Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about the role of Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy, or SOT, in the treatment of Lyme disease and vector-borne infections. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Clayton Bell.  Clayton Bell, MD is a leading integrative and functional medicine physician dedicated to helping patients achieve deep, lasting wellness.  Dr. Bell works with Lyme and vector-borne infections, integrative cancer support, environmental medicine including mold, mycotoxins, heavy metals, and detoxification; hormones, cardiometabolic and GI health, and mind-body balance.  Combining his Western medical training with functional, integrative, environmental, and Ayurvedic approaches, he focuses on uncovering the root causes of health concerns.  Patients benefit from personalized, whole-person treatment plans that empower the body's natural healing ability and support sustainable wellness from the inside out.  Dr. Bell provides online consultations that offer accessible, holistic care tailored to each individual's needs. Key Takeaways: What place does SOT have in the treatment arsenal for chronic Lyme disease? What is AOT or Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy? What testing is acceptable for a practitioner to request an SOT for a patient? What testing is offered by Biocentaur? How does SOT work in the body? How does the practitioner determine which SOT to request when many infections may be positive? What SOTs are available for vector-borne infections and viruses? What are the foundational steps to prepare a patient for an SOT? Do certain therapies need to be stopped before testing and while doing SOT? How important is immune modulation or creating immune tolerance to the microbes? What is the SOT administration process? How are Herxheimer reactions addressed with using SOT? Can the SOT push back one infection and then lead to another becoming the dominant focus of the immune system and symptom presentation? How long should there be between SOTs?  Is there a maximum number of SOTs that can be done? Can SOT reach all potential reservoirs of infection in the body? What role do biofilms play in the context of SOT? Have any specific SOTs been helpful in the contents of EDS, PANS/PANDAS, or Long COVID? What role might SOT play in neurodegenerative conditions? Can SOT resolve autoimmunity, inflammation, or oxidative stress? When SOT does not appear to work, how does the practitioner troubleshoot potential reasons? - What is the cost of SOT?

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes Brett Aldrich, founder of Seed the Spirit, for a deep dive into the 5,000-year-old science of Ayurvedic medicine. As an Ayurvedic healthcare counselor and somatic breathwork teacher, Brett shares how we can move beyond the "corporate model" of contemporary medicine to find a personalized path toward true wellness. The conversation explores how the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—make up our unique constitutions and how "doshas" (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) influence everything from our physical health to our emotional temperament. Brett explains that while the world around us may feel chaotic, Ayurveda provides the tools to remain centered and "whole" within that chaos.

This week I'm joined by Deirdre Flood, Ayurvedic practitioner and founder of www.ojas.ie in County Meath.We talk about:• The science of life (Ayurveda explained simply)• Root cause vs symptom treatment• Modern inflammation & excess heat• Perimenopause & cooling the body naturally• Why sunrise sunlight matters• Hydration the right way (no iced drinks!)• Turmeric, ginger & digestive health• Nervous system regulation• Eating in sync with your cycleThis conversation is practical, grounded and empowering.Because when your body is in balance, it prevents disease.When digestion works, food becomes medicine.When you regulate your nervous system, everything shifts.Follow her on Instagram - @Ojas.naturallyVisit her website - www.ojas.ieColman

In Episode 432, we explored how awareness builds integrity, how listening to the body moment by moment allows coherence to arise naturally.  But what happens when awareness feels muted? What if you can't clearly feel hunger, fatigue, or even your own emotions? What if instead of clarity, there's numbness, confusion, or second-guessing? In this follow-up episode, Colette explores what happens when body signals have been overridden for years and how Ayurveda offers a gentle, practical path to rebuilding trust with your body. Drawing on the Ayurvedic concept of prajnaparadha (loss of awareness), this episode explains how repeated overriding of hunger, fatigue, or emotional signals is not a personal failure, it is physiology. The nervous system adapts to long-term stress by lowering the volume of internal cues, conserving energy for survival. You'll learn how chronic stress can dull interoception (your ability to sense internal states), weaken agni (digestive and perceptual fire), and create disconnection from subtle signals. Most importantly, you'll discover how to gently restore awareness without force. This episode offers compassionate reassurance and practical micro-practices to help you rebuild inner reference points so that health decisions arise from relationship rather than reaction. In this episode, you'll learn: Why awareness can feel muted after years of overriding body signals How chronic stress affects digestion, perception, and nervous system regulation The connection between agni, interoception, and self-trust Why muted awareness is not a personal defect How Ayurveda educates you to participate in your own care Simple daily micro-practices to rebuild body trust Signs that trust and interoception are returning This episode is an invitation to move from self-judgment to self-trust, from forcing clarity to creating safety. Rebuilding trust with the body is not about trying harder to listen. It's about restoring the conditions where awareness feels safe enough to return.

