Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi

"It works in the moment but twenty minutes later the anxiety is right back." "Breathing exercises aren't going to fix what's wrong with the world." "I actually felt something — genuine sadness — and then the heaviness came back." These are the real questions you sent us this month. And they deserve real answers — not generic FAQ responses, but answers from two physicians who understand your consti...

You open your phone to check one thing. Thirty minutes later, you've read about six different crises, your chest is tight, and you can't remember what you originally opened the phone to do. You're not weak. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it's designed to do—scanning for threats that never stop coming. And in perimenopause, the scrolling isn't soothing your anxiety. It's compounding it....

Last week, we explained WHY your mood has shifted—the worn brakes, the sensitive thermostat, the biology no one warned you about. This week, you asked the question we hear most: "Okay, but what do I actually DO when it's happening?" "I know I'm spiraling but I can't stop." "I tell myself to calm down and it makes it worse." "I've tried breathing exercises. I've tried counting to ten. Nothing works...

"I have this low-grade anxiety humming in my chest all day long." "I'm anxious about everything—and nothing—at the same time." "I can't tell if the world is falling apart or I am." Sound familiar? Here's the truth: it's not just the news. And it's not just hormones. It's both—hitting you at the same time, in the hardest month of the year. February is when winter finally catches up with you. Your b...

"I used to hit a wall at 2pm—now I have steady energy until dinner." "My family noticed I'm not snapping at everyone by evening anymore." "I actually want to get out of bed now." These aren't hypotheticals. These are real women who stopped guessing and started following the protocol we gave them—built for their body, their constitution, their biology. The difference? They didn't just learn about e...

Everyone's talking about creatine. Your trainer mentioned it. Your friend swears by it. It's all over social media. But here's what nobody's telling you: almost everything you're hearing was studied in 20-year-old male athletes whose bodies work completely differently than yours. So what does the research actually say for YOU—a woman in hormonal transition? This week, we break down the emerging sc...

Third cup of coffee and you're still dragging. The crash hits at 2pm like clockwork—or maybe it's 10am, or maybe it's random and you never know when it's coming. You've tried the morning routines. The sunrise alarm. The protein-heavy breakfast everyone recommends. Nothing sticks. Here's what nobody told you: your energy isn't random. It's set—in the first 60 to 90 minutes after you wake up. Get th...

Third cup of coffee by 10am and you still can't think straight. You've tried the supplements, the earlier bedtime, the morning routine from that podcast. Nothing works like it used to. And underneath the exhaustion is the question you're afraid to ask out loud: Am I just lazy? You're not. Something real has changed in your biology—and it started before you even noticed symptoms. Your cells are str...

The Week of January 11th: Easing Back In—A Quick Update on the Winter Season We told you the Winter season would begin today—but life happened, and we're pushing our start to next Sunday, January 18th. Here's the thing: we could have rushed it. But that's not how we want to show up for you. And honestly? It's the first full week back from the holidays. You're probably still trying to find your foo...

The Week of January 4th: Your Energy Fix Starts Now—Winter Season Preview Something new begins January 11th. We've been listening to what you've told us—the exhaustion, the frustration, the feeling that your body just isn't responding anymore. I'm exhausted—and nothing that used to work is working anymore. We hear you. For the first five weeks of Winter, we're going deep on one topic: energy . Not...

The Week of December 21st: Eleven weeks of fall. You can feel every one of them. The mental replaying of conversations. The decisions you're still second-guessing. The physical weight—not just from holidays, but from three months of accumulated tension sitting in your body. You want a fresh start, but underneath is the quiet knowing: you can't build something new on a cluttered foundation. The win...

The Week of December 15th: Ten weeks of fall. You can feel every one of them. That tightness across your shoulders that won't release no matter how much you stretch. The heaviness in your legs by evening—like they've been working all day even when you've been sitting. Your lower back aches. Your hips feel locked. And at night, even when you're exhausted, your body won't fully let go. You lie down...

The Week of December 7th: December. Your digestion has been through it. Two months of cold, dry Vata season. October's routine changes. Thanksgiving's feast. Holiday parties that haven't stopped. Now you feel it—heaviness that won't lift, bloating by noon, elimination that's unpredictable at best. Food just... sits there. You've got three more weeks of December ahead. You can't do a restrictive cl...

The Week of November 23rd: This is it. This is the last week of November— peak Vata season. Cold, dry, windy, chaotic energy has been accumulating for two months. And your nervous system is already more reactive, more easily overstimulated, more on edge than it was in September. And now it's also Thanksgiving week. Family is coming or you're traveling. The group texts started days ago. There's gri...

The Week of November 16th: Thanksgiving is next week, kicking off the holiday parties, family celebrations, and meals. And if you're like most women in their 40s and 50s, you're already thinking about more than just the menu and travel logistics— you're thinking about how your digestive system will handle it. A few years ago, you could eat Thanksgiving dinner, have pie, have wine, go back for seco...

The Week of November 9th: Maybe this is you: Your usual workout---the one that gave you energy all summer and even into early October---now leaves you completely exhausted. You finish your run or your yoga class and you need to lie down. You actually need a nap. Your knees might be aching when you go downstairs. You're staying sore for days after workouts that used to be easy just a few weeks ago....

Week of November 2nd This weekend, the clocks fell back one hour. Daylight saving time ended. And suddenly, it's dark by 5 p.m.--- right when you still have your whole evening ahead of you. Maybe you've been waking up at 3 a.m. with your mind already racing. By 5 p.m. when darkness hits, your body wants to completely shut down. You're snapping at people over tiny things. You're sleeping more but s...

Week of October 26th: This week, we're teaching you how to calm your cortisol loop—so you can stop feeling tired but wired, stop snapping at loved ones, and finally settle at night. This month in October, you've been building your morning protocol one week at a time. But if you're still struggling with anxiety, brain fog, irritability, or that exhausted yet-on-edge feeling—your cortisol is stuck i...

The Week of October 19th This week, we're telling you exactly what to eat—because the right breakfast can finally stop bloating, clear your skin, and calm PMS. You've reset your morning light. You've timed your first meal. But if hormonal symptoms are still showing up, your gut bacteria are the missing link. In this episode of Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi , integrative medicine physicians and Ayurve...

Your morning routine is either building hormonal balance—or breaking it. As days shorten and Vata energy rises, your hormones are the first to feel it. That mid-morning crash, the bloating, the irritability you can't shake—they're not random. They're signals that cortisol and estrogen are misfiring. In this episode of Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi , integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic exper...

Fall doesn’t just happen outside—it happens inside your body. Shorter days, cooler winds, and shifting rhythms stir Vata energy: creativity when balanced, but anxiety, fatigue, and restless nights when not. In this first fall episode of Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi , integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi reveal why morning light is the “ig...
