September is such a threshold month in Ayurveda. 🍂 We begin to move into the cool, dry, mobile qualities of vata, which means many women start noticing more anxiety, dryness, irregular digestion, trouble sleeping or feeling a little less rooted. It’s time to lean into warmth and nourishment, and favor foods that build steadiness.⁠
⁠
(For my Southern Hemisphere ladies… you’re moving toward spring and increasing pitta, so your bodies may be craving lighter and more cooling support. ❤️)⁠
⁠
Some of my favorite September foods:⁠
⁠
• Lentil soup is warming, grounding and nourishing for digestion as the air turns cooler⁠
• Nuts bring healthy fats and density, helping counteract vata’s dry, light qualities⁠
• Ghee lubricates tissues, supports digestion and mitigates dryness⁠
• Cooking your apples makes them softer and easier to digest in autumn⁠
• Sweet potato is grounding and helps build stability in the nervous system⁠
• Onions help stimulate sluggish digestion as temperatures drop⁠
• Oats are heavy, warming and comforting, making them ideal for balancing early vata season⁠
• Garlic stimulates agni and helps keep digestion strong⁠
• Dates are sweet, building and nourishing for depleted energy and dryness⁠
• Potatoes provide grounding carbohydrates when paired with healthy fats and spices⁠
• Chicken is warming and strengthening, helping rebuild tissues and sustain energy⁠
• Sesame seeds are one of Ayurveda’s favorite foods for vata because of their oily, warming qualities⁠
• Carrots offer sweetness and earthiness while supporting nourishment through seasonal transition⁠
• Basmati rice is easy to digest and pairs well with warming spices during autumn⁠
• Salmon provides nourishing fats that help counter dryness in the skin, joints and nervous system⁠

You can also use apples, apricots, pears and cherr

You can also use apples, apricots, pears and cherries (as many fruits as you like!) in this beautifully warming winter fruit stew. Reserve the extra liquid for desserts, or even drink as a tea.

As September winds down in the Northern Hemisphere, Ayurveda reminds us that our digestion begins to shift along with the seasons. As vata starts to rise, agni (our digestive fire) can become a little more delicate, making this the perfect time to welcome in warm, cooked, gently spiced foods that nourish both the gut and the nervous system.

Sweet, sour and salty tastes become especially supportive right now because they help ground, hydrate and steady the body. This cozy stewed fruit recipe is one of my favorite ways to do that!

✨ Early Bird registration for our 2027 Level 1 Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification Training is now open. Comment AYURVEDASCHOOL to learn more or book a free call with one of our graduates.

We’ve been taught to chase healing like an endle

We’ve been taught to chase healing like an endless laundry list of ways to “fix” ourselves. ⁠
⁠
But nervous system regulation doesn’t come from doing more…it comes from being with what’s here.⁠
⁠
If you’ve been feeling amped, anxious or like your nervous system’s running on fumes, I FEEL YOU. ⁠
⁠
And you’re not alone. ⁠
⁠
But the truth is: your body was never meant to live in fight-or-flight all the time. ⁠
⁠
What is more, have you ever noticed that you feel GUILTY about feeling out of whack? ⁠
⁠
It’s like a double whammy to the soul (and the nervous system). ⁠
⁠
Here’s what I want us all to remember: your nervous system isn’t broken.�⁠
⁠
It’s just overwhelmed. Overcooked. Overlooked. I know you, because I AM you. ⁠
⁠
Here are a few new ways I’ve been helping myself calm down from the inside out:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ 🌬 Low-belly breath and minerals in my water before coffee. Two minutes. Hands on your womb. Feel the exhale lengthen. Drink water BEFORE caffeine in the AM. ⁠
⁠
2️⃣ 🌿 Warm and wet heals everything. Warm water, warm foods, warm embraces and warm words to yourself.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ 💃 Micro-movement = macro-shift. Roll your shoulders. Circle your hips. Shake for 60 seconds. ⁠
⁠
4️⃣ 🕯 Create a micro-altar. Light a candle. Put a sticky note on it. Whatever it takes to find moments of intention.⁠
⁠
5️⃣ 💗 Replace self-fixing with LOVING the ever loving heck out of this incarnation. You don’t need another plan. You need presence and love dropping down into your flesh like HONEY. ⁠
⁠
With love,�Katie⁠
