So Today's she's here to share how we 19 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: can apply our Euveda principles to our everyday lives. 20 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: Especially when it comes to our diets. 21 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, this conversation with Roddy has us wondering what if 22 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: the key to our well being lies not in our 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: latest microtrend, airwon smoothie or infrared device, but what if 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 3: it lies in the ancient wisdom of Ayrveda, a holistic 25 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: approach to health and wellness that began in India more 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 3: than three thousand years ago. It's based on the idea 27 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: that each person has certain life forces or doshas, and 28 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 3: that everything, every element in the universe is connected. So 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 3: that means an imbalance in one area can affect another, 30 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 3: and when the imbalance goes unchecked, disease and illness can arise. 31 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: Exactly. 32 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: It's basic practices are designed to promote harmony within nature 33 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: and prevent illness in our bodies. So in twenty twenty four, 34 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: what does that mean? Ayrveda taps into seasonal foods and recipes. 35 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: It speaks to the importance of eating and the time 36 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: of day and the healing power of the spices that 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: we add to our foods. 38 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 3: Well, let's get spicy with Roddy dev Lukia. Welcome to 39 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 3: the bright side. 40 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 4: Thank you so much. I'm so happy to be on. 41 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 4: Thank you for having me. 42 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: Well, we're really excited to dive into our Euvedic nutrition 43 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: and the benefits of an r Euvedic lifestyle. So to 44 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: kick things off, if nobody's ever heard of that term, 45 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: can you define our euveda? 46 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, of course, So ira means life or longevity and 47 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 4: veda means knowledge and so essentially it's the essence and 48 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 4: all the knowledge that you need to just live a vibrant, abundant, 49 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 4: beautiful life. It originates in India, but it's something that 50 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 4: is all the principles are just relevant to every single human, 51 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 4: like it's not specific to culture or type of person, 52 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 4: and it's just a universal health language that is really magical. 53 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: What do you think are the guiding principles of our Juveder? 54 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 4: The one thing I absolutely fell in love with when 55 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 4: I first started studying Iveda was that every single person 56 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 4: is unique. And I think that is one of the 57 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 4: key principles. That it's not one size fits all. What 58 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 4: you will eat will be different to what I eat, 59 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 4: What will nourish you will be different to what nourishes me. 60 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 4: And in Western culture that's not true. Whereas the advice 61 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 4: that's given in I reda. Not only is it specific 62 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 4: to the person, it's actually helping you to understand your 63 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: body better. And so I say, the second principle that 64 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 4: I love about Irada is that you have to know 65 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 4: your body like it's not you go to somebody and 66 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 4: they will tell you how to fix yourself. Irata teaches 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 4: you how to look at the science the symptoms of 68 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 4: your own body and help you understand every part of you, 69 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 4: from your hair, your skin, to your digestion to your mood. 70 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: And I say, the third one at the top of 71 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 4: my head is it's not just about what you're eating 72 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: or what you're thinking, it's every single thing. Irather incorporates 73 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 4: every single part of life, every single thing that comes 74 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: into your sens is like what you're hearing, what you're seeing, 75 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 4: what you're touching, who you're around, the energy that you feel. 76 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 4: It's not just one thing that will fix everything. It's like, 77 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 4: how can I change my internal and external environment to 78 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 4: really create optimal health. 79 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 3: When did you first start studying and living in aervedic lifestyle. 80 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 4: So, I actually grew up in an Indian house, and 81 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 4: so you know, I was born into a vegetarian family. 82 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 4: I don't even know my grandma, my great grandma, her grandma. 83 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: Everyone's been vegetarian as far as I know. There was 84 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 4: also about an energetic composition of what we're eating and 85 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 4: how it affects our body. Or if I was unwell 86 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 4: or if I got cut on my leg, my mom 87 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 4: would like make up a teamwic paste and like stick 88 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 4: it on my leg instead of putting on a plaster. 