Send a textIf you're in perimenopause while actively parenting young children, this episode is for you. You are straddling two completely different life stages at once — and not enough people are talking about it. In this solo episode, I'm getting personal about my own experience navigating early motherhood and perimenopause simultaneously, why it's so much harder than it looks, and what's actually happening in your body and nervous system that explains all of it. You are not failing. You are not broken. You are in one of the most demanding intersections a woman can find herself in — and there is a way through.In This EpisodeThe cultural invisibility of this experience — why most perimenopause conversations assume your kids are grown, and most parenting conversations assume you have stable hormones, and how that leaves a lot of women feeling alone and ashamed in the gap.What's actually happening hormonally — how declining estrogen affects serotonin, GABA, cortisol regulation, sleep, cognition, pain tolerance, and emotional buffering, and how declining progesterone amplifies anxiety and overwhelm.The pregnenolone prioritization— why chronic stress (including the very real chronic stress of parenting young children) diverts hormonal resources away from sex hormones and toward cortisol, and why this means you're getting hit from both sides.The window of resilience — why it naturally narrows in perimenopause, why parenting young children requires a wide one, and what it looks and feels like when those two realities collide.My own story — getting diagnosed with Hashimoto's when my son was around two, the depression, the rage, the fatigue, and what understanding the nervous system-hormonal connection has meant for how I hold all of it now.The archetypal tension — the Mother archetype (energy flowing outward) meeting the Virgin archetype (energy turning inward) and why this isn't a problem to solve but a paradox to hold.Practical tools for the reality of parenting — micro-practices you can actually do with a child climbing on you, including breathwork, grounding, somatic shaking, completing stress cycles, and Ayurvedic support.Resources MentionedBalance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life by Claudia WelchFree Gentle Ayurvedic Guide to Perimenopause Rhythm & Ritual — 6-week Ayurvedic group program for women in perimenopause, registration opens March 2nd, group starts beginning of April — Mailing list (to be notified when the free Circle community for mothers in perimenopause launches)Resources:Free Masterclass: The Alchemy of the Perimenopause Portal Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Yoga today is widely understood as a physical practice centered around flexibility and postures. However, its original intent goes far beyond the body. In this episode, we discuss how yoga is not an activity performed for an hour a day, but a lifelong process of refining awareness and transforming the way we perceive ourselves and the world. We examine why suffering has traditionally been the starting point for yogic enquiry, how identity and conditioning shape our experience of reality, and why true yoga involves freeing ourselves from deeply rooted mental patterns rather than simply improving physical capability.Episode Highlights: Why yoga was never meant to be limited to physical posturesThe true goal of yoga: moksha and the removal of sufferingWhy suffering and crisis often initiate deeper spiritual enquiryHow identity itself becomes a source of sufferingThe original definition of asana, according to PatanjaliThe importance of relaxing effort and cultivating awarenessHow yoga transforms personality, perception, and life experienceEpisode Timestamps:00:00 – 05:00: Yoga is more than a physical practice05:00 – 10:00: Yoga as a path, not an activity10:00 – 15:00: The deeper goal of yoga: removal of suffering15:00 – 20:00: Why a crisis often becomes the doorway to yoga20:00 – 25:00: How the mind shapes your entire experience of life25:00 – 30:00: Moksha, desire, and freedom from mental bondage30:00 – 35:00: Chitta vritti and breaking free from conditioning35:00 – 40:00: The illusion of identity and the source of psychological suffering40:00 – 45:00: Spiritual identity and the subtle ego trap45:00 – 50:00: The true meaning of asana according to Patanjali50:00 – 55:00: Effortlessness and the transition into deeper states of awareness55:00 – 60:00: Yoga as a complete system for inner transformationAbout Prasad Rangnekar:Prasad Rangnekar is an internationally respected yoga teacher known for his deep study and teaching of traditional yoga philosophy, especially the Patanjali Yoga Sutras. His work focuses on restoring the original intent of yoga as a path of inner transformation rather than merely a physical practice.About Dr Vignesh Devraj Dr Vignesh Devraj is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician and the founder of Sitaram Retreat, Kerala, a space for authentic healing.

