00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,920
Hello everybody and welcome to a new episode of the Awaken Together podcast.

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,920
I'm Kat and today I am joined by my friend Havana Stegner.

3
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:16,920
Hi Havana.

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:17,920
Hello.

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,240
Thank you so much for having me.

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:22,840
Of course and so glad you're here.

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,680
So I want to introduce you to everybody.

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,280
Havana is an Ayurvedic wellness educator.

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:34,440
She's a yoga teacher, a ritualist, and the founder of Have Healing Arts.

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,480
We're in Denver right now but she is soon going to be moving to Portland.

11
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:43,280
So if you're out in the Pacific Northwest, look out for her in a couple months.

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,280
I'm so excited.

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,280
Yeah, Jake moves coming.

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,960
We met through nurture and it's just been such a joy to know and you are such an old

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,960
soul.

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,920
Like I am amazed.

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,880
So much to give in such a young package.

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,760
It's always so inspiring and amazing to just witness you and your work.

19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:03,760
Thank you so much.

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,880
I really appreciate that.

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,120
And thanks for having me on the podcast.

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,800
I'm really excited to just have the ability to talk about what I do and why I love it

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,200
and just connect with you over all things Ayurveda.

24
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,200
Awesome.

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,200
Yeah.

26
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,360
So today is going to be like an Ayurveda 2.0.

27
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:24,520
So Jen and I, we are not super well versed in Ayurveda like you are.

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,880
And we did our best last time to kind of give a high level overview of the dosha's as it

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,280
was taught to us.

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,240
But today we're going to go a lot deeper because we have you as a gift here able to

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,720
share that with us.

32
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,960
So first I always like to just start getting to know like you and your story.

33
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:45,440
So how did you initially get drawn into Ayurveda?

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,440
Yeah.

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:53,160
I think like most people who work with Ayurveda or find their kind of life's passion, it's

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,360
like Ayurveda definitely found me.

37
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,600
I was teaching yoga.

38
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,880
I've been teaching yoga for quite a few years now.

39
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,280
And I was in a place of feeling pretty good.

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:12,920
Like I've never had extreme health issues in my life, but I certainly didn't feel great.

41
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:19,120
Like I didn't feel like I was thriving physically, mentally, spiritually, all the things.

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,600
And so I was looking for a way to just expand my knowledge and have something to learn in

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,160
a tool.

44
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,640
Not even really to give it to other people, but just out of curiosity of like what is

45
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:31,640
this thing?

46
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:33,480
I've heard of it from yoga teacher training.

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,280
Let me dive in.

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,160
And then as I started to learn more about Ayurveda through you know, podcast books, all the

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,800
things and started implementing the teachings into my daily life, I was like, oh, I feel

50
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,200
so much better.

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Surprise, surprise.

52
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:56,360
And I didn't even fully realize what level of hormone imbalance and gut issues and brain

53
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:03,080
fog and just like emotional instability I was having until I reached a place of balance

54
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:09,280
that I was able to look back and just feel so grateful that I found this medicine.

55
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,320
So then once I had implemented the teachings into my life as best as I could with the knowledge

56
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,880
that I had at that time.

57
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,000
I decided I wanted to dive in a little bit more.

58
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,360
And so I enrolled in the Shakti school that's founded by Katie Silcox and she does amazing

59
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,600
work.

60
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,160
She works with feminine form Ayurveda.

61
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:35,040
So Ayurveda can be very dogmatic, very old school, where she applies a really awesome

62
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,360
modern approach.

63
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,920
And so I did her year long program and I graduated in January and now I've since founded my

64
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,800
own business.

65
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,760
And I'm working one-on-one with clients as well as creating like herbal blends and spice

66
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720
blends and massage oils and all those good things.

67
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Hmm, so yummy.

68
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,800
So exciting.

69
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,360
I love to see this journey that you're on now.

70
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,040
It's amazing.

71
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,960
And so you mentioned before like you were coming from a place of not being in balance

72
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,200
and then by utilizing these practices you found balance.

73
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,920
What are some examples of things that you were experiencing before?

