Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi: Pitta Edition

Pitta is the dosha most likely to experience heat aggravation from creatine. Your cells aren't underperforming—they're overperforming. You don't have a fuel production problem. You have a fuel consumption problem. You burn through everything. You've been here before—supplements for energy that left you more irritable, more inflamed, sleeping worse, skin breaking out. So when you hear about creatin...

By the time you feel the crash, it's already too late. You wake up hot. Ready. Driven. Full intensity from the moment your eyes open. By 10am, you've done more than most people do all day. By 3pm, you're running on fumes. By evening, you're irritable, resentful, snapping at everyone you love. The crash at 3pm wasn't caused at 3pm. It was set at 6am—when you started the day at full intensity with n...

People ask how you do it all. You don't tell them you're running on fumes. You burn hot—productive, driven, getting more done before 9am than most people do all day. And then you crash. Hard. Irritable. Resentful. Snapping at your partner, no patience for your kids, hating everyone in that meeting. You've given everything and there's nothing left. And even then, you're angry at yourself for needin...

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: Pitta Health Rx — You've been carrying frustration all fall. And you may not even realize it. The project that didn't go as planned. The person who let you down. Your driven Pitta nature holds onto "it should have been different" energy. Resentment. Self-criticism. The heat of unmet expectations. This week's prescription: A two-part clearing ritual—morning light walk and...

The Week of December 15th: Pitta Health Rx - Ten weeks of fall. You've pushed through every one of them. You don't look stressed. You're still performing, still delivering, still getting it done. But underneath? Fire. Tension behind your eyes. Jaw clenched. That sharp, driven energy that won't turn off—even when you need it to. Your body has been accumulating. And surrender doesn't come naturally...

The Week of December 7th: Pitta Health Rx — Let's be honest. Your gut is hot, acidic, angry. Heartburn at night. Burning elimination. Urgency. Skin breakouts. You wake at 3am feeling hot and agitated. You never cleared summer's heat. Then stress and December's rich foods added more. Your liver is overwhelmed. This week's prescription: WARM (not hot) CCF tea with turmeric—clearing inflammation with...

The Week of November 23rd: Pitta Health Rx — If you're a Pitta type, Thanksgiving week is about managing one thing: heat rising into anger. You're worried that when someone says something triggering, you're going to snap. You'll say something sharp and cutting that you can't take back. You'll feel the heat rising, literally feel your face flush, your chest tighten, and you won't be able to stop yo...

The Week of November 16th: Pitta Health Rx If you're a Pitta type, Thanksgiving week kicks off the holiday season— and with all the parties, family celebrations, and rich foods ahead, managing inflammation becomes critical. You're worried that one night of rich food and alcohol will trigger days of heartburn, acid reflux, and that burning sensation in your stomach and chest that won't go away. You...

The Week of November 9th: Pitta Health Rx --- For Pitta types, maybe this is what's happening: You're maintaining your summer workout intensity---the same classes, the same training schedule, the same competitive drive. And your joints hurt---not just sore, but inflamed. Hot, swollen, tender. Your knees, your hips, maybe your shoulders. You're finishing your workouts feeling accomplished, feeling...

Week of November 2nd For Pitta types, the time change makes you irritable and reactive. You wake up frustrated before your feet even hit the floor. When 5 p.m. darkness hits, your body wants to wind down but you still have so much to do, so you override that signal and push through.  This is your Pitta system— running hot and intense— getting pushed further out of balance.  In this week'...

Week of October 26th: For Pitta types, your nervous system runs on maximum heat. You wake up ready to tackle the day but find yourself snapping at the people you love, efficient and productive but also sharp and reactive. This agitation shows up most in Love & Connection—you're irritable with your partner, short with your kids, competent but not present. In this week's Pitta Health Rx , integr...

The Week of October 19th For Pitta types, fall still carries summer's heat—and it shows up as acid reflux, inflamed skin breakouts, digestive irritation, and painful periods. Your estrobolome can't clear estrogen when inflammation is running high, and the wrong breakfast makes it worse. In this week's Pitta Health Rx , integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh an...

The Week of October 12th For Pitta types, fall mornings often start with heat that never cooled overnight. You go to bed on time, wake on schedule—but if your mind was still churning from yesterday, you wake irritable, tense, or with reflux. By mid-morning, you're sharp but reactive, focused but inflamed. In this week's Pitta Health Rx , integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Av...

The Week of October 5th For Pitta types, fall mornings often carry heat from the night before—leaving you irritable, restless, or foggy despite discipline around bedtime. In this week’s Pitta Health Rx , Drs. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Tanmeet Sethi explain how leftover fire disrupts your cortisol awakening response, scattering focus and productivity—and how a simple cooling prescription resets clarit...
