Fall Pumpkin Turmeric Buttered Coffee (Ayurvedic Bulletproof Coffee)
Autumn is the season of crisp mornings, falling leaves, and the airy, cool energy of Vata dosha. As the body transitions into fall, we crave warm, grounding, and nourishing foods and drinks that bring stability and comfort. This Fall Pumpkin Turmeric Buttered Coffee is my Ayurvedic twist on the popular bulletproof coffee trend—infused with pumpkin, turmeric, and cozy fall spices.
Winter Salts: Warming & Energizing Blend for Kapha Season
Winter is the season of Kapha dosha—heavy, slow, damp, and cool. These qualities help us feel nourished and cozy, but they can also lead to sluggish digestion, low energy, and congestion. This Winter Salts blend is spicy, stimulating, and invigorating, designed to balance Kapha by warming the body, boosting metabolism, and clearing stagnation. Sprinkle it on soups, legumes, roasted vegetables, or even avocado toast for an energizing kick that keeps you light and bright through the colder months.
Fall Salts: Grounding Ayurvedic Blend for Vata Season
Fall ushers in the Vata dosha—dry, light, cool, and unpredictable, just like the wind. While autumn inspires creativity and clarity, it can also bring anxiety, dryness, and digestive irregularity. This Fall Salts blend is warming, grounding, and nourishing, designed to balance Vata’s airy qualities. With earthy spices and mineral-rich salt, it enhances roasted vegetables, soups, and grains—bringing comfort and steadiness to your meals as the seasons shift.
Summer Salts: Cooling Ayurvedic Blend for Pitta Season
Summer brings the fiery energy of the Pitta dosha—hot, sharp, and intense. While the warmth fuels activity and creativity, it can also lead to overheating, irritability, and inflammation. This Summer Salts blend is designed to cool and calm Pitta, soothe digestion, and keep the body refreshed. Light, cooling herbs paired with mineral salt make this the perfect seasoning for fresh vegetables, salads, or cooling summer soups.
Hormone-Balancing Chia Pudding
As we navigate perimenopause, hormonal fluctuations can lead to symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and weight gain. One simple way to support hormonal balance is through nutrient-dense breakfasts, and chia pudding is a powerhouse for stabilizing estrogen levels.
Spring Salts: An Ayurvedic Blend for Renewal
Spring is the season of renewal—when nature comes alive and we shed the heaviness of winter. According to Ayurveda, spring is ruled by the Kapha dosha (earth and water), which can leave us feeling sluggish, congested, and heavy. Creating a Spring Salts blend with herbs and spices helps to balance Kapha, clear stagnation, and bring energy back into the body. This mineral-rich, spiced salt can be sprinkled over vegetables, soups, or warm grains to add both flavor and seasonal balance.

Winter Turmeric Buttered Coffee (Ayurvedic Bulletproof Coffee with Pumpkin)
On frosty mornings, there’s nothing more comforting than wrapping your hands around a warm mug of coffee. This Winter Turmeric Buttered Coffee takes the popular bulletproof coffee concept and gives it an Ayurvedic twist, blending the grounding richness of pumpkin with the warming spice of turmeric.
Buttered coffee—blended with healthy fats like MCT oil and grass-fed butter—is known for providing sustained energy, appetite balance, and sharper focus. In Ayurveda, adding pumpkin and warming spices makes this drink even more seasonal and supportive, helping balance Vata’s dryness and Kapha’s sluggishness during the colder months.
Roasting Root Vegetables the Ayurvedic Way
Root vegetables are some of the most grounding, nourishing foods you can eat—especially in the fall and winter. According to Ayurveda, fall is dominated by Vata dosha (dry, cold, and erratic). The sweet, heavy, and stabilizing qualities of root vegetables help pacify Vata and bring warmth and stability to body and mind.
Roasting root vegetables is not only delicious—it also enhances their natural sweetness, makes them easier to digest, and aligns perfectly with Ayurvedic principles of seasonal eating.
Squash: A perfect Fall Ingredient
As the crisp air of fall arrives, our bodies naturally crave warmth, nourishment, and grounding foods. In Ayurveda, this is the season of Vata dosha—characterized by qualities of dryness, coldness, lightness, and unpredictability. To balance Vata, we turn to foods that are sweet, heavy, and nourishing. Squash is one of the most perfect fall foods for bringing balance and stability during this season.
Get Grounded Brownies (Ayurvedic Fall Recipe with Ashwagandha)

Detaching from Illness: A Buddhist Practice for Healing
When we face illness—whether a sudden diagnosis or a lifelong condition—it can be difficult to remain positive and trust the process of healing.