74
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,480
And the reason I ask is because I'm wondering if our listeners might resonate with some

75
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,920
of those things and be able to be like, okay, Ayurveda can help me with this.

76
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,920
Absolutely.

77
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,760
So there's all ends of the spectrum of what we experience in terms of our health.

78
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:35,560
What I was personally going through was just a lot of inflammation, a lot of gut issues

79
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:41,200
and issues with digestion as like physically as well as being able to emotionally digest

80
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,800
my own life.

81
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,760
Hormone imbalance, which I know is something that you've talked about on the podcast before,

82
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,640
a lot of skin issues that I was having that I've finally just got dialed in now.

83
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,200
It's been a journey with that.

84
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,280
And then just outside of the physical stuff, just purpose and dharma and understanding

85
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:05,240
spirituality and end my relationship with nature, that's been a huge part of Ayurveda.

86
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:11,520
Because truly, Ayurveda is just asking the question of how can we be in better sync with

87
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,520
nature?

88
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,520
I love that.

89
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,520
It's what I love about Ayurveda.

90
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,480
It's such a holistic approach, right?

91
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,480
Absolutely.

92
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,160
And that's obviously something I'm super passionate about as a holistic health coach as well is

93
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:29,920
we can't look at health as just food or just what we do.

94
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,120
It's not just our emotional body, it's spiritual, it's nature, it's everything and.

95
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,640
And so I'm wondering what are some of the things that you help clients with when you

96
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,480
work one-on-one with people?

97
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,480
Absolutely.

98
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:48,520
So my main focus with a one-on-one client is nutrition for sure and digestion.

99
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,840
So we start by doing a really in-depth intake process.

100
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:57,640
Like I ask all the very intimate questions for sure.

101
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,280
And then from there, they take away just a few things to work on and we build from there.

102
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:08,520
And those few things include what spices to use, what spices to avoid, foods to eat,

103
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:14,920
foods not to eat, as well as daily routine ritual practices.

104
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,000
And then most clients we do a little bit of an herbal regimen.

105
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,240
However, I prefer dialing in the relationship to food, how they're cooking it, how they're

106
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,040
spicing it before bringing in herbs.

107
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,240
Because I think a lot of us look at herbal remedies the same way that Western medicine

108
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,040
looks at prescriptions of like, I'm dealing with this problem, here's this herb, it's

109
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,360
going to fix it when really we want to get to the root cause.

110
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,920
And herbs can do the same thing that prescriptions can do, where they work for a little while

111
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,000
and then they stop working.

112
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,480
Although they'll have less side effects than prescriptions, it's definitely a better route

113
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,480
to start.

114
00:06:53,480 --> 00:07:00,240
So, food, diet, ritual routine, then we move on to more extreme, not extreme, but more

115
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,840
aggressive remedies like herbs.

116
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:02,840
Yeah, awesome.

117
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:05,480
That's really, really cool to hear.

118
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,880
And so, when you mention like different herbs for different people and doing all of that

119
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,280
intake, something that the way that I was taught Ayurveda is like, oh, what's your

120
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,280
dosha?

121
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,720
And so, I'm curious how much of like the work that you do with people has to relate

122
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,080
with a dosha, multiple doshas.

123
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,320
Can you demystify that for us?

124
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,320
Absolutely.

125
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:31,200
So, Tridosha theory is truly everything in Ayurveda, which I love because it's the rule

126
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:39,000
of threes, it's simple, and it also highlights our relationship with nature.

127
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:47,360
So the three doshas, pitta, vata, and katha are categories, subcategories of the elements,

128
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,360
essentially.

129
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:55,560
So we break air, ether, earth, water, and fire, and we break those into the three doshas.

130
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,720
So, in the intake process, part of all the questions that I ask will give me a better

131
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:07,640
idea of what dosha is highest in the system, or which dosha is, because it can be multiple.

132
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,120
And from there, we use that information to identify what changes need to happen.

133
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,640
So, if someone has really high fiery energy, so they have that really high pitta in their

134
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:23,160
body and that can look like numerous different things, we might find like cooling spices,

135
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,160
cooling routines, cooling herbs to balance that out.

