Dr. Vignesh Devraj explores the Ayurvedic approach to understanding Kapha dosha imbalance through modern biomarkers like cholesterol, insulin resistance, and immune markers. He explains how to differentiate ojas (healthy kapha) from ama (toxic kapha), and the impact of high kapha on issues like weight gain, fatigue, allergies, and depression. You'll also learn powerful lifestyle tips to bring kapha back into balance using diet, exercise, sweating, and Ayurvedic detox therapies like Nasyam and Panchakarma.For a free abstract of this episode, visit vigneshdevraj.comEpisode HighlightsWhat is Kapha?

On Sunday, July 13th, Saturn begins its retrograde in Pisces, initiating a four-month cycle of profound introspection and necessary change.In this episode of the Quietmind Astrology Podcast, I talk about what this means for you—not just in theory, but in the very real choices you're making every day. This is the kind of transit that pulls your attention to what really matters: your energy, your responsibilities, your boundaries, and the structures that either support or sabotage your growth.Saturn is the furthest planet we can see with the naked eye, and it's always been symbolic of the outer limits—what we can hold, what we can commit to. It's the energy of the ring, the container, the sacred ‘yes.' Pisces, on the other hand, has no container. It's boundless, formless, deeply spiritual and often confusing. So what happens when these two meet? What happens when Saturn goes retrograde in this ocean of potential?We start to re-evaluate everything.This is a time to review, revise, and realign with your vision. We're talking about a collective and personal upgrade—but you can't skip steps. You have to go back over old lessons and outdated roles. As I said in the episode, “You may be needing to revisit some old lessons. You may need to replay them so you can spiral up and out of them.”Five key ideas I shared in this episode:— “We're starting a new four-month chapter about maturing.”— “Saturn in Pisces asks us to break through perceived ceilings and restructure how we live and work.”— “This is a time to revisit your daily foundations: sleep, movement, food, water, nature.”— “Confusion isn't a problem—it just means the path hasn't become clear yet.”— “Synchronicities are a signal: if the path feels uphill, maybe it's not your path.”This cycle (from July 13 to November 28) moves through Uttara Bhadrapada and Purva Bhadrapada, both symbolized by the funeral cot. It's time to release what's dead and done. This is about necessary endings—not out of punishment, but to create space for something new and more aligned.Jupiter in Gemini during this time adds mental stimulation and opportunity, but also overwhelm and confusion. I talk about how this can show up as overthinking, overdoing, and burnout—classic signs of Vata imbalance. And I give practical ways to balance it, like eating grounding foods, limiting inputs, and spending more time in nature.In this episode, I guide you through:— How to assess your current structures and commitments— Why your foundational habits matter more than ever— What kind of resistance and fear might show up (and how to move through it)— How to align with divine timing and synchronicities— Why being confused is actually part of the path to clarityAs I said, “Clarity often starts with a date in the future.” From there, you can work backward to build the structure that supports your vision. Whether you're a go-with-the-flow Pisces type or a Virgo like me who loves structure, this episode will help you find your path within the chaos.You'll also hear why kundalini energy and the serpent of the depths are powerful guides right now. Saturn in this part of the sky wants us to be stealthy, patient, and precise with our energy.This retrograde isn't about rushing. It's about realignment.If this episode resonates, please leave a review, share it with a friend, and check out the links below to go deeper with me.⸻Free Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/fr...Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/fr...Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   / quietmindastrology  Decode Your Birth Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/1011:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/re...Mentorship: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/me...Quietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga

Alex Greene speaks with Bonnie Pariser, a TRE provider and yoga therapist who runs Yoga Loca studio in Frenchtown, New Jersey. Bonnie shares how she transformed her yoga therapy practice by integrating TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) with traditional yoga approaches. Her unique journey from fashion design to embodiment work led her to discover that tremoring can dramatically improve outcomes for clients with chronic tension, anxiety, and trauma.Bonnie explains how tremoring prepares the nervous system for yoga practices, especially for clients who are too activated to benefit from conventional stretching or meditation. She uses the Ayurvedic dosha framework to understand different nervous system states: vata (anxiety/bracing), pitta (hypervigilance), and kapha (shutdown). This approach works with the body's natural healing mechanisms rather than against them.The conversation covers practical applications including emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and spiritual practice preparation. Bonnie shares examples from her classes and one-on-one sessions, showing how clients move from seeking physical relief to developing life management skills. Her integration of ancient wisdom with modern trauma approaches demonstrates how nervous system regulation can transform both therapy outcomes and daily life.Listen to the full episode to discover how this powerful combination of TRE and yoga can transform your approach to nervous system regulation and embodiment practices.Key Highlights:0:00 Introduction 1:49 Fashion to Embodiment 4:19 TRE Training Discovery 6:06 Yoga Sutras Connection 7:06 Kumbhaka Breathless State 12:09 Integration with Classes 17:05 Emotional Regulation Practice 18:44 Conflict Resolution Applications 26:51 Ayurvedic Dosha Perspective 27:20 Vata Derangement Treatment 30:53 One-on-One Applications 35:52 Personal Practice Evolution 37:17 Tandava Dance Connection 41:08 Kriya Spontaneous Movements 50:58 Myofascial Release Integration 52:50 Future Learning DirectionsLinks and Resources: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YogaLokaNJ/ Websites: https://www.yoga-loka.com/     http://www.yoga-therapy-can-help.me/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yoga_loka/ David Berceli - TRE founder and trainer: https://treglobal.org/about-dr-david-berceli/ Mukunda Stiles - Structural Yoga Therapy: http://www.innerquestyoga.com/aboutmukunda.html Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: https://iep.utm.edu/yoga/ Swami Muktananda - Kriya yoga teacher: https://www.siddhayoga.org/baba-muktananda/ John F.

