How To Choose Foods Based On Your Body's Constitution with Dr. Shivani Gupta

Digestion and cravings can all start in your nervous system. Food decisions made from a stressed, sympathetic nervous system state will lead you to specific foods for your survival. 

You then struggle to digest those foods, not because there is something “wrong” with the food or your gut, but because your digestion has shut down to prepare you for battle. 

You can start to see that every food behavior you have is trying to do something FOR you. 

Your body needs attunement, compassion, and safety, not ridicule, shame, and judgment. Getting to know how your unique body functions and what it needs and when can be an empowering experience. And, there are many lenses that you can get to know your body through. 

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner, inflammation expert, and author, about: 

• Ayurveda in a modern context
• Food as nourishment
• Understanding your individual dietary needs based on your constitution and doshas
• Seasonal eating and circadian rhythms
• Growing in your awareness of your connection with food
