How do you heal when "healthy living" isn't working? In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, host Sarah Dawkins sits down with Natalie Elghossain, an Ayurvedic health practitioner and founder of Ayurvedic Wellness.Natalie shares her raw and relatable journey of hitting "rock bottom" at age 30. Despite her background as an athlete and an MBA graduate, she found herself trapped in a cycle of chronic anxiety, digestive issues, yeast infections and a "dark night of the soul" while working in high-pressure corporate consulting.Key Information and Time Stamps01:51 Natalie discusses how chronic anxiety and digestive issues surfaced despite an "athletic" and "healthy" lifestyle. Ideal for those seeking holistic burnout recovery.05:04 A deep dive into how gas, bloating, and stomach pain are biologically linked to worry, fear, and paranoia, showing how physical symptoms mirror mental states.12:42 Natalie explains why treating only emotions or only the body felt "incomplete," and why a truly holistic system is required for transformational healing.19:32 An explanation of Agni (Digestive Fire). Learn why you can eat "perfectly" but still feel malnourished if your body isn't metabolizing nutrients at a cellular level.24:12 Natalie debunks the myth that raw salads are always healthy, explaining why warm, cooked foods are essential for grounding an anxious mind.26:26 A surprising link between excessive sleep (over 7 hours), the Kapha (water) element and the physical manifestation of chronic yeast infections. 27:54 A breakthrough look at mental health: Anxiety (Vata/Air) vs. Depression (Kapha/Earth) and how balancing elements can eliminate these "diagnoses."33:44 Natalie shares the core Ayurvedic strategy: assessing your out-of-balance state and using "opposite" elements (e.g., cooling for fire, warming for air) to heal.Natalie's story is a testament to the fact that symptoms are not enemies, they are invitations to return to your true nature. If you are feeling "scattered," "heavy," or "burnt out," this conversation offers a 5,000-year-old roadmap to feeling grounded and energized again.Natalie's Bio Natalie Elghossain is an Ayurvedic Health Practitioner, Speaker, and Founder of Ayurveda Wellness based outside Boulder, Colorado and serving clients globally.

In dieser Podcastfolge nehme ich dich mit in die Welt des Ayurveda und zeige auf, wie unterschiedlich Schulmedizin und Ayurveda auf Gesundheit, Krankheit und Therapie blicken. Während die Schulmedizin in erster Linie Krankheiten diagnostiziert und behandelt, steht im Ayurveda die Frage im Mittelpunkt, warum ein Mensch aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten ist. Statt Symptome isoliert zu betrachten, werden Körper, Geist, Lebensstil, Ernährung, Stressbelastung und individuelle Konstitution in die Therapie einbezogen. In dieser Folge erfährst du: Wie die Schulmedizin und der Ayurveda Gesundheit und Krankheit definieren Warum zwei Menschen mit derselben Diagnose aus ayurvedischer Sicht unterschiedliche Therapien benötigen können Welche Rolle die Doshas Vata, Pitta und Kapha spielen Warum der Ayurveda nach Ursachen sucht, während die Schulmedizin häufig symptomorientiert arbeitet Wie sich Doshastörungen auf Schlaf, Verdauung, Entzündungen, Gewicht, Energie und Wohlbefinden auswirken können Welche therapeutischen Ansätze der Ayurveda nutzt, um den Körper wieder in Balance zu bringen Weshalb ich beide Systeme nicht als Gegensätze, sondern als wertvolle Ergänzung betrachte Mir ist wichtig zu betonen: Es geht nicht um ein Entweder-oder. Die moderne Medizin leistet Großartiges, insbesondere in der Diagnostik, Akutmedizin und Chirurgie. Der Ayurveda wiederum bietet wertvolle Werkzeuge, wenn es darum geht, die Ursachen von Beschwerden zu verstehen, die Selbstregulation des Körpers zu fördern und Gesundheit langfristig zu erhalten. Gerade bei chronischen Beschwerden, stillen Entzündungen, Stressfolgeerkrankungen oder funktionellen Störungen kann die Kombination beider Welten oft besonders wertvoll sein. Ich wünsche dir viele spannende Erkenntnisse beim Zuhören. Deine Annette  

Could your skin be reflecting what's happening in your digestive system? Colette explores the Ayurvedic understanding of the gut-skin connection and why true radiance begins from within with Vaidya Kamya Pillai. While modern research continues to uncover the relationship between the microbiome, inflammation, and skin health, Ayurveda has long taught that healthy digestion, balanced doshas, and proper nourishment are essential for clear, vibrant skin. You'll learn how Agni (digestive fire), Ama (toxic accumulation), Rasa Dhatu (the body's primary nourishing tissue) and Ojas (our vital essence), influence skin health and overall vitality. They also discuss how stress, emotions, and nervous system dysregulation can impact both digestion and complexion, and why Ayurveda views beauty as a reflection of internal balance rather than external appearance alone. In this episode you'll discover: The Ayurvedic gut-skin connection The role of Rasa Dhatu in hydration, nourishment, and radiance How Agni and Ama affect skin health The connection between the doshas, stress, and the nervous system in skin health How Vata, Pitta, and Kapha imbalances manifest in the skin Ojas and it's connection to radiant skin Ayurvedic practices to support healthy digestion and glowing skin Why true beauty begins with inner balance Whether you're dealing with acne, sensitivity, inflammation, dryness, premature aging, or simply want to cultivate a healthy natural glow, this episode offers practical Ayurvedic wisdom to support skin health from the inside out.

