Ayurveda & the Art of Simplicity: Diwali, Doshas & the Return to Rhythm

Quote from Episode:

“It’s so simple. But just because something is simple doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.” — Bridge Ochoa


Show Notes:

In this New Moon Diwali episode, Nicholas and Bridge celebrate light over darkness through the lens of Ayurveda—how rhythm, food, and presence become medicine. What begins as a chat about Maryland bridges and family roots flows into a grounded talk on doshas, misused online quizzes, and the real art of assessment through pulse, observation, and conversation. They share insights from Dr. Vasant Lad, contrast Western and Ayurvedic diagnostics, and explore why disease can’t be treated with a one-size-fits-all model.


Bridge recalls healing a client’s chronic UTIs with wheatgrass, while Nicholas opens up about grief, daily structure, and rediscovering health through simple rituals: three warm meals, a clean kitchen, and faith in small progress.

If you’ve felt ungrounded or overcomplicating wellness, this episode is your gentle return to the altar of simplicity.
