You are not here on this planet to get the perfect You are not here on this planet to get the perfect poo.

The study of Ayurveda is not JUST to figure out how to get good health and great digestion. 

The point of this school, and I think a life well lived, isn’t to eat perfectly and achieve flawless elimination…

The point of this practice is that we touch truth. 

Ayurveda goes beyond just the physical.

Ayurveda is about developing our psychospiritual digestion, our capacity to burn through our ignorance and confusion about who we really are. ❤️‍🔥

This smoothie is a little love letter to pitta sea This smoothie is a little love letter to pitta season. 🌿🥥 Bananas, coconut, mint and coconut water all help replenish fluids, soothe excess heat and nourish the tissues, while spinach adds additional minerals and cacao nibs bring in a hint of richness. 

I love to drink this as a mid-morning snack or afternoon pick-me-up on hot summer days. A cooler smoothie like this can dampen digestion if you have slow agni, so it’s best to drink it during peak pitta hours and avoid first thing in the morning or too late at night. 

This recipe is especially supportive for those experiencing classic pitta signs like feeling overheated, irritability, acid reflux or inflammatory skin flare-ups.

My Ayurveda is not built on rigid rules or impossi My Ayurveda is not built on rigid rules or impossible standards. Trust me, I’ve tried that. It doesn’t work.⁠
⁠
My Ayurveda is not about perfection, but it is about remembering that your food can be your medicine, and everything we take in is food. ⁠
⁠
My 30 years of study have taught me that Ayurveda must also meet the time, the place and the people in which it is living. ⁠
⁠
My Ayurveda is imperfect because it’s alive, it’s real and that’s what makes it holy.⁠