What if the key to reducing inflammation, balancing hormones, improving digestion, and restoring your energy wasn't another restrictive diet—but ancient wisdom backed by modern science? In this powerful episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Show, Dr. Anna Cabeca sits down with Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and inflammation expert Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore how chronic inflammation silently impacts everything from brain fog and belly fat to hormone imbalance, sleep struggles, and burnout in midlife women. With a Master's in Ayurvedic Sciences and a PhD focused on turmeric, Dr. Shivani bridges the gap between ancient Ayurvedic practices and functional medicine in a refreshingly practical way. Together, Dr. Anna and Dr. Shivani dive into the daily rituals, spice-based habits, and nervous system practices that can help women feel vibrant again—without perfection or deprivation. In this episode, you'll learn: Why inflammation is often the hidden root cause behind hormone chaos and fatigue The surprising connection between gut health, the estrobolome, and menopause symptoms How turmeric works beyond supplements—and why quality matters What "Mental Inflammation™" is and how stress fuels physical symptoms Simple Ayurvedic micro-habits that help regulate energy, digestion, mood, and sleep How women can personalize wellness through Elemental Design™ instead of one-size-fits-all health advice Dr. Shivani also shares insights from her upcoming book, The Inflammation Code (Hay House, February 2026), and explains why sustainable healing starts with small daily shifts that actually fit real life. If you've been feeling inflamed, exhausted, or disconnected from your body, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, hopeful, and equipped with practical tools to start healing today.   Key Timestamps: 01:09 – Introduction to inflammation and the "devil's pitchfork" Dr. Anna explains the connection between inflammation, adrenal dysfunction, and hormone imbalance. 01:10 – Dr. Shivani's personal health journey Growing up between Houston and India, Dr. Shivani shares how antibiotics, chronic illness, and Ayurvedic remedies shaped her path. 01:14 – What Ayurveda actually is Dr. Shivani breaks down Ayurveda as a 5,000-year-old system of prevention, healing, circadian living, and gut health. 01:18 – Understanding your Ayurvedic "Elemental Design" Learn the three doshas/body types: Vata (air), Pitta (fire), and Kapha (earth/water). 01:25 – Daily detox rituals that lower inflammation Tongue scraping, oil pulling, gut-healing foods, and Ayurvedic self-care practices explained. 01:35 – Why menopause is a "Vata transition" Dr. Shivani explains how dryness, insomnia, anxiety, brain fog, and hormonal shifts align with Vata imbalance. 01:39 – Protein, healthy fats, and women's metabolism in midlife Discussion around vegan diets, insulin resistance, muscle loss, and supporting hormones through nourishment. 01:46 – The science-backed power of turmeric Dr. Shivani shares her PhD research on turmeric's anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, gut-healing, and neuroprotective effects. 01:48 – How to actually absorb turmeric properly Why black pepper and healthy fats matter for turmeric absorption and effectiveness. 01:53 – Turmeric for brain health and Alzheimer's prevention The conversation dives into amyloid plaques, neuroinflammation, and women's increased Alzheimer's risk. 01:54 – Dr. Shivani's book, supplements, and inflammation protocols Final takeaways on The Inflammation Code, Ayurvedic healing tools, and practical daily anti-inflammatory habits.     Memorable Quotes: "Inflammation is the fire underneath so many of the symptoms women are struggling with today." — Shivani Gupta "Healing doesn't have to be extreme to be effective." — Shivani Gupta "Your body is constantly communicating with you through symptoms." — Anna Cabeca "Small daily rituals done consistently are more powerful than perfection." — Shivani Gupta "Women heal best when they feel safe, supported, and connected back to themselves." — Anna Cabeca     Connect With Guest: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.shivanigupta Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/@TheShivaniGupta YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.shivanigupta/videos Website: https://www.shivanigupta.comThe Inflammation Code Book: https://www.theinflammationcode.com Fusionary Formulas: Dr. Shivani's recommended supplement line Use code DRANNA at checkout for 15% off your first order!

Send us Fan MailThere's a moment every late spring where you can feel it — that internal pace starting to pick up with the heat, the to-do list for the garden suddenly feeling urgent, the rollercoaster of summer starting to pull you toward it before you're quite ready. This week's episode is for that moment.In this solo episode, I'm sharing what I've been working with personally as we move through this beautiful, liminal edge between Kapha and Pitta season — and the teachings from yogic philosophy and Ayurveda that have been grounding me.We explore:Sthira — the Sanskrit word for steadiness and rootedness, and how Patanjali's sutra sthira sukham asanam (the seat should be steady and at ease) is an invitation not just for the meditation cushion but for how we move through lifeThe gifts of Kapha dosha — why that stable, slow, grounded energy deserves to be carried forward into summer rather than shed in our rush to lighten upSandhya — the sacred in-between, the twilight of the seasons, and why this transitional moment holds so much more magic and potency than we usually allow ourselves to receiveBorrowing from Kapha — practical ways to fill your well now, before the full heat and activity of Pitta season arrivesDinacharya — how your daily rhythm is naturally shifting right now, and how to let that happen gradually and with intentionThe idea of not releasing things into the world until they're overripe — and how that applies to creative projects, seasons of life, and so much moreThis episode is an invitation to linger a little longer in the in-between. To savor the lushness of what's here before the harvest comes. To trust that things will fruit in their own timing — and that your steadiness is the foundation you'll stand on when summer's rollercoaster arrives.Resources:Free Masterclass:  The Alchemy of the Perimenopause PortalAyurvedic Dosha Quick Reference GuideAbhyanga Self Massage GuideWeekend Nervous System ResetNourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

