Monthly conversations with vaidyas I really admire, asking the questions that never came up in class. If you’re curious about how Ayurveda, tune in and learn along with me.

I’m a holistic wellness counselor and I believe food is medicine — so I wrote a couple of cookbooks:

The Essential Ayurvedic Cookbook - An introduction to Ayurveda and 200 recipes with variations for gluten free, dairy free, and carnivores.

Sorry to hear about the pollen invasion.

Try a warm saline nasal rinse. Will cleanse the pollen from the cilia in your nose so it can be more effective at trapping incoming pollen.

Think of it like your HVAC filter, but needs to be flushed 2x a day until heavy pollen subsides. .

A little licorice tea can help clear congestion from your lungs (if the sinuses are draining there).

New episode: Ayurveda & Jyotish: How Your Birth Chart Reveals Your Health & Life Purpose

This one was really fun and interesting.

I’ve always been fascinated by astrology. When I first discovered Jyotish/Vedic/sidreal Astrology on a trip to India in 2002, I was surprised at how different it was from Western/tropical astrology. It’s deeper, spiritual, and frames obstacles as ways to keep you aligned with your dharma.

Jyotish is closely linked to Ayurveda, helping you understand your prakruti, health tendencies, and how the planets connect to the doshas (Saturn as vata, Mars as pitta, etc.).

Josh reads the chart as a blueprint for fulfilling your life’s purpose and is one of the few Westerners who bridges cultural context. At the end of the episode, Josh reviews David Bowie’s health chart which foretells the potential for and timing of his health issues.

Listen on Fountain or watch on YouTube.

"Jyotish is fascinating—I spent time in India studying its astronomical roots, and the sidereal vs. tropical divide is deeper than most realize. But tying celestial mechanics to health always makes me pause; cosmic patterns don’t dictate fate. On a related note, saw an eerie parallel today: Russ...

I bought some liver from a local farm a few years ago and wasn't excited about the flavor or texture....I tried a couple different recipes and recall that pre-soaking in milk was helpful...

But I always had to smother in caramelized onions bc I didn't like the underlying taste

I didn't restock when that order was finished 😆

I did the milk presoak and used a ton of onion. My experience was pretty much the same as yours. I'm going to freeze most of this stuff and try to eat it in batches. Maybe grind it and use it in sauces. Lots to experiment with.

Laying here trying to make myself move but my head is pounding. Then I remember The Pollening has begun.

Sorry you're dealing with this.

Warm water saline rinse of the nostrils will flush out the pollen so the cilia in your nose can continue to filter at peak capacity.

It's like changing your HVAC air filter.

If some pollen has entered your lungs and causing irritation there, a little ginger root and licorice root tea will soothe the membranes there...

Inhaling Eucalyptus steam can also help clear the sinuses...

Hope you're feeling better soon 🙏🙏🙏