136
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,480
So Ayurveda operates on the rule of opposites.

137
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,480
And so it's always like increases like, and so if someone's really high in their fire,

138
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:42,680
really high in their earth, or whatever element we're working with there, we want to heal

139
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:47,200
that with the opposite instead of increasing it with the same.

140
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,200
That makes total sense.

141
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,200
Super simple.

142
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,200
Yeah, right?

143
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,320
It's just taking that little like zoomed out approach and having a little bit of organization

144
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,840
structure to it to apply it.

145
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,200
So for example, let's take me.

146
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,120
I've learned that when I'm imbalanced, I'm more pitta.

147
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,280
And when I'm out of balance, I go more towards vatta.

148
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:16,320
And I get like, I'm anxiety prone, my thoughts will race, I get cold.

149
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,600
So what would you recommend someone like I do in terms of diet and the things that you

150
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,800
usually work with your clients on to bring me back to that balance?

151
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:33,000
Yeah, so with anything, we want to, I think the practice of Ayurveda is really the practice

152
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,680
of study and paying attention.

153
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:40,360
And so if you notice that when you're really high in your pitta or you're really out of

154
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,960
balance and you switch to vatta, so if we look at the elements of fire and we look at

155
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:50,400
the elements of air, sometimes the imbalance could happen because your pitta is so hot

156
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,440
that it burns everything up and then there's just air and space left.

157
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,000
So there's that primary secondary approach as well.

158
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,320
So it could be that your fire blows out either because you're burning too much or because

159
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,240
you have something else coming that's taking the fire away.

160
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,320
From there, if you go into your vatta imbalance, you would want which vatta the qualities of

161
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,760
vatta are going to be a lot of movement, a lot of anxiety like you were saying, a lot

162
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,760
of airy qualities.

163
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,360
We want to ground those with more earth and water.

164
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:27,440
So inviting in the opposite and earth and water, kafa is very grounding for pitta as

165
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,440
well.

166
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:36,560
Yeah, one of my yoga teachers mentioned that kafa is what we all want more of.

167
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,440
It's like that mom energy.

168
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:43,160
Right, it's just like so held and loved and seen.

169
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,480
And yeah, I definitely need more of that in my life.

170
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,280
I just feel best when I'm like that.

171
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,280
Absolutely.

172
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,600
I mean, most of us, if you just look at the high-pace society that we live in, most of

173
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,600
us are pitted out because we're stuck in loops of reacting.

174
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,120
We have to defend ourselves.

175
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,120
We're in that fight.

176
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,080
If we're talking about the nervous system, we're in fight a lot.

177
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,960
Or we're vatted out.

178
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:07,960
We're anxious.

179
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,680
We're driving from thing to thing to thing.

180
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:11,400
We have a million things on our to-do list.

181
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,440
We're overwhelmed and we're in that kind of flighty space too.

182
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,080
And so what we need is to ground both of those.

183
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,640
And kafa definitely does have its downsides, right?

184
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,560
So every doshas has, there's two sides of the coin, right?

185
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:30,280
So too much kafa in the system can look like depression or lethargy as well as more physical

186
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:36,640
symptoms like slow, sluggish digestion, brain fog, all of that.

187
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,600
So we want really the ideas that all three doshas, we have all three of them, and we

188
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,120
want all three to work together so that they can support each other.

189
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,040
Yeah, love that.

190
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:53,240
And one idea that I want to bring in based on what you were saying of when I'm in balance,

191
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,240
I'm higher in my pitta, when I'm out of balance, I'm higher in my vata.

192
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,200
And so there's this idea in our yaveta called prokhrati and vikrti.

193
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,680
And this is, I think, an important piece of the puzzle that we're missing when we just

194
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:10,600
go online and do a dosha quiz is we're not even viewing the holistic practice holistically.

195
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,480
So we have to honor it by kind of looking at the whole picture of how our yaveta does

196
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,160
its diagnosis practice.

