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: Vata Health Rx —

Every unfinished conversation. Every open loop. Every "what if" that never resolved.

Eleven weeks of Vata season—and your mind has been spinning with it. Racing thoughts at 3am. Starting things you didn't finish. The winter solstice is nature's invitation to finally empty that mental drawer.

This week's prescription: A two-part clearing ritual—morning light walk and evening release journaling—designed to clear what you've been carrying before the new year begins.

The Week of December 15th: Vata Health Rx -

Ten weeks of fall. You can feel it everywhere.

That buzzing that won't stop. Restless legs. Racing thoughts the moment you lie down. You're exhausted—but you can't settle.

Cold, dry Vata season scattered your nervous system. It learned to stay on. Now it's forgotten how to turn off.

This week's prescription: Legs Up the Wall + Extended Exhale breathing. 10 minutes. Every evening. Simple and grounding.

The Week of December 7th: Vata Health Rx —

Your gut feels like a dried riverbed. Small, hard stools. Days without going. Gas that gurgles and shifts around your belly. Nothing flowing smoothly.

Two months of Vata season dried out your already-dry constitution. Add perimenopause, slowing digestion by 30%? Your gut is carrying all of it.

This week's prescription: Hot CCF tea with ghee or olive oil—rehydrating dried intestinal walls and lubricating from inside.

The Week of November 23rd: Vata Health Rx —

If you're a Vata type, Thanksgiving week brings a specific kind of stress response— not anger, but panic.

You're worried that when family dynamics get tense, you're going to spiral into anxiety. Your mind will start racing with worst-case scenarios. You won't be able to think straight. You'll feel scattered and overwhelmed and want to escape.

Because here's what's probably already happening: Your mind is spinning before anything has even gone wrong. You're lying awake at night thinking about everything that could happen. What if they...

The Week of November 16th: Vata Health Rx

If you're a Vata type, Thanksgiving week kicks off the holiday season— and with all the parties, family celebrations, and rich foods ahead, you have specific digestive concerns.

You're worried that one big meal— all that rich, heavy food— will shut your system down for days. You'll be bloated, backed up, uncomfortable through the whole weekend. And you know from experience that when your digestion gets thrown off, it takes days to get it back on track.

Because here's what's probably happening already: Your digestion is com...

The Week of November 9th: Vata Health Rx ---

For Vata types, maybe this is what's happening: Your yoga class or morning run---the one that used to calm you down---is now making you MORE anxious instead of calmer. You finish your workout and instead of feeling centered, you feel jittery. Scattered. Your mind is racing even more than before.

Your joints feel dry and creaky. Unstable. Like they need oil. You're sore for days after workouts that should be relatively gentle. And here's the confusing part---you're exhausted in the afternoons after morning workouts, but your...

Week of November 2nd

For Vata types, the time change feels like losing your anchor. Your whole day feels off— forgetting what you were about to do, losing your train of thought, starting three things and finishing none. When 5 p.m. darkness hits, you feel scattered and restless, moving but accomplishing nothing. Your mind won't turn off at night, or you wake at 2 or 3 a.m. with thoughts already spinning.

Your Vata nervous system— already naturally variable— loses its grounding when the rhythm shifts.

In this week's Vata Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ay...

Week of October 26th:

For Vata types, your nervous system rattles from the start. You wake up anxious, your mind races all day, and you can't settle at night even though you're exhausted. This agitation shows up most in your Mind & Mood—scattered thoughts, spiraling anxiety, a system that won't calm down.

In this week's Vata Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi go deeper into the Oil Massage practice from Week 1—teaching you the nuances that make it even more powerful at calming your agitated nervous syst...

The Week of October 19th

For Vata types, fall mornings bring gas, irregular bowels, bloating that comes out of nowhere, and skin breakouts that flare around your cycle. Your gut bacteria—your estrobolome—aren't clearing estrogen the way they should, and fall's dryness is making it worse.

In this week's Vata Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain exactly why this matters and exactly what to eat to fix it.

This week, eat warm oatmeal with ghee, cinnamon, stewed dates, and flaxseed—plus a hard-b...

The Week of October 12th

For Vata types, fall mornings can feel like starting the day already behind. You wake up, skip water, maybe grab coffee, dive into your inbox—and by 10 a.m., you're anxious, scattered, and exhausted. You started three things but finished none.

In this week's Vata Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why forgetting to hydrate and skipping breakfast sends your cortisol—and your focus—into chaos.

The Week of October 5th
