handwritten notes from A podcast of Dimple Jangda
Ayurveda & Bio-Hacking
Speaker: Dimple Jangda | Notes by: Top Student
1. Know Your Body (Prakriti)
We are 5 elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space) mixing to form 3 Body Types:
VATA 💨
- Body: Thin, dry skin, cold.
- Issues: Bloating, Anxiety, Constipation, Joint pain (clicking), Osteoporosis.
- Mind: Creative, overthinking.
- Fix: Warm, cooked, oily foods (Ghee!).
PITTA 🔥
- Body: Medium, sensitive skin, red eyes.
- Issues: Greying hair, Balding, Acidity, Anger, Eczema.
- Personality: Leaders, sharp, ambitious.
- Warning: They are addicted to Spicy/Sour foods (like alcoholics!).
- Fix: Cooling foods (Sabja, Cucumber, Coconut water). NO Chilli/Sour.
KAPHA 💧
- Body: Sturdy, thick bones, oily skin.
- Issues: Weight gain, Diabetes, PCOS, Lethargy, Tumors/Cysts.
- Mind: Calm, loving, stubborn.
- Fix: Spicy, light, dry foods.
2. Digestion Rules (The Campfire)
Imagine your stomach is a Campfire.
- 🌅 Morning: Fire is low. Eat light & warm.
- ☀️ Noon (12-2 PM): Sun is at peak = Agni is highest! Eat your HEAVIEST meal now (Grains, Roti, Veg).
- 🌇 Evening: Fire is dying. Eat soup/khichdi.
🚨 The Smoothie Mistake:
Drinking a cold smoothie at lunch is like pouring ICE WATER on a campfire. Digestion stops -> Toxin build-up!
Cooking = External Digestion. It saves energy for the Brain.
3. Emotions = Biology (Storage)
"You don't just feel emotions; you STORE them in organs."
| Organ | Emotion Stored |
|---|---|
| 😠 Liver | Anger, Frustration, Resentment. |
| 😢 Lungs | Sadness, Depression, Grief. |
| 💔 Heart | Heartbreak, Grief, Betrayal. |
| 😨 Kidneys | Fear, Insecurity. |
| 😖 Pancreas | Guilt, Shame ("I'm not good enough"). |
| 💩 Colon | Holding on (Control Freak) -> Constipation. |
4. Diagnosis Hacks (Face Map)
Where is your Acne?
- 📍 Temples: Liver Stress (Alcohol/Anger).
- 📍 Nose Tip: Heart (BP issues).
- 📍 Cheeks: Lungs (Smokers) or Stomach.
- 📍 Under Eyes: Kidneys (Puffy/Dark).
- 📍 Chin/Jaw: Hormones (PCOS/Uterus).
👅 Tongue Secrets
The Tip = The Heart.
Red spots on tip? Heart stress!
Gut-Brain Axis:
70-80% of Serotonin (Happy Chemical) is made in the GUT, not the brain. Fix gut = Fix mood.
5. Dangerous Food Combos ☠️
NEVER Mix Milk With:
- Sour Fruits (Berries, Citrus): Causes curdling in stomach -> Skin diseases (Leucoderma, Eczema). (Bye bye Strawberry Shake!)
- Salt: No tea with samosa/salty biscuits. Causes water retention.
- Fish/Meat: Major toxin buildup.
✅ SAFE Milk Combos:
Sweet Mango, Avocado, Dates, Saffron, Turmeric.
💩 Constipation Cure
1 Glass Hot Milk + 1 spoon Ghee at night.
"Lubricates the system."
🧪 Heavy Metal Detox
Coriander (Cilantro) or Parsley Juice.
"Binds to Mercury/Lead & removes it."
🥬 Spinach Warning
NEVER eat raw Spinach/Kale. Contains Oxalates -> Kidney Stones.
Always blanch/cook!
6. Mental Protocols
Your brain is like a Computer RAM. If full -> Anxiety.
Write thoughts down to "save to external hard drive" and clear your mind.
You have a fixed number of breaths in life.
Dog: Breathes fast -> Short life (15 yrs).
Tortoise: Breathes slow -> Long life (200 yrs).
Practice Pranayama (Slow Breathing).
Food absorbs ENERGY. Mom cooks with love & attention (checks every bean). Commercial chefs cook with stress/speed. That energy transfers to you.
