why Hawthorn is a primary cardiovascular trophorestorative and Shen stabilizer How Angelica restores warmth, circulation, and digestive fire in cold, deficient patterns How Ashwagandha builds steady, calm vitality rather than overstimulation How St. John's Wort protects and uplifts the psychoemotional "solar spirit," including its liver and nervous system connections ———————————— 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/ Shop our herbal products: https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/ ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

What if one of the the missing pieces in your fertility journey isn't another item "to-do" but a deeper understanding of your own body?If you're doing all the things—tracking, testing, supplementing, pushing through IVF cycles—yet still feeling disconnected, inflamed, anxious, or exhausted… you might be overlooking the foundation: how your body digests, absorbs, and feels safe enough to create life.Because fertility isn't just numbers and lab results. It's vitality.In this powerful conversation with Ayurvedic practitioner Madison, we demystify Ayurveda—the 5,000-year-old “science of life”—and explore how reconnecting to your body's natural rhythms can transform not just your fertility, but your entire relationship with yourself.Ayurveda teaches that we are made of the same elements as nature—earth, water, fire, air, and space—and that true balance comes from honoring your unique self. When digestion is strong, your nervous system feels safe, and your body is nourished at a cellular level, reproductive health becomes supported naturally.We dive into concepts like prana (life force), why reproductive tissue is the last tissue to be nourished, and why it's not just what you eat—but how you digest—that matters most.If you've been operating in survival mode, this episode will gently invite you back into alignment.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:What Ayurveda really is—and why it's called the “knowledge of life”How your unique dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) impacts your hormones and fertilityWhy digestion is the foundation of egg, sperm, and uterine healthHow increasing prana (life force) can support conscious conception and preconception preparationFertility begins with vitality—and when you learn to nourish your body in alignment with its nature, you don't just prepare for pregnancy… you come back to life yourself.Madison's Bio: Madison is an Ayurvedic Doctor, Functional Hormone Specialist, and Fertility Educator, as well as a longtime teacher of yoga and meditation.

In this episode of Get Real or Die Trying, host Amadon DellErba sits down with Brit Arthur—founder of http://AutoimmuneDiseaseAwareness.com, CEO and designer of BeachCandy Organics (the trailblazing organic swimwear brand), holistic healer, and creator of the Feast to Wellness Protocol—for a fierce, unfiltered confrontation with autoimmune disease and the toxic systems designed to keep us dependent and unwell. Filmed on-location at Avalon EcoVillage.Brit delivers her story without apology: decades of hidden suffering—asthma, acne, body odor, gut chaos, and escalating inflammation that exploded into spinal autoimmune disease at 34, complete with genetic markers and CRP levels screaming cancer territory. Doctors pushed lifelong steroid injections and heavy pharma; she endured a year of minimal gains before walking away in fury at a system that silences symptoms instead of healing roots. She plunged into gut biome research, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, herbalism, detox protocols, and non-toxic truth—then committed fully to plant-based living, toxin elimination, and radical simplicity.The shift was explosive: joint pain and immobility dissolved in days. From needing help to turn doorknobs and being carried from bed, she climbed 8 grueling miles with a 60-pound pack months later. Her Feast to Wellness Protocol—165+ anti-inflammatory, medicinal recipes plus daily detox rituals—has now empowered over 30,000 people globally to claim symptom-free lives from every corner of the planet.Amadon and Brit tear into the heart of it:The medical and food industries that suppress rather than solve—pushing seed oils, ultra-processed garbage, mycotoxin-laden grains, GMOs, pork's toxin accumulation, and endless chemicals while ignoring root causes like glyphosate, plastics, and emotional baggageShattering hustle culture, plastic dependency, restaurant traps, and inflammatory poisons that quietly destroy usThe freedom of minimalism in India, authentic Ayurvedic immersion, copper-charged water, farmers market allegiance, and transforming every meal into medicineWhere spirituality collides with biology: how toxic thoughts, chronic judgment, fear, unresolved trauma, and victim attachment literally manifest disease—and why forgiveness, embracing discomfort, emotional alchemy, and genuine loving connection are essential for extreme, integrated healthThe urgent poisoning of our supply chain, the call for real outrage and collective rebellion, and why every choice—what we eat, wear, think, buy—is sacred resistance and stewardship of body, land, and futureThis isn't soft self-care—it's a battle cry to wake up, purge the poisons (physical, emotional, systemic), reject the "pill up and power through" deception, and seize vibrant, liberated living on your own fierce terms. If you're done suffering quietly, questioning the chemical matrix and quick-fix lies, or ready to turn pain into unbreakable purpose—this raw exchange will set you ablaze.
Invitée: Aline Sigrist. Massage ayurvédique, tisane ayurvédique. LʹAyurveda, cette forme de médecine traditionnelle indienne, est bien ancrée dans les pratiques de soins et de bien-être en Suisse. A quoi ressemble cette pratique à lʹorigine? Comment est-elle réappropriée et reformulée en Suisse? Pourquoi lʹAyurveda a-t-il autant de succès en Suisse?