How to form new habits and break bad ones using the knowledge of our constitution, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Why does our mind resist forming some habits and form others easily? We will learn all that and more. #ayurveda #vediccoaching #narayanaayurveda #habits #breakbadhabits

If emotional eating has ever left you feeling ashamed, out of control, or disconnected from your body — this episode will change the way you see it forever.In this deeply compassionate episode of Up Your Total Glow, we explore the real root of emotional eating through the lens of Ayurveda, nervous system regulation, and emotional nourishment.This conversation is not about willpower, discipline, or “fixing” yourself.

Bastrika, or "bellows breath," increases prana (vital energy), generating heat and vitality in the body. It involves rapid, forceful inhalations and exhalations, improving respiratory function, strengthening respiratory muscles, and expanding lung capacity. This technique enhances mental clarity, focus, and alertness by stimulating the brain and nervous system.Energetically, Bastrika activates Vyana and Samana Vayu, expanding and contracting prana to clear blockages in the energy channels (nadis), particularly around the heart and throat, where emotional blockages like grief and resentment reside. By releasing these, Bastrika promotes love, compassion, clear communication, and creative expression.Bastrika also balances the three doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha). For Pitta, use slower rhythms to avoid aggravating inflammation; for Vata, a slower, steady rhythm helps ground the energy; for Kapha, faster rhythms stimulate energy and motivation. Begin slowly, increasing intensity as you become accustomed to the practice. If dizziness occurs, switch to Ujjayi Pranayama for balance.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

In modern life, we often talk about stress as if it's one single experience. We say "I'm stressed" and assume the solution is the same for everyone, but Ayurveda offers a much more nuanced understanding. From an Ayurvedic perspective, stress is not one-size-fits-all. It expresses itself through the lens of the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and each one creates a very different experience in the body and mind. This is why what works for one person may feel ineffective, or even aggravating for another. In this episode, Colette guides you through the different types of stress according to Ayurveda so you can begin to understand your own patterns and choose support that truly aligns with your needs. In this episode, you'll learn: Why stress is not a one-size-fits-all experience in Ayurveda How stress manifests through Vata, Pitta, and Kapha The key signs and symptoms of each stress type Common lifestyle triggers that aggravate each dosha Why generic self-care routines often don't work Simple, aligned ways to support your body and mind based on your current state Why awareness is the first step in healing and regulation Exciting News: The New Elements of Ayurveda Podcast Community is Live!

Imaginez : une ingénieure informatique en pleine quête de sens qui, en 2016, tombe sur un livre d'Ayurvéda. Ce qui ne devait être qu'une lecture devient un déclic, un voyage initiatique en Inde, et une bascule de vie totale.Ce qui rend l'approche de Sophie unique, c'est ce pont invisible qu'elle a su créer entre cette médecine indienne millénaire et les gestes de sa grand-mère kabyle, qui soignait déjà avec les épices et l'huile d'olive. Elle nous prouve que l'Ayurvéda est bien la "grand-mère de la médecine", une sagesse universelle qui parle à nos racines.Ce que vous allez découvrir dans cet épisode :- Le diagnostic hormonal (dès 35 ans) : Pourquoi il est crucial de comprendre si vous êtes de profil hyperoestrogénique, hypo-oestrogénique ou androgénique.- La danse des Doshas : Comment nos énergies vitales (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) évoluent avec l'âge et comment les équilibrer pour éviter les désagréments de la périménopause.- Le changement de paradigme : Pourquoi notre société obsédée par la performance nous fait vivre la ménopause comme une souffrance, alors qu'elle est une transition naturelle vers une énergie de transmission et de spiritualité.- La boîte à outils naturelle :Conseils pratiques sur les épices thérapeutiques, l'importance vitale du système digestif et la puissance du Pranayama (respiration).Pourquoi écouter cet épisode ?Sophie Benabi nous offre une perspective révolutionnaire sur le corps féminin.

Hey Habit Thrivers ... I can't believe we're at Episode #200!Truly, thank you for being here and sharing this space with me.It feels like such a special milestone, and it also feels like the perfect moment to talk about something we all need this time of year—movement that brings us back to life.In this episode, I'm sharing how we can gently shake off that heavy, sluggish winter energy and start to feel lighter, clearer, and more energized as we move through spring.During Kapha season, it's so normal to feel a little foggy or weighed down, so instead of slow, grounding practices, I'm inviting you to bring in movement that creates warmth, lifts your energy, and gets things flowing again.What does that look like for me right now? More standing yoga, gentle twists, slightly more invigorating breath, getting outside for a brisk walk, and easing back into strength training as we head toward more active days.I'm also sharing one simple practice to anchor your mornings...It's my modified version of Breath of Joy, and it's such a quick, powerful way to shift your mood, wake up your body, and clear out that heaviness.Simple, doable, and exactly what we need to welcome the energy of spring.

