Podcasts about Vata

Have you ever wished a symptom would simply disappear? Whether it's bloating, fatigue, headaches, restless sleep or digestive discomfort, our first instinct is often to silence the discomfort and get on with our busy lives. But what if those symptoms aren't the problem? What if they're messages? Colette explores one of Ayurveda's most profound teachings: that symptoms are not random inconveniences to suppress but meaningful signals that the body is communicating an imbalance. Rather than fighting our symptoms, Ayurveda invites us to become curious and ask, "What is my body trying to communicate?" You'll discover how Ayurveda helps us understand the body's language of imbalance, why we often ignore its early warning signs, and how seasonal changes can influence our health. Colette also explores why fatigue, bloating and even pain may be invitations to slow down, pay attention and make small adjustments before imbalances become more significant. Whether you're completely new to Ayurveda or have been practicing for years, this episode offers a compassionate reminder that your body isn't working against you, it's working for you. By learning to listen with curiosity rather than fear, you can begin developing a deeper relationship with your body and support your wellbeing from the inside out. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Ayurveda views symptoms as communication rather than problems to eliminate. How to recognize the body's early whispers before they become louder signals. Why fatigue, bloating and pain aren't necessarily the problem, they're valuable information. How seasonal changes can influence Pitta, Kapha and Vata, and what that may look like in your own body. Why modern life encourages us to ignore our body's wisdom. The importance of responding with curiosity instead of criticism. The two fundamental questions Ayurveda asks when understanding imbalance. Simple ways to begin listening to your body's innate intelligence.   Register for the Autumn Digestive Reset Cleanse  If you're ready to support your body through this seasonal transition, my Discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse begins October 9th.

Dieses Interview mit Dr. med. Helene Atalla ist ein Replay aus 2024 – neu gemastert und geschnitten, weil es zu den meistgehörten Folgen der letzten Jahre zählt. Helene ist Fachärztin für Innere Medizin, Allgemeinmedizin und Ayurveda-Medizin nahe Linz in Österreich. Vieles, was schulmedizinisch nicht greifbar ist, hat aus ayurvedischer Sicht eine klare Erklärung. Innere Unruhe, Schlafstörungen, das nächtliche Wachwerden zwischen drei und vier – Helene fasst diese Beschwerden unter einem Begriff zusammen: dem Vata-Syndrom. Ein Phänomen unserer Zeit, in dem unser moderner Lebensstil die feinstoffliche Bewegungsenergie Vata immer weiter nach oben treibt. Ein Gespräch darüber, wie viel Klarheit darin liegt, das eigene System zu verstehen – und wie viel sich mit einfachen Dingen wieder ausgleichen lässt. **Das hörst du in diesem Interview:** » Das Vata-Syndrom – was ist das, und warum ist es so präsent in unserer Zeit? » Was Vata im Körper und im Geist bewirkt – und was bei einer Erhöhung passiert » Warum viele psychosomatische Beschwerden schulmedizinisch nicht greifbar sind » Familien- und Arbeitsalltag heute: Was treibt Vata nach oben? » Erste leise Anzeichen einer Vata-Erhöhung erkennen – mit konkreten Beispielen aus dem Alltag » Praktische Tipps, um Vata wieder in Balance zu bringen Zum Interview mit Video auf YouTube: https://youtu.be/7IzgRBc-HIo?feature=shared **Links zu Dr. med.

Listen Online: About this episode: The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes renowned natural health and Ayurveda expert Dr. John Douillard to uncover what thousands of years of ancient wisdom can teach us about living longer, and why modern science is finally beginning to catch up. From the three Ayurvedic body types (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) to eating with the seasons and working with your natural circadian rhythm, Dr. Douillard explains why some of the smartest longevity “hacks” may not be new at all. Ann Louise and Dr. Douillard also dive into some of today's hottest health topics, including why revving up metabolism later in life may backfire, his concerns about peptides for people with a history of cancer, and why less may be more when it comes to melatonin. Plus, discover the surprising longevity connection between your lymphatic system, nitric oxide, and something most of us do roughly 20,000 times a day: breathe. Dr. Douillard explains why breathing through your nose instead of your mouth can make such a difference—and why he even teaches some of his patients to sleep with their mouths taped shut. Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP, is a globally recognized leader in natural health, Ayurveda, and sports medicine who has spent decades exploring the science behind ancient healing traditions and translating that wisdom into practical strategies for modern health and longevity.

