    Have you ever noticed cravings sneak up when you’re stressed, tired, or at the change of a season?

In this episode, Colette explores: The Ayurvedic view of cravings through the six tastes (rasa)How doshic imbalances (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) shape what we craveThe difference between true nourishment and false cravingsWhy ultra-processed foods disrupt our natural signalsHow an Ayurvedic cleanse rekindles Agni and resets your palateThe emotional side of cravings - samskaras, habits, and food as comfortPractical tips to integrate into everyday life with mindful eating, seasonal foods, and gratitude ✨ Special Invitation ✨ If you’d like to experience this reset for yourself, join my upcoming Group Digestive Reset Cleanse starting October 3rd.

  • Five Habits That Affect Digestion and How Ayurveda Resets Them - 407

    Five Habits That Affect Digestion and How Ayurveda Resets Them - 407
    Aug 28 2025
    When most of us think about improving digestion, we focus on food choices, what to eat and what to avoid. But Ayurveda teaches us that how and when we eat, along with our daily lifestyle habits, are just as important for keeping agni (digestive fire) strong and preventing ama (toxins). In this episode, Colette explores five often-overlooked habits that quietly weaken digestion over time and shares simple Ayurvedic fixes to reset them. These shifts may seem small, but they can have a profound effect on energy, immunity, and overall wellbeing. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: Why agni thrives on rhythm and how irregular eating times throw digestion off track How emotional stress diverts energy away from healthy digestion The hidden impact of late-night screen use on your body’s natural repair cycles Why even “healthy” foods can cause ama when combined improperly How eating out of sync with the seasons creates imbalance and what to do instead You’ll also hear practical, before-and-after lifestyle examples to help you notice where these patterns might be showing up in your own life. * If you’re ready for deeper support and motivated to do an all-in-one reset, then come join the discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse starting October 3rd, which addresses all five of these areas at once. This guided group cleanse includes a 90-minute online consultation so I can tailor the program to your unique needs and lifestyle.
