Back-to-school season isn’t just about school supplies and new schedules—it’s also a time of significant change for body and mind. In this episode of Everyday Ayurveda with Kate, host Kate O’Donnell explores how both seasonal shifts and cultural transitions (like returning to school or work routines) can stir up anxiety, digestive upset, and sleep disturbances. Drawing from Ayurveda’s timeless wisdom, Kate offers practical strategies to bring balance and rhythm back into your life.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why fall transitions often trigger Vata imbalance
  • The connection between sudden schedule shifts and anxiety
  • How to gradually adjust sleep and mealtimes for better balance
  • Ayurvedic food strategies for easing digestion during change
  • Why simple, warm meals help during transitional periods
  • Easy practices to ground your nervous system in September
  • Evening routines to support sleep and calm the mind
