The Pitta Body
Hello, firecracker.
Are you an athletic achiever, who runs hot and gets hangry if your meal or snack isn't right on time?
Do you get intense PMS symptoms like severe cramps, heavy bleeding, or "crazy" mood and hormone fluctuations?
Do you have a tendency towards heartburn... but still love and crave spicy food?
If so, you might have a Pitta body.
Pitta embodies elements of fire and water. This manifests in hot, fiery, and sharp qualities that create positive traits when Pitta is in balance and unwanted symptoms when out of balance.
in balance pitta is:
Strong and athletic
Symmetrical and attractive
Have good circulation
Strong and hearty digestion
Healthy appetite
Driven and energetic
Out of balance, pitta may experience:
Hormonal issues
Inflammation, redness and rashes on skin or redness of eyes
Canker sores
Early greying or balding of hair
Irritation and inflammation in digestive tract, acid reflux, ulcers, and/or loose stools
Cravings for sugary or spicy foods
life events and behaviors that can throw pitta out of balance include:
STRESS: Over-work, over-exertion, or “burning your candle at both ends”
Constantly critiquing or comparing oneself to others
Times of high-demand or extra stress at work
Competitive sports
Hot weather, excess direct sunlight
Excess caffeine or alcohol
natural strategies to restore balance for pitta include:
Grounding, nourishing, and cooling the body with soothing drinks like coconut water and aloe vera juice
Reducing inflammation in the tissues, organs, and digestive tract with plenty of cooling plant foods
Creating ease, flow, and contentment by practicing mindfulness, self-compassion - and just giving yourself and others a break.
I’m Sarah Teeple, Women’s Integrative Health Practitioner.
Helping women reclaim their best lives by creating vibrant health and happiness is my passion.
After facing my own health crisis—including debilitating anxiety, chronic bloating, constipation, food sensitivities, and fertility struggles—I discovered a way to heal that combines ancient wisdom with modern science.
So, for the past decade I have blended Ayurvedic Medicine(an ancient system of healing) with Functional Medicine(cutting edge science that treats the root causes of health issues, not just the symptoms).
Understanding my unique body type (Ayurvedic Dosha) and getting conclusive scientific data 📊 by taking a comprehensive hormone panel (the DUTCH test) were THE crucial steps to my inner and outer transformation. Now, at 46 years-old, I feel better than ever before - and you can too.
As one of my clients, I will walk you down this holistic path. I'll coach you through my simple but transformational process, step-by-step, for your success.
I've helped hundreds of women with hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, anxiety, and more, so they can live to the fullest! Are you next?
Living in alignment with your dosha is like unlocking your unique health code.
You can feel amazing - without resorting to pills, self-deprivation or endless doctor visits. My Beautifully Balanced program combines Functional Medicine with Ayurveda to help women transform their health and lives naturally - in just 3 months. I’d love to support you too.
