Ep. 172 Embodied Nutrition with Claire Ragozzino

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!