89 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 4: And so, you know, I didn't realize it was iraveda 90 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 4: at the time. It wasn't a you know, a term 91 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 4: that I grew up hearing about. When I was in 92 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 4: New York, so I would have been five, six, seven 93 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 4: years ago. I just was feeling quite lost about what 94 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 4: I wanted to do in my life. I studied nutrition 95 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 4: to be a dietitian in the UK, but when I 96 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 4: got to New York, I actual couldn't use any of 97 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 4: that because I was on a spouse visa and so 98 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 4: I was like, what can I do? And so there 99 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: was a yoga teacher training, so I did that, and 100 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 4: then I met this iravadic teacher called Divia. She has 101 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 4: a restaurant in New York called Divia's Kit. It's a 102 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 4: full irratic restaurant. It's amazing, and she was teaching irateic 103 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 4: principles irdy cooking, and I was like, I have nothing 104 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 4: to do with my life. Can I just follow you 105 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 4: around and just learn whatever and be your sidekick? So 106 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 4: I actually am such a biginners still an iveda like 107 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 4: I did my irabated Health Council degree with California College 108 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 4: of Aravada, But I would say I learned the basics 109 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 4: that you could possibly learn about Aravada, and I feel 110 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: like I've just skimmed the surface. 111 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: I mean, it's ancient, so the philosophy goes just so deep. 112 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 2: What do you think are the wellness benefits that we 113 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 2: can gain from following in our euveadic lifestyle. 114 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 4: I think there's a lot more presence in your life. 115 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: Like for me, when I started learning about how I 116 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 4: can tune back into my body, you become more present 117 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 4: in every moment, and so it really teaches you not 118 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 4: just presence with other people, but presence with your own body, 119 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 4: whether it is through your mindfulness practices in the morning, 120 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 4: whether it's through eating something and noticing the different feelings 121 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 4: that you should have. Is just making my body feel heated? 122 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 4: Is it feeling cooling? Is it feeling heavy, is it 123 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 4: feeling light? Like really tuning into what am I doing 124 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 4: and how is it affecting my body, even if you're 125 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 4: doing it for nothing else except for being present in 126 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 4: your body and tuning back into it. I think that's 127 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: an incredible health benefit because I know so many people 128 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 4: and me included, I was I could go through life 129 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 4: where I wasn't noticing aches and pains, I wasn't noticing 130 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 4: why I was getting skinishues, I wasn't noticing why my 131 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 4: hair was falling out, and I was just like, Oh, 132 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 4: it's just vitamin Let me just add more vitamins into 133 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 4: my life, let me add this. And obviously sometimes it 134 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 4: is that, but there's also so many other elements. So 135 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 4: definitely presence in your body and then being able to 136 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 4: curate your entire environment around you. So, for example, me 137 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 4: and my husband have completely different body types. And that's 138 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 4: really how Aravada distinguishes between people. It's a unique composition 139 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 4: of elements in your body. So the elements earth, water, fire, air, 140 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 4: and ether, and so it says in Aravader that we 141 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 4: are all a composition. We have all of them in us, 142 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 4: but all in different quantities. Not one person has the 143 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 4: same makeup as another. So now I know, when I'm 144 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 4: cooking for myself, I can cook the same meal, but 145 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 4: I have to use different spices for both of us. 146 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 4: I have to use a different amount of truly for 147 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 4: both of us depending on the weather. I need to 148 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 4: include the different types of oils or spices depending on 149 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 4: when I'm cooking, whether it's winter, summer. Awesome, and so 150 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 4: it allows you to be more specific to the smaller 151 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 4: changes in your body. 152 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: We've got to take a quick break, but we'll be 153 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 3: right back with Roddy dev Lukia and we're back to 154 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: Wellness Wednesday with Roddy dev Lukia. I'd love to get 155 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 3: more specific with you about food and how broader aervevic 156 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: principles show up in the ways that we eat, because 157 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: you're also a clinical dietician and nutritionists. 158 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 4: As you mentioned, I studied that when I was at 159 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 4: university and it was amazing because I got to learn 160 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 4: the body from a Western perspective, and that was really useful. 