Sustainable Tea with Shreya

• This Gut-First Approach Melts Fat Naturally Without Compromising On Food

  If your gut’s not okay, nothing else is.Gut health has become the wellness buzzword of our times. We see it everywhere: probiotic labels, kombucha bottles, and grocery shelves. But when you move beyond the trends and start listening to your body, you realise gut health is about unlearning the noise and returning to what’s always worked: rhythm, rest, real food, and conscious breath.In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, India’s biggest Sustainability Podcast, Shreya Ghodawat and Dimple Jangda have the kind of gut conversation we avoid. They talk about the everyday things that slowly disconnect us from our bodies, batch-cooked meals that sit too long in the fridge, quick-fix antibiotics that wipe out more than just the bad bacteria, and habits like popping painkillers without pausing to ask why the pain is there in the first place.From Ayurveda to acid reflux, time-restricted eating to plant-based alternatives, this conversation is layered but practical. They touch on everything from IBS and leaky gut to the silent stress caused by processed food, dairy, and microplastics.Not from a place of fear, but from a place of awareness. Because sometimes, healing starts by paying attention to the most overlooked part of your body, your gut.If you’ve been feeling off, bloated, low on energy, stuck in cycles of quick fixes and vague symptoms, this episode might be your starting point. A gentle nudge to come back to your body, listen before you add another product to your shelf.Shreya's Outfit CreditsDress - https://www.instagram.com/bodicebodice?igsh=MXRmN3FvZTViNTlqZQ==Jewellery - https://www.instagram.com/studiometallurgy?igsh=MTQwcmpuanB6ZmI2dw== , https://www.instagram.com/araa.jewels?igsh=MWNvdjRmMmZ1aWJleA== , https://www.instagram.com/octonov.studio?igsh=MWt4OGx5aHViZHVtaw==Heels - https://www.instagram.com/eridani.in?igsh=MWZvZDd2d3dhemd4Zw== In this Episode:00:00 Trailer01:41 Introduction to Gut Health & Wellness02:45 What is Good Gut Health and Common Misconceptions05:55 Why Painkillers Are Not A Good Idea11:27 Why Controlling your Breathing is Important13:37 How to reverse PCOS 23:50 Why You Should Detox Your Body28:12 Effective Colon Cleanse Alternatives 28:43 What Affects Your Gut & Leads to IBS38:20 Why Our Generation Faces Gut Issues45:45 Plantbased Protein vs. Whey Protein for Gut Health48:20 Probiotics, Kombucha & Other Gut Health Remedies52:45 Changes When Switching to a Gut-Friendly Diet53:35 Rapid Fire with Dimple Jangda1:00:02 What Does Sustainability Mean and Closing Thoughts#DimpleJangda #guthealth #healthygut #ayurveda #digestion #digestivehealth #healthylifestyle #babaramdev #gutdetox #plantbaseddiet #vegan #wholefoods #superfoods #detox #breathwork #meditation #pranayama #cleaneating #naturalhealing #health #wellness #yoga #sustainableliving #selfcare #mentalhealth #ibs #pcos #pcod #antibiotics #foodismedicine #antiinflammatorydiet #painkillers #healthyhabits #balanceddiet #fermentedfoods #processedfoods #intermittentfasting

• Daily Habits That Shield You From Toxic Air Pollution & Boost Lung Health Naturally