When an eclipse happens, something shifts. The light changes. The atmosphere feels different. Traditionally, these moments were never treated as ordinary.In this episode, Dylan is joined by Jyotishi and Ayurvedic practitioner Laura Plumb, Vaidya Dr Krishna Raju, Vaidya and medical astrologer Dr Harsha Raju, and mantra teacher Purnesh. Together they explore eclipses through the lenses of Ayurveda, Jyotish and mantra śāstra.They speak about Rahu and Ketu, the difference between solar and lunar eclipses, why digestion and prāṇa are considered more sensitive during these periods, and why eclipses have long been used as powerful windows for mantra and inner practice. Specific mantras and simple ritual guidelines are shared, along with practical recommendations around food, rest, meditation and how to orient the mind during these heightened times. The conversation moves between astronomy, subtle physiology and lived experience, offering a steady and grounded way to approach eclipse events.Rather than sensationalising eclipses, this episode invites a composed perspective. A reminder that moments of shadow can also be moments of alignment.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych explores what happens inside us when leaders, teachers, or institutions disappoint us. Rather than focusing on scandal or personalities, she examines the nervous system response — the tight chest, the bracing, the fatigue — that arises when authority feels unstable. Using the cultural moment and the paradigm shift illustrated in the 2023 Barbie film as a backdrop, she invites listeners to reclaim internal authority instead of outsourcing certainty to charismatic figures. This episode offers a grounded, embodied framework for discernment, emotional maturity, and self-trust in a time when external structures feel increasingly unreliable.

Send a textWinter is long. And right now, we're in this unique in-between place: the light is slowly returning, but we still have weeks (or months) of cold, heavy weather ahead.If you're feeling the weight of winter, you're not alone. And more importantly, you're not supposed to be producing at summer's pace right now.In this conversation, I sit down with Brett Aldrich—breathwork practitioner, Ayurveda counselor, and founder of Seed the Spirit—to talk about what's actually happening in our bodies during winter, why seasonal affective disorder is real (but also misunderstood), and how to work with the season instead of against it.Brett shares her own journey from social work burnout to discovering Ayurveda on a little note card in a shop—and how that small piece of wisdom changed everything. We explore the rhythm of winter, the pressure to keep producing when nature is asking us to rest, and why breathwork became the "missing puzzle piece" in her healing journey.This episode is for anyone who's struggling right now—whether that's with seasonal depression, exhaustion, or simply the cultural pressure to keep going when your body is asking you to slow down.What You'll Learn in This Episode:What's actually happening in your body during winter from an Ayurvedic perspective (and why it's natural to feel heavier, slower, more inward)Why late February/early March is uniquely challenging—we're moving from Vata (cold, mobile, erratic) into Kapha season (heavy, wet, earthy), and that transition can feel intenseThe truth about seasonal affective disorder—how to discern between the natural slowness winter asks for vs. when you need more supportWhy the pressure to keep producing is working against you—and what would happen if we actually honored our natural rhythmsHow breathwork works as medicine—the difference between controlled yogic breath and cyclical breathwork for releasing what you can't put words toBrett's journey from burnout to Ayurveda—stumbling into a practice that finally made sense, and how small shifts created big changeThe power of going with your natural flow—why honoring your constitution and the seasons is actually rebellious in our cultureSimple, doable practices for winter wellness—no expensive supplements or complicated protocols, just wisdom you can use todayWhen to reach out for professional help—and why there's no shame in thatKey Themes:This episode is about permission—permission to slow down, to honor winter's natural rhythm, to be gentler with yourself. Brett reminds us that we're not machines designed to produce at the same rate year-round. We're humans. We're part of nature. And nature has seasons.Connect with Brett:Website: Seed the Spirit Resources:Free Masterclass: The Alchemy of the Perimenopause Portal Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