161 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 4: You know, I worked in a hospital for a couple 162 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 4: of years when I was using the things that I've 163 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 4: learned there, but I always felt like something was like 164 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 4: somewhat missing because I wasn't the biggest fan of how 165 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: there was just a framework that you have to follow 166 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,559 Speaker 4: for every single person, even if it didn't make sense 167 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 4: to each individual. But in terms of food, we go 168 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 4: just live in nature. We are part of it, and 169 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 4: I think that's something that we often forget, where when 170 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 4: the seasons are changing outside of us, we also need 171 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 4: to change what we're putting inside our body. And so 172 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 4: one simple thing is eating seasonally. That is an irate 173 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 4: principle too, to make sure that we're eating food that 174 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 4: has grown in the soil that we are living on. 175 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 4: And so farmers markets like going and getting the fresh 176 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 4: bodies from the places that you are living in rather 177 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 4: than a lot of the times now in stores you 178 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 4: can get anything and everything from all around the world, 179 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 4: which is great, but it really does kind of disrupt 180 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 4: our own internal environment by doing that. So definitely eating 181 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 4: seasonally and then spices are a huge part of irata. 182 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 4: There's one blend which is like the Queen of blends 183 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 4: and iradors called CCF coriander, humen and funnel seeds, and 184 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 4: you can grind them up, use them in your curries 185 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 4: and lentils and whatever you're making. Each spice has different properties, 186 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 4: but overall they help to stimulate your digestion. But also 187 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 4: they do so many things energy focus and it's definitely 188 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 4: my first line whenever I'm feeling under the weather. 189 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: So one thing that jumps out to me immediately is 190 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: that you say that different foods have different flow states 191 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 2: and energies. I've actually never heard of that in terms 192 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: of food. What is a flow state? In regards to food, every. 193 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: Single thing has a specific energy state. There's three different kinds. 194 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 4: We call them the modes of nature. And so there 195 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 4: is satvik which is mode of goodness, rightstick which is 196 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 4: a mode of passion, and thumbsick, which is mode of ignorance. 197 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 4: And so these three modes, everything can fit into that, 198 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 4: whether it's music you're listening to, the foods that you're 199 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 4: eat saying, they all create a specific energy inside of us. 200 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 4: Even if you think about if you're listening to aggressive music, 201 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 4: that would be considered mode of ignorance, and how do 202 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 4: you feel. You feel angry, you feel agitated, And in 203 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 4: the same way, if you're listening to to their meditative music, 204 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 4: it's in the mode of goodness. It makes you feel 205 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 4: elevated and uplifted. So let's apply that to then food 206 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 4: mode of goodness. Foods are the foods with the most 207 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 4: amount of prana. Parana means vitality, what brings the most 208 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 4: amount of vitality nutrients into your body. Imagine the freshest 209 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 4: fruit that's picked from a trade, that has the most 210 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 4: amount of vitality from it. It's in its most purest form. 211 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 4: That's everything from fresh fruits, virtuals. Everything that you know 212 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: is good for you essentially is in the mode of 213 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 4: goodness mode of ignorance. Foods, those would be the foods 214 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 4: that essentially make you feel heavy energetically in your mind 215 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 4: and your body. So that would be things like anything 216 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: that doesn't have life left in it. They make you 217 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 4: feel heavy, lithagic, They make you feel foggy, and your 218 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 4: digestion feels unstable when you eat them, whether it's process 219 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 4: things that have stayed in the can for too long, 220 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 4: deep fried foods where all the nutrients have been taken 221 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 4: out of it, something that's stale, leftovers in your fridge 222 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 4: for too long. And then in iromid, it also considers 223 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 4: most meat or anything that is animal derived in that 224 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 4: way in the mode of ignorance, purely because there is 225 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 4: no life left in that and the mode of passion 226 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 4: foods are the ones that are in the middle that 227 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 4: don't necessarily harm you, but they do stimulate you and 228 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 4: maybe make you a bit too like on edge. So 229 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 4: that's things like caffeine. If you eat a lot of 230 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 4: spicy foods, and by spice, I mean like chili spice, 231 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 4: then having too much spice can cause inflammation in the body. 232 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 4: And so funnily enough, onion and garlic, which are obviously 233 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 4: very commonly used, they sit in the mode of passion 234 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 4: category because they actually cause a lot of blood flow 235 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 4: in the body. They also stimulate, can cause inflammation when 236 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 4: eaten in excess, and they recommend that when you're practicing meditation, 237 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 4: it's recommended not to have a diet with onion and 238 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 4: garlic in it because it also agucates the mind. When 239 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 4: I learn this, like ten years ago, I stopped cooking 240 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 4: with onion garlic. Searchingly, my cookbook actually has no onion 241 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 4: garlic in it. People don't really know that, but all 242 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 4: the recipes are onion garlic free. If you think about 243 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 4: anything in life, like garlic and onion have incredible medicinal properties. 