004: Ayurvedic Cooking for Digestion, Balance & the Six Tastes
✨ Discover how Ayurvedic cooking can transform your digestion, energy, and emotional balance — starting from your plate.
What does it really mean to eat Ayurvedically? In this episode, I explore the ancient principles of Ayurvedic cooking to support optimal digestion, mental clarity, and lasting vitality — without rigid rules or restriction.
🌿 You’ll learn about the Six Tastes — sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent — and how they correspond to the five elements and your doshic constitution.
🍲 We’ll explore how to eat with the seasons, how to time meals for stronger digestion, and how to turn food into a ritual of self-healing.
🎧 In this episode:
• Ayurvedic meal timing for digestion
• What to eat in each season (Kapha, Pitta, Vata)
• Cooking as a spiritual practice
• The role of meat and milk in Ayurvedic protocols
• Using the Six Tastes to restore balance
💫 Whether you're new to Ayurveda or deepening your healing journey, this episode will help you create more harmony through what you eat, how you eat, and how you feel.
