In this episode, Rita and Brittni break down the three Ayurvedic mind-body types — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — and why understanding yours might be the most empowering thing you can do for your health.

Highlights:

- What your mind-body constitution actually means in Ayurveda- and how it differs from your imbalances

- The physical, mental, and emotional profiles of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha

- Why your greatest health challenges are often just your greatest gifts in excess

- Understanding your constitution as a means to heal body image insecurities and find more compassion for yourself and others

- How modern body type science (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph) mirrors what Ayurveda has known for 5,000 years

- How to use this information to discern what foods, herbs, and wellness trends are right or wrong for you
