  1. "Am I Doing It Wrong?" — Mood Series Q&A on Anxiety, Answered.

    MAR 8

    "Am I Doing It Wrong?" — Mood Series Q&A on Anxiety, Answered.

    "It works in the moment but twenty minutes later the anxiety is right back." "Breathing exercises aren't going to fix what's wrong with the world." "I actually felt something — genuine sadness — and then the heaviness came back." These are the real questions you sent us this month. And they deserve real answers — not generic FAQ responses, but answers from two physicians who understand your constitution, your biology, and what perimenopause is actually doing to your anxiety. This week, Dr. Kumar-Singh and Dr. Sethi answer the three biggest questions from the mood series on anxiety — starting with the dosha who asked each one, then breaking down how the same struggle shows up completely differently across all five constitutions. In this episode: Why "the anxiety comes right back" doesn't mean you're doing it wrong — and the specific change that stretches your window of calm from minutes to hoursThe honest answer to "this feels like a band-aid on a bullet wound" — why the doctors agree that breathing won't fix the world, and what it actually fixes that matters more than you thinkWhat it means when you feel something for the first time in months and then the heaviness returns — and why that moment is actually the most important sign the work is landingWhy every dosha's anxiety hits the same wall for completely different reasons — and what to do about it for YOUR constitutionWhat to keep from this series, what to let go of, and why listening to your episodes again will hit differently the second time Plus two announcements: Live sessions with Dr. Kumar-Singh and Dr. Sethi over the next two weeks — real-time support for your anxiety and nervous system, real-time answers, togetherThe FOCUS series is coming — concentration, memory, cognitive clarity — and why you can't fix attention without first addressing the anxiety underneath it This is the final week of our four-week MOOD series on anxiety. Starting this week, all doshas are in one conversation — same science, same personalized prescriptions, together. Take the free Dosha Data Assessment at myarvasi.com and subscribe at @weeklyhealthrx.

  2. You Know the Scrolling Is Making It Worse. Here's Why You Can't Stop.

    FEB 28

    You Know the Scrolling Is Making It Worse. Here's Why You Can't Stop.

    You open your phone to check one thing. Thirty minutes later, you've read about six different crises, your chest is tight, and you can't remember what you originally opened the phone to do. You're not weak. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it's designed to do—scanning for threats that never stop coming. And in perimenopause, the scrolling isn't soothing your anxiety. It's compounding it. In this week's Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi, Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi reveal why doomscrolling is a nervous system problem, not a willpower problem, and why the symptoms of perimenopause may be amplified by what you're feeding your body through a screen. Listen now to learn: Why every scroll re-triggers your stress cascade before the last one has clearedThe Ayurvedic concept that reframes everything you take in through your senses as "food" and what happens when that food is toxicThe difference between being informed and being consumed and why staying “resourced” with a regulated nervous system is so importantWhy your dosha determines your specific media vulnerability This is Week 3 of our four-week MOOD series. Your dosha-specific episode, with YOUR media prescription and the specific protocol for how your constitution should consume information, is for paid subscribers.

  3. What to Do When Anxiety Has Already Hit

    FEB 23

    What to Do When Anxiety Has Already Hit

    Last week, we explained WHY your mood has shifted—the worn brakes, the sensitive thermostat, the biology no one warned you about. This week, you asked the question we hear most: "Okay, but what do I actually DO when it's happening?" "I know I'm spiraling but I can't stop." "I tell myself to calm down and it makes it worse." "I've tried breathing exercises. I've tried counting to ten. Nothing works." Here's why those don't work: you can't think your way out of a nervous system problem. When anxiety hits, your prefrontal cortex—the thinking, reasoning part of your brain—goes offline. The alarm system takes over. Trying to talk yourself down is like having a rational conversation while a fire alarm is blaring. The alarm has to be addressed first. And in perimenopause, the alarm is louder, the brakes are weaker, and recovery takes longer. That's not a character flaw. That's biology. Today we teach you about pattern interrupts—in-the-moment practices that work with your nervous system instead of against it. Not daily habits. Not "just breathe." Actual tools for the next 60 to 90 seconds when anxiety has already arrived. Listen now to learn: The three-phase stress cascade—and why it keeps re-triggering throughout the dayWhy perimenopause makes the cascade fire faster, brake slower, and layer deeperHow pattern interrupts actually work (hint: they don't clear stress hormones—they do something more important)Why generic stress advice fails—and why the tool has to match your constitution This is Week 2 of our four-week MOOD series. The general episode is free, always. Your dosha-specific episode—with YOUR pattern interrupt protocol, step by step—is for paid subscribers. Don't know your dosha? Take the free Dosha Data Assessment at myarvasi.com to find your type. It takes five minutes. Then subscribe at @weeklyhealthrx for dosha-specific guidance built for your biology.

    It's Not Just the News. It's Not Just Hormones. It's Both. Here's How to Manage Your Anxiety When Everything Feels Like Too Much.

