There’s a subtle but undeniable shift that happens in May. The chill of early spring softens. The days stretch longer. The air carries a different weight — lighter, warmer, a hint of summer on the horizon. And just like the natural world outside, your body is adjusting too.
According to Ayurveda, May marks the beginning of an important internal transition: moving from Kapha season (cool, heavy, moist) toward Pitta season (hot, light, sharp). This makes May a pivotal time for digestion. Agni — your digestive fire — needs to be protected, supported, and tended carefully now, or you risk stumbling into summer feeling sluggish, overheated, or inflamed.
​Here’s how to work with the season (and your body) this month — not against it.

There’s a certain energy in April that’s hard to miss. The birds are back, greens are pushing up through the soil, and if you’re like most of us, your body’s starting to whisper (or shout), “I’m ready to lighten up.” After months of hibernation foods—roasts, stews, breads, and holiday indulgences—our digestion is working overtime to metabolize what winter helped us store. But here’s the kicker: if we don’t support the body's natural urge to cleanse right now, all that metabolic activity can start to backfire. Welcome to spring—the season of detox. And Ayurveda has a lot to say about how to do it gently, wisely, and effectively...

March marks the seasonal transition from winter to spring, a time when Kapha dosha intensifies in the body. The heavy, moist, and cool qualities of late winter begin shifting toward the lighter, warmer, and damp qualities of early spring. If you’ve been feeling sluggish, congested, or experiencing digestive heaviness, your body may be signaling the need for a seasonal diet shift. Ayurveda teaches that eating with the seasons helps us maintain balance, prevent illness, and support digestion. March is the time to start lightening up while still maintaining warmth and nourishment as we prepare for the shift into spring. Here’s how to align your diet and lifestyle for a smooth transition into the new season...

​This week we celebrate love. The nourishment it delivers. The inspiration it incites. Love makes us more open to change. Love activates the brain to release chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin, creating feelings of happiness and well-being. That optimistic state makes us more receptive to new experiences and open to trying things differently. Love invites us to give and receive fully. It makes us more compassionate toward others. The medicine of love starts with the heart—not just in the emotional sense, but also mentally, physically, and energetically.
