APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | OTHER PLAYERS

What if the reason you feel sluggish, moody, or “off” isn’t your hormones, your diet, or even stress levels but a hidden imbalance in your inner climate? In this episode, I sat down with Nidhi Pindya, an Ayurvedic practitioner, to break open a new way to understand what’s actually happening inside your body. Nidhi reveals why popular wellness habits (like cold smoothies, apple cider vinegar, and intermittent fasting) could be secretly sabotaging your energy and digestion, plus how to finally figure out what’s right for your unique system.

You’ll learn what Ayurveda really means, how it contrasts with Western wellness, and a relatable breakdown of the three inner climates running the show in your body. Nidhi also reveals how to spot your own climate’s clues—hot and dry, cold and stagnant, parched and depleted—and why tuning into this can radically change the way you eat, move, and structure your day. She shares practical rituals and food swaps that help restore warmth and flow, using simple steps that actually fit real life.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a fresh lens on wellness that’s grounded, doable, and way more connected to your actual needs—not just trending advice. If you’re ready to ditch “one-size-fits-all” health advice and tap into a system that meets you where you are, hit play and let’s dive in.

Nidhi is a NAMA-certified Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner (CAAP) based in NYC and the creator of the Inner Climate® Framework—a fresh, modern take on Ayurveda that blends ancient wisdom with today’s science.
