In this episode, Ayurvedic practitioner Kate O'Donnell dives into the pivotal role of digestion in overall health. She explains how, according to Ayurveda, all diseases originate in the gut due to toxins, or "ama," formed from poorly digested food. Kate highlights the importance of a strong digestive fire, or "agni," to prevent toxin buildup and ensure proper nourishment. She offers practical tips on avoiding cold foods, overeating, and snacking between meals. Additionally, she touches on the impact of stress and emotional eating on digestion.