Send us Fan MailThis episode is one I've been sitting with for a while — a synthesis of two things that have shaped my whole path: Ayurveda and yoga philosophy.In this episode, I bring those two threads together and look at the yamas and niyamas — yoga's ethical and personal observances — through the lens of kapha season.What we cover:Kapha dosha is made up of earth and water. It's heavy, slow, stable, cool, and moist — and late winter into spring is kapha season. When kapha goes out of balance, we might notice lethargy, mental fog, resistance to change, a tendency to oversleep or overeat, or that feeling of comfortable-but-stuck stagnation. The medicine for kapha is warmth, stimulation, movement, and letting go — and the yamas and niyamas offer a beautiful map for exactly that.I give a brief grounding in the eight limbs of yoga and what the yamas and niyamas actually are — not as a rulebook, but as living, breathing invitations to notice and redirect with curiosity rather than criticism.Then we explore six practices through the lens of kapha season:The Yamas — how we relate to the world:Aparigraha (non-grasping) — where are you clinging, and what wants to be released as spring arrives?Satya (truthfulness) — using honest, clear seeing to notice where we've gotten comfortable in stagnation — without judgmentBrahmacharya (right use of energy) — not about deprivation, but about noticing where energy is leaking and asking: is this giving me life or pulling me deeper into heaviness?The Niyamas — how we relate to ourselves:Tapas (inner fire) — the gentle, consistent showing up; kindling the fire rather than forcing itSaucha (purity/cleanliness) — clearing physical clutter, mental tabs, and anything that's accumulating and pulling on your energySvadhyaya (self-study) — observing your own kapha patterns without judgment and seeking what genuinely inspires youI also talk about my own evolving relationship with tapas — how it looked very different in my pitta-dominant twenties than it does now in midlife, and why the middle path is the one I keep returning to.My invitation for you this week: pick one of these six practices, sit with the questions it offers, and let it be a gentle lens for seeing your life more clearly — without judgment, without pressure, just with curiosity.Free download: Grab the one-page guide to all six practices — with reflection questions for each — in the link below.

Healing after betrayal is not just emotional: it is deeply physiological and spiritual. In this episode, we explore how to rebuild trust in yourself and others after heartbreak.Whether you've experienced dishonesty in a relationship, broken trust in friendship, or a deep sense of abandonment, your nervous system holds the imprint. Ayurveda teaches us that betrayal can aggravate Vata (creating anxiety and hypervigilance), inflame Pitta (leading to anger, resentment, and judgment), or deepen Kapha imbalances (resulting in bottled up energy, attachment, heaviness, and difficulty letting go).In this conversation, we gently unpack how to stay open without becoming susceptible to energy drainers, how to relearn self-trust after your inner voice was overridden, and how to navigate emotional healing through an Ayurvedic lens.This episode is for anyone on a healing journey who desires to love again without closing their heart, abandoning themselves, or repeating old patterns. Through Ayurvedic psychology, nervous system awareness, and spiritual insight, we explore what it truly means to trust again- from the inside out.If you are ready to transform pain into wisdom, and willing to alchemize betrayal into deeper alignment, this episode will help guide you home. Send us Fan MailFor 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

As we move through a seasonal shift, Episode #198 of the Habit Thrive Podcast explores how Ayurveda can support us in embracing change with more ease and awareness.A sister science to yoga, Ayurveda has long been part of my wellness toolbox, and this time of year is when it becomes especially helpful.In early spring — especially in places like Northern Ontario where winter can linger — we may feel caught between seasons.Ayurveda explains this through Kapha energy (earth and water), which can leave us feeling heavy, sluggish, congested, or low in motivation.Instead of asking “What's wrong with me?”, this framework helps us understand what's happening and respond with more compassion.As the season shifts, we can make our own transition by adding more greens, shifting toward lighter meals, and supporting the body with hydration and warm teas.But this isn't about overhauling your habits: It's about small, sustainable shifts within your existing routines — like choosing a lighter afternoon tea or simply noticing how certain foods feel in your body.This episode also marks the start of our “Ayurvedic April” series, where we'll explore simple, doable ways to bring Ayurveda into your daily life. As always, the invitation is to start where you are, stay curious, and notice where you might be ready to lighten up.Loving the show? Let's connect!

