The Elements of Ayurveda Podcast

Episode 411

In Ayurveda, digestion is never just about food, it’s about how we process life itself. When our digestion is weak, the body feels heavy, the mind becomes clouded, and both physical toxins (ama) and mental toxins (mental ama) begin to accumulate.

In this episode, Colette explores how poor digestion affects not only our physical health but also our emotional wellbeing, clarity, and self-confidence. You’ll learn how the gut-mind connection works in Ayurveda, why unprocessed emotions weigh just as heavily as undigested food, and what practices help restore balance.

We’ll also look at how an Ayurvedic reset, including diet, awareness, and daily routine can help clear both physical and emotional heaviness, bringing you back to lightness, calm, and clarity.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How Ayurveda explains the gut-mind connection through the mano vaha srotas (the channel of the mind).

• The role of the subdoshas, Sadhaka Pitta, Prana Vayu, and Tarpaka Kaph
