Welcome to this special bonus episode of the How to Take Care of Yourself Podcast! With New Year’s resolutions in full swing, diet advice is everywhere—and most of it’s overwhelming and contradictory. So, I’m cutting through the noise to bring you practical, timeless tips rooted in Ayurveda to help you create a sustainable, nourishing relationship with food.
In this episode, we explore:

The concept of Agni (digestive fire)—what it is, why it matters, and how to keep it burning bright.
How to sync your meals with seasonal rhythms for optimal health.
The importance of eating mindfully and the game-changing "burp" cue.
Why smoothies and raw salads might not be the health foods you think they are.
Simple, delicious meal ideas to ground and nourish you in winter.