Kennst du das Gefühl, dass du eigentlich endlich zur Ruhe kommen möchtest – und trotzdem immer wieder das Handy in die Hand nimmst, die nächste Aufgabe suchst oder gedanklich schon beim nächsten Projekt bist? In dieser Podcastfolge erfährst du, warum innere Unruhe nicht einfach eine Charaktereigenschaft ist, sondern sowohl aus Sicht des Ayurveda als auch der Neurowissenschaften erklärbar ist. Du lernst: warum innere Unruhe im Ayurveda als Zeichen einer erhöhten Vata-Energie gilt, weshalb ein dauerhaft aktives Nervensystem Körper und Geist aus dem Gleichgewicht bringt, warum unser Gehirn Veränderungen zunächst als Bedrohung empfindet und lieber bei alten Mustern bleibt, wie Stress zu einer Gewohnheit werden kann, sodass wir unbewusst immer neue Aufgaben und Reize suchen, weshalb echte Entspannung vielen Menschen zunächst sogar unangenehm erscheint, und wie du diesen Kreislauf Schritt für Schritt durchbrechen kannst. Du erhältst außerdem alltagstaugliche Impulse, wie du dein Vata beruhigst, dein Nervensystem regulierst und wieder mehr Gelassenheit in dein Leben bringst – ohne dein Leben komplett umkrempeln zu müssen. Denn Ruhe entsteht nicht erst dann, wenn alles erledigt ist. Sie beginnt in dem Moment, in dem dein Nervensystem wieder lernt, dass Sicherheit nicht im ständigen Tun, sondern auch im Sein zu finden ist. Ich wünsche dir viel Freude beim Zuhören!

What if healing begins long before medicine reaches the body?In this episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj sits down with Guru Yogi Shivanji exploring mantra, consciousness, healing, and the relationship between the physical and subtle dimensions of our existence.Together, they discuss why Ayurveda views the mind as the bridge between the body and consciousness, the limitations of our senses, and how ancient teachings often describe reality in ways that resonate with emerging ideas in modern science.The conversation also explores the meaning of detachment, the purpose of spiritual practice, how breath influences the mind, and why many of our emotional and physical patterns begin long before symptoms appear. Rather than asking listeners to believe blindly, this episode invites us to question, observe, and experience these teachings for ourselves.Episode HighlightsFrom scepticism to spiritual inquiryMantra: Medicine for the mindBody, mind, and consciousnessPancha Kosha, Sthula and Sukshma explainedThe limits of sensory perception Quantum physics Vs ancient wisdomAwareness & attention influence healingThe three states of consciousnessTimestamps00:00 – 07:42 – From Scepticism to the Science of Mantra07:42 – 15:30 – Body, Mind & Consciousness: The Missing Link15:30 – 24:20 – Pancha Kosha, Sukshma Sharira & The Nature of Reality24:20 – 34:10 – Spirituality, Detachment & The Meaning of a Tyagi34:10 – 45:25 – Mantra, Quantum Physics & The Power of Thought45:25 – 54:45 – Healing the Mind, Breaking Patterns & The Role of Breath54:45 – 01:01:11 – Consciousness, Liberation & A Preview of Episode 2About Guru Yogi ShivanjiGuru Yogi Shivanji is a teacher of Siddha wisdom, yoga, mantra, and consciousness whose work integrates ancient Indian spiritual traditions with practical approaches to inner transformation.

In this episode of That's So Hindu, Sheetal Shah talks with Dr. Reetu Rudra about the principles of Ayurveda, a holistic system of health that emphasizes the balance of body and mind through understanding one's dosha. The conversation explores the significance of food, digestion, and the importance of proper food combinations in maintaining health. Dr. Rudra explains the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and how they influence individual health. The episode also addresses common misconceptions about food, including the role of protein powders and the nutritional value of lentils, providing insights into how Ayurveda can guide dietary choices for better health. They also explore the principles of Ayurveda, focusing on the importance of spices in digestion, the individual nature of dietary needs, and the benefits of fresh foods over frozen options.

But what if anger is not the problem?In this episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj explores anger through the lens of psychology, Ayurveda, and spirituality, revealing that anger is often a messenger rather than the enemy itself. Beneath every outburst may be a deeper emotion asking to be heard: hurt, fear, grief, disrespect, or the need for healthy boundaries.Dr Vignesh explains the difference between destructive anger that protects the ego and creative anger that protects truth, justice, and dignity. He also discusses why people with chronic anger often struggle to express vulnerability, how unresolved emotional wounds affect the body, and what Ayurveda teaches about the relationship between anger, Pitta, inflammation, digestion, and chronic pain.Rather than encouraging suppression, this episode offers a practical framework for transforming anger into awareness, healing, and purposeful action.Episode Highlights:Understanding the true purpose of angerCreative vs destructive angerThe hidden wound beneath angerAyurveda's perspective on Pitta & angerWhy attachment fuels angerTransforming anger into purposeful actionTimestamps:00:00 – 03:50: What Is Anger Really Trying To Tell You?03:50 – 07:50: The Hidden Pain Beneath Anger07:50 – 11:20: Ayurveda, Pitta & The Physiology Of Anger11:20 – 15:50: Attachment, Expectations & The Bhagavad Gita15:50 – 19:50: When Anger Becomes A Force For Change19:50 – 22:55: Choosing Your Battles & Channelling Anger WiselyAbout Dr Vignesh DevrajDr Vignesh Devraj is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician and the founder of Sitaram Retreat, Kerala, a space for authentic healing.