If you've ever felt like your body turned against you somewhere in your 40s or 50s and no one had real answers... this episode is for you.I sat down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, PhD, Ayurvedic practitioner, founder of Fusionary Formulas, and author of The Inflammation Code (Hay House) for one of the most illuminating conversations we have had on Fire and Soul. We went deep on what is really happening in midlife, why inflammation is the root of so much of what we are experiencing, and how a 5,000 year old system of wisdom is giving us answers that modern medicine is just now catching up to.Dr. Shivani grew up in Houston, spent her childhood sick and cycling through antibiotics, and eventually made her way to Ayurvedic healing centers across India in search of answers. What she found changed everything, and now she has dedicated her life to bringing that wisdom to the West in a way that is accessible, practical, and deeply grounding.This conversation will meet you exactly where you are.In this episode we cover:What inflammation actually is (acute vs. chronic) and why most of us are walking around with a low grade forest fire burning underneath the surfaceThe term Dr. Shivani coined that stopped me in my tracks: mental inflammation, and why no amount of green juice will save you if you are not addressing this piece firstThe three Elemental Design types from Ayurveda (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and how knowing yours changes everything from what you eat to how you exercise to why hot yoga might actually be working against youWhy Pitta women in menopause need to stop choosing the hottest, hardest, most intense option and what cooling actually looks like in practiceThe gut microbiome and why the antibiotics so many of us took as kids may have set the stage for what we are experiencing now in midlifeHow circadian rhythm, copper tongue scraping, super spices, and a simple cup of tea can become the foundation of a sustainable resetThe 14 day Inflammation Reset inside the book and where to start for free if you are not ready to dive in all the wayHow Human Design, Gene Keys, Vedic astrology, and Ayurveda can layer together into a dashboard of self understanding unlike anything else available to us right nowAnd the reminder that moved me most: we are sovereign in our health. We have always had more power than we were told.If this episode finds you in the thick of it, know this: what you are experiencing is real. It has a name. It has roots. And there is a path through it that does not require you to suffer in silence or white knuckle your way to the other side.This is exactly the kind of conversation Fire and Soul exists for.Resources Mentioned:The Inflammation Code by Dr. Shivani Gupta >> drshivani.comElemental Design Quiz (discover your Ayurvedic constitution) >> drshivani.comFree 7 Day Inflammation Detox >> 7dayinflammationdetox.comGet Quiet by Elaine Glass (Hay House) >> https://elaineglass.com/bookConnect with Dr. Shivani Gupta:Website >> drshivani.comInstagram >> https://www.instagram.com/dr.shivaniguptaLoved this episode?Screenshot it, share it to your stories, and tag me and Dr. Shivani.

Have you ever felt tired… but something about it didn't feel like true fatigue? In this episode, Colette explores the subtle but important difference between Kapha accumulation and true fatigue, and how easily the two can be confused. What feels like low energy may actually be heaviness, stagnation, and mental fog, which are signs that the body is asking for movement and stimulation, not more rest. Colette shares a recent personal experience of waking up feeling heavy, slow, and mentally foggy, not depleted, but stuck. Through her Ayurvedic lens she understood that these qualities were not in fact fatigue but a Kapha accumulation. Understanding this distinction prevented her from unintentionally moving further out of balance. She shares how to recognize these qualities in your body and how to respond in a way that restores balance. This episode is about tuning inwards and taking note of the qualities you feel in your body, being curious and building a deeper relationship with your body's inner intelligence. In this episode Colette discusses: The difference between Kapha imbalance and true fatigue Why "feeling tired" isn't always about needing more rest Common signs of Kapha accumulation (heaviness, fog, low motivation) How Kapha shows up in the mind as inertia and lack of clarity The concept of manda (slowness/dullness) in Ayurveda Why misinterpreting symptoms can lead to deeper imbalance Simple ways to support Kapha to restore balance The importance of awareness before taking action Why this is especially relevant during the spring season Episode Sponsor: Kerala Ayurveda Academy's India Immersion is a 14-day immersive experience guided by renowned Ayurvedic doctor Vaidya Jayarajan Kodikannath.

This episode begins a new rhythm inside Soft Alchemy: seasonal energy resets. Think of them as collective resets we'll return to throughout the year at the edge of each new season. They're moments to pause, take stock, and gently ask ourselves what the season is asking of us.Today we're talking about spring and why this time of year can feel confusing before it feels clarifying. We also explore the larger energetic context we're moving through right now—the Year of the Fire Horse and a Universal 1 year in numerology—and why this season is less about dramatic reinvention and more about small, honest commitments.In this episode, we explore:why spring can feel disorienting before it feels energizingthe Ayurvedic idea of “the melt” and how Kapha season moves through the bodywhy sensitive people often feel collective moments so intenselythe Year of the Fire Horse and the seed energy of a Universal 1 yearwhat it looks like to cultivate a sustainable fire instead of burning yourself outthe practice of moving honestly instead of quicklyA few reflections to carry with youWhat part of you is ready to reawaken? Where are you still thawing? What wants more space in your life right now? Where in your body do you feel expansion — even if it's subtle? And where do you feel contraction?Spring shows up in small shifts: a cracked window, a spoken truth, a single steady decision.This week, your practice is simple: reflect on these questions. Perhaps you journal about them. Then, choose one thing to complete, or one thing to finally let go of.Additional practice suggestionsDeclutter one small space and notice how your breath changes as you clear. In Ayurveda, clearing physical space helps move stagnant Kapha.Move your body for ten minutes to activate circulation. Gentle movement stirs prana, your life force, so what's been heavy can begin to shift.Drink something warm when you wake up. Warm water, lemon water, tea. Warmth first thing gently kindles agni, your inner fire.Let one thing remain unfinished this week, on purpose. Completion is sacred, but so is restraint. Sometimes leaving something open is how we remind ourselves that not everything has to be done right now. It's also how we push back against the idea that rest has to be "earned."MusicMad Keys — “Tea & Lemonade”MULVEY — "Awakening"Continue the journeyWork with me / explore offerings:srlwellbeing.comWatch the podcast on YouTube:youtube.com/@softalchemyspaceFollow along on Instagram@softalchemyspace @srlwellbeing @iamsteviereneeAbout this spaceSoft Alchemy is the evolution of my earlier work, In Case Nobody Told You.

