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: Kapha Health Rx —

You've been holding more than you realize.

The things you didn't say. The emotions you stuffed down because others needed you to be strong. Kapha accumulates grief—and this fall, you've been absorbing everyone else's energy on top of it.

This week's prescription: A two-part clearing ritual—morning light walk and evening release journaling—that finally gives your steady, holding nature permission to let go.

Why Kapha holds grief and attachment—and how fall amplified the heavinessThe morning light + co...

The Week of December 15th: Kapha Health Rx -

Ten weeks of fall. You've been holding more than you realize.

That heaviness in your chest. The weight on your shoulders. Emotions that haven't had space to move. You're tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix—like something deep needs to release, but you don't know how.

Your steady, strong body has been absorbing the whole season. Now it's time to let go.

This week's prescription: Legs Up the Wall + Extended Exhale breathing. 10 minutes. Every evening. No pushing. No forcing. Gravity do...

The Week of December 7th: Kapha Health Rx —

Everything has gotten heavier. Stickier. Slower. You eat breakfast and still feel it at dinner. Stools are mucus-covered. Tongue coating is thick. You could sleep for hours after lunch.

Your already-slow digestion hit hibernation mode. Food ferments instead of digesting.

This week's prescription: HOT CCF tea with ginger, lime, AND black pepper—strong medicine to break through months of stagnation.

Why gentle approaches won't work for your gutThe ginger-black pepper combination that increases metabolismThe 7-day protocol that lifts the...

The Week of November 23rd: Kapha Health Rx —

If you're a Kapha type, your stress response this week looks completely different from everyone else's. You're not losing your cool, you're shutting down.

You're worried that when family dynamics get intense, you're going to go numb. You'll withdraw, disappear to your room, check out emotionally. You won't be able to access your feelings or find words. You'll just feel heavy, flat, stuck— and guilty that you can't engage the way you want to.

Because here's what's probably already happening: You're not anxious or irritated. You...

The Week of November 16th: Kapha Health Rx

If you're a Kapha type, Thanksgiving week brings a real concern: complete digestive shutdown.

You're worried that one big, heavy meal will make you feel like you've swallowed a brick. Everything will slow down— digestion stops, energy crashes, you just want to lie on the couch and not move. And you know from experience that when your system shuts down like this, it takes days to get things moving again.

Because here's what's probably happening already: Your digestion runs slow. You don't have strong hunger si...

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

For Kapha types, maybe this is what's happening: When it's cold and dark---like it is now in November---you don't want to move at all. And once you stop moving? It's nearly impossible to start again. Every day that passes without exercise makes it harder to begin.

Your body feels heavy, sluggish, thick---like you're moving through molasses. You're sleeping more---hitting snooze multiple times, going to bed earlier, maybe even napping during the day---but you're feeling MORE tired, not less. Your metabolism feels completely stuck. Nothing's moving in...

Week of November 2nd

For Kapha types, the time change makes you want to hibernate. You slept in— maybe a lot. When you finally woke up, you felt more tired than when you went to bed. Heavy. You hit snooze three, four, five times. When 5 p.m. darkness hits, you completely shut down– and maybe fall asleep for an hour or two. You wake up at 7 or 8 p.m. feeling even heavier and foggier.

This isn't restorative rest. This is stagnation.

Week of October 26th:

For Kapha types, your nervous system won't start in the morning—your washing machine barely registers when you press the start button. You wake up heavy and foggy, your mind stays dull, and you can't motivate yourself to engage with the day. This agitation shows up most in Growth & Learning—you can't focus, you feel stuck in a stagnant mood, unmotivated to learn or grow.

In this week's Kapha Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi go deeper into the Brisk Movement practice from...

The Week of October 19th

For Kapha types, fall brings sluggish digestion, heavy periods with clotting, slow bowel movements, stubborn weight gain, and lethargy that never lifts. Your estrobolome can't clear estrogen when everything is moving too slowly—and heavy breakfasts make it worse.

In this week's Kapha 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, wait for true hunger, then eat scrambled eggs with spinach, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, and le...

The Week of October 12th

For Kapha types, fall mornings can feel like moving through mud. You sleep long but wake tired, hit snooze, skip water, and drag through the first few hours—your energy never quite kicks in. Even after coffee, the fog lingers, and motivation feels just out of reach.

In this week's Kapha Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why eating too early or too heavy blunts your cortisol rise—keeping you sluggish, unmotivated, and mentally dull all day.

The Week of October 5th

Kapha mornings can feel like moving through wet clay—slow, heavy, and hard to get momentum. Even with long sleep, energy may lag, and the day starts behind.
