26. Perimenopause & Menopause Support: Hot Flashes, Hormonal Changes, Weight Gain & Anxiety

Episode 26

Wednesday, September 2, 2026 • Duration 01:07:05

If you're in the middle of perimenopause or menopause and feeling like your body has completely changed overnight — this episode is for you. Hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, anxiety, insomnia, mood swings, dryness — these symptoms are real, they're disorienting, and most women are told very little about why they're happening or what they can actually do about them.

Today Rita and Brittni break it all down through the Ayurvedic lens, offering a framework that finally makes sense of what the body is going through — and practical tools that can work alongside or before turning to HRT. There is so much more to this conversation than most women are ever told, whether you're considering HRT, already on it, or looking for additional ways to support your body through this transition, we hope this conversation offers a helpful perspective.

Highlights:

Why perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety, insomnia, and dryness happen
The three stages of life in Ayurveda and why this transition is one of the most profound transformations a woman moves through
Why losing estrogen and progesterone is like losing your body's buffer — and what that means for your mood, sleep, and digestion
Weight gain around the middle during perimenopause — what Ayurveda says is actually happening and why restriction often makes it worse
Why common wellness trends like intermittent fasting, cold plunging, hot yoga, and cutting carbs can backfire during this transition
The Ayurvedic tools that actually help — Abhyanga, alternate nostril breathing, daily routine, grounding foods, and gentle movement
An honest, judgment-free conversation about HRT, lifestyle medicine, and why starting to support yourself earlier always makes a difference
The powerful reframe — why this transition, as hard as it is, is also one of the most transformative chapters of a woman's life

25. The Six Tastes: How to Use Food as Medicine for Your Body, Cravings & Seasonal Health

Episode 25

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • Duration 01:01:52

Today on the podcast, Rita and Brittni break down one of the most foundational concepts in Ayurvedic nutrition — the six tastes. Sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent each carry specific elemental qualities that have a direct effect on digestion, tissues, cravings, and overall balance in the body. In this episode, they walk through each taste, the foods that embody it, and how to work with them based on your constitution, the season, and what your body is asking for. This one is equal parts educational and practical, and a great episode to share with anyone who's curious about using food as medicine.

Highlights:

What the six tastes are and why Ayurveda uses taste — not macros or calories — as its primary framework for understanding food
A breakdown of each taste, its elemental qualities, and which doshas it balances or aggravates
Why incorporating all six tastes can reduce cravings and help you feel truly satiated after a meal
The difference between lemon and lime — and why it matters more than you might think
Why ferments, sourdough, and other wellness staples aren't always the right choice for every body or every season
How seasonal eating maps directly onto the six tastes — and why nature makes it easier than you think
Easy, practical ways to start incorporating all six tastes into your everyday cooking without overhauling your whole diet

How Rita currently balances two careers — Ayurvedic clinician and medical speech-language pathologist, and how certain symptoms are looked at through both lenses.
What it was really like for Brittni to live out of her truck through a New England winter, and what that season of life taught her