Today, Sasha and Erin dive into the root causes of disease, as described in Ayurveda.In classical Ayurveda, disease is never random. At the deepest level, it arises when we forget our true nature as spirit, identifying with the ego instead of our inherent consciousness.Subsequently, there are three primary root causes: 1. Parinama – the process of natural transformation and change.Parinama is the understanding that everything in life — our body, mind, and environment — is in constant motion. This includes the passage of time, the cycles of energy in our body, and the “drama” of life itself — the events, relationships, and stresses that stir the mind. When we resist change, cling to outcomes, or identify with transient experiences, these forces accumulate as tension, aging, and ultimately disease. Parinama reminds us that disease can arise when we fail to flow with change, instead binding ourselves to patterns of reaction, attachment, or ego. 2. Prajnaparadha – the mistake of the intellect.This happens when our discernment is clouded, and we act against our own well-being. It's not ignorance, but lapses in wisdom that create imbalance — like eating, thinking, or acting in ways that disrupt our natural rhythms. 3. Asatmendriyartha Samyoga – the misuse of the senses.When we overindulge, neglect, or misuse sensory input — taste, sight, sound, touch, or smell — we disconnect from our inner rhythm. This leads to physical and mental imbalance and eventually manifests as disease.Sasha and Erin unpack each of these root causes whilst sharing personal anecdotes, and exploring practical ways to apply this knowledge and increase ease in mind, body, and spirit.

In this episode of the Neuroveda podcast for Complex Health, Gillian Ehrlich, family nurse practitioner certified in Ayurveda and functional medicine at Neuroveda Health in Seattle, sits down with Dr. Kiki Chang, MD, child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist specializing in mood and neuropsychiatric disorders.Dr. Chang brings 26 years of experience, including creating and running research programs and clinics at Stanford University focused on Pediatric Bipolar Disorder and PANS/PANDAS. Together, they unpack what “neuropsychiatric” really means, how to tell the difference between typical development and symptoms that are interrupting a child's life, and why the biology matters, especially when kids change suddenly.They cover what PANS and PANDAS are, why acute onset and “comorbidity” are such important clues, what a thoughtful clinical workup can look like, and how treatment often spans more than one lane, including infection evaluation, anti-inflammatory strategies, and immunomodulatory approaches when appropriate. Dr. Chang also shares why advocacy and education remain central to progress in this field and how families can find credible resources and care.Dr. Chang is currently in private practice offering consultations, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment for children, adolescents, and adults. His goal is to distill what he learned in academia into an approach that views psychiatric illness as biological while recognizing psychological input to treatment is important as well. He continues to research and consult for organizations including law firms, pharmaceutical companies, and private foundations.To contact Dr. Chang and his practice, visit www.kikichangmd.com
Welcome back to the podcast! In today's episode I have the pleasure of speaking with my friend and colleague Emma Kupu Mitchell to discuss using your moon sign as a practical self-care tool for grounding during stressful times, overwhelm, life transitions, or just as an everyday practice for self-study. Emma is a holistic practitioner and a creative spiritual guide for women in midlife and beyond.This conversations was inspired by Emma telling her daughter to “do your moon” while adjusting to university life in England. Emma shares her background in aromatherapy, Ayurveda, massage, and nature-based living, plus a love-hate relationship with astrology that emphasizes taking “spoonfuls” and focusing on embodied, elemental connection rather than overwhelm or rigid predictions. You'll hear us frame astrology as an ancestral, seasonal navigation tool to observe how different lunar transits affect one's inner life, not binary “good/bad” interpretations. If you are new to astrology or want to deepen your connection with the elements and daily practice of self study, I recommend you get out your journal and follow along! This is a public episode.