The first week after birth is unlike any other time in a person's life. It is a season of profound openness—when the body, mind, and spirit are especially receptive to gentle, intentional care.In this conversation, Christine Eck is joined by Charlotte Senseney-Sternkind, founding instructor at the Center for Sacred Window Studies and expert in Ayurvedic postpartum bodywork, to explore the ancient practice of Marma Therapy and why it is uniquely suited to support the earliest days of the postpartum journey.Together, they discuss how conscious touch can help regulate the nervous system, encourage deep rest, balance the heightened Vata qualities present after birth, and create a sense of safety and grounding during one of life's most transformative transitions. Charlotte also shares how Marma Therapy works with the body's subtle energy points to support healing in a way that is both gentle and deeply restorative.Whether you're a postpartum professional, birth worker, Ayurvedic practitioner, or an expectant parent wanting to better understand the sacred postpartum window, this episode offers timeless wisdom on the healing power of presence, touch, and slowing down. In this episode, you'll learn:• What Marma Therapy is and how it differs from massage• Why the first week postpartum is an especially important time for gentle therapeutic touch• How Marma Therapy helps calm the nervous system and support emotional and physical recovery• The Ayurvedic understanding of Vata after birth and why balancing it matters• How conscious touch can become a meaningful part of postpartum care for families and practitioners alikeIf this conversation inspires you to deepen your understanding of postpartum care, explore the Center for Sacred Window Studies' professional training programs, where Charlotte teaches Conscious Touch for Postpartum, including Marma Therapy, practitioner-given Abhyanga, infant Abhyanga, lymphatic support, and other restorative Ayurvedic bodywork practices.Because when we honor the sacred first days after birth, we create the conditions for healing that can ripple through a lifetime.Bio:Charlotte is a founding instructor of the Center for Sacred Window Studies.  She was led to this work by Spirit as she came up with a business name during meditation. The teacher who trained her called one day and said she had been informally calling her students Ayurdoulas. That is how her deeper journey as a postpartum doula began after years of being a birth doula and prenatal massage therapist. She fully believes in supporting the mama and her experience of growing, birthing and nurturing life on this earth. Charlotte loves seeing how even the simplest shift can add sweetness to the mama's Sacred Window and put a smile on her face in the midst of changes. Charlotte lives in San Antonio, TX. Charlotte retired from teaching at the Center for Sacred Window Studies at the end of 2025. Her impact and her devotion to this Center is ongoing. As we approach our bodywork module this coming fall, we honor her teachings and wisdom.-Begin your own journey into nourishment and postpartum wisdom:https://sacredwindowstudies.com/free-cookbook/-Are you feeling the call to know more about Conscious Postpartum Care?Reach out! ⁠Schedule a time with Christine⁠ to find out how this work can transform your care business or provide a meaningful career path.Here is the ⁠link⁠ to our free class@‌sacredwindowstudiesJoin our ⁠Facebook Group⁠Podcast Music is Composed by Sara Emmitt, graduate of the Center for Sacred Window Studies.

Fatigue qui ne part plus même après une nuit de sommeil, motivation en berne, irritabilité, corps qui tire la sonnette d'alarme ... Et si le burn-out n'était pas juste "dans la tête", mais un vrai déséquilibre à décoder ?Dans cet épisode, on explore le burn-out à travers le prisme de l'Ayurveda. On y parle de ce qui se joue vraiment quand on s'épuise : un "feu intérieur" qui brûle trop fort, trop longtemps, jusqu'à consumer nos réserves profondes, ce que l'Ayurveda appelle l'Ojas, notre énergie vitale la plus précieuse. On parle aussi du rôle de Vata, cet air qui s'emballe quand on court partout, qui disperse et qui épuise le système nerveux à petit feu.Mais on ne reste pas que dans l'explication : je te donne aussi quelques pistes concrètes, simples et accessibles, pour commencer à sortir de cet état et reconstruire ton énergie sur la durée plutôt que de juste "tenir" en attendant les prochaines vacances.De quoi poser un autre regard sur l'épuisement, comprendre ce qu'il essaie de te dire, et repartir avec des clés à mettre en place dès aujourd'hui !Et si tu sens que tu es toi-même en plein dedans, ou que tu t'en approches dangereusement, une consultation ayurvédique personnalisée peut t'aider à identifier ton déséquilibre profond et à retrouver ton énergie durablement. Tu peux prendre rendez-vous avec moi par mail à marie.shanti.yoga@gmail.com en présentiel à Paris/Issy-les-Moulineaux ou en ligne !

