Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych speaks with Dr. J.V. Hebbar, founder of EasyAyurveda.com and Easy Ayurveda Hospital in India, about the truth behind Ayurveda and spirituality, and what it actually means for busy, modern people. Together they explore what spirituality truly is (and isn't), whether Ayurveda itself is a spiritual practice, and the role clarity can play in healing without drifting into extremism. Dr. Hebbar offers grounded perspectives on fasting, restrictive diets, money and healing, celebrity culture, psychedelic therapies, and the misconception of Ayurvedic practitioners as gurus, while explaining why a sattvic, truthful, and self-disciplined lifestyle supports mental health, courage, and clearer perception. This conversation cuts through spiritual hype to ask a practical question: Can spirituality make you healthier, and if so, how?

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm concluding our three-part series on Ayurveda and perimenopause with a deep dive into ojas — the subtle essence that governs vitality, immunity, resilience, and emotional steadiness.We're recording in the dark days of winter here in the Northern Hemisphere, and I begin by reflecting on how seasonal rhythms mirror the inner transitions many of us experience during perimenopause. Just as nature turns inward in winter, this phase of life invites us to slow down, listen more closely, and tend ourselves with greater care.In Ayurveda, perimenopause is not seen as a problem or a decline, but as a time of refinement — a transition into a wiser, more conserving phase of life. Ojas becomes especially precious during this time, as rising vata (air and space) can draw on our reserves of vitality if we're not supported.In this episode, we explore:What ojas is from an Ayurvedic perspective — physically, energetically, and emotionallyWhy perimenopause is considered an ojas-sensitive windowHow hormonal shifts, stress, sleep disruption, and midlife responsibilities can affect ojasThe relationship between rasa dhatu, agni, and ojasSigns of ojas depletion — emotionally and physicallyThe difference between para ojas (essential, life-sustaining) and apara ojas (day-to-day, replenishable vitality)How ojas depletion can show up differently through vata, pitta, and kapha qualitiesGentle, realistic ways to rebuild and protect ojas during perimenopauseWhy this phase is not a depletion story, but a recalibration of energy and vitalityThis episode is an invitation to soften the narrative around perimenopause and to see it as a meaningful turning point: a time to protect the sacred nectar of vitality so we can move into the next phase of life feeling steadier, resourced, and radiant.Resources mentioned:Free download: A Gentle Ayurvedic Guide to Perimenopause: Five Ways to Support Your Nervous System and DigestionSelf-abhyanga (oil massage) practicesPrevious episodes in this series on Rasa and AgniIf this episode resonates with you, I'm also quietly preparing a spring offering that weaves together one-on-one Ayurvedic consultations, group support, yoga, somatic practices, and seasonal rhythm — you can join my mailing list to learn more when it's ready.Join the WAITLIST for Rhythm & RItual: an Ayurvedic Journey for PerimenopauseThank you so much for listening and for walking this transition with curiosity and care.Resources: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

You have surely felt butterflies in your stomach before a big event or had a ‘gut' feeling about something. You might even say you need to ‘digest' some big news. Our stomach is sometimes dubbed the ‘second brain' and it's more than just a metaphor.   The term gained traction in the West in 1999, thanks to Dr. Michael Gershon's book “The Second Brain.” However, the concept isn't new. Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient Indian healing system, has recognized the gut-brain connection for thousands of years. In Ayurveda, the digestive system and the mind are intertwined; a disturbance in one affects the other. This link is embodied in the concept of Agni, or ‘digestive fire,' which pertains to both physical digestion and the processing of emotions and thoughts. Nourishing our Agni with the right foods can make us feel better, both physically and mentally. Where did this idea originate? Is there scientific backing for this brain-gut connection? Can taking care of our gut improve our mental well-being?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

