Summary
Nature never stays the same. The sun shifts. The weather changes. The trees adapt. The question is: are you adapting with it? ⸻ Quote from the Episode: “At the demarcation of the season, you are taking the time to push out all the excess dosha that’s not supposed to be there, so you have a fresh constitution to operate within the world.” ⸻ DESCRIPTION: As the energy of summer arrives, so does an opportunity to reset.

Nicholas shares personal reflections on how seasonal changes affect his own constitution and why understanding your unique Ayurvedic makeup can transform the way you approach health.
