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. Learn how restoring this natural rhythm can awaken energy, focus, and longevity from within.Episode Highlights:Understanding your body's natural 24-hour clockHow late nights, jet lag, and screen time can disrupt your body.Surprising link between circadian rhythm & autoimmune issuesDhinacharya and Ratricharya.The Power of Brahma MuhurtaTimestamps:0:00 – 1:00: Introduction1:00 – 3:00: What is the Circadian Rhythm?3:00 – 5:00: Western Discovery and Circadian Rhythm5:00 – 6:30: Clock Genes and Health Implications6:30 – 7:40: Ayurveda's Deep Understanding of Natural Clock7:40 – 8:30: Brahma Muhurta — The Sacred Morning Time8:30 – 9:10: Practical Tips to Align with Circadian Rhythm9:10 – 9:40: Lessons from Retreat Life9:40 – 10:00: Closing ThoughtsBook a Consultation with Dr. Vignesh DevrajIf you're interested in a one-on-one Ayurvedic consultation with Dr. Vignesh Devraj, you can schedule your session through this link: https://calendly.com/drvignesh/30-minute-session-with-dr-vignesh-devraj-md-ay-ist For those facing financial difficulties, we offer limited free consultations.

Managing Vata is often considered the most challenging yet crucial part of healing.To help guide you through this, I've recorded a comprehensive workshop titled “Balancing the Mighty Vata”—featuring over 6 hours of in-depth content and practical guidance you can integrate into daily life.

In this enlightening conversation between Dimple Jangda and Dr. Alka Vijayan, the duo dives deep into the Ayurvedic perspective on thyroid health, PCOS/PCOD, hormonal imbalances, and women's wellness. They decode how modern lifestyle habits, late nights, stress, wrong diet trends, synthetic products, and over exercising, create Vata and Kapha imbalances leading to chronic disorders. Dr. Alka emphasizes aligning with circadian rhythm, understanding one's Prakriti, and restoring balance through wholesome food, mindful cooking, rest, and emotional regulation. This episode bridges ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern-day health struggles, inspiring women to reconnect with their natural cycles and self-care.

Apologies for no episode last weekend! we just couldn't find the time to sit down and record together.Ned and James are back to discuss the loss away to Coventry, a defensive disaster class and not taking our chances killed us. Dominating in all stats but one saw the Hornets fall to a 3-1 defeat. The boys then turn their attention to Javi's first three games in charge, what have we learnt so far? The Spaniard seems to be getting the best out of some players (Vata and Bola) but there have been disappointing performances from others (Sissoko and Kayembe) and the team seems to be building in the right direction, a challenging first three sees the golden boys pick up 3 points and compete heavily against table toppers Coventry. Looking ahead to Middlesbrough, are we optimistic?Guess the Player returns, as does FEFL, if you want to join the league YOU STILL CAN! the code is SRGIJZ45Let us know your thoughts!!

In this episode, we unpack the vital difference between the two, and why true well-being goes far beyond a perfect body or workout routine.

Vielleicht ist der Winter die beste Zeit, um die Welt von Vata, Pitta und Kapha kennenzulernen, denn das ist die Welt, aus der man gut geölt und tiefenentspannt wieder auftaucht: die Welt des Ayurveda.

Aber mit Wellness hat das nichts zu tun." Von Gisela Steinhauer.

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. Why anchoring your body naturally steadies your mind and spirit.

Wisdom, practices and stories to help you return to you. As autumn creeps in, nature begins its shift — and so do we. According to Ayurvedic wisdom, we are inextricably linked to the natural world. Whatever happens outside in nature is also happening inside of us, impacting our body, mind, and spirit.In this episode, we explore how the season of Vata — represented by space and air — influences our energy, emotions, digestion, and overall sense of balance. Fall brings dry winds, cooler temperatures, and shorter days, which can leave us feeling scattered, anxious, restless, or even experiencing sleep disturbances.But there's good news: when we understand these seasonal shifts, we can work with them instead of against them. Ayurveda gives us tools to return to balance by bringing in qualities opposite of Vata — stability, warmth, grounding, and nourishment.

Learned helplessness quietly shapes every aspect of our lives. People develop limiting beliefs that keep them feeling stuck in a loop of failures, often leading to resignation or a victim mentality.