In this episode, we dive deep into one of Ayurveda's most fundamental yet misunderstood concepts of Agni. Often translated simply as “digestive fire,” Agni is far more than digestion. It is the body's intelligence to transform food into energy, nutrients into tissues, experiences into learning, and stress into resilience. When this ability weakens, stagnation begins. And stagnation, Ayurveda says, is the starting point of disease.Episode Highlights:Why Agni is considered the essence of lifeHow digestion, immunity, and clarity are all expressions of AgniThe difference between Ama (toxins), Ojas (resilience), and Kapha How does lifestyle shape Agni far more than medicinesWhy are autoimmune diseases not randomSrotas: The intelligent functional pathwaysTimestamps: 00:00 – 05:30: What Truly Governs Health?05:30 – 11:00: What Is Agni Beyond “Digestive Fire”?11:00 – 16:30: Levels of Agni in the Body: From Digestion to Tissue Formation16:30 – 21:30: How to Assess Your Agni?21:30 – 26:30: Agni Beyond the Gut: Mind, Vision, Skin & Metabolism26:30 – 35:30: Strengthening Agni the Right Way35:30 – 41:00: Ancient Bodies in a World of Excess41:00 – 46:30: Mental Stress & Agni Breakdown46:30 – 52:00: Pratyaparadha: When Intellect Turns Against Health52:00 – 57:30: Agni, Ojas & Manas: The Triangle That Runs the Body57:30 – 1:00:00: Autoimmunity Through an Ayurvedic Lens1:00:00 – 1:05:30: Srotas: Rethinking Disease Pathways1:05:30 – 1:11:00: Structural vs Functional Srotas1:11:00 – 1:16:30: How the Body Decides What You Become1:16:30 – 1:21:30: Agni, Dhatu Agni & Why the First Conversion Matters Most1:21:30 – 1:27:00: Can Biomarkers Measure Agni? 1:27:00 – 1:29:30:Treating the Person, Not the ReportAbout Dr Vaidya M PrasadDr. Prasad M, a postgraduate in Ayurveda, has been practicing Ayurveda since 1996.

At six weeks postpartum, many mothers are told they are “cleared.”Cleared to exercise.Cleared to return to work.Cleared to resume life as it was before.But what if postpartum isn't something that ends at six weeks?In this episode, we explore what Western medicine often overlooks — and why the Ayurvedic understanding of the sacred postpartum window offers a deeper, more complete view of healing.Through the lens of Ayurveda and the Universal Mother Principles, I share:Why postpartum is a year of transformation, not a brief recoveryThe meaning of “42 days for 42 years”The difference between pathology-based care and prevention through nourishmentHow depletion in early postpartum can echo for decadesWhy the nervous system, digestion, and emotional integration matter just as much as physical healingThis conversation is not about rejecting modern medicine. It is about restoring reverence to a threshold that shapes a woman's life for years to come.If you are a mother, a birth professional, or a woman quietly feeling called to support families in deeper ways, this episode will speak to that knowing inside you.Postpartum is not simply a medical event.It is a sacred window of becoming.You are not meant to walk through it alone.Are you feeling the call to know more about Conscious Postpartum Care?Reach out! ⁠Schedule a time with Christine⁠ to find out how this work can transform your care business or provide a meaningful career path.Here is the ⁠link⁠ to our free class@‌sacredwindowstudiesJoin our ⁠Facebook Group⁠Podcast Music is Composed by Sara Emmitt, graduate of the Center for Sacred Window Studies.

In this episode, Detective Ev sat down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, a leading voice in holistic health and chronic disease prevention, whose work bridges 5,000 years of Ayurvedic wisdom with modern functional medicine. Dr. Shivani's journey into wellness began with her own battle with chronic illness—an experience that led her to Ayurveda and ultimately transformed her life. Inspired to help others heal, she went on to earn a Master's in Ayurvedic Sciences and a Ph.D. focused on Turmeric, studying under renowned Ayurvedic experts in both India and the United States. At the heart of her work is The Inflammation Solution Program, a practical, integrative approach designed to help people—especially women—address chronic issues such as joint pain, weight gain, autoimmune symptoms, fatigue, and hormone imbalance. By blending traditional Ayurvedic principles with evidence-based functional medicine, Dr. Shivani empowers individuals to understand their bodies and restore balance from the inside out. We also dive into her new Hay House debut book, The Inflammation Code, where she reveals how hidden inflammation drives brain fog, metabolic dysfunction, accelerated aging, and more.     Want to watch this episode on YouTube? Click here. Subscribe if you'd like to catch all new episodes live and participate with our guests directly.   Want to learn more about becoming an FDN? Go to fdntraining.com/resources to get our best free workshops and mini-courses!

