The Simple Ayurveda Podcast

Caffeine and alcohol are two of the biggest triggers for elevating pitta dosha. In this episode I get personal about my own journey with alcohol and why I'll be sober this summer.

This episode is a chat with my very first yoga teacher, Diana Vitarelli from Dhyana Yoga in Philadelphia. She has been teaching yoga for 25+ years and it was during my first yoga teacher training with her in 2011 that the seed of Ayurveda was planted in my mind. We talk about everything from life purpose, Brene Brown and shame/vulnerability, yoga and Ayurveda in everyday life, cutting yourself some slack and coffee.

Hadas Knox is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and author (her book is The Holistic Antidepressant Diet). She's also a toddler mama. We chat about TCM and the seasons, intuitive eating, conscious consumerism and using food as medicine to heal emotional issues. She is a wealth of knowledge and compassion.

This episode is a Q & A session based on your questions. Topics include basic kitchen staples, figuring out ways to handle when family members don't want to eat Ayurvedic foods, thoughts on tofu and gauging how much commitment you really need to Ayurvedic eating.

Leslie Genchi is a clinical herbalist based out of Orange County, California. We chat about wild plants as nourishing herbs, juicing as a powerful depletion therapy, the Ayurvedic way to use fresh juices, astro herbalism and more. She has a powerful relationship with the plant world that is absolutely contagious.

Meet Hilary. She's been practicing Ayurveda for 20+ years and lives a simple farm life on Vancouver Island in Canada. We chat about her No Spend year, how she meal plans with the weather in mind, reducing food waste and modifying Ayurveda for everyday life. She is truly a simple living inspiration.

Kira is a maternal wellness coach that helps women drop the guilt and worry of motherhood and step into flow and ease. We chat about postpartum health, hormonal balance, depletion, fertility & miscarriage as well as the sacred pause and conscious parenting.

This is in response to a question from the Simple Ayurveda Community. I share some of the household items I use to make practicing Ayurveda easier as well as why I firmly believe less is more.

This one is a little bit personal. I share some doubts I've had about Ayurveda and why I'm over them as well as some of my own mistakes along the path of wellness. I also talk about why some Ayurveda is better than none and how I'm over trying to get Ayurveda "right." I hope you'll join in this journey of imperfect Ayurveda.
