Alive and Kicking with Clare McKenna · Alive and Kicking Full Episode 21/06/26 · 21 Jun 2026 podcast

Ayurveda comes from the word Ayus meaning life or change and Veda meaning knowledge of.

So it's the knowledge of life or change.

And as you know, everything is changing.

Life is changing.

So you get your bearings then.

It's primarily based on body types.

So you have a fiery type.

You have an airy type, a fiery type and a water and airty type.

They're called Vata, Pitta and Kappa.

So that's the fundamental issue.

So in other words, if you're helping a person to rejuvenate themselves, you deal with the particular body type.

So if you're a fiery type, we try to cool the fire.

If you're an airy type, we try to ground you.

And if you're a watery and

earth type where you might need a kick in the ass to get uh moving uh but it's it's a great body type but they tend to be very lethargic so that's about the there's the cause of it

what's what's yours are you willing to share yours and what you learned on the journey yeah i'm fine yeah i'm pitta pitta kappa which is fire and earth the fire and earthy and water type which is 50 50 about right so we can all be a mix of of both and they can be out of balance locally anyone it's in us all in fact i have a little bit of vata seemingly my lips are vata

You know, if you're, if you're, for instance, if you're the Kappa type, which is the water on the earth.
