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: Pitta Health Rx —

You've been carrying frustration all fall. And you may not even realize it.

The project that didn't go as planned. The person who let you down. Your driven Pitta nature holds onto "it should have been different" energy. Resentment. Self-criticism. The heat of unmet expectations.

This week's prescription: A two-part clearing ritual—morning light walk and evening release journaling—designed to finally cool what's been building all season.

The Week of December 15th: Pitta Health Rx -

Ten weeks of fall. You've pushed through every one of them.

You don't look stressed. You're still performing, still delivering, still getting it done. But underneath? Fire. Tension behind your eyes. Jaw clenched. That sharp, driven energy that won't turn off—even when you need it to.

Your body has been accumulating. And surrender doesn't come naturally to you.

This week's prescription: Legs Up the Wall + Extended Exhale breathing. 10 minutes. Every evening. The pose cools. The breath softens. Your nervous system finally ge...

The Week of December 7th: Pitta Health Rx —

Let's be honest. Your gut is hot, acidic, angry. Heartburn at night. Burning elimination. Urgency. Skin breakouts. You wake at 3am feeling hot and agitated.

You never cleared summer's heat. Then stress and December's rich foods added more. Your liver is overwhelmed.

This week's prescription: WARM (not hot) CCF tea with turmeric—clearing inflammation without adding more heat.

The Week of November 23rd: Pitta Health Rx —

If you're a Pitta type, Thanksgiving week is about managing one thing: heat rising into anger.

You're worried that when someone says something triggering, you're going to snap. You'll say something sharp and cutting that you can't take back. You'll feel the heat rising, literally feel your face flush, your chest tighten, and you won't be able to stop yourself from expressing it.

Because here's what's probably already happening: You're irritated. Frustrated. Someone's late again, the plan keeps changing, people aren't thinking things through. Critical th...

The Week of November 16th: Pitta Health Rx

If you're a Pitta type, Thanksgiving week kicks off the holiday season— and with all the parties, family celebrations, and rich foods ahead, managing inflammation becomes critical.

You're worried that one night of rich food and alcohol will trigger days of heartburn, acid reflux, and that burning sensation in your stomach and chest that won't go away. You know from experience that when Pitta gets imbalanced, your gut becomes inflamed— -and it's not just uncomfortable, it's burning.

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

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

For Pitta types, maybe this is what's happening: You're maintaining your summer workout intensity---the same classes, the same training schedule, the same competitive drive. And your joints hurt---not just sore, but inflamed. Hot, swollen, tender. Your knees, your hips, maybe your shoulders.

You're finishing your workouts feeling accomplished, feeling like you checked the box. But then you're irritable with your partner or your kids afterward. Someone asks you a simple question and you snap. Your child interrupts and you're short with them. You're efficient and productive...

Week of November 2nd

For Pitta types, the time change makes you irritable and reactive. You wake up frustrated before your feet even hit the floor. When 5 p.m. darkness hits, your body wants to wind down but you still have so much to do, so you override that signal and push through. 

This is your Pitta system— running hot and intense— getting pushed further out of balance.

Week of October 26th:

For Pitta types, your nervous system runs on maximum heat. You wake up ready to tackle the day but find yourself snapping at the people you love, efficient and productive but also sharp and reactive. This agitation shows up most in Love & Connection—you're irritable with your partner, short with your kids, competent but not present.

In this week's 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 e...

The Week of October 19th

For Pitta types, fall still carries summer's heat—and it shows up as acid reflux, inflamed skin breakouts, digestive irritation, and painful periods. Your estrobolome can't clear estrogen when inflammation is running high, and the wrong breakfast makes it worse.

In this week's 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 cooling oatmeal with almond milk, cardamom, cooked apple, blueberries, and almonds—plus a hard...

The Week of October 12th

For Pitta types, fall mornings often start with heat that never cooled overnight. You go to bed on time, wake on schedule—but if your mind was still churning from yesterday, you wake irritable, tense, or with reflux. By mid-morning, you're sharp but reactive, focused but inflamed.

In this week's Pitta Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why uncooled Pitta fire disrupts your cortisol curve—and how skipping hydration and eating the wrong foods first thing amplifies inflammation, skin flares, and...

The Week of October 5th

For Pitta types, fall mornings often carry heat from the night before—leaving you irritable, restless, or foggy despite discipline around bedtime.

In this week’s Pitta Health Rx, Drs. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Tanmeet Sethi explain how leftover fire disrupts your cortisol awakening response, scattering focus and productivity—and how a simple cooling prescription resets clarity.