Send us Fan MailI get this question all the time from clients and listeners: what do I eat for breakfast? So in this episode, I'm finally diving in.I'll start with my own story — because I was not always a breakfast person. It took a bowl of miso soup at Kripalu in my twenties to crack open my idea of what breakfast could even be. And once I realized I could eat anything for breakfast — soup, roasted vegetables, leftover dinner — everything changed.From there we get into the science, because the research around breakfast and cortisol is genuinely fascinating and validates so much of what Ayurveda has been saying for thousands of years. Then we look at breakfast through the Ayurvedic lens — what agni needs in the morning, how to eat for your dosha, and how to shift your breakfast with the seasons.This episode is a permission slip to ditch the breakfast rules and start listening to what your body actually needs.In this episode:My personal journey from breakfast-skipper to born-again breakfast eaterThe miso soup moment at Kripalu that changed everythingWhat the research says about cortisol, blood sugar, and skipping breakfastThe UC Davis study on breakfast skippers and elevated cortisolA nuanced take on intermittent fasting and how to do it in a way that's easier on your nervous systemAgni and the Ayurvedic philosophy of the morning mealBreakfast for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshasSeasonal breakfast wisdom — what to eat in fall, winter, spring, and summerWhy savory oatmeal is underrated (and delicious)Practical tips for making nourishing breakfasts sustainable and doableThis week's small step: one simple question to ask before you reach for your coffeeResources mentioned:Dosha episodes: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha deep dives Free Dosha Reference Chart Witbracht et al.

Cravings are often misunderstood as a lack of willpower. But Ayurveda sees cravings as powerful messages from the body connected to digestion, nervous system balance, and emotional well-being.In this episode you'll learn:• how digestive fire (Agni) influences cravings • why stress and overwhelm increase food cravings • the difference between energy cravings, nervous system cravings, and emotional cravings • how Vata, Pitta, and Kapha influence the foods we crave • simple ways to stabilise digestion and reduce cravings naturallyIf you've ever wondered why your body suddenly wants sugar, salty snacks, or comfort foods, this episode will help you understand what your body may really be asking for.If you'd like personalised support with digestion, Ayurvedic nutrition, and restoring balance, you can book a free 15-minute connection call here:https://tidycal.com/ithrive/connection-call

You wake up with a flat stomach… but by the end of the day, you feel bloated, uncomfortable, and wondering what went wrong.If you've tried eliminating foods, taking probiotics, or “eating clean” and the bloating still shows up, your body may be sending you a deeper signal.In this solo episode of The Inflammation Code Podcast, Dr. Shivani Gupta explores why bloating is often one of the earliest warning signs of gut inflammation and how digestive imbalance can quietly affect your energy, hormones, mood, and immune system.Blending Ayurvedic wisdom with modern gut science, she explains why so many women over 35 experience bloating alongside fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and hormone shifts and why addressing the root cause of gut dysfunction can transform your entire health.Rather than chasing symptoms, this episode helps you understand what your body is actually communicating through bloating and how to begin restoring digestive balance.In This Episode, You'll Learn• Why bloating is often the first visible sign of gut inflammation, not just a reaction to food• How 70% of your immune system lives in your gut and why that matters for chronic inflammation• The Ayurvedic concept of Agni (digestive fire) and how weak digestion leads to toxin buildup (Ama)• How chronic stress, blood sugar instability, and microbiome imbalance silently damage the gut lining• The key differences between Vata, Pitta, and Kapha bloating patterns and why your constitution matters• Simple Ayurvedic daily practices that help reduce bloating and support healthy digestion• Why probiotics alone often don't work and what your gut actually needs to healMany women spend years believing their digestion is broken or that their symptoms are random.But your body is incredibly intelligent.When you understand the deeper connection between your gut, inflammation, stress, and daily rhythms, healing becomes simpler — and much more empowering.Your bloating isn't just a digestive inconvenience.It's a message from your body asking you to listen.Links + Resources Mentioned• Learn more about The Inflammation Codehttps://theinflammationcode.com• Take the Dosha Quizhttps://shivanigupta.com• This episode is sponsored by Fusionary Formulas — Ayurvedic supplements designed to reduce inflammation, support sleep, and restore balance.Shop at: https://fusionaryformulas.comUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first order.

Click here to send me a quick message :) Wait, what? The moon affects your hormones? Well, kinda. It can at least.In this week's episode I share both about how this works from a physiologic lens (yes there is actual reasons this can happen), but also how our bodies - so full of water - are obviously also impacted by the moon.Is the tides of the ocean can be pulled, why wouldn't the waters of our bodies as well? We are not separate from these cycles, and the more we attune to them, the more we can embrace the absolute magic that exists -- even in times that are as profoundly disturbing as the ones we are in.I also share about the qualities of the moon, and how that can relate to herbs from a bit of an astrological herbalism lens. This is not how I typically practice, but it's an area of interest for me, and one of the many ways we can understand energetics of plants. I also speak a bit to how the qualities of the moon reflect some of the qualities of this transitional time that is entering into Kapha season. And some herbal allies that may be supportive for you to counteract some of the allergies, congestion, dullness, heaviness or stagnation you might be experiencing as we gradually shift from Winter into Spring.Resources:Free guide: Gardening for Your Menstrual HealthToday's shownotes: Moon, hormones, lunar plants, Kapha seasonEpisode 83: What is astro-herbalism?

