Pitta-Kapha Health Rx --- How to Adjust to Daylight Savings Time Change


Listen Later

Week of November 2nd

For Pitta-Kapha types, the time change creates a miserable middle ground. You wake up heavy and foggy, hitting snooze multiple times. Your energy comes online for a few hours, then fades. When 5 p.m. darkness hits, your body wants to completely shut down. But then you feel guilty and frustrated with yourself. "I should be doing more. I'm wasting time."

You're caught between Kapha heaviness and Pitta drive— too heavy to engage but irritated with yourself for being heavy.

In this week's Pitta-Kapha Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why the time change blunts your morning cortisol while your Pitta drive creates frustration— and give you an Evening Activation Practice to stay engaged.

Your prescription this week is to do your 20-Minute Evening Activation Practice between 4:30-6:30 p.m. daily— because activating your sluggish system is what helps break the cycle of heaviness and guilt.

Listen now to learn:

  • Why Pitta-Kapha types get stuck between wanting to engage and wanting to collapse after the time change
  • How circadian misalignment blunts your morning cortisol rise, making you heavy and unmotivated
  • The Evening Activation Practice that prevents the 5 p.m. shutdown and keeps you engaged

Your Turn: Do your Evening Activation Practice every evening this week---no skipping. Notice what happens to your energy, motivation, and sense of purpose. Tag @myarvasi on Instagram and share what shifted.
