About This Episode In this grounded and insightful episode of the Thrive with Cate Stillman Podcast, Cate Stillman is joined by Sujatha Reddy, Ayurvedic practitioner, educator, and wellness guide, for a deep conversation on what it truly means to build health and a life from alignment rather than pressure. Sujatha shares her lived experience of Ayurveda not as a rigid system, but as a practical, compassionate framework for restoring balance in modern bodies navigating stress, inflammation, hormonal disruption, and chronic depletion. Together, Cate and Sujatha explore how subtle daily habits - sleep rhythms, digestion, nervous-system regulation, and self-trust—shape long-term vitality far more than extreme protocols or willpower-driven discipline. This episode weaves ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern lived reality, offering listeners a refreshingly humane approach to healing that honors both physiology and intuition. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with my body?" Sujatha invites a different inquiry: "What is my body asking for right now?" Key Themes from the Conversation Ayurveda as a Living Practice Sujatha reframes Ayurveda as an adaptable, responsive system, one that meets people where they are instead of forcing them into idealized routines. |
