Week of November 2nd

For Vata-Pitta types, the time change creates agitated energy— restless and reactive at the same time. You wake up with your mind already racing, but with heat behind those thoughts. Frustration. Irritation. When 5 p.m. darkness hits, you feel restless yet reactive. At night, your mind won't turn off AND your body feels too hot.

This is your Vata-Pitta nervous system— running both fast and hot— getting knocked further out of balance.

In this week's Vata-Pitta Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why the time change amplifies both your scattered Vata energy and your inflammatory Pitta heat— and give you an Evening Cooling Practice to help you adjust quickly.

Your prescription this week is to do your 15-Minute Evening Cooling Practice between 4:30-6:30 p.m. daily— because cooling and slowing your fast, hot system is what finally calms both the anxiety and the reactivity.

Listen now to learn:

• Why Vata-Pitta types experience both scattered anxiety AND inflammatory reactivity with the time change
• How circadian disruption increases inflammatory markers (IL-6, C-reactive protein) that make you both anxious and irritable
• The Evening Cooling Practice that slows your fast energy and cools your hot energy simultaneously

Your Turn: Do your Evening Cooling Practice every evening this week. Notice what happens to your body temperature, your thoughts, that agitated feeling. Tag @myarvasi on Instagram and share what shifted.
