Women Over 50: Restore Energy & Calm with Ayurveda

If you’re a woman over 50 feeling tired, anxious, and craving calm, this episode could be the solution you’ve been looking for. In this conversation with Ayurvedic practitioner Jonathan Glass, we’ll explore how the 5,000-year-old system of Ayurveda understands the unique needs of women in midlife, and how simple daily shifts can help you build stress resilience, steady your nervous system, and restore your energy without pushing harder. This interview is for the woman who’s spent decades caring for others, and is finally hearing the inner nudge that it’s time to come to herself. We explore Ayurveda as a whole-life healing system, (not just a “diet” or body-type trend), and why honoring your unique nature matters more now than ever. Jonathan shares the five universal goals every human being is striving for, and how understanding them can help you design the next chapter of your life with clarity and self-compassion. Tune in to discover: How changing hormones naturally redirect your focus from others to yourself, and why that’s not selfish — it’s sacred. Ayurveda’s five goals of life and how understanding these principles can guide your next chapter decisions. How to spot your personal “out of balance” patterns so you can respond earlier and more lovingly. Why supporting your nervous system and glands through diet, herbs, and lifestyle can make the next 20 to 40 years more vibrant.
