Send us a textIn this New Year episode of Nourish the Nervous System, we explore winter not as a time for pushing forward or reinventing ourselves, but as a season of subtlety, listening, and inward refinement.Rather than loud resolutions or high-energy goals, winter invites a quieter kind of awareness — one that whispers instead of shouts. Through the Ayurvedic lens of Vata dosha and the Sanskrit quality sukshma (the subtle), we explore how this season affects the nervous system, our emotions, and our inner rhythms.This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and honor sensitivity as a form of strength — not fragility.In this episode, we explore:Why New Year's energy can feel misaligned in the deep of winterThe contrast between summer's outward buzz and winter's inward stillnessVata dosha in winter, with a focus on sukshma (the subtle quality)How winter heightens nervous system sensitivity and perceptionSubtle signs many people notice this time of year, including:quiet or lingering fatiguelow-grade anxietyemotional waves without a clear storyincreased sensitivity to sound, light, and conversationTranslating Ayurveda into modern language:sensory processingnervous system loadWhy “subtle” does not mean weak — it means attunedHow winter can surface emotional material without anything being “wrong”The cultural pressure to feel “up” and productive — even in winterHonoring rest without slipping into stagnation or disconnectionPractical ways to support sukshma energy in winter:Softening the edges of your day and reducing transitionsCreating sensory nourishment with dim lighting, quiet, and warmthUsing warm oil (especially on the feet) to ground the nervous systemStaying connected to intuition through journaling, somatic awareness, or creative expressionBalancing subtlety with sthula (the gross, tangible quality) through grounding movement:strength-based exercisewalking outdoorsusing larger muscle groupsgetting fresh air and natural lightReflection questions for the week:What feels louder now that life is quieter?What is asking for attention?What no longer fits?You're invited to sit with these questions gently — through journaling, meditation, or simply noticing what arises.Mentioned in this episode:Gentle Ayurvedic Guide to Perimenopause Rhythm & Ritual — a small-group seasonal cohort for perimenopause, Ayurveda, and somatic supportSpring and Fall cohortsFocused on rhythm, nervous system regulation, and seasonal wisdomJoin the waitlist to learn moreWinter doesn't ask us to fix ourselves.

בפרק זה אנו צוללים לעומק המבנה האיורוודי ומכירים את שלוש הדושות (Doshas): ואטה, פיטה וקאפה. אלו הם הכוחות הביולוגיים שנוצרים משילוב חמשת האלמנטים (חלל, אוויר, אש, מים ואדמה) והם אלו שקובעים את הטיפוס הייחודי של כל אחד מאיתנו.בפרק נגלה:- מהי דושה? נבין שמדובר בכוחות שנוטים לצאת מאיזון ("דושה" = קלקול בסנסקריט) וכיצד הם משפיעים על הבריאות שלנו.- ואטה (Vata): שילוב של חלל ואוויר. הכוח שאחראי על כל התנועה בגוף – מנשימה ועד תנועת המחשבות. מה קורה כשהוא יוצא מאיזון? - פיטה (Pitta): שילוב של אש ומעט מים. הכוח שאחראי על התמרה, עיכול (פיזי ומנטלי) וחילוף חומרים.- קאפה (Kapha): שילוב של מים ואדמה. הכוח המלכד, שאחראי על המבנה, הסיכוך והחוסן של הגוף.השילוב הייחודי: נלמד שכולנו מורכבים מכל שלוש הדושות, אך במינונים שונים שנקבעו עוד ברגע העיבור.זהו פרק מפתח למי שרוצה להתחיל להבין למה הגוף וההכרה שלו מגיבים כפי שהם מגיבים, ואיך להתחיל לחיות בהתאמה לטבע האישי שלנו.--עקבו אחרי שאול ורווית:שאול גתרי:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/shaulguthrie/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠רווית אורן:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/ravitoran/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠עקבו אחרי עמותת קדן:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kadenfoundation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---✨ רוצים להעמיק? הנה הצעדים הבאים המומלצים:

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.

In this warm and gently humorous pre-Christmas episode, I guide you through three of the most common holiday challenges: overwhelm, stress, and overeating. If you feel scattered, tired, emotional, pulled in a thousand directions, or suddenly craving every sweet thing in existence — you are not alone, and nothing is wrong with you. You're simply human… and it's December.Through compassionate Ayurvedic wisdom, relatable real-life stories and one or two laugh-with-me moments, I show you how Vata, Pitta and Kapha influence your holiday behaviour — and what small, doable steps help you regain calm, clarity and comfort.You'll learn: • how to soothe overwhelm (Vata) • how to cool perfectionism + pressure (Pitta) • how to gently support emotional eating (Kapha) • and how to choose ONE tiny step to bring yourself back into balanceThis episode is a cosy exhale and a loving reminder that you don't need to do everything… just the next thing.✨ If you're feeling called to receive personalised Ayurvedic support during this season, you can book a free 15-minute connection call with me: https://tidycal.com/ithrive/connection-call