In this episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj guides us through the deeply restorative practice of Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep. In a world where restlessness has become the norm and true relaxation feels out of reach, Yoga Nidra offers a powerful antidote.Dr. Vignesh gently leads you into this ancient practice of conscious rest, allowing the body to enter a profound state of relaxation while the mind remains quietly aware, tapping into the healing potential of the space between wakefulness and sleep. You'll experience how Yoga Nidra recalibrates the nervous system, accesses the subconscious, and promotes deep emotional and physical restoration.If you are interested in doing one on one Ayurvedic consultation with Dr Vignesh Devraj, please find the details in this link: https://calendly.com/drvignesh/30-minute-session-with-dr-vignesh-devraj-md-ay-istIf you are economically challenged, please use the form provided to request a free Ayurvedic consultation here.

A PhD researcher in turmeric and founder of Fusionary Formulas, Dr. Gupta shares how these ancient botanicals—like turmeric, ginger, cumin, ashwagandha, brahmi, and more—can transform your energy, brain, gut, metabolism, and stress response.She dives deep into the science and tradition behind Ayurvedic staples, explains how she uses them in her own life and supplement line, and reveals why “feeling older” isn't aging—it's inflammation. From her masala dabba spice box to clinical studies and lifestyle rituals, she offers you a roadmap to vibrant health, rooted in ancient wisdom and backed by modern research.

Picture this, Habit Thrivers:It's Saturday morning, spring is in the air, and the spring cleaning bug has bitten.With a look of determination and a handful of trash bags, you open the spare bedroom/garage/closet, put your hands on your hips, and say:Look at all of this crap...You've been there, right?I sure have.Today, on Episode #151 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are discussing how to use an Ayurvedic perspective to eliminate decluttering shame and really embrace who we really are.No matter if you are a Vata, Pitta or Kapha woman, we all have our strengths and weaknesses - and it's no different when it comes to dealing with the clutter in our lives.The Vata woman feels overwhelmed by clutter. She starts in one place, gets distracted by another project or a memory, and ends up with a handful of unfinished piles.The Pitta woman hates clutter. She's irritated by it (and anyone who gets in her spring-cleaning way). She is so focused and determined on decluttering that she dismisses and misses out on other opportunities while she dives into her decluttering mission.The Kapha woman feels an emotional pull to her clutter. She has a hard time letting things go, because her emotions are tied to those objects. She may take one look at the messy drawer or closet and be instantly stuck.But, while understanding our Dosha helps us understand what keeps us stuck on clutter, it can also help us move past our limitations, embrace who we are and make new progress.So join me today, and find out what decluttering approaches speak directly to the woman you already are.Love,Lorrie xoxoxMentioned in this episode:Take the Banyan Botanicals Dosha QuizLoving the show?

"Sometimes life directs you somewhere you didn't plan on going, and you realize everything happens for a reason." - Dr. Trupti Gokani I was absolutely fascinated by my conversation with Dr. Trupti Gokani, an award-winning neurologist who has brilliantly bridged Western medicine with ancient Ayurvedic wisdom. Her journey began during her first year of medical school when debilitating insomnia led her to discover Ayurveda after conventional medicine failed her. What's remarkable is how she's developed a three-brain optimization approach (head, gut, and microbiome) that addresses the root causes of chronic conditions instead of just managing symptoms. We explored the three Ayurvedic body types—Vata (air/space), Pitta (fire/water), and Kapha (earth/water)—and how understanding your unique constitution can transform your approach to diet, stress, and health challenges. This conversation offers powerful insights for women feeling disconnected from their bodies or struggling with stress-related conditions like migraines, digestive issues, or autoimmune disorders.   What you'll learn: How Dr. Gokani discovered Ayurvedic medicine after conventional approaches failed to help her insomnia The three Ayurvedic body types (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and how to identify yours Why understanding your constitution is foundational to personalized health How chronic stress manifests differently based on your body type The connection between gut health, emotions, and neurological symptoms Simple Ayurvedic techniques that can complement modern medical treatments How choosing the right foods for your type can significantly improve symptoms Love the Podcast?

Ayurveda identifies Acid reflux disease as Amlapitta. It is a disease of the Annavaha Srotas (gastrointestinal system) that has been documented in numerous Ayurvedic scriptures. It is one of the most common diseases in today's society and is caused due to the Excessive intake of spicy, sour, pungent, oily, and junk food items. Therefore, a balance between Vata, Pitta, and Kapha Doshas is essential to keep the Gut free from any kind of disharmony in digesting the food.

