What if the path to feeling better wasn’t about learning more—but remembering what you already know? In this conversation with Ayurvedic practitioner Carly Banks, we explore how ancient wisdom meets modern health in simple, doable ways. You'll hear how to make Ayurveda incredibly approachable, how your energy might be tied to your dosha, and how tiny “pocket practices” can shift everything—even if you never take a supplement or memorize your mind-body type.

This episode is a permission slip to drop the shoulds and start trusting yourself again. No overwhelm required.

Key Takeaways

• You don’t have to overhaul your life to start using Ayurveda—it’s about tuning into what you already feel.
• Most “healthy” trends are helpful only if they’re right for your body and energy—Ayurveda helps you filter what’s for you.
• Pocket practices are the key: small, simple actions that restore energy, balance, and well-being. Think, TRUST in the TINY.
• Every dosha has beautiful strengths and specific imbalances; knowing yours helps you show up with more compassion.
• True rest requires less stimulation—not just fewer tasks, but fewer inputs like screens, books, and noise.

"The overall sense of a life well lived is the accumulation of the little ways that you treated yourself every single day." Carly Banks

DO of the DAY: Drop one “should.” Just one.

Pick a habit, a food, a trend, or a to-do that you’ve been doing because someone else told you to, and let it go. Try trusting yourself instead—and notice how that feels.