Send us a textIn this second episode of my perimenopause series, we explore Agni — your digestive and metabolic fire — and why it plays such a central role in the perimenopause transition. Ayurveda teaches that perimenopause isn't just a hormonal shift. It's a metabolic one. A deep recalibration in how the body digests food, processes experience, regulates energy, and maintains balance.Today, I walk through how Agni changes during this time, the three ways Agni can become imbalanced (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha styles), and how these patterns show up physically, mentally, and emotionally. We talk about the connection between digestion, estrogen metabolism, the nervous system, and why supporting your inner fire can bring more steadiness and clarity into this phase of life.This episode is both validating and deeply practical — a gentle guide to understanding your body through the lens of rhythm, nourishment, and internal wisdom.In this episode, I cover: • Why Ayurveda views perimenopause as a metabolic transition • How fluctuating estrogen affects Agni, digestion, heat regulation, and mood • The three main Agni patterns that show up during perimenopause — Vata/ Vishama Agni: irregular, sensitive, unpredictable — Pitta/ Tikshna Agni: hot, sharp, overactive — Kapha/ Manda Agni: slow, heavy, dull • Physical + emotional signs for each pattern • The role of fat tissue, the adrenals, and peripheral estrogen production • How Agni influences Rasa (hydration, lubrication, nourishment) • Why this time is a sacred window for tending your nervous system • Lifestyle, food, and pacing practices to support each type of Agni • The deeper spiritual meaning of tending your “sacred fire” during this transition • How metabolic steadiness supports hormones, sleep, immunity, and overall vitality • Why this transition is refinement — not declineResources:Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Send us a textIn today's episode, we step into the tender, powerful transition of perimenopause through the Ayurvedic lens—exploring rasa datu, the first and most foundational tissue of the body.I share how Ayurveda views perimenopause not as a decline, but as a sacred portal from the Pitta stage of life into the Vata years—one filled with potential for wisdom, clarity, insight, and deeper nourishment. Through the lens of rasa, we look at why this season is naturally juicy, tender, and sensitive, and how changes in hydration, hormones, cycles, and emotional resilience all tie back to this vital tissue.In this Episode:The three stages of life in Ayurveda (Kapha → Pitta → Vata)The natural hormonal shifts that occur in perimenopauseWhy this transition is inherently rasa-sensitiveHow rasa depletion, excess, or disturbance shows up differently in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha typesHow the brain adapts to hormonal changesHow peripheral fat tissue continues to create estrogen post-menopauseThe emotional and spiritual dimensions of rasaLifestyle, food, and herbal strategies for deeply nourishing rasaHow supporting rasa also supports agni and ojasThis episode is the first in a three-part series on Ayurveda & perimenopause—next up: Agni, and then Ojas.Resources:Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Are you drinking water the wrong way?From microplastics to poor digestion and Vata imbalance - these 3 common mistakes are quietly harming your gut and hormones."

In this episode of the Elements of Ayurveda Podcast, we're exploring a truly beautiful concept in Ayurvedic wisdom, Sneha, a Sanskrit word that means both oil and love. And that's no coincidence. Sneha is the essence of softness, warmth, and care that keeps our body, mind, and heart supple. It's both nourishment and an act of conscious love, a daily reminder that tending to ourselves is not selfish, but sacred. In this episode, Colette shares how Sneha can be practiced both externally through self-oiling rituals like abhyanga, and internally through nourishing fats such as ghee or medicated oils. You'll also discover how Sneha softens not only the physical body but also the mind and emotions, helping to cultivate resilience, calm, and compassion in your daily life. In this episode, you'll learn: The dual meaning of Sneha in Sanskrit and why oiling is an act of love The difference between external Sneha and internal Sneha  How Sneha supports physical health, from joint mobility and skin nourishment to digestion and immunity The emotional and psychological benefits of Sneha for calming Vata, reducing stress, and fostering self-compassion How to personalize your Sneha practice for each dosha and season Simple, daily Sneha rituals you can try at home, even if you only have a few minutes Links & Resources Sponsor: Kerala Ayurveda Academy – Advance your Ayurvedic education with the Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner (AAP) Program.

Ayurveda, often referred to as the “science of life,” is one of the world's oldest holistic healing systems, with origins dating back over 5,000 years to ancient India. From understanding the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—that govern our physical and emotional states, to the powerful cleansing and rejuvenating process known as Panchakarma. Ayurveda is rooted in harmony between mind, body, and spirit, and it views health as a dynamic balance rather than the mere absence of disease. Can this ancient system continue to offer profound guidance for holistic wellness in the modern world?In this episode, we are joined by Nisha Saini, CHHP. Nisha is the Founder and Director of the award-winning New York Ayurveda & Panchakarma Center in 2006, and is a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Panchakarma Specialist, and licensed holistic esthetician.

But centuries before this term existed, Ayurveda had already mapped this wisdom through Dinacharya, the rhythm of aligning our daily actions with nature's cycles. In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj reveals why true health depends not just on how long you sleep, but when you sleep. He explains how going against your body's clock, staying up late, skipping meals, or waking at odd hours quietly disrupts hormones, digestion, and mental clarity.

Life can often feel unpredictable, whether from work pressures, social shifts, or simply the pace of the world. Ayurveda reminds us that stability isn't found in controlling the external world, but in cultivating steady rhythms and anchor habits within ourselves. In this episode, Colette explores how small, consistent daily habits can serve as anchors for your body, mind, and spirit. You'll learn why Ayurveda places such importance on daily self-care practices (dinacharya), how different doshas benefit from specific anchors, and how these tiny, steady routines ripple out to support digestion, sleep, energy, emotional balance, and longevity. Whether you're new to Ayurveda or looking to deepen your self-care practices, this episode will inspire you to choose just one simple anchor habit to bring more calm, clarity, and resilience into your life. What you'll learn in this episode: Why uncertainty often triggers “all-or-nothing” thinking and how anchor habits provide steadiness. Simple daily habit swaps to create calm energy, mental focus, and restful sleep. The Ayurvedic concept of dinacharya (daily routines) as a foundation for health. Dosha-specific anchors: grounding for Vata, cooling for Pitta, energizing for Kapha. How small, consistent habits ripple out to support nervous system resilience and longevity.