197
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:25,560
But prokhrati is your constitution, which is going to be the ratio of each dosha that

198
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:29,280
you have, but at conception.

199
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,120
And so there's a lot of things that go into play with that.

200
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,960
It's the season that you were conceived in, the state of the health of your parents, even

201
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,920
what they were eating, the night they conceived you, literally every detail in that moment.

202
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:47,480
So it's not birth, it's your constitution at conception when the sperm meets the egg,

203
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,640
the very beginning moment.

204
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,720
And so that's your baseline.

205
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,080
And so for you, if you're saying like, when I'm in balance, I definitely have those good

206
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,840
pitta qualities, that is an indication that you have more pitta in your prokhrati.

207
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,640
We still have all three in our prokhrati.

208
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,680
It's just whatever ratio.

209
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:05,160
Then vikrati is the other side of that.

210
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,040
And that's what you're going to find when you take those dosha quizzes or when you have

211
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:14,600
a conversation with a health specialist is typically our imbalance or our current state.

212
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,560
So that's going to be your higher vata in your constitution.

213
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,880
Could be a vikrati or it's just moment to moment.

214
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,800
There could be, you know, a month that you go through and you're like, wow, I'm experiencing

215
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,720
a lot of kafa in my system, but that's just vikrati.

216
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:33,480
It's ever changing day by day, even hours within the day, your vikrati can change based

217
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,720
on your environment, what you're eating, et cetera, et cetera.

218
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:37,720
Wow.

219
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,720
That is so cool.

220
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,160
I feel like that's really the missing piece to my understanding of our vata.

221
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,160
Yeah.

222
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,800
Thanks for painting that picture.

223
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,320
I feel like I just get it better already now.

224
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,320
Yeah.

225
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,800
It makes such a huge difference when we look at it.

226
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:59,160
I see so many people talking about our Ayurveda and having this level of attachment with their

227
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,160
dosha.

228
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:05,040
And so they take this quiz and it's kind of like enneagram or personality thing and

229
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,960
you're like, I'm a pizza, I'm a pizza.

230
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,000
And then you make your whole personality a pizza.

231
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,720
And I say you, but I mean, I literally did that when I was starting Ayurveda as I was

232
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,560
so attached to, I'm very high pit to two, but I was really attached to my kaufik nature

233
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:25,680
because I love the fact that I was at that point in my life more grounding and stabilizing

234
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,800
and funny enough, like my ex was really high in pitta.

235
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,760
I left my pitta and became very kafa to balance him out.

236
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,600
So it was really my vikrati, but that's just the side note.

237
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,400
No, that's cool.

238
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,240
I was really attached to this kaufik nature.

239
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,280
And then when I went to school and when I did some self-study, I was like, wait, I am

240
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,280
super vata.

241
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Wait, I'm super pitta.

242
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,240
I'm so confused.

243
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,480
What am I?

244
00:14:52,480 --> 00:15:00,000
And the answer to that question, what am I wasn't I am this is that I have everything.

245
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,440
So I want all of us and listeners included to when we're looking at Ayurveda to reframe

246
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:12,480
our perspective and to look at it more of, I have high pitta in my system or I have high

247
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,240
vata in my system.

248
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,760
This is my experience right now.

249
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,320
I'm observing the experience rather than like, I am this and this is how I will always be

250
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,720
and this is who I am.

251
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:27,000
You know, that whole I am versus I have is very big difference, right?

252
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,680
That's a big shift in the energy that you attach to or don't attach to it.

253
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,680
Absolutely.

254
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:34,680
Yeah.

255
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:35,680
Absolutely.

256
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,840
Because we need the doshas to work together to be in health in different ratios in different

257
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,880
ways for everybody.

258
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,960
So bioindividuality is so important here, but everybody has all three.

259
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,320
Speak in my language with a bioindividuality.

260
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,320
Love it.

261
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:57,840
And so you mentioned before that you work with clients with like herbs and spices and

262
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:04,520
I feel like I have not even really brushed the surface on what all of that entails.

263
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,640
So could you share more about like some of the herbs, some of the spices that you usually

264
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,080
work with people on like even like meals?