In this conversation, Dr. Vignesh Devraj is joined by author and Kailash pilgrim Vardhini Seetharaman to explore what truly unfolds during the sacred Kailash Parikrama.Together, they discuss why Kailash is far more than a high-altitude trek. Through stories of uncertainty, hardship, devotion, surrender, and unexpected grace, they reflect on how the pilgrimage strips away comfort, challenges the ego, and leaves lessons that last long after returning home.The conversation explores Yama Dwar, the practice of letting go, preparing the mind as much as the body, and why faith becomes our greatest strength when plans fall apart. Whether you hope to visit Mount Kailash or are navigating uncertainty in life, this episode offers timeless insights into resilience, spirituality, and trusting the journey.Episode Highlights:The call of KailashPreparing for KailashThe symbolism of Yama DwarLiving with uncertaintyFaith & surrenderLetting go of controlLessons from KailashKailash & Inner Transformation Timestamps:00:00 – 06:45 – The Call of Kailash06:45 – 13:15 – Beyond Physical Strength13:15 – 18:55 – Yama Dwar & Letting Go18:55 – 25:35 – Uncertainty as a Teacher25:35 – 31:40 – Grace & Miracles31:40 – 37:55 – Trusting the Journey37:55 – 40:55 – Lessons Beyond Kailash40:55 – 45:10 – Preparing for Kailash45:10 – 49:40 – Every Journey Is Different49:40 – 56:40 – Beyond Comfort56:40 – 01:00:15 – Miles to Mahadev01:00:15 – 01:02:31 – Why Kailash Calls You BackAbout Vardhini SeetharamanVardhini Seetharaman is a spiritual traveller, speaker, and author of Miles to Mahadev, a travel memoir chronicling her pilgrimages to Kailash, Adi Kailash, and Om Parvat.

In this deeply personal episode, he shares his experience of finally completing the sacred Kailash Parikrama, not simply as a physical trek, but as a profound journey of surrender, uncertainty, devotion, and inner transformation.From navigating unpredictable weather, high-altitude challenges, and physical exhaustion to witnessing extraordinary acts of faith, this conversation explores what Kailash teaches beyond the pilgrimage itself. Dr Vignesh reflects on the symbolism of letting go at Yama Dwar, the lessons hidden within discomfort, and how uncertainty becomes one of life's greatest spiritual teachers.Rather than being a travel diary, this episode is an invitation to examine how we respond when life refuses to follow our plans, and why true transformation often begins when we stop trying to control every outcome.Episode Highlights:Preparing for the Kailash ParikramaLessons from uncertainty & surrenderThe meaning of Yama DwarLetting go before moving forwardFacing fear at high altitudeDevotion beyond physical enduranceWhat Mount Kailash taught meTrusting life instead of controlling itTimestamps:00:00 – 05:45: A Dream Two Decades In The Making05:45 – 10:30: Beginning The Sacred Parikrama10:30 – 15:45: Enduring The Mountain's Greatest Challenges15:45 – 21:30: Devotion, Ego & The Meaning Of Letting Go21:30 – 26:30: The Spiritual Lessons Of Kailash26:30 – 31:42: Returning Home With A Different PerspectiveAbout Dr Vignesh DevrajDr Vignesh Devraj is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician and the founder of Sitaram Retreat, Kerala, a space for authentic healing.

Have you ever wondered if your skin is trying to tell you something? In this episode, Colette continues the conversation on Ayurvedic skin health following her interview with Vaidya Kamya Pillai on the gut-skin connection in episode 447. While many of us are taught to focus on skincare products to address dryness, breakouts, redness, or sensitivity, Ayurveda encourages us to look beneath the surface and explore what these symptoms may be communicating about our overall health. Colette explores how imbalances in the doshas of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha can manifest in the skin and how understanding the underlying causes can help us better support our skin and our wellbeing. She discusses the relationship between skin health and digestion, the nervous system, stress, life stages, seasonal influences, and the Ayurvedic principle that symptoms are often messages rather than problems to eliminate. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Ayurveda views the skin as a reflection of internal health How Vata imbalance may contribute to dryness, sensitivity, and premature aging How Pitta imbalance can manifest as inflammation, redness, acne, and skin reactivity How Kapha imbalance may lead to congestion, oiliness, puffiness, and sluggish skin How seasonal changes influence the skin Why skin concerns often change throughout different stages of life The Ayurvedic principle of using opposite qualities to restore balance How to begin listening to the messages your skin may be sending Whether you're experiencing acne, rosacea, dryness, sensitivity, inflammation, congestion, or simply want to better understand your skin through the lens of Ayurveda, this episode offers practical insights and a deeper perspective on cultivating health and radiance from within. * The Elements of Ayurveda Podcast Community was created for those who wish to go deeper into Ayurveda, together.

