Fuel Your Fire: Why Healthy Fats Are Non-Negotiable This Fall

Been feeling dry, stiff, or low on energy as the season shifts? No, you’re not imagining it. Autumn’s vata qualities (dry, light, and cool) can leave your body and nervous system depleted, scattered, and just a little moody.

Here’s a quick fix that actually works: eat healthy fats.

Also known as essential fatty acids (EFAs), these fats are your body’s internal lubrication. They keep your tissues supple, your skin glowing, and your energy flowing freely. They’re called essential because your body can’t make them on its own; you have to eat them. And yes, this is non-negotiable if you want to feel good, look good, and perform at your best.

My top picks:

• Seeds: chia, hemp, sunflower, pumpkin, flax

• Nuts: walnuts, almonds, cashews, pecans

• Oils: sesame, avocado, olive, sunflower, hemp seed, and of course, ghee

Other reasons to bother:

• Balance hormones: regulate cycles, support fertility, ease perimenopause or menopause transitions

• Boost focus & mood: fuel your brain, stabilize emotions, and help you perform under pressure

• Nourish beauty from within: glowing, dewy skin, strong hair and nails

• Soothe inflammation: support joints, comfort muscles, and reduce chronic tension

• Protect your heart: improve circulation, support cholesterol balance, and reduce vascular inflammation

Your Ritual: This week, add more EFAs into your soups, stews, roasted veggies, or morning oats. Even one small addition (a spoon of ghee, a sprinkle of seeds, a handful of nuts) can make a measurable difference in how grounded, energized, and resilient you feel.

Your body is the engine that runs your life, treat her like she matters.

With warmth & wellness,
