The Week of January 11th: Easing Back In—A Quick Update on the Winter Season

We told you the Winter season would begin today—but life happened, and we're pushing our start to next Sunday, January 18th.

Here's the thing: we could have rushed it. But that's not how we want to show up for you.

And honestly? It's the first full week back from the holidays. You're probably still trying to find your footing. Remembering your routines. Digging out from everything that piled up. Wondering why you're so tired when you just had...

The Week of January 4th: Your Energy Fix Starts Now—Winter Season Preview

Something new begins January 11th.

We've been listening to what you've told us—the exhaustion, the frustration, the feeling that your body just isn't responding anymore. I'm exhausted—and nothing that used to work is working anymore. We hear you.

For the first five weeks of Winter, we're going deep on one topic: energy. Not the kind you chase with caffeine. Real, sustainable energy—the kind that comes from understanding how your body actually works. Your circadian rhythm. Your hormones. Your gut...

The Week of December 21st:

Eleven weeks of fall. You can feel every one of them.

The mental replaying of conversations. The decisions you're still second-guessing. The physical weight—not just from holidays, but from three months of accumulated tension sitting in your body. You want a fresh start, but underneath is the quiet knowing: you can't build something new on a cluttered foundation.

The winter solstice isn't just the shortest day of the year. It's a biological reset point—when your circadian rhythm is most disrupted and most receptive to recalibration. Research show...

The Week of December 15th:

Ten weeks of fall. You can feel every one of them.

That tightness across your shoulders that won't release no matter how much you stretch. The heaviness in your legs by evening—like they've been working all day even when you've been sitting. Your lower back aches. Your hips feel locked. And at night, even when you're exhausted, your body won't fully let go. You lie down but you don't sink in.

You're horizontal, but you're not resting.

Research shows that chronic stress cr...

The Week of December 7th:

December. Your digestion has been through it.

Two months of cold, dry Vata season. October's routine changes. Thanksgiving's feast. Holiday parties that haven't stopped. Now you feel it—heaviness that won't lift, bloating by noon, elimination that's unpredictable at best. Food just... sits there.

You've got three more weeks of December ahead. You can't do a restrictive cleanse right now. But you also can't drag this into winter.

In this week's Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi, Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi give you a si...

The Week of November 23rd:

This is it. This is the last week of November— peak Vata season. Cold, dry, windy, chaotic energy has been accumulating for two months. And your nervous system is already more reactive, more easily overstimulated, more on edge than it was in September.

And now it's also Thanksgiving week. Family is coming or you're traveling. The group texts started days ago. There's grief too— maybe an empty chair this year, a tradition that's changed, someone who's not here anymore. There's anxiety about hosting, about being hosted, about family dynamics you've been...

The Week of November 16th:

Thanksgiving is next week, kicking off the holiday parties, family celebrations, and meals. And if you're like most women in their 40s and 50s, you're already thinking about more than just the menu and travel logistics— you're thinking about how your digestive system will handle it.

A few years ago, you could eat Thanksgiving dinner, have pie, have wine, go back for seconds and feel fine. Now? One plate of rich food and you're bloated for three days. Your stomach feels distended. You can't button your pants comfortably. You're either ru...

The Week of November 9th:

Maybe this is you: Your usual workout---the one that gave you energy all summer and even into early October---now leaves you completely exhausted. You finish your run or your yoga class and you need to lie down. You actually need a nap.

Your knees might be aching when you go downstairs. You're staying sore for days after workouts that used to be easy just a few weeks ago.

And if you're exercising outside in the cold November air? Your body feels like it's moving through resistance that wasn't...

Week of November 2nd

This weekend, the clocks fell back one hour. Daylight saving time ended. And suddenly, it's dark by 5 p.m.--- right when you still have your whole evening ahead of you.

Maybe you've been waking up at 3 a.m. with your mind already racing. By 5 p.m. when darkness hits, your body wants to completely shut down. You're snapping at people over tiny things. You're sleeping more but somehow waking up feeling more exhausted. You feel like you're dragging yourself through each day.

You're not imagining it.

Week of October 26th:

This week, we're teaching you how to calm your cortisol loop—so you can stop feeling tired but wired, stop snapping at loved ones, and finally settle at night.

This month in October, you've been building your morning protocol one week at a time. But if you're still struggling with anxiety, brain fog, irritability, or that exhausted yet-on-edge feeling—your cortisol is stuck in an agitated loop. And this Paradox Week makes it worse: the moon is getting brighter, and days are shrinking fast with daylight saving ending this weekend. Your body...

The Week of October 19th

This week, we're telling you exactly what to eat—because the right breakfast can finally stop bloating, clear your skin, and calm PMS.

You've reset your morning light. You've timed your first meal. But if hormonal symptoms are still showing up, your gut bacteria are the missing link.

In this episode of Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi reveal why your estrobolome—the gut bacteria that process estrogen—either clears hormones from your body or sends them b...

Your morning routine is either building hormonal balance—or breaking it. As days shorten and Vata energy rises, your hormones are the first to feel it. That mid-morning crash, the bloating, the irritability you can't shake—they're not random. They're signals that cortisol and estrogen are misfiring.

In this episode of Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi reveal why how you start your morning determines whether your hormones work with you or against you all day long.

If you nailed your morning light last...

Fall doesn’t just happen outside—it happens inside your body. Shorter days, cooler winds, and shifting rhythms stir Vata energy: creativity when balanced, but anxiety, fatigue, and restless nights when not.

In this first fall episode of Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi reveal why morning light is the “ignition switch” for your hormones, mood, sleep, and focus—and how one simple practice can anchor your entire day.

If you’ve ever woken up foggy despite a full night’s sleep, or felt wired whe...