244 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 4: Back in the day, they were used as medicine. They 245 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: have so much potency. The problem is, just like with 246 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 4: night shades, like with tomatoes and pepper, you end up 247 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 4: making it the base of everything, and then instead of 248 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 4: having the positive effect, it end up having a negative effect. 249 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 4: So tomatoes are actually fine in small quantities, but now 250 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 4: it's the base of everything that's what's causing most people's 251 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 4: acid reflux inflammation in the body. Whenever anybody has any 252 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 4: kind of IBS symptoms. Even as a dietician, one of 253 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 4: the first line things was take out anything which is 254 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 4: in the food maps, which is onion, garlic, tomatoes, and 255 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 4: so there's so many things that actually are wonderful and 256 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 4: smaller quantities, but we just end up having excess of 257 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 4: them and then they cause irritation to the girl. 258 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 3: This reminds me of a book I was gifted after 259 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 3: I gave birth called The First Forty Days. It's a 260 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: postpartum recipe book and guide for new moms based on 261 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: the teachings of Chinese medicine, and it suggests that warm 262 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 3: foods are really what the womb needs in order to heal. 263 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 3: What do iervedic principles say about digestion healing and the 264 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 3: temperature of our foods. 265 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 4: When you're eating the warmed foods versus raw foods. If 266 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 4: you think about it, it's more that raw foods if 267 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 4: your digestion is already weak, which, by the way, when 268 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 4: you've given birth, usually your body's gone into almost like 269 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 4: a shock mode. Everything is a little bit weaker. Your 270 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 4: body's focusing on healing. Your gut is already trying to 271 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 4: heal itself, and so raw foods actually are much more 272 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 4: difficult to digest for your gut than cooked foods. It's 273 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 4: essentially thinking you've done a bit of the digestion outside 274 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 4: of your body, and you're bringing foods and your body 275 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 4: has to do way less work. And so one of 276 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 4: the things I Rada recommends if you do find that 277 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 4: you're getting ill a lot or you've got gut issues, 278 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 4: is do a cleans of kitchery. Kitcheny is like rice, lentils, veggies, 279 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 4: all cooked down really well with spices, and essentially says 280 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 4: when you have a mono dyet where you're just eating 281 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 4: the same thing for three days in a row, it's 282 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 4: actually almost sometimes better than a fasting diet because you're 283 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 4: giving your gut the ability to exercise and to be 284 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 4: able to use the muscles, but at the same time, 285 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 4: you're allowing your gut to rest because it's not time 286 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 4: to do as much work because everything is already cooked down. 287 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 4: And then the spices are enhancing the digestion. 288 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: Right now, are you? 289 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: Veda teachers that when we eat is just as important 290 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: as what we eat. So in the practice, the day 291 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: is broken down into four hour periods. I'd love to 292 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: go through those togethers starting in the morning. 293 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 4: It's three phases really, but they duplicate around the clock. 294 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 4: So viveta is two am to six am. Idia. You're 295 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 4: not eating during that period. It's governed by air and ether. 296 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 4: That's the creative zone, so that's when you're getting the 297 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 4: most amount of dreams. It's also the time that they 298 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 4: say you feel the most connects to God, and so 299 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 4: what they recommend is waking up in this time period 300 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 4: is when your sleeper is usually at its lightest and 301 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 4: having your meditation start from like five am. Like I 302 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 4: normally wait cup around five five thirty, and my meditation 303 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 4: practice is so different during that time than it is 304 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 4: if I did it at nine ten am or during 305 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 4: the day. 306 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, the distractions just increase, I think as the day goes. 307 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 4: On exactly six to ten in the morning, it's tougher, 308 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 4: which is why they say that you should try and 309 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 4: wake up before the sun rises, because as soon as 310 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 4: the sun rises, which is the six am to ten am, 311 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 4: your mind starts to become active. And so really using 312 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: that period to do your energetic work, which is getting 313 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 4: your workout and going for a walk. Your body's already 314 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 4: stimulated because as soon as the sun comes out, you 315 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 4: still the sun's energy is go, go, go. And then 316 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 4: the pita time, so pitter is ten am to two pm. 317 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 4: Pitter is governed by fire. Now, fire, if you think 318 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 4: about it, is when you have the most amount of energy. 