Bridging Eastern teachings in the Western world.
In this deeply grounding episode, Gia dives into the healing power of Lavana — the Salty Taste, the essence of cohesion, hydration, and heartfelt connection.
Salt is the great harmonizer, it binds, balances, and restores wholeness. It reminds us of the sacred waters within: our tears, our tides, our emotional fluidity. Through Lavana, we remember how to soften, how to feel more deeply, and how to connect more honestly with ourselves...
In this enlivening episode, Gia explores the vibrant and catalytic power of Amla, the Sour Taste, the sharp spark that awakens digestion, sharpens perception, and cuts through emotional fog.
Sour isn’t just tangy on the tongue, it’s a call to clarity, a jolt of energy that revives the senses and reignites the soul. Rooted in Earth and Fire, this taste helps us metabolize not only food, but life’s experiences bringing us back into pr...
In this soul-soothing episode, Gia invites you into the tender world of Madhura — the Sweet Taste, the first and most foundational of the Six Tastes in Ayurveda.

Discover how Madhura supports emotional stability, sensual embodiment, and inner stillness ...

Through poetic storytelling and practical insight, Gia reveals how rasa, the Sanskrit word for both “taste” and “esse...
In this episode of A Talk with G, we unravel the mysteries surrounding Blood Type AB, often referred to in the Blood Type Diet community as “The Enigma.” As the rarest of all blood types, Type AB is said to embody a unique blend of the characteristics found in both Type A and Type B individuals, resulting in a complex nutritional profile that supposedly requires careful balance and moderation.

But how much of this is backed by science, and where did these claims come fro...
In this episode of A Talk with G, we spotlight Blood Type A, known in the Blood Type Diet world as “The Cultivator.” G explores the theory that people with Type A blood do best on a plant-based, agrarian-style diet, rich in vegetables, grains, legumes and low in meat and dairy.
