In this episode, we explore the beautiful foundations of Ayurveda—India’s ancient science of life and longevity. You’ll learn about the five elements that form the building blocks of nature, how they combine into the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and why understanding your unique dosha makeup can be the key to better health and emotional balance.

We also look at one of Ayurveda’s most practical gifts: daily rhythm. Just like nature follows a rhythm, so do our bodies. You’ll hear how different times of day correspond to different doshas, and how aligning your activities—like waking, eating, and resting—with these natural energies can help you feel clearer, calmer, and more grounded.

Whether you're brand new to Ayurveda or revisiting its wisdom with fresh eyes, this short and simple guide will give you tools to bring more ease into your everyday life. Listen in to discover why balance begins with awareness—and how small shifts can have a big impact on your wellbeing.
