33. Ayurvedic Nutrition Explained: The Seven Tissues & How Food Becomes Your Body
2026/10/21
Today on the podcast, Brittni and Rita explore one of the most fascinating and foundational concepts in Ayurvedic nutrition — the seven tissues, known in Sanskrit as the Seven Dhatus. From lymph and blood to muscle, fat, bone, nervous system tissue, and reproductive organs, each layer of tissue in the body has its own nutritional needs, its own elemental qualities, and its own way of showing up in your symptoms when something is off. In this episode they break down what each tissue needs to thrive, how food moves through each layer sequentially over 35 days, and why understanding this framework can completely transform how you think about nutrition, digestion, and healing. Highlights: What the seven tissues are and why Ayurveda considers this framework the foundation of truly individualized nutritionHow food becomes your body — the fascinating 35-day journey from your plate to your deepest tissuesWhy two people can eat the exact same diet and have completely different results — and what that actually means for your healthWhat your hair, skin, nails, teeth, energy, and menstrual cycle are really telling you about which tissues need supportThe specific foods that nourish each tissue — and why healthy fats, minerals, and building foods are just as important as proteinWhy digestion is the missing piece — and how even the most nutritious diet won’t reach your tissues if your Agni isn’t strongThe connection between tissue depletion and symptoms like painful periods, bone issues, nervous system imbalances, and moreWhy Ayurvedic healing takes time — and how understanding this timeline can bring patience and clarity to your wellness journeyWe'd love to hear from you!

31. Acid Reflux & Indigestion: Understanding the Root Cause & Natural Remedies with Ayurveda
2026/10/07
If you struggle with acid reflux, heartburn, indigestion, or bloating, this episode is for you. Today Brittni and Rita take a deep dive into what's actually driving these incredibly common digestive complaints — and why standard treatments so often fall short of real, lasting relief. Acid reflux is so much more than excess stomach acid, and Western medicine's approach to treating it almost completely misses the bigger picture. Drawing on Ayurvedic wisdom and Rita's clinical experience as a medical speech language pathologist, they break down the root causes of acid reflux and indigestion, the role of gut motility, nervous system health, and digestive fire, and what a natural, whole-body approach to healing actually looks like. This episode is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice. Please consult your healthcare provider if you are experiencing chest pain or concerning symptoms. Highlights: Why acid reflux and heartburn are far more than a stomach acid problem — and the missing piece most treatments completely overlookThe surprising ways reflux can show up beyond heartburn, including throat symptoms, chronic cough, sinus issues, and moreThe two Ayurvedic root causes of acid reflux and indigestion — and why addressing both is essential for lasting reliefWhat long-term use of acid-blocking medications can do to the body — and why weaning off them requires supportThe foods, habits, and emotional patterns that quietly contribute to heartburn and indigestionSimple but powerful natural remedies for acid reflux — from dietary shifts and meal timing to sleep position and postureThe herbs Ayurveda reaches for to soothe, rebuild, and restore digestive function naturallyWhy your nervous system, stress levels, and how fast you eat matter more than you might thinkBanyan Botanicals Pitta Digest Tablets: https://alnk.to/cHRLhEu (Use code: WOMENSHEALTH15) for 15% off Banyan Botanicals Digestive CCF Tea: https://alnk.to/1Cc1ulZ (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15) for 15% off Note: We earn a small commission from purchases made through our affiliate links, with zero extra expense to you Support the podcast on Patreon!

30. Ayurvedic Sleep Guide: Natural Solutions for Better Sleep & What Your Dosha Pattern Tells Us
2026/09/30
Today on the podcast, Brittni and Rita dive into one of Ayurveda's three pillars of health — sleep. This conversation goes far beyond standard sleep advice, exploring why Ayurveda considers sleep so essential for detoxification, cognitive health, and long-term wellbeing, and how the timing of sleep matters just as much as the total hours. They also break down sleep imbalances through the Ayurvedic lens, explaining how Vata, Pitta, and Kapha type sleep issues each look completely different — and how to address each one in a way that actually fits your body and constitution. Highlights: Why Ayurveda considers sleep one of the three pillars of health — and what that actually means for your body overnightThe glymphatic system and what modern science now confirms about sleep and brain detoxificationWhy the timing of sleep matters — what happens in the body between 10pm and 2am and why going to bed later disrupts more than just your energyHow Vata, Pitta, and Kapha type sleep imbalances each present differently — and the specific tools and practices that support each oneWhy starting with just one small shift is almost always more effective than overhauling everything at onceBanyan Botanicals iSleepSoundly Tablets: https://alnk.to/9IiU3gI (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Banyan Botanicals Sleep Easy Massage Oil: https://alnk.to/cm2gLws (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Support the podcast on Patreon!