319 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 4: So when the sun is at its highest, it's when 320 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 4: your digestion is its strongest. So I radly recommends having 321 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 4: your largest meal, heaviest carbohydrate load like all of that 322 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 4: in the afternoon, and then at night you have a 323 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 4: light and meal before you sleep. I mean, I'm sure 324 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 4: you've seen so many studies about eating three hours before 325 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 4: you sleep, making sure that your gut is able to 326 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 4: rest when you're sleeping, Otherwise you're not really sleeping, like 327 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 4: you're not really resting if your guts still working. So 328 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 4: the six pm to ten pm zone. Six pm to 329 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 4: ten pm is essentially kafer is governed by earth and water. 330 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 4: It's heavy stagnant energy. That is when your body actually 331 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 4: wants to sleep. That's essentially the cycle, and then it 332 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 4: repeats through the day again where those energies keep continue 333 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 4: going around. The next window, which is the ten to 334 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 4: two am, which is the pit of time, which is energetic. 335 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 4: That's really the time period that our body needs to 336 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 4: do all the processing at night. It also is the 337 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 4: time that we process our thoughts, our feelings, our memories. 338 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 4: And I think there's been so many studies to show 339 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 4: it makes such a difference not just how long you sleep, 340 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 4: it's what time you're sleeping, and so does essentially the cycle, 341 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 4: and then it repeats through the day again where those 342 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 4: energies keep continue going around. 343 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 2: We have to take a short break, but we'll be 344 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 2: right back to wellness Wednesday with Rady Devlukia. 345 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: And we're back with Rady dev Lukia. 346 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 3: What's the perfect Irvevik snack? And maybe there's one based 347 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,719 Speaker 3: off of a favorite recipe of yours from the book. 348 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 4: So Irate is not really a snacking lifestyle. It's recommended 349 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 4: you should have at least three hours between your meals. 350 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 4: It says that allowing your body to fully digest one 351 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 4: meal before you add something else on. And it refers 352 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,959 Speaker 4: to as almost like a pressure cooker or a rice cooker. 353 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 4: So imagine rice cooker where you're cooking rice and it's 354 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 4: been cooking for fifteen minutes and then you add in 355 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 4: some raw rice just as that's finishing, and then you 356 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 4: have to keep it in for list for longer. But 357 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 4: it says if you are going to have it, then 358 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 4: try something like food or something a bit like to 359 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 4: or in between. So one of my favorite ones, stewed apples, 360 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,239 Speaker 4: is meant to be one of the best things that 361 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 4: you can have, especially in the morning to stoke your digestion, 362 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 4: but I love having it throughout the day as well. 363 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 4: You stew the apples, you literally put some water in, 364 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 4: adding some spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, and you boil 365 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 4: down these apples in the water and it just becomes 366 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 4: this delicious like it's one is so yummy, and two 367 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 4: it helps with your digestion. The spice is also ignite 368 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 4: your digestion in that way. That's definitely a go to. 369 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 4: I normally adding like a bit of nut butter on 370 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: top and either like that. It's so good, especially when 371 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 4: we're getting into autumn and winter. It's a great one. 372 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: Sounds so yummy. 373 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 4: Oh, it's so good. 374 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: You're making me hungry, rady, it's so good. 375 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 4: It's so good. 376 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: As we're coming in to fall. 377 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: What vegetables should we be looking out for to be 378 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,719 Speaker 2: cooking with and eating? 379 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 4: All the orange bed just the pumpkin, the squashes, alsos 380 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 4: zuchinias in season. Everything that you see at your farmer's 381 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 4: market is basically, oh, the leafy greens, kale, spinach, charred, 382 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 4: a lot of root vegetables. They're all in season at 383 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 4: the moment. Pomegranate is in season during this autumn as well. 384 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 4: All the foods that you know you want to, like, 385 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 4: have a stew with a curry, you want to bake 386 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 4: in the oven. I personally think it's the food that 387 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 4: you end up going towards during the season. Anyway, I'd 388 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 4: say it's the season that's the most the easiest to 389 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 4: you want that comfort. 390 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 3: I'm so embarrassed to admit, Roddy that I just a 391 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 3: few years ago discovered that spices expire. I thought they 392 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 3: lasted like decades. 