38. Nidhi Pandya ON How, When, and What We Should Be Eating According to Ayurveda

After my recent episode on gut health, I received a flood of messages from many of you who have gone through similar experiences. It's so challenging to navigate through the influx of gut-related problems and the countless products that promise quick fixes in our modern world. That's why I invited Ayurvedic expert and coach Nidhi Pandya to the pod to simplify Ayurvedic food practices for our everyday life, because one thing I’ve learned is how and what we eat impacts so much of our everyday lives.Nidhi's approach to Ayurveda is so refreshing! She aims to be jargon-free and demystify key digestive concepts like microbiome and Agni. In our conversation, she shares her perspective on mindful eating and how we should enjoy our foods rather than obsess over specific nutrition issues, weight management, or calorie counting. The best part about Nidhi's method is that it's effortless to incorporate into your existing daily routine. She breaks down her Inner Climate™ principles that prioritize the temperature of foods and the timing of when you eat them. Ultimately, your gut controls everything from stress to skin health to happiness. And it all starts with what you eat and listening to your body! So tune in for all the tips on eating with love, connecting with your food, and reclaiming your inner balance.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Follow along @themodernmillennialpodcast on Instagram and sign up for our Newsletter. Topics Covered:Reframing the way you think about your nutrition The core principles of how Ayurveda views foodDemystifying microbiomes and Agni (digestive fire)  Understanding Nidhi’s concept of Inner Climate™Why Nidhi would rather eat potato chips than a cold smoothieQuieting the noise and jargon around digestive health What to reach for during breakfast, lunch, and dinnerA quick fact or fiction for getting started Follow NidhiInstagramNidhi’s Website Subscribe for product recommendations, real talk, and podcast updatesThe Modern Millennial Newsletter Follow me to say hi or share any feedbackInstagram