How do you cope with grief when life doesn't feel okay?What does Ayurveda say about loss, impermanence, and the pain that leaves holes in our hearts?In this deeply personal episode of Ojas Oasis, we explore how to be okay when you're not okay. Through the lens of Ayurvedic wisdom and spiritual reflection, Sasha holds space for grief, heartbreak, and the disorienting reality of impermanence.When we lose someone, whether through death, separation, or life changing unexpectedly, it can feel physical. Like the ground has disappeared beneath us. Ayurveda teaches that grief impacts the heart, the nervous system, and our sense of safety. Rather than bypassing pain or forcing positivity, this episode invites you to sit with it.Inspired by the spiritual reflections of James van der Beek on life, death, and presence, this conversation explores:How to cope with grief and lossThe Ayurvedic understanding of impermanenceWhy emotional pain can feel physicalHolding compassionate space for yourselfGrief as fragmentation and transformationSpiritual perspectives on death and dyingIf you are navigating loss, heartbreak, or existential sadness, may this episode serve as a compassionate witness. You do not need to make sense of your pain. You do not need to rush your healing. You are allowed to not be okay.Grief can fragment us toward destruction, or toward deeper love and wisdom.This is an invitation to stay soft. To stay human. To stay together.Send a textFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda products, use code OjasOasis at checkoutFor 20% off GarryNSun products, use code OJASOASIS20 at checkoutFor 20% off Ora Cacao products, use OJASOASIS20 at checkout Receive $500 off your Panchakarma retreat at SoHum Healing Resort with code OjasOasisPK2025 Support the showTo learn more about working with us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, love is everywhere, on our screens, in shop windows, and throughout marketing campaigns. Yet for many of us, this time of year can feel complicated, tender, or even disconnecting. In this episode, Colette explores what Ayurveda really teaches about love, not the fleeting or idealized version we're often sold, but the steady, nourishing love that begins within. Drawing on Ayurvedic wisdom, this episode reframes love as a state of balance, regulation, and inner union, rather than something we chase or seek outside ourselves. You'll learn how daily habits, digestion, rhythm, and self-care practices quietly shape our capacity to give and receive love in all areas of life. This episode is an invitation to return to a more grounded, sustainable, and compassionate understanding of love, starting with your relationship with yourself. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Ayurveda views love as a state of balance and nourishment, not a performance or achievement Why true self-love in Ayurveda looks less dramatic and more consistent How rhythm, boundaries, and daily structure create safety and emotional resilience What "inner union" means in Ayurveda and yogic philosophy How imbalance between the Vata subdoshas of prana and apana can show up in relationships and self-care Why grounded energy supports healthier, more spacious relationships How Valentine's Day can become a reminder of inner union rather than external validation Mentioned in this episode: Episode 16 - Ayurvedic Dinacharya or Daily Routines Check out Colette's online services:  Online Consultations https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/consultations At-home Digestive Reset Cleanse https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/digestive-reset-cleanse Online Daily Habits for Holistic Health Program https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/daily-habits Reset-Restore-Renew Program https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/reset-restore-renew Have questions on Colette's online services? Book a FREE 15 min Services Enquiry Call here. https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/consultations Do I have an accumulation of ama/toxins in my body? Take this quiz to find out https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/resources Stay connected on the Elements Instagram https://www.instagram.com/elementsofayurvedapodcast/ and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/elementshealingandwellbeing Thank you for listening!

