Sauna and cold plunging aren’t just trends — they’re powerful physiological tools.

But like any tool, the dose matters.

Too much heat can strain your cardiovascular system.
Too much cold can dysregulate your nervous system.
And most people are guessing.

At Thermal Intelligence at Banya Social Wellness Club, we’ll teach you:
✔️ The science behind heat and cold
✔️ How long to stay in (and when to get out)
✔️ Who benefits most
✔️ How to personalize it for longevity, recovery, and resilience

Whether you’re brand new or already plunging weekly — you’ll leave knowing how to use these therapies intelligently.

If you care about aging well, preventing disease, or optimizing your health before symptoms start… this event is for you.

Did you know most tea bags only contain about 1 tablespoon of herbs?

When herbs are used medicinally, we often double that.
If you’ve ever thought,
“Herbal tea doesn’t really do anything…”
this might be why.

Join us for a FREE Herbs for Stress Management class where you’ll learn how to blend tea intentionally — and create a custom formula based on your stress pattern.
Because stress doesn’t look the same for everyone.

You don’t need to think your way out of stress.
You need to let your body finish the stress response.

Shaking + forceful exhale helps release stored sympathetic energy and signal safety back to the nervous system. This is regulation, not willpower.

Try this for 30 seconds.
No equipment. No perfection.
Just physiology doing what it was designed to do.

Save this for later — your nervous system will thank you.

Winter colds happen—even when you’re a doctor.
When they do, I focus on the basics that actually move the needle: rest, fluids, sleep, and gentle immune support.

This is exactly what I’m doing right now to support my body through a cold—nothing fancy, just consistent, evidence-based care 🤍

✨ Reminder: slowing down is productive healing.

(Always individualize supplements—this is not medical advice.)

If you sit for work, this is one of the simplest ways to support your blood sugar, metabolism, and long-term health. 🩸✨

Studies show that breaking up sitting every 30–60 minutes with brief movement—like 10 squats—can improve glucose control, insulin sensitivity, and overall metabolic health, even if you already exercise regularly.

No gym. No equipment. Just a timer and a little consistency.
Your body was never designed to sit all day—and thankfully, it doesn’t take much to counteract it.

Save this. Set a timer. Your future self will thank you. 💛

So grateful for spaces that believe in community, connection, and shared learning. 💛

A heartfelt thank you to and for welcoming us into your spaces and trusting us to share conversations around gut health, food, and the very real human side of wellness. And a special thank you to .brew for supporting the experience by bringing tastings to our talk—it added such a fun, nourishing layer to the evening. Being able to laugh, taste, learn, and connect with your communities is truly a dream come true for us at Aya. Community health is at the heart of what we do—and this is exactly how it comes to life.

Cooking doesn’t have to feel like another task to survive.
Tonight I dimmed the lights, unplugged from my phone, and let dinner be a moment instead of a stressor.

Printing my recipes for the week means fewer notifications, fewer decisions, and more presence in the kitchen.
Lower lighting helps my nervous system stay regulated.
Chopping, stirring, and tasting becomes grounding instead of overstimulating.

This is what “mindful eating” actually starts with—mindful cooking.
Not perfection. Not aesthetics. Just creating an environment your body feels safe in.

If cooking feels exhausting or overwhelming, it’s not a personal failing.
It’s often just too much input at once.
You’re allowed to change the conditions.

Sometimes food as medicine looks like a perfectly planned meal…
And sometimes it looks like Dr. Jeffrey chopping a big bowl of parsley to brighten up a winter dish she wasn’t that excited about.

At Aya, we love the idea of food as healing — but not in the rigid, “get it perfect” kind of way.
It’s not about purity, restriction, or earning your health through flawless eating.

It’s about small acts of care.
Adding something fresh and vibrant to an ordinary meal.
Noticing how food makes you feel — physically and emotionally.
Letting nourishment be simple, flexible, and joyful.

Food can support health, absolutely. But it can also be connection, comfort, and creativity… even when the meal isn’t perfect.

Here’s to making the most of what we have, one handful of parsley at a time. 🌿

Bloating. Low energy. Food reactions.
If gut health feels confusing or overwhelming, you’re not alone.

Most people are told to cut more foods or add more supplements — but real gut health starts with understanding how digestion actually works.

This January, we’re hosting two interactive gut health events where you’ll taste, learn, and walk away with clear, realistic strategies you can use right away. No extremes. No lectures. Just science-backed tools that fit real life.

Join us on
Jan 22 at Seacoast Athletics in Hampton (6:30–8:00 PM)
or
Jan 28 at Throwback Brewery, Jericho’s Landing (6:00–7:30 PM)

Whether you’re dealing with digestive symptoms or just want to feel better in your body, this is for you.

What if food prep wasn’t just something to check off your list—but a ritual that helped settle your nervous system?

In this reel, Dr. Silva’s brother—Arequipa-based psychologist and founder of the beloved sourdough bakery .aqp—shares how baking bread became a grounding, mindful practice in his daily life. It’s a reminder that food as medicine doesn’t always come in the form of restriction or rules. Sometimes, it’s the way you move your hands through dough. The scent of something rising in the oven. The simple, daily act of care that nourishes you long before you take a bite.

Whether you’re making soup, prepping your kids’ lunch, or stirring a pot of rice—what shifts when you bring your full attention to the moment?
