Vata Kapha Dosha | Managing Combination Ayurvedic Doshas with Dr. Marc Halpern

[@arshdeepsingh9361]

Not to be disrespectful but I have been through many Indian doctors because I am Indian myself. The last thing I wouldve expected is a foreigner to know more about vata kapha than an Indian doctor that studied through real lineage of ayurveda with saints and old vaidyas. This is crazy. This guy is absolutely genius in terms of ayurvedic knowledge. Much respect to this guy. Absolute gem of a video.

[@arianahunt1073]

I have recently been through a very stressful period in my life, and gained a lot of weight trying to figure out if I’m a true Vata-Kapha. This seems to make a lot of sense to me. My mind is truly Vata. I think I’m mostly having a Vata imbalance. This info is so crucial.

[@pavanbr8060]

this was the best information i've got about vata-kapha dosha.. thank you so much for putting out this video sir.. god bless you

[@brandywestnedge63]

Thank you thank you thank you. I could cry with gratitude from this teaching. I have been trying to find these answers for years, studying books, religions, going to counseling for anxiety, depression, and binge eating... and here is the answer. Thank you!

[@brandywestnedge63]

@@AyurvedaCollege Great idea! I will do that. I am also reading Dr. Halpern's book.🙏

[@wernergarcia6820]

I’ve been going through the same issues for 4 years now , spent all my resources visiting conventional doctors , specialist, fisical therapist but nothing helped me , I’m now at point that almost any food even healthy foods would throw me out and dying of pain, but this video has opened my eyes and I’ll continue searching

[@petraleskovargrum5655]

Same here! ❤❤❤

[@BelieverReceiver]

This is the best explanation of the Vata Kapha Dosha. I have read several books on the matter and still have not been able to understand it properly until I heard your video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 🙏🏼

[@haelo1942]

Thank you. This makes so much sense to me... your description of Vata Kapha is me to a tee. Let the balancing begin ❤🙏

[@wikineable]

Thank you for the precision of this explanation. I would love to hear you speaking about the unique gifts of the Vata-Kapha type. Maybe another short video? Would be great..

[@brandic89]

I read that they're creative and dynamic but steady and reliable.

[@abdulrazaqrahmat777]

Thank you so much for your explanation, I have been growing front and back for the explanation I just realized I'm a Vata Kapha, but I get imbalanced very often especially struggling with taking actions, fast in the mind and heaviness in body is really what I struggle with the most.

[@eden5166]

I’m grateful for the way you have explained this and will be watching more of your videos. I love the description that when disturbed, Vata can also push Kapha out of balance... very complex but beautiful once I understand it. when I get emotional and anxious, I stress eat and become lethargic. I always thought I was a Vata because I was a skinny and quick person my whole life (until university these past couple years) but I got more of that soft weight on my face and belly and I feel physically slowed down and relaxed, and have always had good long sleeps, yet my mind is very busy and often anxious.

[@abdulrazaqrahmat777]

I can relate to this also, I struggle with taking actions the most.

[@munirazaman1289]

This has opened my eyes, so true to my nature at every level and such useful practical guidance. I have ordered your book straight away. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the information! As a part time musician, who has a day job as an architect, I am having a hard time to follow the suggestion that vata people live regularly and wake up early. Can a regularity of daily life for half of the week early and half of the week between 10am and 2am also be a choice for a vata/kapha musician like me? Thanks so much in advance and have a great day!:)

[@GracefulCoaching]

Dr Marc, I ❤️this. I am Vata with Kapha imbalance. Gaining weight/water . Do I follow Vata dosha diet anyway but smaller portions? Not a kapha balancing diet? Main goal to increase digestion, energy , reduce water

Hi , thanks a lot for this informative video, if you don't mind can you please elaborate a bit more on the food that we can eat for Vata- kapha dosha on daily basis with more examples, like which fruits, grains,meat, pulses and vegetables are best suited. Thanks again.🙏

[@mrsmcisaac]

Extremely helpful and enlightening, thank you. I was really quite confused and this explained me to a T.

[@annayudin290]

So would soups made with bone broth, with some veggies and a bit of meat be good for someone with a VK dosha? It seems like this is what's implied.. soups are very light but when you add the earth aspect (bone broth and veggies) you get the requirements. Collagen is good for us in general but does nurture the brain and the immune system. Soup would also provide the needed warmth, correct?

[@sarah0]

That was so helpful thank you.

Exactly, for so long I was put into pita category. I found that my Vedic chart helped me a lot. Disagree in principle with a vegetarian diet. It was created to keep people in their own cast following their "Dharma -duty"

[@SirenoftheVoid]

Thank you Mark,i just so happen to experience anxiety and heaviness as well. I wondered if the heaviness is what causes my mind to appear slow and dull,and if it leads to more subconscious thinking taking place with Kapha heaviness. Last test i took got me Vata Pitta predominance,i was born in summer times during a Vata time of day as well. But feel Kapha might be a strong part of my Prakriti,which i still feel uncertain about as my memory about my childhood is foggy.

Hello Dr. Halpern i recently discovered I have a vatta kapha dosha and while I have struggled with it because it is a bit more difficult to manage than the other dosha types IMO, i have learned to love the positive sides of my mind and body.

[@abdulrazaqrahmat777]

Kapha pitta maybe? Since heat is very strong but maybe your vata is imbalance

[@julettasmolietta1174]

Thank you, would like to know about what kind of food good for Vata-kapha dosha people, you said cooked and spicy, but what kind of breakfast looks like or lunch or dinner, I am vegetarian. Does raw food agrivate, salads, vegies or better cooked?

[@kayelliott1563]

You mentioned warming colors in this talk to help balance a Vata-Kapha. I was wondering if you could expound on that more. Do I need to wear more "Autumn colors" or more "Spring" colors in the color analysis system?

[@ChristineNavarroTV]

I would think vibrant, spicy colors of the sun, of warmth, like spices he’s suggesting in eating with foods. Focus on red-orange-yellow spectrum, more Summer than Fall or even Spring...but Spring is close in vibrancy. I’m Vata-Kapha, and personally have always gravitated toward the full rainbow, also enjoying black, white, gray, and tan...all the colors, as long as they’re fully saturated, and not pastel, bland, muted, or neon. Think of the sun fully ripening anything in sight, until the saturation point to its full color potential. Full saturation, intensity, and vibrancy make me feel alive.

[@CathyScholl]

Do you treat a Vata Kapha nature the same way you would treat an individual with Vata dosha and a Kapha imbalance? Is it the same thing? Thank you.

[@ChristineNavarroTV]

I don’t see it at all as being a superficial approach. He’s talking about how to take a proactive approach to balancing these somehow/ somewhat antagonizing energies, not only through diet and exercise, which is the basis of energy and for living for everyone, but on the necessity for structure and routines. These are a few basic guidelines on instructions for the self...to better understand how your body, as well as how your mind functions, which unfortunately isn’t offered in our Westernized culture. I very much appreciated his approach. Very educational.