393 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, here's the tip. The best thing is to 394 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 4: buy spices whole. So what happens with spices are that 395 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 4: as soon as they are ground from their whole form, 396 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 4: they start to lose nutritional value, they start to lose 397 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 4: their smell, the potency of their flavor, and so ideally 398 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 4: buying spices whole as much as possible and then grinding 399 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 4: them fred There is such a difference between like, if 400 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 4: you get cardamom pods and you grind them up, can 401 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 4: you smell that versus cardonom that's been ground already. H 402 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 4: It's just a completely different experience, and so in the 403 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 4: same way, even you may smell it, but it's also 404 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 4: the nutritional value of it and the strength of the 405 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 4: flavor of it completely changes. So I think they really expire, 406 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 4: but they just become gross all for a while. 407 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: Rady. 408 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 2: One of my favorite things about your cookbook is that 409 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: you say you're supposed to eat dessert first. 410 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 4: I know, I love that one too. I might have 411 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 4: just written that for myself, but so it was a 412 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 4: funny one that I ed didn't because I loved when 413 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 4: I learned about that, and I made it. The actual 414 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 4: science behind it is just that when you end up 415 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 4: eating sugar, your body prioritizes digesting sugar before anything else. 416 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 4: And so it says, if you end up eating your 417 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 4: meal and then you end up eating sugar, it will 418 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 4: basically avoid digesting the main food that you've eaten with 419 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 4: the nutrients, and it will start to digest the sugar first. 420 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 4: And so it's saying, okay, instead of doing that, have 421 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 4: your sweet thing fast so it's digested and done. 422 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: I love this rule. 423 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 3: I feel so seen because when I sit down at 424 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 3: a restaurant, I asked to see the dessert menu first. 425 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 3: That way I can start planning for the meal after, for. 426 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 4: The dessert after, so now I can just order it first. 427 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 3: Exactly. Radie, I feel like you talked about this little bit, 428 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 3: but I'm so curious. How do you think all of 429 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 3: these learnings have changed your life? 430 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I'm like, every single way, I don't, 431 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 4: I honestly always say this. I'm like, I wonder who 432 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 4: I would have been if I didn't learn about Iraader. 433 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 4: And what I've learned is discipline and control are not restricting. 434 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 4: And I think that's what Irader has taught me the most. 435 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 4: That when I have discipline, and I have control in 436 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 4: my everyday lifestyle, whether it is what I'm doing from 437 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 4: morning to evening, whether whether it's the food that I'm eating. 438 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 4: It's taught me how to be more in control of 439 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 4: my senses, and that for me has been the biggest 440 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 4: game changer, whether it is in my senses of like 441 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 4: being a bit too feisty and saying things that I 442 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 4: don't mean, whether it is eating things just out of 443 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 4: the worst thing is when you feel like something else 444 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 4: controls you, and I think, whether that's food, whether that 445 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 4: is your mindset, whether that is the worlds that are 446 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 4: coming out of your mouth. It's really taught me how 447 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 4: to have sensory control. And I think when I started 448 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 4: transitioning into this and be like, oh, why do you like, 449 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 4: don't you want to stay out later? And don't you 450 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 4: want to eat this and eat this and do this? 451 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 4: And I'm like, I honestly don't because I know how 452 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 4: it's going to make me feel. And so tuning back 453 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 4: into my body has allowed me to feel freedom through discipline, 454 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 4: and that's something that I would never want to give 455 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 4: up because I remember a life where I wasn't like that, 456 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: and it was just like everything would pull me from 457 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 4: one side to another. There was no regulation, there was 458 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 4: no ability to stay in control. I've been in better 459 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 4: health year after year, and that's only testament to all 460 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 4: the information that I've been absorbing through our vada. 461 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 3: I think what you're getting at is the concept of 462 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 3: delayed gratification too, which is a really underrated principle in 463 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 3: our society. 464 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 4: Yes, exactly. Not everything has to be right here, right now, 465 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 4: and just because it's in front of you doesn't mean 466 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 4: you have to have it. 467 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 2: Roddy, thank you for joining us today and helping us learn. 468 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you so much.