29. Cycle Syncing: How to Align Your Work, Creativity & Energy with Your Menstrual Cycle
2026/09/23
Today on the podcast, Brittni and Rita explore one of their most passionate topics — cycle syncing. Not just in the context of hormone health, but in the context of how we work, create, make decisions, and move through life. In this conversation they break down why our menstrual cycle is one of the most underutilized tools we have as women, and how learning to align our energy and output with each phase of the cycle can reduce burnout, unlock creativity, and help us show up more fully in every area of life. Highlights: How the four phases of the menstrual cycle — menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal — map onto different types of cognitive and creative energyWhy our current work structures are built around the male 24-hour hormonal cycle — and what it would look like to build around the female cycle insteadReal examples from Brittni and Rita's own businesses of how they align their work, writing, editing, and decision making with their cycleWhy bleeding on a big decision might be the most powerful thing you can do before saying yes or noThe connection between cycle syncing, healing painful periods, and unlocking creativity — and why these aren't separate thingsHow to start cycle syncing even if you have limited autonomy over your scheduleFREE GUIDE: Download Brittni's free guide at mountainsforbreakfast.com to go deeper into each phase and how to plan your work around your cycle.

28. Vata Season: Ayurvedic Foods, Spices, & Practices for Fall Wellness
2026/09/16
This week, Rita and Brittni are talking about transitioning into Vata season. They break down why autumn calls for a two-phase approach: first flushing out the heat that accumulated over summer, then building warmth and stability for the winter ahead. As the air gets colder, drier, and more mobile, many people notice an uptick in anxiety, poor sleep, constipation, dry skin, low energy, and scattered focus without understanding why. In this episode, they break down exactly what's happening from an Ayurvedic perspective and share simple, practical tools to help you move through this transition with more ease, groundedness, and even a little creativity. Highlights: Why it's essential to flush out summer heat before building warmth and stability for winterWhy the fall transition can feel so unsettling for your body and mind — and what Ayurveda says is actually going onThe symptoms that show up this time of year that most people never connect to the seasonKey foods, spices, and practices to support digestion, circulation, and the nervous systemThe one practice Brittni and Rita keep coming back to for grounding the nervous system during Vata seasonWhy oil might be the most underrated tool in your fall wellness routine — and all the ways you can use itThe unexpected creative and spiritual opportunity that Vata season offers — and how to actually tap into itWhy learning to rest this season might be one of the most powerful things you can do for your health all yearVata Balancing Massage Oil: https://alnk.to/btstRCt (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Nasya/Nose Oil: https://alnk.to/7MezhqW (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) CCF Digestion Tea: https://alnk.to/1Cc1ulZ (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Support the podcast on Patreon!

27. Abhyanga: Self-Massage That Supports Skin, Joints, Nervous System & Emotional Health
2026/09/09
Today on the podcast, Brittni and Rita dedicate a full episode to Abhyanga — the Ayurvedic practice of warm oil self-massage. One of the most beloved and foundational practices in Ayurveda, Abhyanga is far more than a skincare ritual. It supports circulation, lymphatic flow, joint health, nervous system regulation, digestion, sleep, and emotional wellbeing — and it can be adapted for any constitution, any season, and any schedule. In this episode, they break down exactly how to do it, how to make it work in real life, and why this simple practice of oiling your body might be one of the most powerful things you can do for your health. Highlights: What Abhyanga is and why Ayurveda considers it one of its most important daily practicesThe meaning of sneha — why oil and love are the same word in Sanskrit, and what that means for how we practiceThe wide-ranging physical benefits — skin health, circulation, lymphatic drainage, joint strength, bone health, nervous system support, digestion, breast health, and healthy agingWhy so many women feel hesitant to connect with their bodies through touch — and why this practice can be so healing for thatHow to warm your oil, what type of oil to use, and the key massage techniques to knowHow often to practice, how long to spend, and how to create both a short version and a longer more luxurious version that fits your lifeContraindications — when to skip Abhyanga and what to be mindful of during menstruation, pregnancy, illness, and active digestionPractical tips for managing oil on your laundry, plumbing, septic systems, and avoiding slipping in the showerBanyan Botanicals Sesame Massage Oil: https://alnk.to/6mUvpO0 (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Nasya/Nose Oil: https://alnk.to/7MezhqW (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Support the podcast on Patreon!

