The Week of November 23rd: Vata-Pitta Health Rx —
If you're a Vata-Pitta type, Thanksgiving week hits you from two directions at once– -anxiety and anger simultaneously.
You're worried that when stress hits, you're going to feel both spinning with worry AND hot with irritation. Someone changes the plan again and you feel anxious about the chaos but also frustrated that no one's being efficient. You'll be caught between wanting to control everything and feeling scattered about everything.
Because here's what's probably already happening: Your mind is racing about logistics and what could go wrong— that's your Vata side. But simultaneously, you're irritated. Someone's not thinking things through and your jaw clenches. Your chest tightens. You want to say something sharp— that's your Pitta side. So you're anxious AND angry at the same time. Worried AND critical. Your breath gets fast and shallow, your thoughts race, but you also feel hot. Your face flushes. Your body temperature rises.
And November's cold, dry, windy, chaotic energy is triggering your Vata anxiety— that scattered, can't-think-straight feeling. But when your Vata anxiety spikes, it heats your Pitta side. The more anxious you get, the more irritated you become. The racing thoughts fuel the anger. It's like wind fanning flames.
In this week's Vata-Pitta Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why Vata-Pitta types experience both anxiety and irritation simultaneously, and why you need both cooling and calming.
This week, you'll get a specific 3-5 minute practice that combines cooling breath with a cool environment— addressing both the mental spiral and the inflammatory heat at the same time.
Listen now to learn:
- Why Vata-Pitta types experience racing thoughts AND rising anger when triggered and how the season amplifies both
- The cooling breath technique that lowers body temperature while calming anxiety
- Why cooling breath reduces inflammatory markers that fuel irritability while extended exhales calm racing thoughts
Hormonal changes affect your nervous system, and the right support makes all the difference. Dr. Kumar-Singh and Dr. Sethi have curated the Hormonal Health Prescription Toolkit with physician-selected products and protocols specifically designed to support your stress hormones and inflammatory pathways through perimenopause and menopause.