Over time, this constant mental effort creates tension in the body, keeps the nervous system on high alert, and makes it difficult to experience genuine calm.Through gentle breath awareness, mindful reflection, and Ayurvedic wisdom, this meditation helps you recognise the difference between effort and control, inviting you to participate in life without carrying the burden of trying to control every outcome.Whether you are navigating uncertainty, stress, difficult relationships, work pressures, or simply looking for a few moments of stillness before your day begins, this practice offers a simple reminder: do your best, and release the rest.Episode Highlights:A guided meditation for letting goWhy do we try to control everythingLearning to trust the body's intelligenceControl vs participationBreath as a tool for surrenderResponding instead of reactingLiving with uncertainty"I do my part.

Summer can quietly dismantle the health routine you worked so hard to build.

Yet they continue to experience widespread pain, fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, and a deep sense of exhaustion that affects every aspect of life.Dr Vignesh explains the modern understanding of central sensitisation, why Fibromyalgia is not an imaginary condition, and how the nervous system can become overly sensitive to normal stimuli. He also shares his clinical observations from treating patients over the past two decades, including common emotional patterns, the relationship between sleep and pain, and why many patients feel unseen and misunderstood.The conversation explores Fibromyalgia through an Ayurvedic lens, discussing Vata imbalance, Agni, Ama, Panchakarma, lifestyle interventions, nervous system regulation, and the importance of creating a healing environment.Episode Highlights:Why Fibromyalgia is often misunderstoodUnderstanding central sensitisationSleep, pain & nervous system healthFibromyalgia through an Ayurvedic lensVata, Agni & Ama explainedFibromyalgia and perimenopauseCan Panchakarma help?Practical steps for recoveryTimestamps:00:00 - 03:59: Why Fibromyalgia Is Often Misunderstood04:00 - 08:00: Central Sensitisation, Sleep & The Nervous System08:00 - 12:00: Fibromyalgia Through The Ayurvedic Lens12:00 - 16:00: Movement, CBT & Panchakarma16:00 - 20:00: Emotional Patterns, Stress & Healing20:00 - 23:19: Practical Steps For Recovery & Final ThoughtsAbout Dr Vignesh DevrajDr Vignesh Devraj is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician and the founder of Sitaram Retreat, Kerala, a space for authentic healing.

Are you living by your body's wisdom or by your data? In today's wellness culture, we're encouraged to track, measure, monitor, and optimize almost every aspect of our lives. Sleep scores, step counts, fasting windows, heart rate variability, recovery metrics, calorie burn, protein intake, the list seems endless. While technology can offer valuable insights, many people are finding themselves increasingly disconnected from the very thing that matters most, their relationship with their own body. In this episode, Colette explores the growing culture of self-optimization through the lens of Ayurveda and nervous system health. Drawing on her own experience as a former triathlete whose pursuit of performance ultimately led to burnout, she shares how Ayurveda helped her move from rigid self-monitoring to embodied self-awareness. This conversation is not about rejecting technology. It's about remembering that health is not a collection of numbers. Ayurveda teaches us that true wellbeing is dynamic, individual, seasonal, and deeply connected to our ability to listen to our body's changing needs. Colette explores how constant tracking can sometimes shift from awareness into hypervigilance, why optimization culture particularly impacts Vata and Pitta types, and how external metrics can unintentionally override intuition, self-trust, and nervous system regulation. In this episode, you'll learn: How optimization culture can disconnect us from our body's innate wisdom The difference between self-awareness and self-surveillance Why wearables and health metrics don't tell the full story How Vata and Pitta tendencies can become amplified through chronic self-monitoring Why Ayurveda views health as contextual, seasonal, and individualized The connection between nervous system safety and healing How to rebuild trust in your body's internal feedback systems Why balance is responsive rather than rigid The importance of pleasure, flexibility, and humanity in long-term wellbeing Gentle ways to reconnect with your intuition and embodied awareness This episode is an invitation to step away from the pressure to constantly improve yourself and instead cultivate a deeper relationship with your body. Because some of the most important aspects of health, joy, connection, peace, ease, and presence, can never be fully measured, but they can be deeply felt.   Elements of Ayurveda Podcast Community This new online community was created for those who wish to go deeper into Ayurveda, together.

