Welcome to the feel good podcast with Kimberly Snyder. My goal is to help you develop a holistic lifestyle based on our four cornerstone philosophy, food, body, emotional well-being, and spiritual growth.

This holistic approach will help you feel good, which I define as being connected to your

most authentic highest self, and this is the place from which your energy, confidence,

creativity, true power and true beauty will start to explode. Every week we

provide you with interviews from top experts in their field or a solo cast from yours truly to support you in living your most beautiful, healthy and joyful life.

I'm your host, Kimberly Snyder, founder Saluna, New York Times best-selling author and holistic wellness, nutrition and meditation teacher.

Namaste day loves and welcome back to our Thursday Q&A show.

So we're all complex beings. We all are a mix of different energies, we're all unique.

So most of us are a mix of even the dominant dosas.

and grounded in a little bit more, you know, thicker bones and has, you know, the tendency to perhaps gain

If you tend to be quite thin and tend towards cold extremities, myself you may be more of a Vata constitution.

So we'll get into the show today how understanding these differences can allow you to more intelligently modify your diet, your self-care practices.

And this has tremendous benefits because as we know it's not a one size fits all for everyone.

So even within the beauty detox diet, even within these larger categories we say, like being plant-based or being keto or, you know, whatever it is,

there are individual modifications that we can make which can benefit your energy
