Pitta

Feel free to grab a pencil, zoom in, and just run through the points again, giving yourself a checkmark for each statement that feels true for you right now.
You're likely checking off the boxes in multiple columns (we all are), but Ayurveda teaches to heal for what's most out of balance first,
And according to your quiz answers, most of what you're feeling these days falls under the category of Pitta imbalance - what we call the “fire” energy in Ayurveda.
Too much fire leads to you (and those around you) getting burned.
You might find yourself lacking in the patience department when it comes to the efficiency of others, or how quickly you'd like things to be done. It might feel like your spouse's mind isn’t as sharp as yours, which can lead you to be sharp with them.
You can't help but burn the candle at both ends. Always a “doer”, workaholism takes over. You're in control of a lot and it's got you stuck in overdrive ... but overdrive isn't good for you.
pitta imbalance looks like:
irritability or snapping at the smallest things (even when you don’t want to)
pressure to perform, perfect, or “do it right” - and beating yourself up when you don’t
heat in the body: acid reflux, migraines, heartburn, loose stools, inflammation, or skin flare-ups
an inner intensity that doesn’t turn off, even when you’re exhausted. trouble winding down at night because your mind is still “on”
pushing yourself past your limits because “there’s still more to do”
resentment over having to manage everything, yet feeling unable to let go of control
impatience, competitiveness, or self-criticism that’s burning you out
waking up between 2–4 a.m. with a hot, wired mind
This isn’t “just stress.”
When this state sticks around too long, everything starts to burn: your patience gets shorter, your digestion gets hotter, your sleep gets lighter, and your mind stays “on” long past the point of being helpful.
Intensity creates more intensity. The more revved-up you feel, the harder it is to slow down… which leaves you even more depleted underneath.
AYURVEDA TEACHES THAT ILLNESS DOESN’T COME FROM NOWHERE
Left unchecked over years or decades, the subtle markers of pitta imbalance lead to more serious complications.
progressive pitta imbalance in western medicine is observed as:
- Chronic inflammation, acid reflux, ulcers, IBS-D
- Autoimmune flares, inflammatory arthritis, skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, rosacea)
- Hormonal dysregulation, adrenal burnout, thyroid imbalance
- Migraines, rage or irritability cycles, insomnia from an overactive mind
- Hypertension, cardiovascular strain, elevated stroke risk
- Perfectionism-driven burnout, resentment, and emotional exhaustion
What starts as an everyday, nagging discomfort, becomes a diagnose we then have to manage. Ayurvedic medicine shows us the subtle symptoms that appear long before, with simple practices to help us regain + maintain lifelong vitality.
The good news?
Pitta imbalance responds incredibly well to small restorative practices in the pockets of an otherwise chaotic day.
When Pitta gets what it needs, the fire becomes productive again - steady, clear, and powerful without burning you out.

Your ayurveda health counselor
Meet Carly Banks
I didn’t find Ayurveda during a peaceful season. I found it when I was burnt out, irritable, overwhelmed, and pushing myself harder than my body could handle, and I kept trying to “power through” - which only made everything worse.
I was burned out and exhausted, and taking it out on my family and coworkers.
Ayurveda helped me cool down, reset, and use my fire without burning out.
And that’s why I teach it, because I’ve lived this kind of imbalance too.
Let’s get you back to feeling clear, steady, and in control again.