As we move fully into early winter, many of us begin to notice changes in our skin, tightness, dryness, rough patches, or increased sensitivity. In Ayurveda, these seasonal shifts are meaningful clues about what's happening internally. Winter, especially early winter, increases Vata dosha with its cold, dry, and mobile qualities, which can intensify skin imbalance if we don't adjust our routines and nourishment. In this episode, we dive into Ayurveda's full guide to winter skin care. You'll learn what happens to the skin during early winter, how to identify signs of imbalance for your dosha type (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), and the internal and external practices that keep your skin hydrated, radiant, and resilient all season long. This episode includes: Seasonal skin insights: How early winter's Vata qualities affect moisture, circulation, and sensitivity Signs of winter imbalance for each dosha Why rasa dhatu matters for skin health Internal and external rituals to support dryness, irritation, or congestion The emotional connection: How mood imbalances show up on the skin Holistic winter self-care that brings radiance from within Whether your skin becomes dry and flaky, red and irritated, or dull and congested during the colder months, this episode offers practical, grounding tools to support your unique doshic needs.

Send us a textIn today's episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I'm joined by Alyx Coble-Frakes, founder of The Agenda, for a powerful and wide-ranging conversation about menstrual cycles, perimenopause, and what happens when women stop overriding their bodies.This episode lands perfectly in the middle of my three-part series on Ayurveda and perimenopause, expanding the conversation beyond hormones as something to “fix” and into hormones as sources of insight, rhythm, and power.Together, we explore how understanding the menstrual cycle can radically change how we work, relate, parent, create, and lead — and why ignoring cyclical biology has contributed to burnout, relationship strain, and increasingly difficult perimenopause experiences in modern culture.One of the central themes we explore is the concept of “meno divorce” — a term used to describe the increased likelihood of separation or divorce during perimenopause and menopause, often initiated by women. Rather than framing this as hormones “ruining relationships,” we talk about perimenopause as a truth-revealing portal, where long-standing imbalances, unmet needs, and emotional inequities become impossible to ignore.This conversation is honest, validating, fiery, and deeply compassionate — touching on patriarchy, unpaid labor, nervous system overload, erotic aliveness, and the reclamation of feminine wisdom.In This Episode, We Discuss:• The menstrual cycle as an internal seasonal rhythm • The four phases of the cycle and how they affect energy, mood, libido, and cognition • Why women aren't meant to function on linear, masculine productivity models • Perimenopause as a portal into clarity, sovereignty, and self-truth • What “meno divorce” really reflects — and why it's not about women being “crazy” • Hormonal shifts and reduced tolerance for emotional and relational inequity • The mental load, unpaid labor, and libido loss many women carry in midlife • How understanding cycles can transform partnerships and communication • Why tracking your cycle is a foundational self-care and self-advocacy tool • The overlap between Ayurvedic wisdom and cycle awareness • Reclaiming erotic aliveness, intuition, and feminine leadership in midlifeAbout Today's Guest:Alex Kabul Franks is the founder of The Agenda, a platform dedicated to helping menstruating people sync their lives with their hormonal rhythms so they can feel more in flow physically, emotionally, and mentally.Through cycle-syncing tools, education, and advocacy, Alex's work helps women shift from battling their hormones to recognizing them as a powerful internal guidance system.You can learn more about Alex and her work through The Agenda app and planner (links below).InstagramCheck out The Agenda App:App StoreResources: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

Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, the nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery.