In today's webinar, Tom read the first chapter of a new writing project: Principles of New Biology, a foundational exploration of how life is formed and maintained through wave-like, electromagnetic forces rather than random chemistry.He discussed how traditional systems like Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda recognized this creative process—long before modern science abandoned the concept of a creator or blueprint—and how our health depends on remaining faithful to the original “word” or organizing frequency that gives us form.Q&A topics included: - Is DNA testing accurate? - What is the role of heat (fever, hot flashes) in healing? - Crystalline structure and species resonance - Cavitations and dental healing - Straphanthus and its safety with cardiac medications - Hydroxychloroquine, quercetin, and ivermectin – what do they really do? - The role of electromagnetic fields in heart function and circulation - Updated insights since Human Heart, Cosmic HeartSupport the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg
In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes Brett Aldrich, founder of Seed the Spirit, for a deep dive into the 5,000-year-old science of Ayurvedic medicine. As an Ayurvedic healthcare counselor and somatic breathwork teacher, Brett shares how we can move beyond the "corporate model" of contemporary medicine to find a personalized path toward true wellness. The conversation explores how the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—make up our unique constitutions and how "doshas" (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) influence everything from our physical health to our emotional temperament. Brett explains that while the world around us may feel chaotic, Ayurveda provides the tools to remain centered and "whole" within that chaos.

In Episode 432, we explored how awareness builds integrity, how listening to the body moment by moment allows coherence to arise naturally. But what happens when awareness feels muted? What if you can't clearly feel hunger, fatigue, or even your own emotions? What if instead of clarity, there's numbness, confusion, or second-guessing? In this follow-up episode, Colette explores what happens when body signals have been overridden for years and how Ayurveda offers a gentle, practical path to rebuilding trust with your body. Drawing on the Ayurvedic concept of prajnaparadha (loss of awareness), this episode explains how repeated overriding of hunger, fatigue, or emotional signals is not a personal failure, it is physiology. The nervous system adapts to long-term stress by lowering the volume of internal cues, conserving energy for survival. You'll learn how chronic stress can dull interoception (your ability to sense internal states), weaken agni (digestive and perceptual fire), and create disconnection from subtle signals. Most importantly, you'll discover how to gently restore awareness without force. This episode offers compassionate reassurance and practical micro-practices to help you rebuild inner reference points so that health decisions arise from relationship rather than reaction. In this episode, you'll learn: Why awareness can feel muted after years of overriding body signals How chronic stress affects digestion, perception, and nervous system regulation The connection between agni, interoception, and self-trust Why muted awareness is not a personal defect How Ayurveda educates you to participate in your own care Simple daily micro-practices to rebuild body trust Signs that trust and interoception are returning This episode is an invitation to move from self-judgment to self-trust, from forcing clarity to creating safety. Rebuilding trust with the body is not about trying harder to listen. It's about restoring the conditions where awareness feels safe enough to return.

Gallbladder and bile issues are some of the most common digestive problems in the western world - and with good reason. But you have more control over preventing these problems than you might think -- meaning you don't have to wait for the pain to be so intense that you get your gallbladder removed. (And even then, it might not solve your issues). In today's rebooted show, I'm telling you all about: - what bile's role is in the body - the signs to look for BEFORE gallstones form - why bile is key to more than just fat digestion & absorption - how to improve bile synthesis and flow without medications ... and more!

Tenderoni Hotline #21: Hello my love, and welcome back to the Tenderoni Hotline, our soft and spacious corner of the Feminist Wellness Podcast, where we explore your most tender questions about healing, nervous system care, and returning home to yourself. In today's episode, we're unpacking a question that comes up all the time in somatic spaces, yoga classes, and Instagram infographics: Are emotions really stored in the hips? Together, we'll get curious about where this idea comes from, how it gets flattened into oversimplified slogans, and what's actually happening in your body when those hips feel tight, tender, or tear-filled. We'll talk about the difference between emotional release and emotional resolution, what the nervous system has to do with chronic muscle bracing, and why fascia, stress, and safety are central to understanding what your body is trying to tell you. And because you know I love the science and the woo, we'll explore the origins of this concept across different systems, from somatic psychology to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and Indigenous frameworks, with care, nuance, and zero appropriation. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of why this myth persists, how your body actually processes emotional pain, and why healing isn't about “extracting” emotion but expanding your capacity to feel, soften, and stay present with yourself. So go ahead and get cozy. I'm so glad you're here. Got a question for the Tenderoni Hotline?
