The Week of November 9th: Pitta-Kapha Health Rx ---

For Pitta-Kapha types, maybe this is what's happening---and it's confusing: When you exercise hard---like really push yourself---you feel inflamed and exhausted afterward. Your joints hurt, they feel hot and swollen. You're irritable. Your body feels heavy and you just want to lie down.

So you think, "Okay, I'll exercise less. I'll take it easier." But then when you don't exercise, or when you do very gentle movement, you feel stuck. Heavy. Stagnant. Like your metabolism completely shut down. Like your energy is trapped under this thick blanket of inertia.

You're oscillating between two bad options: push too hard and feel inflamed and depleted, or don't push enough and feel stuck and heavy. Neither feels good. Neither feels sustainable.

You thought you just needed to find the right intensity. But you're caught between inflammation and stagnation.

In this week's Pitta-Kapha Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why you need movement that activates without inflaming---the Goldilocks approach that's not too hot, not too heavy.

This week, you'll get a steady, moderate activation prescription that unlocks your natural stamina.

Listen now to learn:

  • Why Pitta-Kapha types get stuck between inflammation and stagnation---and why you need the Goldilocks approach to exercise
  • The type of movement that works for your body: consistent, moderate-intensity exercise that stimulates without overheating
  • Why consistency matters MORE than intensity for your metabolism

Your Turn: Try the steady, moderate activation practice this week and notice what happens to your energy, your inflammation, your sense of engagement. Tag @myarvasi on Instagram and share what shifted.