In this episode, good friend Amber Lynn Vitale joins us to unpack the many layers of one of the hottest new supplements in the past year, Berberine. She shared what's real, based on science and as a consumer how to spot a poorly made version of Berberine.What is Berberine?Berberine is found in Goldenseal, Oregon Grape, and Turmeric Tree also known as Barberry. In all these plants Berberine comes from the roots, and is used in Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Western herbalism. Bitter and Astringent, it is traditionally known to reduce fat and improve sugar metabolism by improving glucose and lipid receptor expression.Numerous studies on Berberine show it supports healthy:Blood Sugar levelsLipid profileBlood PressureInflammatory responseWeight and Body CompositionCognitive functionReproductive function…especially researched in PCOSBerbevis clinical studies show benefits in body composition with fat redistribution away from the organs, glucose and insulin metabolism, and bioavailability with respect to both absorption and half-life potency.Guest: Amber Lynn Vitale, CN is Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition® and a Certified Dietary Supplement Professional™. She is also an Ayurvedic Clinical Consultant on faculty with Wild Rose College of Herbal Medicine, and on the advisory board for Natural Practitioner and Taste for Life magazines. Amber's journey in the healing arts developed richly as she worked for years in practices with Integrative Physicians, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, and Nurses. Since 2008 she has been producing written and video educational content for many publications, an educational YouTube channel, and Instagram and Facebook pages. By 2012 she had realized that raw materials sourcing, labeling transparency, legitimate certifications, and educational support were the criteria that would set quality natural products brands apart from the rest; and she made it her mission to educate both the practitioner and the public about the standards that ensure a reliable product.  Recently she founded Trifecta for Health, LLC using her years of experience to develop synergistic health protocols tailored to individual needs, and provide brand support for the best supplemental products currently available.Read More about BerberineLearn more about Emerald Labs Berberine Phytosome Use the code Forever to get 20% Off your order at Emeraldlabs.com

Send us a textLet's expose the standard advice that is making new mothers miserable: the push for high-fiber, raw fruits and vegetables immediately postpartum. It sounds healthy, but it's the root cause of crippling postpartum bloating, gas, and poor nutrient absorption!Get ready for a physiological truth: the postpartum digestive system is temporarily compromised. Loading it with complex plant matter is sabotage. You'll uncover the ancient wisdom of traditional cultures (Chinese, Ayurvedic) that prioritized warm, cooked, easily digestible foods for thousands of years. This episode is your guide to strategic postpartum nutrition that maximizes healing and finally ends the cycle of depletion and discomfort.Check out this episode on the blog HERE. Key time stamps: 02:50: Why the postpartum digestive system is temporarily compromised.04:05: The body prioritizes critical healing over complex digestion. 05:40: Traditional cultures prioritize warm, cooked, easily digestible foods. 07:15: Why cold, raw foods dampen the digestive "fire." 08:20: The flaw in modern nutrition: ignoring digestibility and absorption. 08:50: Fiber requires significant digestive capacity the postpartum body lacks. 10:10: How high-fiber foods cause bloating, gas, and inflammation in a compromised gut. 11:00: Raw vegetables are problematic: they require high energy and are "cooling." 12:50: The benefits of cooking: increased nutrient bioavailability and reduced anti-nutrients. 13:30: The real causes of postpartum constipation (hormones, fear, magnesium deficiency). 14:55: How high fiber impairs nutrient absorption (binding effect) for depleted mothers. 16:00: The correct progression: simple/cooked → complex/raw. 17:00: Immediate relief: Switching to cooked, warm food resolves bloating in days. 17:55: The importance of respecting digestive capacity and natural progression.NEXT STEPS:

In this episode, we explore how to support steady blood sugar during the holiday season using Ayurvedic wisdom. With more sugar, irregular meals, travel, and stress during the holidays, it's easy for the body's metabolic fire (agni) to become overwhelmed. Ayurveda offers practical, gentle tools to keep digestion strong, cravings balanced, and energy steady. We take a deeper look at the pancreas as a home of agni and how its function relates to three key subdoshas: Pachaka Pitta, Kledaka Kapha, and Samana Vayu. You'll learn how these forces work together to regulate metabolism, mood, and digestive rhythm and why sugar crashes are both a physical and emotional imbalance. You'll also discover: Why holiday habits disrupt blood sugar How sugar cravings form from an Ayurvedic standpoint Simple remedies for sugar crashes Spices that naturally support metabolic balance Eating rhythms and lifestyle tools that strengthen agni Practices to prevent toxins (ama) and emotional overload during the festive season Whether you struggle with cravings, energy dips, or digestive heaviness this time of year, this episode offers grounded, practical support to help you stay balanced through the holidays.