265
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,080
I don't know.

266
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,440
Like it's just such a mystery and I just want to learn more because I love food and

267
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,280
getting creative in ways that support my health is something I'm all about.

268
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,280
Absolutely.

269
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,920
And this is something with like, I know with your integrative nutrition background, like

270
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,400
that is something that you can just take.

271
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,640
Okay, I have this awesome meal that I've created that's so intentional.

272
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,320
Let me add these three spices on it to now make it digestible.

273
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,320
Yes.

274
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,440
And so that's the biggest thing with with the spices is that spices are medicine, they

275
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:47,560
carry medicine, they're going to help mediate any imbalances that we're experiencing.

276
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,080
They also help us digest our food.

277
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,920
And so there's this rule in our Aveda where all of our food as much as possible should

278
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,360
be warm, cooked, moist and spiced.

279
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,360
And that helps us break down our food before it even enters our system.

280
00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:10,520
So then it's more bio, bio available and our body can break it down and we can actually

281
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,720
access all the nutrients within it.

282
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:13,720
I love that.

283
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:14,720
And it feels so natural.

284
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:21,000
I mean, especially in this time of year or recording this like early spring, late winter,

285
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
and I really still just find myself wanting warmth.

286
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Absolutely.

287
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Yeah.

288
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,680
But I know that there are some people out there like Jen, for example, who really identifies

289
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,880
with Vata.

290
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,520
She loves snacking.

291
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,000
She loves cold foods, crunchy foods.

292
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,240
What would you recommend for someone who that's kind of been their experience with

293
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:47,040
food and spices, like baby steps to how to get there and maybe change that habit?

294
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,040
Absolutely.

295
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,840
It's I'm all about baby steps in my approach.

296
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:57,000
So my biggest thing for everyone is to start their day with warm lemon water.

297
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,760
Starting your day with something warm.

298
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,440
If you're like, I'm out of lemons.

299
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,440
That's okay.

300
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,800
I just don't have the first thing you drink in the morning be cold.

301
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,320
And so if someone like Jen who's like, I want all the cold things, if she can just do that

302
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:15,320
one glass of warm lemon water in the morning, that will create that trust within her system

303
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,320
to invite in that warm.

304
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,320
I love that.

305
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,080
So starting with one thing, right?

306
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,000
And then any adjustments that you can make.

307
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,440
So if you're having like a cold smoothie in the morning, right?

308
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,200
And a lot of people, especially in Colorado, we love our smoothies and we'll drink them

309
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,480
all year round.

310
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,480
It's great.

311
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,840
But maybe in the winter, you add a little bit of dried ginger into your smoothie.

312
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,760
Ginger is a heating spice.

313
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,240
So you take that cold smoothie and you just make it a little bit more accessible for your

314
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,680
body without even heating it up.

315
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:46,680
Right.

316
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,440
And then eventually you might want to switch to like some warm oats because, you know,

317
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,400
smoothies all the time in the winter can definitely be hard on the body.

318
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,040
But if you're help out on your smoothies, then a little ginger.

319
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,360
Oh, yes.

320
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:05,040
And I feel like even thinking about this holistically, I feel like a lot of Vata people are cold,

321
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,040
right?

322
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,600
That's like one of those traits with it.

323
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,640
And so if they're starting their day with something cold and wondering why the rest

324
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,600
of the day they're cold, it's like, okay, well, I fully believe in how we start the

325
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,280
day is kind of the energy and the intention that we're bringing into the day.

326
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,240
And so if we're looking to bring some balance into that, like opposites, like what you're

327
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,840
saying, that just like makes so much sense to me.

328
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,840
Absolutely.

329
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:29,840
Yeah.

330
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:35,240
And even with the more pitot types, like that cooked warm spice, moist rule applies to everybody.

331
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:42,040
And so I actually had a client who was extremely high in pitta and she drank ice water all

332
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,040
the time.

333
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,200
And it was like, she was literally like, I'm sweating all the time.

334
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,720
I'm so hot all the time.

335
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,040
Like opposite of Vata, right?