    "I have this low-grade anxiety humming in my chest all day long." "I'm anxious about everything—and nothing—at the same time." "I can't tell if the world is falling apart or I am." Sound familiar? Here's the truth: it's not just the news. And it's not just hormones. It's both—hitting you at the same time, in the hardest month of the year. February is when winter finally catches up with you. Your body has been running on empty for months. And now your nervous system can't calm down the way it used to. Everything registers. Everything hits harder. And you can't bounce back like before. This isn't weakness. This isn't "just stress." Something real has shifted in your biology—and today we explain exactly what. Listen now to learn: Why February feels harder than January—even though the days are getting longerThe two biological systems driving your mood: your brakes (GABA) and your thermostat (HPA axis)—and how perimenopause changes bothWhy the same woman, same life, same stressors now creates a completely different emotional responseThe five different anxiety patterns—and why generic advice fails every single oneHow to find YOUR pattern so you can finally get tools that actually work This is Week 1 of our four-week MOOD series.

    You Had an Energy Problem. We Gave You the Protocol. Here's What Happened to Real Women Who Did It.

    "I used to hit a wall at 2pm—now I have steady energy until dinner." "My family noticed I'm not snapping at everyone by evening anymore." "I actually want to get out of bed now." These aren't hypotheticals. These are real women who stopped guessing and started following the protocol we gave them—built for their body, their constitution, their biology. The difference? They didn't just learn about energy. They got a prescription for THEIR dosha. And they had weekly access to physicians answering their specific questions—plus a community of women doing the same work. That's what's happening right now inside the paid dosha episodes—Q&A, troubleshooting, transformation support, community. This episode gives you a glimpse. Listen now to learn: Transformation stories from women across all five doshas—and the common thread that made the differenceWhat paid subscribers get: weekly Q&A where we answer YOUR specific questions directlySubscriber surprises we don't announce—bonus sessions, expert conversations, early accessWhat's next: MOOD—the irritability, the anxiety, the emotional shifts no one warned you about This is Week 4—the final week of our Energy series.

  6. Everyone's Taking Creatine. Here's What They're Getting Wrong.

    Everyone's Taking Creatine. Here's What They're Getting Wrong.

    Everyone's talking about creatine. Your trainer mentioned it. Your friend swears by it. It's all over social media. But here's what nobody's telling you: almost everything you're hearing was studied in 20-year-old male athletes whose bodies work completely differently than yours. So what does the research actually say for YOU—a woman in hormonal transition? This week, we break down the emerging science on creatine specifically for perimenopausal and menopausal women. The brain fog connection. The mood research. The muscle and bone data. And the one thing that determines whether creatine will help you—or make you feel worse. Listen now to learn: What happens to your body's creatine production when estrogen declines—and why women start with 70-80% lower stores than menHow creatine supports your mitochondria—the "power plants" we discussed in Week 1The cellular hydration truth: why creatine doesn't cause bloating (and what's actually happening in your cells)Why the same creatine dose helps one woman and scatters another—and how your constitution determines your response This is Week 3 of our four-week Energy series. All episodes—including your personalized dosha prescription—are free through February 7th. Starting February 8th, the dosha-specific episodes become part of the paid subscription. Take the free Dosha Data Assessment at myarvasi.com to find your type, then come back for your personalized creatine protocol—whether it belongs in YOUR routine, and exactly how to take it if it does.

  7. Why You're Exhausted by 2pm (And How to Fix It Before Breakfast)

    Why You're Exhausted by 2pm (And How to Fix It Before Breakfast)

    Third cup of coffee and you're still dragging. The crash hits at 2pm like clockwork—or maybe it's 10am, or maybe it's random and you never know when it's coming. You've tried the morning routines. The sunrise alarm. The protein-heavy breakfast everyone recommends. Nothing sticks. Here's what nobody told you: your energy isn't random. It's set—in the first 60 to 90 minutes after you wake up. Get those 90 minutes wrong, and you spend all day chasing energy you already lost. This week, we're introducing the First 90 Protocol—the science of why your morning determines your whole day, and why generic routines keep failing you. Listen now to learn: Why the first 90 minutes of your day set your energy for everything that followsThe cortisol awakening response—your biological "start" signal—and why it's brokenHow morning light resets your master clock (and why indoor light doesn't count)The phone trap: how checking email before breakfast hijacks your entire dayWhy the same morning routine helps one woman and harms another This is Week 2 of our four-week Energy series. All episodes—including your personalized dosha prescription—are free through February 7th. Starting February 8th, the dosha-specific episodes become part of the paid subscription.

    You're So Tired and Nothing Helps. Here's What's Actually Happening.

    Third cup of coffee by 10am and you still can't think straight. You've tried the supplements, the earlier bedtime, the morning routine from that podcast. Nothing works like it used to. And underneath the exhaustion is the question you're afraid to ask out loud: Am I just lazy? You're not. Something real has changed in your biology—and it started before you even noticed symptoms. Your cells are struggling before your labs catch it. Your internal alarm clock is broken in ways that willpower can't fix. And the generic advice everyone's giving you? It was never designed for your body. This is the episode that finally makes it make sense. Listen now to learn: Why your exhaustion isn't laziness, weakness, or "just getting older"The two biological systems that change in perimenopause—and why your labs miss itHow your "broken alarm clock" creates the 3am wake-up and the afternoon crashWhy caffeine is making the pattern worse, not betterWhy generic advice fails—and what actually works This is Week 1 of our four-week Energy series. Everything is free through February 7th—including the personalized dosha-specific episodes.
