Carbs get a bad rap in many modern wellness circles, but Ayurveda offers a more nuanced and compassionate take. In this episode, we explore the role of carbohydrates through the Ayurvedic lens. Diet culture and wellness advice can disconnect us from our inner knowing — Ayurveda invites us back.
You’ll learn:
- Why Ayurveda doesn’t villainize carbs — and how they are actually considered grounding, nourishing, and essential for many.
- Why the modern wellness world often gets this wrong (and how this confusion affects women, especially).
- When is it appropriate to consume less carbs according to Ayurveda
- How are carbs linked to our ability to feel stable, grounded and satisfied in life.
and much more!
