Quote from Episode:
"Whatever you fill yourself with is what’s going to come out when you’re under stress.”
Description:
Nicholas Wade Kimps unpacks how frustration, unprocessed emotions, and hidden patterns impact wellness. Through Ayurveda and yoga philosophy, this episode explores doshas, digestion, and why movement and mindful living help transform what we carry into medicine.
Some days feel heavy, cranky, and rife with agitation—and Nicholas Wade Kimps doesn’t shy away from naming that truth. In this DIVOted Talks episode, he shares how frustration and unprocessed emotions build up in our bodies like undigested food, eventually spilling over into stress, illness, or conflict. Ayurveda calls this ama—residue that, when left unresolved, becomes fertile ground for imbalance.
Show Notes:
Nicholas explores how kavaguṇyas (defective spaces) can hold onto this residue, why removing excess dosha is essential, and how practices like dinacharya (daily rhythm) and pañcakarma (Ayurvedic cleansing) restore harmony. Through storytelling and yoga philosophy, he connects the dots between what we consume—whether food, thoughts, or emotions—and how it expresses when we’re under pressure.
This episode is both practical and philosophical: a reminder that movement is medicine, digestion is multidimensional, and that true wellness means noticing what we’ve packed into our inner boxes and choosing what to finally set down.
