One day out in the field, we were talking about herbs—how at the farmers market, no one really buys them. It struck me because, for me, herbs are one of the reasons I fell in love with Many Hands Organic Farm in the first place. They give out so many of them. Not just a token bunch, but generous handfuls of cilantro, dill, parsley, basil, summer savory, and whatever else is thriving that week. One large share from Many Hands Organic Farm included seven different herbs alongsi

There are days when meals emerge from careful planning... and then there are days when you stand in front of the refrigerator with leftovers, garden greens, and curiosity. This week on the blog, I’m introducing "Freshovers"—the Ayurvedic art of bringing life back to food through fresh herbs, digestive spices, and sensory awareness. It’s a practice in mindfulness that proves healing food doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated to be deeply satisfying.

Does your body feel like it’s still in winter hibernation? This time of year, many of us feel a sense of "Kapha heaviness"—sluggish digestion, low energy, and a mental fog that just won't lift. In my latest blog, we explore why Spring is the natural season for a gentle reset. No extreme juice cleanses or deprivation—just simple, grounded Ayurvedic wisdom, my go-to kitchari recipe, and rituals that nourish your nervous system.

I opened the refrigerator and saw a little of this, a little of that… nothing that looked like a full meal, but everything my body was asking for. This simple pot of vegetables became a deeply nourishing Ayurvedic soup—grounding, warming, and balanced. In this new blog, I share how to cook without a recipe and turn what you have into something truly supportive.

What if your body already knows how to regulate appetite—you just need the right foods to support it? In this personal experiment, I explore how simple sprouts may support your body’s natural GLP-1 response, helping quiet menopause cravings and restore steady energy.

The Evolution of a Ritual What began as a simple experiment to clear a "foggy" right nostril and scattered focus has evolved into a foundational pillar of my daily wellness. Over the last 120 days, I haven’t just maintained the results I found in those first three weeks—I’ve deepened them. By refining the "Honey Trick" and adding specific supports for the nervous system, I’ve moved from merely "clearing the fog" to actively building cognitive resilience. Here are the seven le

The clocks fell back this weekend, and with that small shift, nature reminds us once again that time—and life—move in cycles . While many dread the darker evenings or disrupted sleep, Ayurveda invites us to embrace this transition as an opportunity to realign with the natural rhythm of the season. Finding our rhythm. A clear path forward, grounded in the seasonal beauty, represents the stability dinacharya brings when the clocks shift. The Wisdom of Rhythm and the Circadia

For years I joked that I was looking forward to hot flashes — I’ve always been someone who runs cold, so I imagined a little extra heat might be a blessing. Now that they’ve arrived, I find myself smiling at that thought. Some days they feel intense, other days they’re gentle waves, but what’s most surprising is how fascinating this process feels. In Western culture, menopause and perimenopause are often treated like a disease — something to dread, medicate, or hide. Ayurved

A few nights before I harvested the first beets from my garden, I dreamed of them. I could see their deep red roots in my mind—rich, earthy, and almost glowing beneath the soil. I didn’t know exactly why, but something about them was calling to me. Even before they were ready to harvest, I found myself falling in love with them, admiring their vibrant greens with a sense that whatever was growing beneath the surface was going to be something special. By the end of the week, t