A board-certified psychiatrist trained at one of the most prestigious psychiatric institutions in the world was fired for refusing to put a young woman on medication after the last prescription nearly killed her. Dr. Aruna Nammi left the system and built something radically different, combining functional medicine with 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic wisdom to reverse conditions psychiatry calls chronic and incurable. We go deep on why depression is a disconnection syndrome, the three root causes of all disease, what ancient traditions understood about psychosis that modern psychiatry ignores, and the shift in consciousness that may be unfolding on this planet right now.Trinergy Health Website Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Although mantra chanting is widely practiced today, its depth, rigor, and transformative potential are rarely understood in their true spirit. Along with Shantala Sriramaiah, we explore the deeper science of Vedic mantra practice. Together, they unpack how mantra creates a transformation within you, how Gayatri cultivates clarity in moments of crisis, and how Mrityunjaya helps us develop a healthy relationship with death, not as escape, but as freedom from fear.Episode Highlights:What is a mantra, really?Why does phonetic precision matter?How is mantra different from kirtan?What is the real purpose of the Gayatri Mantra?Does Mrityunjaya Mantra actually protect from death?Timestamps:00:00 - 06:00: Introduction06:00 - 16:30: What is Mantra Chanting?

Is a "forest fire" of inflammation destroying your health from the inside out? Today on Eyes Wide Open, we sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to decode the "Inflammation Code" and reveal how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom can put out the fire of chronic disease. In this deep dive, we bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science to uncover the "Inflammation Code."  We discuss how childhood experiences shape our health journeys, the physiological impact of being out of sync with nature's clock, and the importance of advocating for root-cause medicine in a world dominated by quick-fix pharmaceuticals.  Dr. Shivani shares practical, daily Ayurvedic rituals, from tongue scraping to seasonal eating, that empower you to take control of your vitality and navigate the complex supplement industry with transparency and confidence. Key Takeaways & Revelations The Circadian Clock: Why aligning your meal timing and sleep rituals with your circadian rhythm is the foundation of metabolic health. Inflammation as a "Forest Fire": How to identify the silent signs of systemic inflammation and use natural anti-inflammatories like turmeric to prevent chronic disease. Patient Advocacy: Why moving away from "pill-based" medicine requires a cultural shift toward preventative lifestyle strategies and personalized care. Supplement Transparency: How to identify medical-grade supplements and avoid the fillers and misinformation common in big-box retail brands. Ayurvedic Rituals: Practical steps for daily detoxification, including the benefits of oil pulling and tongue scraping. Our Mission Eyes Wide Open is a space for honest communication. Our goal is to remove the stigmas around mental health, holistic lifestyles, culture, and free speech so you can show up as your authentic self with your eyes wide open. By having real conversations about difficult truths, we move toward collective healing.   Chapters 00:00 - Introduction to Dr. Shivani Gupta and her holistic health philosophy 03:05 - Childhood stories that inspired a passion for healing 08:49 - The significance of the circadian rhythm in maintaining health 12:41 - Best practices for supporting your circadian clock through diet and routines 18:28 - Balancing the "hustle" with seasonal rhythms and off-seasons 20:22 - Ayurveda's approach to detox: Tongue scraping and oil pulling 24:32 - Researching inflammation and her new book, The Inflammation Code 28:48 - Debunking myths around processed foods and the influence of big corporations 33:53 - Conventional medicine vs. patient advocacy 45:33 - Building trust in the supplement industry with quality controls 50:24 - Personal stories about gluten-free living and body signals 55:12 - The science of turmeric and the launch of Fusionary Formulas 64:36 - From childhood health struggles to holistic advocacy 65:24 - Resources to connect with Dr. Shivani Gupta   Resources & Links Get the Book: The Inflammation Code by Dr. Shivani Gupta Connect with Dr. Shivani Gupta: Instagram: @dr.shivanigupta Fusionary RX: @fusionaryformulasrx YouTube: @dr.shivanigupta Website: shivanigupta.com | fusionaryformulas.com Connect with Nick Thompson: Instagram: @nthompson513 UCAN Foundation: theucanfoundation.org YouTube: @EyesWideOpenContent LinkedIn: Nick Thompson

