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 15th: Vata-Pitta Health Rx -

Ten weeks of fall. You can feel it in your mind and your muscles.

Racing thoughts that won't quit. Tension behind your eyes. Shoulders locked. You're wired but tired—exhausted yet unable to power down.

Your Vata side is scattered. Your Pitta side is still driving. Together, they forgot there's an off switch.

This week's prescription: Legs Up the Wall + Extended Exhale breathing. 10 minutes. Every evening. The pose grounds you. The breath cools the sharp mind.

The Week of December 7th: Vata-Pitta Health Rx —

Your digestion is swinging between two extremes. Yesterday– constipated, today– running to the bathroom. Acid reflux when stressed. Bloating that feels hot and distended.

Fall dried out your Vata side while stress inflamed your Pitta side. It's like a dry forest that's also on fire.

This week's prescription: Warm CCF tea with ghee and extra coriander—lubricating dryness while cooling inflammation.

The Week of November 23rd: Vata-Pitta Health Rx —

If you're a Vata-Pitta type, Thanksgiving week hits you from two directions at once– -anxiety and anger simultaneously.

You're worried that when stress hits, you're going to feel both spinning with worry AND hot with irritation. Someone changes the plan again and you feel anxious about the chaos but also frustrated that no one's being efficient. You'll be caught between wanting to control everything and feeling scattered about everything.

Because here's what's probably already happening: Your mind is racing about logistics and what could go wron...

The Week of November 16th: Vata-Pitta Health Rx

If you're a Vata-Pitta type, Thanksgiving week kicks off the holiday season— and with all the parties, family celebrations, and rich foods ahead, your digestion faces a specific challenge.

You're worried that the rich holiday meal will trigger either heartburn and acidity, or bloating and gas— or somehow both at the same time. You know from experience that when stress hits, your gut becomes reactive. And holiday gatherings bring stress.

Because here's what's probably happening already: Some days you have strong digestive fire and you're rave...

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

For Vata-Pitta types, maybe this is what's happening: You push through your intense workout---your HIIT class, your hard run, your competitive class where you're trying to keep up---and afterward, you feel wired and hot. Your body temperature is elevated, you're flushed, and your mind is racing, but not in a productive way. It's more agitated. More reactive.

Your joints ache AND they feel inflamed. There's heat in them---hot, swollen, tender. You have trouble cooling down after workouts---you're still sweating 20 minutes later, still feeling overheated. And your...

Week of November 2nd

For Vata-Pitta types, the time change creates agitated energy— restless and reactive at the same time. You wake up with your mind already racing, but with heat behind those thoughts. Frustration. Irritation. When 5 p.m. darkness hits, you feel restless yet reactive. At night, your mind won't turn off AND your body feels too hot.

This is your Vata-Pitta nervous system— running both fast and hot— getting knocked further out of balance.

Week of October 26th:

For Vata–Pitta types, your nervous system runs too fast and too hot. You wake up with racing thoughts that quickly turn into irritability, your mind won't stop spinning but you also feel heat building underneath. This agitation shows up most in your Mind & Mood—overthinking everything, snapping at people, unable to calm down.

In this week's Vata–Pitta Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi go deeper into the Cooling Sheetali Breath practice from Week 1—teaching you the nuances that make it even mor...

The Week of October 19th

For Vata–Pitta types, fall brings constipation that alternates with urgency, bloating mixed with sharp discomfort, skin that's both inflamed and unpredictable, and anxiety that turns into irritability. Your estrobolome is misfiring—and you're caught between Vata's dryness and Pitta's heat.

In this week's Vata–Pitta 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 milk, cinnamon, fennel, cooked apple, and ghee—plus a hard-b...

The Week of October 12th

For Vata–Pitta types, fall mornings often start fast and burn out faster. You wake with fire and clarity, skip water and breakfast because you're "not hungry yet," grab coffee, and plow through your to-do list—until mid-morning when focus tanks, patience thins, and the energy you started with crashes hard.

In this week's Vata–Pitta Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why skipping hydration and eating before your digestion is ready sends cortisol surging—and then crashing—taking your productivi...

The Week of October 5th

For Vata–Pitta types, fall can feel like gas and brakes pressed at the same time: restless at night, overstimulated in the morning, and drained by midday.

In this week’s Vata–Pitta Health Rx, Drs. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Tanmeet Sethi reveal how inconsistent sleep and Pitta drive destabilize your cortisol awakening response—and how one evidence-backed practice cools fire, steadies wind, and restores strength.
