Ayurveda, Vata Burnout & The Power of Simple Food: A Fall Reflection on Rhythm, Roots & Returning to Self

Quote from Episode:

“The only one who knows all the answers is you… Ayurveda just teaches you how to come back home.” — Bridge Ochoa

Show Notes:

In this Fall-season episode, Nicholas and Bridge unravel what happens when Vata winds, Pitta heat, grief anniversaries, and nonstop teaching collide. From the hollow, scattered feeling that marks Vata burnout to the grounding truth of Kapha nature, they break down how seasonal extremes, hot yoga, talking, and work rhythm can leave the mind racing faster than the mouth. Bridge offers a practitioner’s lens on vikṛti-first care, balancing cold, dry qualities with oil, warmth, spices, and simplicity. Together they explore the power of three hot meals, root vegetables, antidoting bitter veggies with oils and carminatives, and why Americans are conditioned to fear salt, oil, and real nourishment.


They also challenge the culture’s obsession with protein, question wellness fads, and return everything to Ayurveda’s core teaching: food is medicine, simplicity is wisdom, and you are the expert of you.

If you’re feeling scattered, depleted, or untethered this season, this episode is a deep exhale back into yourself.
