Bloating, Protein, Fatty Liver & Fibromyalgia | Ayurveda Listener Q&A

**Show Notes:** Can bloating really go away? Is protein powder healthy? What causes fatty liver from an Ayurvedic perspective? And how does Ayurveda approach chronic conditions like fibromyalgia? In this listener Q&A episode of *Ayurveda Digested*, Nicholas and Bridge tackle some of the most common health questions they receive and break them down through the lens of Ayurveda. The conversation explores digestion, nervous system regulation, doshas, protein myths, kidney stones, fatty liver support, chronic pain, and the Ayurvedic understanding of how disease develops over time. Along the way, they discuss why symptoms are messages rather than enemies, how lifestyle habits shape long-term health, and why healing begins with understanding the qualities present in the body rather than chasing symptoms. **In This Episode:** • Why bloating is often easier to resolve than people think • The connection between digestion and the nervous system • ADHD, stress, and vata imbalance • The Six Stages of Disease in Ayurveda • Prakriti vs. Vikriti and how imbalances develop over time • Why your body is not something to conquer • Ayurvedic perspectives on protein intake • Smoothies, yogurt, overnight oats, and food combining • Fatty liver from both physical and emotional perspectives • Cooling foods, herbs, and practices for excess pitta • Kidney stones, oxalates, and dietary considerations • Fibromyalgia through the lens of doshas and chronic imbalance • Abhyanga (self-oil massage) and nervous system support • Why consistency often matters more than intensity One of the most powerful reminders from this conversation is that Ayurveda is not focused on suppressing symptoms. Instead, it seeks to understand the conditions that created them and restore harmony from the ground up. **Quote from the Episode:** *“We don’t get rid of symptoms. We balance the body. We create a body that doesn’t have symptoms.”* **RESOURCES:** Bridge courses + freebies: https://stan.store/bridgeayurveda?utm\_source=ig&utm\_medium=social&utm\_content=link\_in\_bio Bridge free consult / triage call: https://calendly.com/bridgeayurveda/free-triage-call Nicholas W.
