Ayurveda, Intuition & Embodied Wisdom: On Hips, Hamstrings, Healing & Honoring Your Path

Quote from Episode:

“Food is foundational. We treat the doṣa, not the symptom — and the answers always come from within.” — Bridge Ochoa

“Ayurveda wasn’t made for anyone specific. It was brought to the world to help end suffering.” — Nicholas Wade Kimps


Show Notes:

In this spacious, story-rich episode, Nicholas and Bridge explore the meeting point between Ayurveda, intuition, and the wisdom of the body. What begins with a breakthrough hip release in firelog pose expands into a conversation about how emotions live in tissues, why hamstrings often hold fear, and how alignment in the pelvis can unlock far more than mobility. From postpartum hips to ancestral folk medicine, they trace how lived experience shapes healing.

The conversation widens into the heart of Ayurveda: vikṛti-first care, simple food before herbs, and the importance of understanding your doṣa rather than outsourcing authority. Nicholas and Bridge unpack spiritual ego, the pressure to prove legitimacy through lineage, and why true practice is relational—not performative. They close with a reminder that intuition guides everything from your grocery list to your business decisions.

If you’ve ever questioned your path, doubted your training, or felt called back to simplicity, this episode is a grounding return to your own inner knowing. And as a simple reminder: You Don’t Need a Badge to Belong!