The episode explores why symptoms are not identities, how online quizzes often confuse imbalance with true nature, and why real healing begins when we understand how far we have drifted from our healthiest self.The conversation also introduces the philosophy behind the "Return To Your Healthiest Self" retreat in Austria and how Ayurveda can become a tool for self-awareness rather than self-labelling.Episode Highlights:• Why dosha quizzes can be misleading• Prakriti vs Vikriti explained• Why symptoms are not your identity• Stress, anxiety & false self-labels• Understanding your healthiest baseline• Returning to balance through AyurvedaTimestamps:00:00 - 02:20: The Problem With Online Dosha Quizzes02:20 - 04:55: Prakriti, Vikriti & Why Symptoms Are Not Your Identity04:55 - 07:15: Healthiest Self vs Current Self: Understanding The Difference07:15 - 09:47: Return To Your Healthiest Self: The Austria RetreatAbout Dr Vignesh DevrajDr Vignesh Devraj is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician and the founder of Sitaram Retreat, Kerala, a space for authentic healing.

Send us Fan MailToday I'm sitting down with Charlie Baldwin — a breathwork and meditation teacher with the Art of Living Foundation, over 1,000 hours of teaching experience, and a real gift for bringing these practices to people who never thought they'd be interested. He's taught in prisons, firehouses, universities, and retreat centers in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and he has a way of making ancient wisdom feel completely relevant to modern life. I really loved this conversation.Charlie's path began with a book his mom left in his dorm room — Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth — and a breathwork retreat he almost didn't go to when he was considering dropping out of college. Within six weeks of beginning a daily practice, everything shifted: more energy, more confidence, and the overwhelming things in life became manageable. Nine years of teaching later, he is one of the most thoughtful and non-dogmatic voices in this space.What we cover:Charlie's personal origin story — how a book his mom left in his dorm room and a retreat he nearly skipped changed the entire direction of his lifeBreathwork in law enforcement — how Charlie and a fellow Art of Living teacher began offering programs to community leaders in North Carolina, how the police chief had a profound experience, and why this demographic has become so receptive to these practices right nowSky Breath Meditation (Sudarshan Kriya) — the rhythmic breathing practice Charlie has taught for nine years, featured in James Nestor's book Breath, and what makes it different from other breathwork approachesTechnology, overstimulation & Vata imbalance — a rich conversation about how the optimization of social media for endless scrolling has created widespread nervous system dysregulation, and why breathwork is one of the most powerful resets available to usApps vs. in-person learning — where technology genuinely helps people enter a practice, and why certain teachings carry an energetic transmission that cannot be fully replicated by an appWhy wellness habits don't stick — the two things Charlie has seen make the biggest difference: community and the willingness to have faith before proof arrivesThe breath-emotion connection — the simple but profound insight that every emotion has a corresponding rhythm of breath, and that this street runs both ways: we can use the breath to shift our emotional state, not just the other way aroundThe straw breath — Charlie leads us through a beautiful, portable breathwork practice specifically designed for anxiety and overwhelm. Five or six breaths, and you will feel it.Connect with Charlie & the Art of Living:Art of Living Retreat Center, Boone, NCArt of Living Part One Course (Happiness Retreat)Instagram Books mentioned:Breath by James NestorA New Earth by Eckhart TolleResources: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

(audio fixed! sorry y'all) The Ayurvedic concept of "ojas" can feel elusive, especially because it's a unique perspective on something that we might refer to as our deep inner well of resilience or the nourishment we can call upon when we are in a time of stress or strain. There's no real physical component we can point to from a western anatomy lens.But it's an essential literal substance in the Ayurvedic paradigm that is required for recovery from "karmic crunch" times and also for things like healthy menstrual cycles, fertility, gentler perimenopause and even longevity.Ayurvedic practitioner Adena Rose Bright speaks to both her clinical and embodied personal experience identifying low Ojas and replenishing this "inner well" through simple practices that are accessible to all of us. We also chat about the often overlooked significance of bodywork in integrative health practices and so much more. Resources:Shownotes: Get links to Adena Rose's free course, apprenticeship etcFree Womb Connection & Clearing meditationEpisode 97: Understanding & pacifying Vata dosha w Kristen TimchakEpisode 182: Deeply replenishing postpartum care w Coco GenevieveIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

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.

