When Healthy Habits Stop Working: An Ayurvedic Perspective - 460 - Elements of Ayurveda Podcast | Lyssna här

You eat well, exercise regularly, meditate, manage your stress and genuinely try to take care of yourself, so why don't you feel better?

Sometimes, the answer isn't that you need to try harder or add another healthy habit. Through the Ayurvedic lens, there may be another question worth asking: Does your body currently have the capacity to digest, process and assimilate everything you're giving it?

In this episode, Colette explores why healthy habits can sometimes stop feeling helpful and how factors such as stress, sensory input, lifestyle, seasonal changes, accumulation and digestive capacity can influence how we experience our health and wellbeing. You'll learn more about the Ayurvedic concepts of Agni and Ama, why digestion involves more than just the food we eat, and why sometimes creating space, simplifying our routines and reducing unnecessary inputs can be more supportive than continually adding more.

In this episode, we explore:

Why doing "all the right things" doesn't always mean you'll feel your best
The Ayurvedic concept of Agni and our capacity to digest, metabolise and process
What Ama means within the Ayurvedic understanding of incomplete digestion and metabolism
How accumulation can occur when we're continually taking in more than we have the capacity to process
Why stress and nervous system load can change the way we experience digestion
Why how you eat can be just as important as what you eat
How your digestive capacity can change with your stress, sleep, activity, age, lifestyle and the seasons
Why sometimes the body needs less stimulation, less input and more space
How simplifying your routine can support digestion, elimination and restoration
