Ep. 172 Embodied Nutrition with Claire Ragozzino

Spirit Sessions Podcast Guest for website (5)

This week Katie chats with certified Ayurveda Counselor and yoga teacher Claire Ragozzino about all things embodied nutrition. They go beyond the typical Ayurvedic food rules and Dosha food lists into the deeper realm of our senses and intuition. Learn why “intuitive eating” isn’t best for everyone all the time and a simple practice that you can do to become more embodied as you prepare your next meal!

We eat about 1,095 meals a year! After this conversation, you’ll be able to use each of those meals as an opportunity to reconnect with your body and cultivate self-love!

In this episode you’ll hear:

~ Level 1 Ayurveda School is still open for registration! Join us to learn more from Claire and our other amazing Ayurvedic cooking and nutrition teachers. Doors are closing soon and won't reopen until 2025, don't miss out this year!

~ What is embodied nutrition?

~ Can Ayurveda exacerbate eating disorders?

~ Why you should trust your intuition over the “food rules”

~ How to tune into your intuition when choosing foods and eating

~ Why doesn’t intuitive eating work for everyone?

~ Why being more rigid and disciplined is often not the answer

~ The importance of compassion and curiosity when approaching food

A few things you should definitely know about our A few things you should definitely know about our Ayurvedic Wellness Coach certification program (that we lovingly call “Ayurveda School” for short): 

1) It’s not just for women who want to become coaches. It’s also a vehicle for personal healing and spiritual learning (Cynthia is proof - take it from her!). 

2) One of the most potent ways to get from where you are now to where you wanna’ be in the future is the power of proximity - and Ayurveda School is the place for that. This program is THE place to find genuine relationships with other women on the soul-spelunking journey or boss-babes running full-time wellness businesses. Guaranteed, you’ll meet someone who is doing what YOU want to be doing in the future if you seek those connections out. 💞

3) Ayurveda School isn’t an online course. It’s a living, breathing, connected community of women. It’s a feminine-form school where you’ll meet LIVE, face-to-face with luminary teachers and other inspired ladies like yourself every week, where you’ll make friends and biz connections that will last a lifetime. 

For my gals that already know you want to join us for our upcoming 2026 class - now is the time to register with the maximum savings (earlybird pricing = $500 off) plus a special love-gift, all the books you needed for class, on us ($200 value)! 

Only four more of these bonus spots remain! Register now and get all of your books, signed by yours truly, straight to your doorstep. 📚🪄 

🦋Thank you @cynthia_amaro__ for always sharing from the heart and reflecting the true essence of The Shakti School out into the world.

Your inner child is like… wait, you’re being N Your inner child is like… wait, you’re being NICE to me now?? 😅⁠
⁠
Here’s the thing. If you don’t know where to start with giving your inner self a little more love, just start with presence.⁠
⁠
Presence is relationship gold. The ability to be present makes you a better friend, parent, lover and co-worker. It is also the channel through which we can achieve deeper levels of relationship (and yes, that includes our relationship with ourselves). As we are more present with ourselves, it becomes natural to be more present with others. And we all know how good it feels to be with someone who is deeply present with us.⁠
⁠
Try applying this practice to your little inner self today. 🫀
Women's sacred healing wisdom has often lived behi Women's sacred healing wisdom has often lived behind closed doors throughout our collective global history. At The Shakti School, we’re reclaiming that lineage and offering a space for women to feel and heal in ways that honor our intrinsic Knowing. ⁠
⁠
A feminine-form approach to health isn’t about finding and fixing what’s “wrong” with you–it’s about getting back in touch with the fact that you’re already whole, and then approaching your holistic well-being from that place.⁠
⁠
If you’re ready to start reclaiming your inner wisdom, sign up for our free mini course. You’ll learn the foundations of feminine-form Ayurveda and even start experiencing it in your body–comment “WISDOM” to access this 3+ hour video series with Katie now. 🔥🌹
Your cheat sheet for those “what the heck do I m Your cheat sheet for those “what the heck do I make for dinner” nights is here. These easy, go-to combos will get kapha moving - while still tasting good, of course. 😉🥦⁠
⁠
Here are a few more quick ways to shake up your kapha as we get through these last couple of weeks before pitta season starts heating up! (That is, depending on where you live. ☀️)⁠
⁠
🌿 Toss fresh parsley or cilantro on everything and anything.⁠
⁠
🌶️ Enjoy all the spices (kapha doesn’t discriminate when it comes to the spice cabinet!).⁠
⁠
🫖 Sip on spicy-bitter teas like ginger, tulsi or dandelion.⁠
⁠
Are you starting to feel the heat of pitta season creeping in, or is it still kapha-dominated where you live?
We all need an inner grounding force that helps us We all need an inner grounding force that helps us remain unwavering when the outer world feels chaotic, and a REAL community that helps us feel just a little less crazy when everything is hitting the fan. 🌪️🪐✨

That’s why I love that through our school, women create real-life connections with one another and honor their relationship with the sacred through our weekly sessions. 

P.S. Have you heard!? We’re giving away all the books you’ll need for Ayurveda School in 2026 only to the next few ladies who register (only a few spots left for this bonus!). (Yeah, that’s over $200 worth of heart and smart-packed material, including signed copies of my books, Healthy, Happy, Sexy and Glow-Worthy, the Textbook of Ayurveda by Dr. Lad and your beautiful Shakti School Level 1 manual!) 🌹

We know some of you are already committed for 2026 so we wanna’ give you this extra little gift when you say yes now! Jump in now and let’s make this the year you finally answer that nudge. ✨📖