People pleasing is often misunderstood as simply being "too nice," but for many people it's much deeper than that. It can become a nervous system survival strategy shaped by childhood conditioning, fear of rejection, emotional hypervigilance, and the longing to feel safe, accepted, loved, and connected. In this episode, Colette explores people pleasing through the lens of Ayurveda, nervous system healing, and emotional awareness. She shares how these patterns can disconnect us from our true nature and why healing involves much more than simply "setting boundaries" or "learning to say no." Drawing from both Ayurvedic wisdom and her own personal journey, Colette discusses how chronic people pleasing can manifest as anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, exhaustion, over-responsibility, insomnia, digestive imbalance, nervous system depletion, and emotional disconnection. She also explores the connection between people pleasing and the nervous system's fawn and freeze responses, and why the body may still perceive boundaries as unsafe even when the rational mind knows they are necessary. In this episode, you'll learn: Why people pleasing is often a nervous system adaptation rather than a behaviour The connection between people pleasing, the fawn response, and freeze response How childhood experiences can shape patterns of self-abandonment The Ayurvedic understanding of people pleasing through Vata and Pitta imbalances Why boundaries alone are often not enough for healing How chronic hypervigilance impacts the body, mind, digestion, hormones, and nervous system How Ayurveda supports nervous system repair, emotional awareness, embodiment, and self-trust Gentle practices to help reconnect with your voice, truth, and authentic self Check out Colette's online services:  Online Consultations - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/consultations Private Digestive Reset Cleanse - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/digestive-reset-cleanse Online Daily Habits for Holistic Health Program - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/daily-habits Reset-Restore-Renew Program - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/reset-restore-renew Have questions on Colette's online services? Book a FREE 15 min Services Enquiry Call here. https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/consultations Do I have an accumulation of ama/toxins in my body? Take this quiz to find out  https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/resources Elements of Ayurveda Podcast Community This new online community was created for those who wish to go deeper into Ayurveda, together.

Why is it so difficult to truly rest, even when we're exhausted? In this episode, Colette explores the deeper Ayurvedic understanding of rest, nervous system regulation, productivity culture, and the relationship between Vata and Pitta imbalance. Many people today are living in a constant state of overstimulation and "doing," leaving the nervous system unable to fully soften and restore. Colette looks at how modern culture often praises dysregulation when it looks productive, why rest can feel emotionally difficult, and how busyness can become a way of avoiding deeper feelings and disconnection from ourselves. She covers the following in this episode: Why many people struggle to truly rest The Ayurvedic understanding of nervous system dysregulation How productivity can become connected to identity and self-worth Why slowing down can sometimes feel unsafe The connection between rhythm, dinacharya and nervous system safety Why summer season can become surprisingly depleting Gentle Ayurvedic practices to calm Vata and soften excess Pitta Reconnecting with enoughness, presence and restoration This episode is a gentle reminder that rest is not laziness or something we earn only after burnout. From an Ayurvedic perspective, rest is an essential part of healing, restoration and sustainable wellbeing.

This episode originally aired in 2023 and, as one of our most-loved conversations, we're sharing it again with you today. Vata, nature's bio force of motion and circulation, plays a significant role in our mind/body system - specifically our digestive and emotional wellbeing. The subdoshas of Vata: Prana Vayu, Udana Vayu, Samana Vayu, Apana Vayu, and Vyana Vayu each have specific, significant roles in regulating our inner harmony. Chronic psychosomatic illnesses occur when Vata gets aggravated and left unchecked. We hope this conversation plants a deeper understanding of this dynamic dosha and offers practical tools for keeping your Vata balanced from the inside out.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 Support the showTo learn more about working with us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube

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.

Click here to send me a quick message :) The sacred windows of our lives, whether postpartum or perimenopause or menarche or any significant transition, are portals of extra sensitivity.In some ways, they are a gift in that we can almost recreate ourselves from the ground up, renewing, and discovering a new version of ourselves.In other ways, they are tender, even vulnerable, times that require extra care and deep nourishment to replenish and rebuild from what is often more Vata dominant (from the Ayurvedic lens).But what can that nourishment look like? And how can relationship to the earth, seasonal cycle and local food play a role? This week's guest, "nurturer" Ashley Winkelspecht, bring all of this together in her work and practices where she tends and nourishes both postpartum mamas as well as her rural community in the form of meal prep (and growing and sourcing local food). She also layers on additional practices to enhance the prana, vitality and healing potential of the nourishment she brings. Listen in to hear all about it.Resources:Free guided womb connection meditation and clearingToday's shownotes: Get links to Ashley's offeringsEpisode 49: Sacred windows of our lives with Ashlee Sakaishi WilkinEpisode 139: Cultivate resilience in Vata season w Molly McConnellEpisode 156: Universal Mother principles w Christine EckEpisode 182: Deeply replenishing postpartum care with Coco GenevieveIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

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!

