Food is never just about calories — it’s deeply connected to our emotions, nervous system, and energy levels.

In this episode, I explore food, mood, and energy through the lens of Ayurveda and share how emotional balance begins with understanding — not restriction.

You’ll learn:
✨ how emotions influence digestion and cravings
 ✨ why emotional eating isn’t a failure
 ✨ how Ayurveda views food as emotional nourishment
 ✨ one simple practice to eat with more awareness and balance

This episode is perfect if you’re feeling “off” around food, energy, or mood — and want a gentler, more intuitive way forward.
