   35. Ovulation Myths Debunked: Tracking Basal Body Temperature, Cervical Mucus & Cervix Position

   Today on the podcast, Brittni and Rita explore ovulation: what it is, why it matters for your overall health, and why so much of what we were taught about it is wrong. They bust common myths about how cycles and conception actually work, and share the simple, empowering ways they track ovulation in their own lives. Whether you’re trying to conceive, avoiding pregnancy, or just want to understand your body better, this episode will change how you think about your cycle. This episode is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice. Please consult your healthcare provider or a qualified fertility awareness educator before using any tracking method for contraception. Highlights: The connection between ovulation and thyroid function, cardiovascular and bone health, mood, sleep, and cognition Why menstruating does not necessarily equate to ovulating, and why apps aren’t always reliable Debunking major myths around ovulation, including cycle length and how conception actually happens How to track your ovulation patterns through cervical fluid observations, temperature tracking, and even cervix position tracking What your cycle can tell you about your hormones before you ever need testing Why tracking can bring clarity and confidence instead of overwhelm, and how to start with just one method Resources and apps to help you begin Resources: Episode 6: What You Were Never Taught About Your Menstrual Cycle—Part 1 (https://ayurvedaforwomenshealth.riverside.com/e/06-what-you-were-never-taught-about-your-menstrual-cycle-part-1) Balance Your Hormones Balance Your Life by Claudia Welch (https://bookshop.org/p/books/balance-your-hormones-balance-your-life-achieving-optimal-health-and-wellness-through-ayurveda-chinese-medicine-and-western-science-claudia-welch/c5136d41b766542d?ean=9780738214825&listref=brittni-s-book-list&aid=118487) Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler (https://bookshop.org/p/books/taking-charge-of-your-fertility-20th-anniversary-edition-toni-weschler-m-p-h/fe5b5e831fbd87ec?ean=9780606369190&listref=brittni-s-book-list&aid=118487) Our favorite tracking app: Read Your Body (https://readyourbody.com/) The Fifth Vital Sign & Fertility Friday Podcast (https://www.fertilityfriday.com/) This episode contains affiliate links.

   34. Ayurveda for Life Transitions: How to Care for Yourself When You're In Survival Mode

   Today on the podcast, Brittni and Rita get honest about something most wellness conversations skip over — what happens to your Ayurvedic practice when life gets genuinely hard. Because living “Ayurvedically” isn’t about the perfect morning routine, cooking every meal from scratch, or never missing a practice. In this episode, Brittni opens up about a year of major transitions and the question it kept bringing her back to — what does it mean to show up for yourself when you’re just trying to survive the day? Together she and Rita explore what Ayurveda actually asks of us in the hard seasons. Highlights: Why living an Ayurvedic lifestyle doesn’t mean having a perfect routine — and what it actually means when life gets hard The concept of emotional digestion in Ayurveda and why creating space to feel your feelings is as important as what you eat Why crying is not a weakness — what Ayurveda and ancient cultures understood about tears that our society has forgotten The one practice Brittni held onto through the chaos of moving How to identify your non-negotiable when everything else has to go Why numbing and resting are not the same thing — and how to tell the difference when you’re burnt out The wheel of life — how to hold onto hope when you’re in the low and gratitude when you’re in the high Small Ayurvedic practices that actually work when you’re in survival mode Banyan Botanicals Nasya/Nose Oil (https://alnk.to/7MezhqW) (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Banyan Botanicals Digestive CCF Tea (https://alnk.to/1Cc1ulZ) (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) Banyan Botanicals Daily Massage Oil (https://alnk.to/7Mezgmc) (Use code WOMENSHEALTH15 for 15% off) This episode contains affiliate links.

   33. Ayurvedic Nutrition Explained: The Seven Tissues & How Food Becomes Your Body

   Today on the podcast, Brittni and Rita explore one of the most fascinating and foundational concepts in Ayurvedic nutrition — the seven tissues, known in Sanskrit as the Seven Dhatus. From lymph and blood to muscle, fat, bone, nervous system tissue, and reproductive organs, each layer of tissue in the body has its own nutritional needs, its own elemental qualities, and its own way of showing up in your symptoms when something is off. In this episode they break down what each tissue needs to thrive, how food moves through each layer sequentially over 35 days, and why understanding this framework can completely transform how you think about nutrition, digestion, and healing. Highlights: What the seven tissues are and why Ayurveda considers this framework the foundation of truly individualized nutrition How food becomes your body — the fascinating 35-day journey from your plate to your deepest tissues Why two people can eat the exact same diet and have completely different results — and what that actually means for your health What your hair, skin, nails, teeth, energy, and menstrual cycle are really telling you about which tissues need support The specific foods that nourish each tissue — and why healthy fats, minerals, and building foods are just as important as protein Why digestion is the missing piece — and how even the most nutritious diet won’t reach your tissues if your Agni isn’t strong The connection between tissue depletion and symptoms like painful periods, bone issues, nervous system imbalances, and more Why Ayurvedic healing takes time — and how understanding this timeline can bring patience and clarity to your wellness journey We'd love to hear from you!