336
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,040
But she was drinking ice water because it was what was most comfortable for her to cool

337
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,280
it down.

338
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,760
And it was a process, right?

339
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,240
And she slowly switched and did those baby steps just to not drink ice water anymore.

340
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,920
And her body was able to regulate her temperature.

341
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,600
And similar to, I just listened to your episode with Bridget and you guys were talking about

342
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,240
those little steps, little changes that you can do.

343
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,640
It's the same thing here.

344
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,720
And we're really playing the long game in our Vata.

345
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,240
So if you can change those three little habits, right?

346
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Those that one habit.

347
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:27,240
It's not going to turn around and be completely better the next day.

348
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,960
It's you're playing the long game.

349
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,040
So step by step, you'll notice those changes and eventually you'll look back and be like,

350
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,480
oh, I used to be sweaty all the time.

351
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,080
And now I can regulate my temperature.

352
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,080
It's pretty cool.

353
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,080
That's pretty dang cool.

354
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,080
Pretty empowering.

355
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,080
Like I did that.

356
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,080
Yes, absolutely.

357
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,080
Yeah.

358
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:49,760
And thinking about that too, the whole long play, it's something that I've been personally

359
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,320
experiencing as I've been for the past three months or so.

360
00:20:53,320 --> 00:21:00,760
I've been taking two different supplements each day, eight pills total for each.

361
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,080
One is called Myo de Cairo in Nossatil, mouthful.

362
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:11,160
And the other one is this balance protocol by Dr. Brighton, who is the author of Beyond

363
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,160
the Pill.

364
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,200
And so, yeah, so I've been taking these for about two months now.

365
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,280
And they say that when you're on your third month, that's when you'll actually potentially

366
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,960
start seeing benefit and change.

367
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,320
And so that's something I'm really experiencing is how with herbs and more natural things like

368
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,000
you're saying, not prescription drugs, it's just a longer process.

369
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,360
But there's less side effects.

370
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:37,080
You're doing something better for yourself derived from nature.

371
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,040
You just kind of have to like be patient.

372
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Yes.

373
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,040
Right.

374
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,200
You're actually healing your body and healing is a long process.

375
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:52,320
I think are, I mean, I don't think I know our society values efficiency, over longevity.

376
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,680
And so we're looking for like, when we do get sick, we don't want to have that, you

377
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,120
know, chicken soup and really soothe and rest and do the things that we really need.

378
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:04,640
We want to pop like a dayquil and go back to work.

379
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,560
And we're just suppressing, suppressing, suppressing.

380
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:13,000
And our Ayurveda looks at the body in the same way that it does look at the emotional

381
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
and spiritual wellness.

382
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
It's all one.

383
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,360
And so we're suppressing our symptoms all the time.

384
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:20,600
We're also going to be suppressing our emotions.

385
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:25,440
And then eventually, most of us, like especially people who have entered into this wellness

386
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,760
realm, like we hit our breaking point at some point where we're just like, I feel like shit

387
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,680
and I don't want to do it this way anymore.

388
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:37,040
And I want to feel my feelings and I want to know my body and be in sync with nature and

389
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:43,960
do the things I need to do so that I can embody the idea of longevity and immunity and recovery.

390
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,360
That's the recovery when it comes to my health.

391
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:47,360
So good.

392
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:48,360
So good.

393
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:49,360
Yes.

394
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:55,200
And thinking about hormones and hormone health, you know, the journey I've been on.

395
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,880
Still have a very irregular period.

396
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,440
It's been off the pill for nine months now.

397
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,800
And I'm just really trusting that of the long game and I'm here for it.

398
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,880
I wanted to do all the right things for myself.

399
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,960
What do you think about Ayurveda as it relates to hormone health?

400
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:18,320
What are some of the tools and rituals that you understand can help the sort of thing?

401
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,800
Absolutely.

402
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,760
So I'm lucky that my program was actually geared more towards women's health.

403
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,920
So we did have a deep dive on hormones and it's something that I'm very passionate about

404
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,280
because I got off my hormonal birth control a year ago too.

