#38 It's OK, You Can't Do Everything

Let's talk about the Ayurvedic daily routine! We know doshas rule our bodies, but they also rule certain times of day, the seasons, and stages of life. Once we know what doshas are strongest at specific times, we can adjust our routine accordingly to go with the flow of those doshas to achieve overall balance.  If we do the wrong things at the wrong time, it's like swimming upstream. Wrong timing is considered a causative factor of disease, or imbalance. But it's so easy to fix! Often times we just need a small adjustment to keep you in flow with nature as your mind and body easily thrives.  Subscribe &amp; Review in iTunes Have you subscribed to my podcast?

#12 Confused About My Dosha(s)!

The body's internal digestive fire is called our agni. When agni functions properly, whatever we have eaten gets digested and absorbed by the body's tissues. Then the body eliminates waste. Pretty simple. However, when doshas or tissues are imbalanced due to lifestyle, diet, negative emotions, etc., agni becomes weakened or disturbed and therefore cannot digest food properly. The function of agni is the main contributor to our physical and mental health and when agni functions properly, we thrive. But when agni malfunctions, we get sick and we can accumulate ama (toxins).  In this episode you'll learn: • The right times to eat and why • How to avoid ama (toxins) • How to "train" your digestion to work properly • The biggest mistake we make when eating  Subscribe &amp; Review in iTunes Have you subscribed to my podcast?

#5 One Ayurvedic Change, 5 Impactful Results

Ayurveda says that each dosha requires a slightly different diet. This is where Ayurvedic eating really becomes customized and acts in a way as preventative medicine. If we are eating the right foods for our unique bodies, our minds will thrive, our bodies will function well, and our immunity will be strong! Vatas are very light and airy. They will need foods that are grounding, stabilizing and warm. Since vatas don't have a lot of structure, their food needs to have more structure or they will get weak and their tissues will break down. They need to eat what I call "building" foods. Pittas are slightly oily, hot and sharp. They will also need foods that are cooling, fresh, and mild. They will also need grounding foods but for a different reason — pittas will burn through food quickly, so if it's not substantial enough, they will be hungry (and cranky!) often. Pittas have medium structure and also need "building" foods so their naturally strong digestive fire stays strong, without burning up the tissues. Kaphas are already quite built! They need light, warm, spicy foods to ignite some heat! Kaphas don't need grounding or overly "building" foods because they have that naturally. Too much of those types of foods and kaphas will feel heavy and tend toward weight gain and sluggishness. Subscribe &amp; Review in iTunes Have you subscribed to my podcast?