Menopause isn't a sudden event; it's a transition that begins 5-10 years earlier. In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj explains what really happens during perimenopause and menopause, why symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety, and poor sleep feel unpredictable, and how your earlier lifestyle and menstrual health shape this phase.From an Ayurvedic perspective, menopause is a stage of depletion where resilience reduces, and the body becomes more sensitive. This episode also explores when Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may help, the role of lifestyle changes and Panchakarma, and why preparing in your 30s and 40s can make the transition smoother.Episode HighlightsUnderstanding perimenopause: the phase that begins 5–10 years earlierThe concept of menopause as a “second puberty.”How lifestyle, stress, and menstrual history shape your menopausal experienceThe Ayurvedic perspective: menopause as a depletion and sensitivity phaseHormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): when it helps and when it may not be necessaryThe importance of preparing in your 30s and 40s for a smoother transitionPanchakarma and lifestyle corrections as preventive toolsReframing menopause as a reset, not a declineEpisode Timestamps00:00 - 01:30: Why menopause still feels confusing01:30 - 03:00: Menopause as a “second puberty.”03:00 - 05:00: Why menopause happens biologically05:00 - 06:00: Your menopause is a continuation of your past06:00 - 10:00: Ayurveda on menopause & Hormone Replacement Therapy10:00 - 11:30: Lifestyle changes and Panchakarma 11:30 - 12:30: Can menopause be delayed?About Dr Vignesh Devraj Dr Vignesh Devraj is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician and the founder of Sitaram Retreat, Kerala, a space for authentic healing.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Selena: Hi doctor Cabral, I'm looking for some insight into my body composition. I'm a 47-year-old female currently strength training 6 days/week (30-min Upper/Lower split) and averaging 20K steps daily. My intake is ~2200 kcal (150-180g Protein / 200g Carbs). While I'm lean and can feel the muscle underneath, I'm lacking visible definition. Am I potentially over-training, or do I need to adjust my intensity/recovery to see better hypertrophy? Thanks so much in advance for your answer!      Jen: Any advice! Sick w/something middle of December (maybe subclade K as it was the week that was apparently the pinnacle week in UK) , GP prescribed Penicillin as sent a pic of throat & he said maybe Strep. Didn't work so Clarathromycin which made me better but then Oral Thrush which went on weeks treated with Daktarin/Fluconazole (had to beg for it) but had 3 ever increasing doses. Now I have been told it's Burning Mouth Syndrome. Tested for Full Bloods, Diabetes & even HIV (all normal or Negative for the latter). This has been 2.5 months of hell. Saw a Oral Maxillofacial specialist on Friday who said I needed to brush HARD TOOTHBRUSH with Kingfisher (Inc Sodium Lauroul Sarconsinate) & that I'm just having Menopause! I lost my @#*& ! Bloods due for Vits/Mins. Taking vit A-Z , alpha Lapoic.      Mohamed: Hello Dr.Cabral. I enjoy watching your weekend house calls and your in-depth responses are fantastic. My question is 2 part.. if you could do 3-4 things to support healthy blood pressure (Dad's on higher side, 160/80s). What would the 4 things be? For a late 60s man. 2nd question is regarding Intracellular nutrient analysis lab? It states " The INA (Intracellular Nutrient Analysis) directly measures the effect of specific micronutrients on the ability of T and B lymphocytes to reproduce when stimulated with a mitogen (i.e., mitosis generator)". Thoughts on this? Thanks!        Maria: Dr. Cabral, thank you for all you do for everyone. Your amazing! Can you talk a little bit about hammer toe, curl toes, etc Is this curable. I didn't find anything in your podcast. again thank! Have an amazing blessed day.      Sonny: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for everything you do. I'm an IHP2 and had a question about my morning routine. I wake at 4:45am and do tongue scraping, oil pulling, meditation, breathwork, and drink ~500ml lemon water with sea salt. I strength train from 6:00am–7:00am (about 30 min mobility + 30 min strength), then walk outside 35–40 minutes, followed by ~25 minutes in an infrared sauna and a shower. By then it's around 9am and I'm still fasted. I usually finish dinner around 6–6:30pm, so it's a long overnight fast. As a Vata body type, is this too long given the morning activity? Would drinking my protein smoothie around 8am during the sauna blunt the sauna benefits? Also, would drinking essential amino acids before my workout be helpful, or would that break the overnight fast?      Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3718 - - - 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?

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