405
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,800
And luckily I've had a pretty smooth transition.

406
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:42,920
But let me tell you, like knowing your body, knowing what it's telling you.

407
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,320
Even my personality changing since that has happened, it's huge.

408
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,440
So I totally feel for you being on this journey.

409
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:49,440
It's a beautiful one.

410
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,440
17 years of it.

411
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,440
So it's a long time.

412
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,040
I'm going to have, I'm going to record an episode eventually called Gaslet by Birth

413
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,800
Control where I'm just going to like go into all of the things.

414
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,840
But yeah, the whole personality changing, it's real.

415
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,200
It's super real.

416
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,600
And so what are you, Veda says about hormonal health?

417
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,280
I'll go into a few different things here.

418
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,080
So and try to be concise as I can about them.

419
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,120
But we have the seven tissue layers of the body and our Veda.

420
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:28,320
The reproductive organs, male and female, are the last of the tissue layers.

421
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,320
And so we're talking about food, what's going to be nourished first is your rassadatu, which

422
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,000
is your lymphatic system.

423
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,400
What's going to be nourished last is the reproductive organs.

424
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:47,840
And so if you eat an apple, right, it's going to take 35 days approximately for the nourishment

425
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,840
from that apple to go from your lymph, to your blood, to your muscle, to your fat, to

426
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,360
your bone, down all the tissue layers into the reproductive system.

427
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:03,240
And so with that in mind, it's really important that we are intentional about our nourishment

428
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:09,320
throughout the month because it does take time for those nutrients to reach our system.

429
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,480
And so the same thing with detoxification, right?

430
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,960
If it's so deep in the tissue layers, and we are on those hormonal birth controls or

431
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,080
we do have an IUD, it's going to take longer for that to detox out.

432
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,080
So diet is huge.

433
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,080
Liver health is also huge when it comes to hormones.

434
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:37,080
And so the big issue with synthetic hormones is that we have too many hormones in our system.

435
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,480
And some of them are ours and some of them are not.

436
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:46,400
And our poor liver has to process all of it on top of all of the toxins that are in our

437
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,440
air and in our water and in our food.

438
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,440
So it's really taxing on the liver to be on hormonal birth control.

439
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:59,200
And so doing things like are you abated cleansing, kitri cleansing, as well as love your liver

440
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:06,720
protocol, which means getting good sleep, lowering alcohol intake, eating your leafy

441
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:12,080
greens and your detoxifying foods, all of that can be really helpful in clearing out

442
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,240
the excess hormones that are definitely in all of our systems.

443
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,800
Even if you're not on birth control, right?

444
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,440
There's so many hormone disruptors in the air and in the water.

445
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,840
Like shampoo and makeup, everything we touch.

446
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,920
Literally everything is so crazy.

447
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,520
And so that's another thing is part of that.

448
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:38,480
Loving your liver is truly loving your hormones and so if you can check for fragrance in your

449
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:44,280
shampoos and everything and check for those hormone disruptors like BPA and aluminum and

450
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,800
all those things that can be really, really helpful to allowing your body to just give

451
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,800
her a break.

452
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,400
So she doesn't have to process so much.

453
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:59,040
That makes me think about how something I learned recently is how when people are planning

454
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:05,920
to have a child and it's really in their control, how they should start, both the mom and the

455
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:12,280
dad should start really focusing in on their health three months prior to conception.

456
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,280
Absolutely.

457
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,480
So they say three to six months and there's so much that goes into it.

458
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,560
And that's part of those tissue layers, right?

459
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,080
So if we're like, I'm going to have a baby next week.

460
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,160
So I'm going to do like a juice cleanse this week and then I'll be feeling good.

461
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,000
Well that juice cleanse has not even reached your reproductive tissues.

462
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,320
So that's why when we want to go into that whole endeavor of having a child, we really

463
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,400
want to prepare every single tissue layer of the body.

464
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,240
And conception with Ayurveda is fascinating and kind of circling back to that idea of

465
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,880
property, right?

466
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:54,640
So Vastant Ladd, who's written a lot of the literature around Ayurveda, he, reading his

467
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,320
book, he was talking about property and vicarity.

