Ayurveda + the Energetics of Food with Sahara Rose [Episode 230]

Continuing our conversation with best-selling author and Ayurvedic nutritionist, Sahara Rose, we now take the plunge into understanding the Gunas. Just like there are three Doshas—Vata, Pitta and Kapha—in Ayurveda there are also three cosmic forces, which are the subtler forms of each Dosha—prana, tejas, and ojas. These energies are present in the foods you eat, and consuming foods that are high in prana, tejas, or ojas can bring those energies into your body. After Sahara educates us about the Gunas, I quiz her on what tools we need at home to make Ayruvedic recipes in our modern kitchen. The go-to kitchen tools she loves may surprise you! --- Sahara Rose is the best-selling author of the Idiot's Guide to Ayurveda, which is the #1 best-selling Ayurveda book globally and the upcoming Eat Feel Fresh: A Plant-Based Ayurvedic Cookbook. She has been called “a leading voice for the millennial generation into the new paradigm shift” by Deepak Chopra, who wrote the foreword of both her titles.   Special Guest: Sahara Rose https://www.iamsahararose.com/   Creator & Host: Brett Larkin http://www.brettlarkin.com/   Sound Engineer: Zach Cooper www.zmcmusic.tumblr.com   Producer: Benn Mendelson www.sivanaspirit.com www.sivanapodcast.com   Support the Show:   Please consider leaving us a rating or review on iTunes!
