Nidhi Pandya: Rewriting Your Relationship With Food, Presence, and the Wisdom of the Body

Nidhi Pandya returns to the podcast for a transformative conversation on how to rewire your relationship with food—not through willpower or mindset—but through the body.

One of the world’s leading voices on intuitive Ayurveda, Nidhi breaks down why digestion begins with safety, how trauma shapes our habits, and why every cell already knows how to heal.

We explore the hidden wisdom stored in the body, how to unwind shame through somatic rituals, and what it means to truly come home to yourself.

Expect to learn:

• Why somatic practices—not mindset—are the key to transforming food shame and overeating

• The six tastes of Ayurveda and how to use them at any meal (yes, even tacos)

• How placing your hands in your lap while eating can shift your entire digestion

• What it means to “undo” your conditioning and heal intergenerational trauma

• The difference between rituals and routines—and why one heals and the other can burn you out

• How presence, gratitude, and sensory joy can rewire neuroplasticity faster than effort

• What to do in your darkest moments, and how to build a monastery within yourself

• Why healing is a return, not a fix—and how to start even if it is your last breath
