01: Intro to Ayurveda and Why Your Dosha Doesn't Matter So Much

In this podcast episode, Kate O'Donnell, an expert in Ayurveda, delves into the fundamentals of this traditional Indian healing system. Kate explains the importance of understanding the four aspects of life: the physical body, the mental field, the senses, and the soul. Kate also discusses the role of the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space) and the three doshas (vata, pitta, kapha) in maintaining bodily balance. Emphasizing the impact of seasonal changes on health, they offer practical dietary and lifestyle adjustments to address imbalances. The episode underscores the individualized nature of Ayurveda and its holistic approach to wellness.Mentioned in this episode:This episode is sponsored by Acknowledge, makers of full-spectrum hemp tinctures grown on a regenerative organic farm.
