Kristen Timchak
About this episode

Send us a text

Do you experience gas, bloating or indigestion?  You may need to work on your kindling your digestive fire.  In Ayurveda, we call this agni.  A digestive fire that burns just right will make digestion more efficient and can have a positive impact on other body systems.  


In this episode, I delve into the importance of digestion and its impact on various aspects of health, including the nervous system, hormones, and immune function. 

I share five practical and cost-free tips to improve digestion: drinking warm or room temperature water, chewing food thoroughly, maintaining consistent daily meal times, being mindful around snacking, and eating in a relaxed state. 

Emphasizing the role of self-love and mindfulness, I encourage listeners to experiment with these practices and observe the benefits over time.

In this episode: 

  • The Importance of Digestion in Ayurveda
  • Tip 1: Drink Warm or Room Temperature Water
  • Tip 2: Chew Your Food Thoroughly
  • Tip 3: Create Daily Rhythms
  • Tip 4: Be Mindful Around Snacking
  • Tip 5: Eat in a Relaxed State