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

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

Addiction, from an Ayurvedic lens, is more than just a physical dependence—it's a deep imbalance in the body, mind, and spirit. It often arises from a disconnect from one's true self (Prakriti) and an accumulation of toxins (Ama), whether physical, emotional, or energetic. Many turn to substances in an attempt to soothe inner suffering, regulate emotions, or fill a void left by trauma or unresolved pain.    •    Vata imbalances can manifest as anxiety, restlessness, and a pervasive sense of emptiness, driving the urge to escape through addiction.    •    Pitta imbalances fuel intense cravings, impulsivity, and self-destructive tendencies.    •    Kapha imbalances create stagnation, attachment, and emotional heaviness, making it harder to break free from addictive cycles.Substance use depletes Ojas (vital essence) and Prana (life force energy), but Ayurveda offers a path to rebuild through nourishment, breathwork, meditation, and detoxification practices like Panchakarma and Rasayana (rejuvenation therapy). By restoring balance through daily routines (Dinacharya) and sattvic living, we cultivate clarity, resilience, and self-awareness—key elements in long-term healing.Today, we're honored to sit down with Rob Loud, a yoga teacher whose journey through drug and alcohol addiction led him to a path of deep transformation. Rob describes his teaching style as embodied vinyasa, drawing wisdom from multiple yogic lineages. His passion for yoga is evident—not just in his classes, which are creative, intelligent, and dynamic—but in the way he lives his practice.In this conversation, Rob opens up about his early struggles with addiction, the trauma that shaped him, and how rewiring his nervous system through yoga became the foundation of his recovery. We discuss how yoga not only supports sobriety but also helps navigate both daily stressors and the deeper emotional wounds that addiction often masks.This is a raw, vulnerable conversation—one that invites us all into a deeper intimacy with ourselves, our inner child, and the universal thread that unites us: compassion for the suffering we all experience as human beings.Rob, thank you for your wisdom, your presence, and the light you bring to your students, on and off the mat. Send us a textSupport the showTo learn more about us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jacqueline: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you! I've been feeling better already. Part of school ihp 1 -2. Here's my issues. Started with Detox 2 weeks. I had congestion after shake and mucous in my throat which is usually what happens with gluten and dairy (sensitive). I noticed dandelion root which also came up on my food sensitivities test I use 1 scoop now and take the multi Also the fruit and vegetable blend, all the grasses I have issues with so I can't use that. Question is I'm doing cbo protocol and taking all the stuff, daily detox c, d, zinc, mag, metavolve. Will the cbo protocol help these food sensitivities after I finish it? These supplements are foundation and I want to be able to use them. Thank you again. I'm so blessed I found this program.                                                                                                                                                                 Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have 2 questions regarding food labels: 1. Is peanut oil considered one of the dangerous seed oils? It's listed with pecans, Brazil nuts and almonds in a mixed nut bag 2. Are oats that say glyphosate free but not organic safe to eat? There is a brand Seven Sundays that I love and has amazing ingredients, but it does not have the “organic label” but does say glyphosate free                                                                                                                          D: Thank you for all you/team do. I love your "test not guess" approach, but I have run out of resources from lots testing in with my MD/ND. I am hopping you can help me map out what protocols would be my "Best Bet" in your experience." My primary symptoms is the inability to breathe. After a very stressful year (financially, miscarriage, moving x2, death in the family & ultra-endurance event), my body feels like it has shut down. They gave me an epipen 2x at the hospital & put me on PPI as they can't figure out why I am not able to breathe (6months). Blood/stool testing shows no allergies issues, low testosterone, high cortisol, no gut issues . Working with a breath coach & done the 21 FMD (feel about 25% better). For context I was a high performing, health conscious 40yr/ m. S&C coach.          Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I listened to earlier podcasts on Ayurvedic body types (Dosha). Numbers 713, 907, 914, 922, 929, 936, 950, 969. I believe I am Vata body type. My question is about physical exercises. Walking outside is number 1 recommended cardio in those podcasts for Vata body type. Because walking does not allow to reach and stay in Zone 2, is Zone 2 cardio at all beneficial or recommended to Vata body types through inclined walking on treadmill or rowing machine? The question is due to my goal of gaining healthy weight and Zone 2 cardio for Vata may not contribute to that. I am male, 40 y.o., 5feet 7inches, 125 lbs. I did Big5, working with EquiLife health coach. I have candida and yeast overgrowth and I am in the middle of CBO protocol. Low testosterone, high evening cortisol.         Ann: Hi Dr Cabral :). Thank you for all you do for your community every day :) We appreciate you . My 23yo son had routine bloodwork and came back with very low D and very high iron. I'm addressing the D, but I am wondering if you could explain possible root causes for high iron, and possible remedies beyond decreasing red meat and not cooking in cast iron. His GP is testing to see if there is a genetic cause as well. (His TIBC and UIBC were in the normal range , Iron Sat was 58 and Iron was 191 if that is info that helps) Thank you again - have a wonderful day :)                     Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3320 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
