Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi: Vata-Pitta Edition

Creatine can help Vata-Pitta—but it's complicated. It addresses the "empty" side of you by supporting your depleted cells. But for the Pitta side, that same boost can mean more heat. You know this pattern: supplements either calm you down but tank your energy—or boost your energy but leave you wired and irritable. Anything that helps one pattern seems to make the other worse. Creatine doesn't have...

Your engine is revving and overheating—at the same time. The Vata in you is scattered. Racing thoughts. Anxiety. Can't settle. The Pitta in you is burning. Driven. Intense. Can't stop. Together, they create a pattern nobody talks about: wired but empty. Running on fumes AND running hot. Depleted AND irritable. Last week, you tracked which pattern shows up first each morning—the scattered anxiety o...

Wired but empty. That's the only way to describe it. You're lying in bed exhausted, but your brain is writing emails, rehearsing conversations, solving problems you can't do anything about at 2am. Morning you makes commitments that afternoon you can't keep. You smile through meetings while your body is begging you to stop. People see your intensity and assume you have energy. They don't see that t...

The Week of January 4th: Your Energy Fix Starts Now—Winter Season Preview Something new begins January 11th.

The Week of December 21st: Vata-Pitta Health Rx — That wired-but-angry feeling. You know the one. Your Vata side collected anxiety all fall—the racing thoughts.

The Week of December 15th: Vata-Pitta Health Rx - Ten weeks of fall. You can feel it in your mind and your muscles. Racing thoughts that won't quit. Tension behind your eyes. Shoulders locked.

This week's prescription: Legs Up the Wa...

The Week of December 7th: Vata-Pitta Health Rx — Your digestion is swinging between two extremes. Yesterday– constipated, today– running to the bathroom. Acid reflux when stressed. Bloating that feels hot and distended. Fall dried out your Vata side while stress inflamed your Pitta side. It's like a dry forest that's also on fire. This week's prescription: Warm CCF tea with ghee and extra coriande...

The Week of November 23rd: Vata-Pitta Health Rx — If you're a Vata-Pitta type, Thanksgiving week hits you from two directions at once– -anxiety and anger simultaneously.

The Week of November 9th: Vata-Pitta Health Rx --- For Vata-Pitta types, maybe this is what's happening: You push through your intense workout---your HIIT class, your hard run, your competitive class where you're trying to keep up---and afterward, you feel wired and hot.

Week of November 2nd For Vata-Pitta types, the time change creates agitated energy— restless and reactive at the same time. You wake up with your mind already racing, but with heat behind those thoughts. Frustration. Irritation. When 5 p.m. darkness hits, you feel restless yet reactive. At night, your mind won't turn off AND your body feels too hot. This is your Vata-Pitta nervous system— running...

Week of October 26th: For Vata–Pitta types, your nervous system runs too fast and too hot. You wake up with racing thoughts that quickly turn into irritability, your mind won't stop spinning but you also feel heat building underneath.

Your estrobolome is misfiring—and you're caught between Vata's dryness and Pitta's heat. In this week's Vata–Pitta Health Rx , integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic...

The Week of October 12th For Vata–Pitta types, fall mornings often start fast and burn out faster. You wake with fire and clarity, skip water and breakfast because you're "not hungry yet," grab coffee, and plow through your to-do list—until mid-morning when focus tanks, patience thins, and the energy you started with crashes hard. In this week's Vata–Pitta Health Rx , integrative medicine physicia...
