Winter Wellness - An Ayurvedic Perspective with Dr. Sujatha Kekada - 428
Episode 428
Wednesday, 21 January, 2026
Winter is often misunderstood in modern wellness culture as a season to simply endure, yet Ayurveda recognizes it as a powerful time for nourishment, restoration, and deep tissue building. In this episode, Colette is joined by experienced Ayurvedic physician Dr. Sujatha Kekada for a classical and clinical exploration of winter wellness. Together, they move beyond surface-level seasonal advice to examine how winter influences the doshas, dhatus (tissues), srotas (channels), and ojas. Dr. Sujatha explains why aligning diet, routine, and mindset with this season is essential for long-term health and resilience. In this episode, you'll learn about: Why winter is considered a prime season for tissue nourishment and rebuilding in Ayurveda Which doshas and dhatus become most vulnerable when winter diet and routines are misaligned How winter impacts srotas (channel) integrity, with a focus on rasavaha srotas (plasma and lymph channels) and medovaha srotas (fat channel) The connection between winter emotions, mental heaviness, and manovaha srotas (mind channel) Influence of winter on ojas, our prime energy reserve, vitality and immunity Balancing nourishment and heaviness with the risk of stagnation in modern lifestyles Practical Ayurvedic food guidelines to support digestion, tissues, and vitality during winter Join the Group Digestive Reset Cleanse – Starting January 23rd, 2026 Ayurvedic cleansing is not about restriction, fasting or punishment it's about restoring balance and flow.