  Remember when  @BryanJohnson  had to walk out of a podcast in India because of the toxic air? He wasn’t overreacting. This is the reality we live in, and in this episode, we dive deep into exactly why we should care about the air we breathe.In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, @shreyaghodawat sits down with air quality experts Bhavreen Kandhari, Prof. Sagnik Dey, Jai Dhar Gupta, and Abhiir Bhalla to explore air pollution, why it’s not just a Delhi problem, and why it’s a pan-India crisis that stretches to neighbouring countries too. With 900 million people living in the Indo-Gangetic plain, we’re all affected by the invisible toxins in our air, especially fine particulate matter like PM2.5. These pollutants infiltrate our lungs, bloodstream, and organs, causing everything from respiratory issues to heart disease, diabetes, and infertility.The conversation gets real about the Air Quality Index (AQI) and why it’s not enough to show the true dangers. We also look at indoor air pollution, which is as harmful as the outdoor stuff. From burning incense to poorly ventilated kitchens, the air in our homes is far from safe. We talk solutions too, how we can tackle these issues at home and as a society, from cleaner cooking alternatives to demanding better air quality enforcement.If we don’t act now, the health consequences are inevitable. This episode is a roadmap to cleaner air for all of us, and not a wake-up call!In this Episode00:00 – Trailer01:47 - Introduction of our guests07:18 – Is air pollution only a Delhi problem?18:17 – What is indoor air pollution?28:57 – How to improve indoor air quality?53:07 – Is air pollution political?01:14:47 – Why should people care about polluted air?01:50:47 – Myths around air pollution people should know02:10:47 – How to make a difference?Shreya's Outfit CreditsOutfit - https://www.instagram.com/houseoffett?igsh=cmgzOW41bWhsdWZl #airpollution #pollution #AQI #cleanair #airquality #environment #climatechange #bryanjohnson #climateaction #nature #earth #delhipollution #climatecrisis #health #publichealth #healthcrisis #carbonfootprint #urbanpollution #pollutedcities #lunghealth #indiapollution #smog #citysmog #globalissues #fightpollution #toxicair #plants #smoke #smoking #who #stws #sustainability #podcast

• Understanding The Forgotten Wisdom of Local, Seasonal Food with Krishna Mckenzie ​

  What does it mean to live with the land, not just on it?In this episode of @SustainableTeaWithShreya Shreya Ghodawat sits down with Krishna McKenzie, natural farmer, artist, and longtime Aurovilian whose life is rooted in a simple, yet radical idea: nature knows best.From his early days in the UK to building a life around soil and soul in Tamil Nadu, Krishna’s story weaves together spirituality, natural farming, cultural food wisdom, and a deep connection to place.We talk about:1) Leaving behind the noise of modern life to reconnect with food and land2) How eating local is not a trend, but a return to something sacred3) The influence of J. Krishnamurti and Masanobu Fukuoka on his life and work4) Why is natural farming more than a method? it’s a mindset5) The quiet power of indigenous ingredients and food as memory6) How restoring our food systems could be the most powerful climate solution we already haveFrom edible weeds to corporate farms, school lunches to balcony gardens, this episode is an invitation to rethink the way we eat, grow, and live. Whether you’re in a city apartment or surrounded by fields, this one will make you pause, reflect, and maybe plant something.If this conversation moves you, share it, start a dialogue, or simply ask your grandparents what they used to eat. That one question could be your first step back to the soil.Shreya's Outfit Credits:Dress - https://www.instagram.com/notebook.official?igsh=MWVnZHI5NzlqYmpiMw==Belt - https://www.instagram.com/foret.store?igsh=MXdkbjRnenpldjhmcQ==Jewellery - https://www.instagram.com/blingthingstore?igsh=MTY5dDN6MzVrZnUzbQ== , https://www.instagram.com/sorbetandco?igsh=b2hkdm5tMWcxdWh3Flats - https://www.instagram.com/thecaistore?igsh=MWJtdjUwYmRwaW9nMQ== In This Episode00:00 Trailer01:03 Introduction01:44 The Journey from UK to Tamil Nadu05:46 Coming to Auroville and Masanobu Fukuoka12:19 The Philosophy of Food16:45 Unknown Wonders of Nature20:57 Why is there a disconnect between Humans and our Land22:20 Why Is It Important to Eat Local Food?28:30 The Trend of Organic and Regenerative Farming32:05 How Can we explain Sustainability to Everyone34:32 Biggest Life Lessons Learned38:11 How Can People in the City Start to Eat Better43:13 The Mid-Day Meal Scheme Done Better46:52 Consequences of the Industrialisation of Farming50:28 The Celebration of Food52:26 How Can We Make the Food System More Resilient?1:01:08 - Closing Thoughts#sustainability #farming #nature #food #localfood #climatechange #environment #planet #organicfood #regenerative #ecofriendly #agriculture #gardening #biodiversity #indigenous #nutrition #farm #farmtotable #tradition #plantbased #ecosystem #forest #minimalism #organicfarming #health #simplicity #culture #sustainableliving #nourishing #foodchoices #healthyliving #conservation #eatlocal #climateaction #foodsecurity #permaculture #sustainableagriculture #plantbasedlifestyle #zerowaste #soilregeneration #urbanfarming #minimalistliving #greenrevolution #traditionalfarming #circulareconomy #greenenergy #foodismedicine #auroville