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 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.

Send a textWinter is long. And right now, we're in this unique in-between place: the light is slowly returning, but we still have weeks (or months) of cold, heavy weather ahead.If you're feeling the weight of winter, you're not alone. And more importantly, you're not supposed to be producing at summer's pace right now.In this conversation, I sit down with Brett Aldrich—breathwork practitioner, Ayurveda counselor, and founder of Seed the Spirit—to talk about what's actually happening in our bodies during winter, why seasonal affective disorder is real (but also misunderstood), and how to work with the season instead of against it.Brett shares her own journey from social work burnout to discovering Ayurveda on a little note card in a shop—and how that small piece of wisdom changed everything. We explore the rhythm of winter, the pressure to keep producing when nature is asking us to rest, and why breathwork became the "missing puzzle piece" in her healing journey.This episode is for anyone who's struggling right now—whether that's with seasonal depression, exhaustion, or simply the cultural pressure to keep going when your body is asking you to slow down.What You'll Learn in This Episode:What's actually happening in your body during winter from an Ayurvedic perspective (and why it's natural to feel heavier, slower, more inward)Why late February/early March is uniquely challenging—we're moving from Vata (cold, mobile, erratic) into Kapha season (heavy, wet, earthy), and that transition can feel intenseThe truth about seasonal affective disorder—how to discern between the natural slowness winter asks for vs. when you need more supportWhy the pressure to keep producing is working against you—and what would happen if we actually honored our natural rhythmsHow breathwork works as medicine—the difference between controlled yogic breath and cyclical breathwork for releasing what you can't put words toBrett's journey from burnout to Ayurveda—stumbling into a practice that finally made sense, and how small shifts created big changeThe power of going with your natural flow—why honoring your constitution and the seasons is actually rebellious in our cultureSimple, doable practices for winter wellness—no expensive supplements or complicated protocols, just wisdom you can use todayWhen to reach out for professional help—and why there's no shame in thatKey Themes:This episode is about permission—permission to slow down, to honor winter's natural rhythm, to be gentler with yourself.

Dr. Shivani Gupta comes from a family of people with diabetes, generation by generation, where she's seen the after-effects of suffering with chronic metabolic disease.  Her new book, The Inflammation Code (launching, distills 20 years of studying Ayurveda into simple pillars you can apply to prevent the level of inflammation and disease we see today. When people tell her, "I have brain fog, I'm tired, my sleep is off, my digestion's off, I have stubborn weight gain…I guess this is just aging," her reply is, "No, it's not aging, it's inflammaging." We had a really excellent, in-depth conversation that covered a lot of ground, from black pepper and the blood-brain-barrier to our detox experiences in India. I hope you enjoy the podcast! In this podcast, Dr. Gupta and I discuss: Her study of Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system from India that taught us the circadian clock, modern science discovered what Ayurveda taught 5,000 years ago about living in rhythm with nature The three doshas or constitutions of Vata (air/ether), Pitta (fire/water), and Kapha (earth/water)—understanding your constitution helps customize your self-care practices and diet The circadian clock in Ayurveda teaches that 10:00 to 2:00 PM is Pitta (fire) time, when you're most focused and energetic, and meant to eat your biggest meal 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM is the most important time to be asleep, when Pitta fire cleans and clears inflammation, the lymphatic system, and the glymphatic system (lymphatic system of the brain) Vata people are always in motion and prefer jobs where they don't sit still—they're endurance athletes who can run through the day on coffee, green juice, and crackers (but their homework is three square meals) Pitta people are fiery, passionate leaders who tend to crave hot, oily, spicy fried food…but that's the one thing they shouldn't eat because their digestive fire is already like a bonfire! Kapha people are sturdy, strong, and very grounded, but can struggle with sluggish metabolism, low mood or depression, getting stuck, or not wanting to create change Black pepper increases curcumin absorption by 2,000%—scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered this, which is why traditional Indian cooking always uses turmeric with black pepper What it feels like to experience a Panchakarma detox in India: "massage that feels like abuse" with paper thongs—Dr. Gupta says, "I can't believe you're allowed to do this to me and I'm paying for it" (both she and I had this experience!) Mental inflammation is the stress we create when forcing ourselves to be healthy; if you force workouts, force protein, force intermittent fasting, the stress alone causes the inflammation you're trying to prevent

Do you know whether you're Vata, Pitta, or Kapha...and could that explain your stubborn symptoms in midlife? In this episode, I'm joined by my brilliant friend Dr. Shivani Gupta, and we dive into Ayurveda, inflammation, and why your body might be asking for a completely different approach right now. Have you ever wondered why turmeric seems to work like magic for pain, migraines, or inflammation? Or why the same routines that used to work suddenly don't anymore in perimenopause? We unpack how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom meets modern science—and why that combination matters so much for women over 40. We also go beyond supplements and symptoms into the deeper shifts of midlife. Is menopause actually an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and redesign your life? What if your fatigue, brain fog, or weight gain isn't failure, but feedback? This conversation might completely change how you see this season! In this episode, we uncover: How your elemental design influences inflammation, energy, and hormone balance. Why curcumin works so powerfully—and what most supplements get wrong. What Ayurveda says about perimenopause as a physical and spiritual transition. How simple daily rituals can replace willpower and finally stick. Why mental and emotional inflammation matter as much as hormones. If you're ready to rethink menopause and feel more at home in your body, this episode is for you.