468
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,600
And like I said before, it depends on literally what your parents are eating the night they

469
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,600
conceive you.

470
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,720
And so he's like, if the dad ate a lot of spicy food, then the baby might have a lot

471
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,720
of pitas.

472
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,160
So it's like down to every little thing, including like the seasons.

473
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,480
And so that brings me into my next idea of how every doshha has a season.

474
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,360
And this is part of Tridosic theory.

475
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:24,560
And so right now we just entered Kaffa season, which is the season of earth and water.

476
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:31,000
So if you are trying to conceive, Kaffa season is the season of like planting seeds and grounding

477
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,920
and nurturing.

478
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:38,480
And so Kaffa season, that late winter to spring is the best time to conceive.

479
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:39,480
Interesting.

480
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,480
That's fascinating.

481
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,080
That's really cool.

482
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,080
I'm learning so much.

483
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:49,200
I had no idea about the seven layers that makes so much sense, especially with that fun fact

484
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,000
that I just learned about the minimum three months.

485
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:59,600
Yeah, I have friends who, they, at Electric Forest last year, we were all together and

486
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,520
they were talking about how they wanted to have a baby.

487
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,920
And now they probably wouldn't come to Electric Forest this year, 2023, because if all went

488
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,600
well, they'd have a baby.

489
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:14,800
And how they ideally would not start trying for at least three months after Electric Forest

490
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,720
to recover from all of the drugs.

491
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,720
All of the fun things that go down.

492
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,720
Oh my God.

493
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,480
Yeah, so funny.

494
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,240
But it's just wild.

495
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:31,800
And just thinking about that blueprint of what is happening in the world, the seasons, the

496
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,760
parents DNA and how all of that is just like a little snapshot passed on to the child and

497
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,400
then it becomes who we are.

498
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:39,400
Absolutely.

499
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,400
It's so cool.

500
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,320
And so when we look at the body holistically and we look at the world holistically, it

501
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,040
does show that every little detail matters.

502
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,560
And that fact is not to cause any panic, right?

503
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,480
It's actually supposed to be liberating of like every little choice I make, if I make

504
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,760
it from an empowered and embodied place, can really serve the greater good for my body

505
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:07,320
and my life and for the earth in this moment, but also in a year, also in a month, even

506
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,760
if it's just like what I have for breakfast in the morning.

507
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,800
Everything's connected and everything's in divine sync.

508
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,720
And are you Veda?

509
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,000
That's why I love it so much is because it's not, there's no segregation in how we look

510
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,640
at the human experience as well as the body.

511
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,640
Beautiful.

512
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,640
Thank you so much.

513
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,760
I've learned so much today.

514
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,920
So many tools to take away already.

515
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,360
And I'm wondering how our listeners can connect with you.

516
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Absolutely.

517
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,520
So on Instagram, my handle is havehealingarts.co.

518
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,880
My website's similar, it's havehealingarts.com.

519
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,240
So you can reach out through either of those platforms.

520
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:54,480
I also have workshops coming up where we do way more of a deep dive into Tridosic theory

521
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,680
and how this can support your everyday living.

522
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,920
So keep an eye out for those.

523
00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,960
That's a great way to connect.

524
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:05,760
I also teach yoga, nurture, so you can find me there up until I moved to Portland in a

525
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,760
couple of months.

526
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,760
Yay!

527
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,200
Well, thank you so much.

528
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,080
This was so much fun and we'll put all of your links and everything in the description

529
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,720
for this podcast.

530
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,720
But I appreciate you.

531
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,480
Yes, thank you so much for having me.

532
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,200
I hope you guys learned a little bit about Arya Veda and there's so much more.

533
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,760
So definitely check out my website.

534
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,560
Also I have a whole blog with all of these things on it and I keep adding to it.

535
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,520
So if you want to geek out, I'm your girl.

536
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:32,520
Mm-hmm.

537
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,520
Thank you so much, Kat.

538
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,520
So much goodness, of course.

539
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:43,120
We'll see you all next time.
