Five Habits That Affect Digestion and How Ayurveda Resets Them

Aug 28, 2025

Episode  407

When most of us think about improving digestion, we focus on food choices, what to eat and what to avoid. But Ayurveda teaches us that how and when we eat, along with our daily lifestyle habits, are just as important for keeping agni (digestive fire) strong and preventing ama (toxins).

In this episode, Colette explores five often-overlooked habits that quietly weaken digestion over time and shares simple Ayurvedic fixes to reset them. These shifts may seem small, but they can have a profound effect on energy, immunity, and overall wellbeing.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why agni thrives on rhythm and how irregular eating times throw digestion off track

  • How emotional stress diverts energy away from healthy digestion

  • The hidden impact of late-night screen use on your body’s natural repair cycles

  • Why even “healthy” foods can cause ama when combined improperly

  • How eating out of sync with the seasons creates imbalance and what to do instead

You’ll also hear practical, before-and-after lifestyle examples to help you notice where these patterns might be showing up in your own life.
