In this episode, we explore how to support steady blood sugar during the holiday season using Ayurvedic wisdom. With more sugar, irregular meals, travel, and stress during the holidays, it's easy for the body's metabolic fire (agni) to become overwhelmed. Ayurveda offers practical, gentle tools to keep digestion strong, cravings balanced, and energy steady.

We take a deeper look at the pancreas as a home of agni and how its function relates to three key subdoshas: Pachaka Pitta, Kledaka Kapha, and Samana Vayu. You'll learn how these forces work together to regulate metabolism, mood, and digestive rhythm and why sugar crashes are both a physical and emotional imbalance.

You'll also discover:

Why holiday habits disrupt blood sugar
How sugar cravings form from an Ayurvedic standpoint
Simple remedies for sugar crashes
Spices that naturally support metabolic balance
Eating rhythms and lifestyle tools that strengthen agni
Practices to prevent toxins (ama) and emotional overload during the festive season

Whether you struggle with cravings, energy dips, or digestive heaviness this time of year, this episode offers grounded, practical support to help you stay balanced through the holidays.

Thanks for listening!