26. Perimenopause & Menopause Support: Hot Flashes, Hormonal Changes, Weight Gain & Anxiety
2026/09/02
If you're in the middle of perimenopause or menopause and feeling like your body has completely changed overnight — this episode is for you. Hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, anxiety, insomnia, mood swings, dryness — these symptoms are real, they're disorienting, and most women are told very little about why they're happening or what they can actually do about them. Today Rita and Brittni break it all down through the Ayurvedic lens, offering a framework that finally makes sense of what the body is going through — and practical tools that can work alongside or before turning to HRT. There is so much more to this conversation than most women are ever told, whether you're considering HRT, already on it, or looking for additional ways to support your body through this transition, we hope this conversation offers a helpful perspective. Highlights: Why perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety, insomnia, and dryness happenThe three stages of life in Ayurveda and why this transition is one of the most profound transformations a woman moves throughWhy losing estrogen and progesterone is like losing your body's buffer — and what that means for your mood, sleep, and digestionWeight gain around the middle during perimenopause — what Ayurveda says is actually happening and why restriction often makes it worseWhy common wellness trends like intermittent fasting, cold plunging, hot yoga, and cutting carbs can backfire during this transitionThe Ayurvedic tools that actually help — Abhyanga, alternate nostril breathing, daily routine, grounding foods, and gentle movementAn honest, judgment-free conversation about HRT, lifestyle medicine, and why starting to support yourself earlier always makes a differenceThe powerful reframe — why this transition, as hard as it is, is also one of the most transformative chapters of a woman's lifeVata Balancing Massage Oil: https://alnk.to/btstRCt (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Nasya/Nose Oil: https://alnk.to/7MezhqW (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Banyan Botanicals CCF Digestive Tea: https://alnk.to/1Cc1ulZ (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15) for 15% off If you enjoyed this conversation, it would mean the world to us and help support our work if you’d like, share, leave a review, as well as subscribe to our podcast on whichever platform you use.

25. The Six Tastes: How to Use Food as Medicine for Your Body, Cravings & Seasonal Health
2026/08/26
Today on the podcast, Rita and Brittni break down one of the most foundational concepts in Ayurvedic nutrition — the six tastes. Sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent each carry specific elemental qualities that have a direct effect on digestion, tissues, cravings, and overall balance in the body. In this episode, they walk through each taste, the foods that embody it, and how to work with them based on your constitution, the season, and what your body is asking for. This one is equal parts educational and practical, and a great episode to share with anyone who's curious about using food as medicine. Highlights: What the six tastes are and why Ayurveda uses taste — not macros or calories — as its primary framework for understanding foodA breakdown of each taste, its elemental qualities, and which doshas it balances or aggravatesWhy incorporating all six tastes can reduce cravings and help you feel truly satiated after a mealThe difference between lemon and lime — and why it matters more than you might thinkWhy ferments, sourdough, and other wellness staples aren't always the right choice for every body or every seasonHow seasonal eating maps directly onto the six tastes — and why nature makes it easier than you thinkEasy, practical ways to start incorporating all six tastes into your everyday cooking without overhauling your whole dietBanyan Botanicals Kitchari Kit: https://alnk.to/et1nfgA (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Banyan Botanicals CCF Spice Mix: https://alnk.to/450Fnc6 (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) If you enjoyed this conversation, it would mean the world to us and help support our work if you’d like, share, leave a review, as well as subscribe to our podcast on whichever platform you use.

Whether you're ghee-curious or already cooking with it every day, there's something here for everyone.
