Inside My 7-Day Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse

This episode takes you behind the scenes of my personal 7-day Ayurvedic spring cleanse. From the meals and herbal supports to the emotional and physical shifts, I walk you through each day of the journey—what I ate, how I felt, and how I stayed grounded through it all.

You’ll hear how I gradually transitioned from denser meals to lighter ones, supported my digestion with Ayurvedic herbs, and experienced a deep reset—not just in my body but also in my energy and mindset. I also share the often-overlooked post-cleanse phase, samsarjana krama, and how it helps restore digestive fire and long-term wellbeing.

If you’re curious about what a gentle, real-life Ayurvedic cleanse actually looks like—or you’re preparing for your own—you’ll find inspiration, practical tips, and permission to take it slow and stay warm.