Today is a celebration—The Inflammation Code is officially out. In this special “flip-the-script” episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta's mentor and friend Kiran Krishnan interviews her about the book, the science behind turmeric and inflammation, and the deeper Ayurvedic framework that makes healing feel personal and doable. Together they explore elemental design (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), the role of circadian rhythm, why stress creates mental inflammation, and how small daily choices build real resilience over time.Key TakeawaysTurmeric can be powerful, but form + absorption + lifestyle context matter.Your healing plan isn't one-size-fits-all—your elemental design changes how you eat, rest, and recover.Circadian rhythm isn't a trend—alignment with nature supports repair and inflammation clearance.Chronic stress can become “mental inflammation,” lowering resilience and disrupting gut/immune balance.The goal isn't perfection—it's rhythm, consistency, and safety in the body.Links & Resources MentionedLearn more about the book: www.theinflammationcode.comDr. Shivani Gupta: www.shivanigupta.comFollow Kiran Krishnan on IG: @KiranBioMe Gentle Listener InvitationIf you're someone who's tried “everything” and still feels inflamed or stuck, this episode is an invitation to come back to the basics—through a personalized lens.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Are you optimizing your diet and gym time but still feeling wired and foggy? Could the hidden culprit be mental inflammation shortening your health span without you even knowing it?   I talked with Dr. Shivani Gupta about mental inflammation. This stress keeps the nervous system in fight or flight. It ruins digestion, sleep, and clarity. We discussed her book, The Inflammation Code. She explains how Ayurvedic medicine offers solutions through rituals and breath work. We cover elemental design and the body types: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Dr. Gupta shares why news and social media inflame the mind. She provides tools like tea time and decompression points to build resilience. We explore the power of spices like turmeric for healing. Her approach focuses on physiology to change how the body manages stress and productivity for longevity.   Key Takeaways Mental inflammation is chronic emotional stress that creates low-grade inflammation and depletes your vitality, or OJUS. Self-care rituals like setting daily intentions and practicing breath work create a reservoir of peace. "Tea time is me time" acts as a physical trigger to shift the body into the parasympathetic nervous system for rest and digestion. Aligning with your circadian rhythm is essential; sleeping from 10 PM to 2 AM is the most important window for clearing inflammation. Elemental design identifies your specific body template (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) to inform how you should manage your diet and energy. Consuming news and social media triggers a fear-based fight or flight state, contributing significantly to mental inflammation. For therapeutic benefits, use high volumes of spices (teaspoons, not sprinkles) like turmeric, ginger, and cumin in your cooking. When feeling sick, use the Kitchari protocol—a simple porridge that allows the gut to rest so the body can focus on healing.   Resources Dr. Shivani Gupta's Book: The Inflammation Code https://www.theinflammationcode.com/   Elemental Design Quiz: https://shivanigreenliving.clickfunnels.com/quiz   Dr. Shivani Gupta's Website: https://shivanigupta.com   Fusionary Formulas Website: https://fusionaryformulas.com Use the code GETLEANER for 15% Off   Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients.

If you're a health-focused entrepreneur who hustles hard but feels inflamed, exhausted, wired-but-tired, or out of rhythm with your body, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore how chronic stress, circadian rhythm disruption, and nervous system overload are quietly driving inflammation, burnout, gut issues, hormone imbalance, and immune dysfunction—especially in high-achieving women. We talk about Ayurveda as a practical, modern lifestyle framework, not a trend, and how understanding your elemental design (dosha) can help you work with your biology instead of constantly fighting it. This episode is a grounding reminder that you can still be ambitious—and healthy—at the same time. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Why Stress Creates Inflammation (Even If You Eat "Healthy") Chronic mental and emotional stress keeps the nervous system locked in fight-or-flight, which directly fuels physical inflammation and chronic disease. We talk about why you can't live in hustle mode 24/7 without eventually draining your reserves—and how burnout is often the body's last signal to slow down. 2. Circadian Rhythm and Seasonal Hustle Not every season of life is meant for full throttle. We discuss how circadian rhythm and elemental design teach us when to push—and when to rest—so we don't burn out the very bodies we rely on to build our businesses. 3. Ayurveda 101: Understanding Your Elemental Design Dr. Shivani breaks down the three Ayurvedic constitutions in a modern, relatable way: Vata (air + ether): creative, fast-moving, prone to anxiety, dryness, insomnia Pitta (fire + water): driven, focused, prone to irritability, inflammation, overheating Kapha (earth + water): steady, nurturing, prone to sluggish metabolism, stagnation Knowing your type helps you eat, work, rest, and self-regulate more effectively—especially as an entrepreneur. 4. Food as Grounding, Not Restriction We talk about why: Vata types often need more carbs and healthy fats, not less Pitta types need cooling foods to calm inflammation Kapha types thrive with movement and warm, easy-to-digest meals This conversation reframes food as nourishment and regulation—not control. 5. Perimenopause, Menopause & Hormonal Shifts We dive into how Ayurveda supports women through hormone changes by focusing on: Sleep quality Gut health Stress regulation Circadian rhythm alignment Herbal and lifestyle support Rather than fearing these transitions, we talk about how to move through them with more resilience and self-trust.

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.
