Why Smoothies, Intermittent Fasting & Apple Cider Vinegar Might Be Throwing You Off Balance | Nidhi Pandya

What if your “off” days aren’t about hormones, diet, or stress, but something deeper—your inner climate? In this episode, I sit down with Ayurvedic expert Nidhi Pindya to break down why cold smoothies, apple cider vinegar, or even intermittent fasting might be pushing your body further out of balance rather than healing it. We dig into a refreshingly practical way to decode your symptoms and rethink wellness from the inside out, merging ancient wisdom with modern science so it actually fits your busy life.

You’ll discover the real story behind Ayurveda (and what it isn’t), how to actually identify your own “inner climate,” and why your morning routine and meals could be making or breaking your energy, digestion, and moods. Nidhi’s guidance will help you spot which mainstream wellness hacks work for you…and which you 100% should ignore. Plus, you’ll walk away with simple daily rituals designed to bring you back to that sweet spot of warmth, moisture, and flow.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a fresh lens on wellness that’s grounded, doable, and way more connected to your actual needs—not just trending advice. If you’re ready to ditch “one-size-fits-all” health advice and tap into a system that meets you where you are, hit play and let’s dive in.
