Ayurveda for Hormonal Balance: Adapt or Agitate in the Age of Hustle

Ayurveda for Hormonal Balance: Adapt or Agitate in the Age of Hustle

In this episode of Ayurveda Digested, Nicholas and Bridge flow through a lively (and delightfully Vata-influenced) conversation exploring how modern life affects our doshic balance—especially during seasonal transitions, hormonal shifts, and the everyday demands of womanhood, work, and wellness.

The duo explores:

  • 🌱 How Spring Aggravates Kapha and how Pitta quietly builds underneath

  • 🥒 Ayurvedic cooling foods like zucchini and spelt for Pitta pacification

  • 💡 The difference between individual constitutions and collective advice

  • 🌀 Postpartum, menopause, and pregnancy as unique journeys of hormonal upheaval—and why they're rarely supported the way Ayurveda intended

  • 📱 The surprising ways motivational marketing & social media drive Pitta overload and disconnect us from our true nature

  • 🧘‍♀️ Why adaptation—not perfection—is the highest Ayurvedic intelligence

  • 💫 How to live as a student of Ayurveda, always learning, always adjusting

Through humor, reflection, and real-life examples, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that your lived experience is valid, and the most important medicine is self-awareness.