Spirituality can be a powerful force for healing, but what happens when it becomes a mask for avoidance? In this conversation, our guest Ananta Ripa Ajmera explores the rising phenomenon of spiritual bypassing: using spiritual language to escape responsibility, dismiss effort as “divine timing,” or rationalize inaction as destiny.Ananta offers radical responsibility as the antidote: taking full ownership of our choices and recognizing that karma shapes every dimension of life. Drawing on Ayurveda and her own wisdom, she explains how true healing requires more than herbs and therapies; it demands selfless service, emotional honesty, and courage to face our inner wounds.Episode HighlightsSpiritual Bypassing and InactivityReal Meaning of Navratri Karma, Forgiveness, and ServiceBhagavat Gita and Krishna's LessonsThe Path of Radical ResponsibilityTimestamps00:00 – 09:45: Introduction and Spiritual Bypassing09:45 – 22:12: The Goddess Journey Through Chakras22:12 – 24:41: New Beginnings, Forgiveness, and Service24:42 – 31:44: The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita31:45 – 36:52: Friendship with the Self and the Power of Truth36:53 – 42:23: Conflict as Medicine and the Practice of Sthitaprajna42:23 – 51:57: The Path of Radical Responsibility51:57 – 01:01:12: The Essence of Spiritual HealingAbout Ananta Ripa Ajmera A spiritual teacher and 10-time award-winning, 2-time bestselling author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way.

Dr. Sati and Praj unpack the “spirituality of money,” linking Vedic elements, doshas (Vata/Pitta/Kapha), and the three gunas to how we earn, spend, and stress—especially in today's shiny-object, Vata-leaning economy. They break down the Three F's of money (fight/flight/freeze), map money behaviors by constitution (Vata's earn-spend cycles, Pitta's purposeful investing, Kapha's hoarding), and offer practical swaps—redirect daily coffee runs, eating out, fast fashion, and even certain healthcare habits toward training, coaching, and long-term wellness ROI. 00:00 Welcome to the Woman Warrior Podcast03:58 Trainer Eyes and Circle Announcements08:01 Seasonal Changes and Wellness Check-In29:37 The Spirituality of Money40:09 Understanding Pitta and Money Flow42:36 Vata Traits and Financial Behavior43:18 Kapha's Financial Stability47:46 The Spiritual Perspective on Money51:33 Investing in Health and Fitness01:02:30 The Cost of Entertainment and Technology01:06:49 Healthcare and Spirituality of Money01:17:04 Final Thoughts and Truth BombBe sure to Like and Subscribe for more!

Have you ever noticed cravings sneak up when you're stressed, tired, or at the change of a season? Ayurveda teaches us that cravings aren't about willpower, they're messages from the body, pointing to imbalance.

In this episode, Colette explores: The Ayurvedic view of cravings through the six tastes (rasa) How doshic imbalances (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) shape what we crave The difference between true nourishment and false cravings Why ultra-processed foods disrupt our natural signals How an Ayurvedic cleanse rekindles Agni and resets your palate The emotional side of cravings - samskaras, habits, and food as comfort Practical tips to integrate into everyday life with mindful eating, seasonal foods, and gratitude ✨ Special Invitation ✨ If you'd like to experience this reset for yourself, join my upcoming Group Digestive Reset Cleanse starting October 3rd.

Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions.

The dialogue also emphasizes using the five senses while eating, the power of circadian rhythm, pranayama, chanting, and journaling for mental health.

In this insightful episode of Gut Story, Dr. Vignesh Devraj explains how modern diseases like diabetes, fatty liver, and hormonal imbalances are rooted in overconsumption, not malnourishment. Ayurveda classifies diseases into two types — those from deficiency (Apatharpana) and those from excess (Santharpana). With the world now facing abundance-related illnesses, Panchakarma becomes a vital therapy for detoxification.Dr. Vignesh breaks down the five Panchakarma therapies:Nasya – Nasal detox for sinus and mucus-related issues.Vamana – Therapeutic vomiting for Kapha imbalance and respiratory problems.Virechana – Purgation to cleanse the intestines and reduce Pitta-related disorders.Basti – Medicated enemas to nourish and cleanse the colon, ideal for Vata imbalances.Raktamokshana – Bloodletting for detoxing inflammatory markers and skin issues.He warns against DIY detox trends like unsupervised enemas, which can harm gut health and increase Vata imbalance. Panchakarma, when done correctly under supervision, can improve conditions such as PCOS, arthritis, IBS, migraines, asthma, and even fertility issues.The discussion emphasizes that health is a lifestyle, not a one-time treatment. Panchakarma acts as a reset button—helping individuals reconnect with their bodies, improve discipline, and build long-term well-being. Mental health, food habits, and physical activity all play critical roles in maintaining balance.

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?