Dr. Shivani Gupta comes from a family of people with diabetes, generation by generation, where she's seen the after-effects of suffering with chronic metabolic disease.  Her new book, The Inflammation Code (launching, distills 20 years of studying Ayurveda into simple pillars you can apply to prevent the level of inflammation and disease we see today. When people tell her, "I have brain fog, I'm tired, my sleep is off, my digestion's off, I have stubborn weight gain…I guess this is just aging," her reply is, "No, it's not aging, it's inflammaging." We had a really excellent, in-depth conversation that covered a lot of ground, from black pepper and the blood-brain-barrier to our detox experiences in India. I hope you enjoy the podcast! In this podcast, Dr. Gupta and I discuss: Her study of Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system from India that taught us the circadian clock, modern science discovered what Ayurveda taught 5,000 years ago about living in rhythm with nature The three doshas or constitutions of Vata (air/ether), Pitta (fire/water), and Kapha (earth/water)—understanding your constitution helps customize your self-care practices and diet The circadian clock in Ayurveda teaches that 10:00 to 2:00 PM is Pitta (fire) time, when you're most focused and energetic, and meant to eat your biggest meal 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM is the most important time to be asleep, when Pitta fire cleans and clears inflammation, the lymphatic system, and the glymphatic system (lymphatic system of the brain) Vata people are always in motion and prefer jobs where they don't sit still—they're endurance athletes who can run through the day on coffee, green juice, and crackers (but their homework is three square meals) Pitta people are fiery, passionate leaders who tend to crave hot, oily, spicy fried food…but that's the one thing they shouldn't eat because their digestive fire is already like a bonfire! Kapha people are sturdy, strong, and very grounded, but can struggle with sluggish metabolism, low mood or depression, getting stuck, or not wanting to create change Black pepper increases curcumin absorption by 2,000%—scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered this, which is why traditional Indian cooking always uses turmeric with black pepper What it feels like to experience a Panchakarma detox in India: "massage that feels like abuse" with paper thongs—Dr. Gupta says, "I can't believe you're allowed to do this to me and I'm paying for it" (both she and I had this experience!) Mental inflammation is the stress we create when forcing ourselves to be healthy; if you force workouts, force protein, force intermittent fasting, the stress alone causes the inflammation you're trying to prevent

Do you know whether you're Vata, Pitta, or Kapha...and could that explain your stubborn symptoms in midlife? In this episode, I'm joined by my brilliant friend Dr. Shivani Gupta, and we dive into Ayurveda, inflammation, and why your body might be asking for a completely different approach right now. Have you ever wondered why turmeric seems to work like magic for pain, migraines, or inflammation? Or why the same routines that used to work suddenly don't anymore in perimenopause? We unpack how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom meets modern science—and why that combination matters so much for women over 40. We also go beyond supplements and symptoms into the deeper shifts of midlife. Is menopause actually an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and redesign your life? What if your fatigue, brain fog, or weight gain isn't failure, but feedback? This conversation might completely change how you see this season! In this episode, we uncover: How your elemental design influences inflammation, energy, and hormone balance. Why curcumin works so powerfully—and what most supplements get wrong. What Ayurveda says about perimenopause as a physical and spiritual transition. How simple daily rituals can replace willpower and finally stick. Why mental and emotional inflammation matter as much as hormones. If you're ready to rethink menopause and feel more at home in your body, this episode is for you.

Experiencing insomnia, restless nights, or waking up feeling tired even after a long night's sleep?Have you noticed how sleep issues often come and go with stress, overstimulation, or irregular routines?From Ayurveda, we know sleep disturbances aren't random or something to override with quick fixes.Nidra, or rest, is one of the four pillars of health. It's essential for balanced agni (digestion), the development of ojas (immunity or zest for life) and a calm, clear mind. When sleep is disturbed, the doshas become aggravated, especially vata, and true restoration through digestion cannot occur.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why sound, restful sleep is a sign of true health• The most common sleep disturbances and their root causes in Ayurveda• How overstimulation, digestion, and daily routines impact sleep quality• Why sleeping pills and over-the-counter aids don't resolve the root cause• Simple, natural practices to restore deep, nourishing sleep and resilienceReady to dive deeper into the practices of Ayurveda and guide others to do the same to support their well-being and heal from difficult symptoms and diseases? If leading others on this path feels like your dharma, or calling, we invite you to apply now for a free 1:1 clarity call with a member of our team so we can discuss your goals and see if our training feels aligned.Thanks for tuning in to the Everyday Ayurveda and Yoga at Hale Pule podcast.

Ayurveda can feel deeply nourishing and also overwhelming especially when you've been learning for a long time and don't know where to begin, how to stay consistent, or how to soften self-pressure along the way.

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych explores why the question "What is my purpose?" so often feels impossible to answer, and why trying to figure out your life purpose by thinking harder can actually make you feel more stuck, anxious, and disconnected. This episode examines the physical and emotional signs people experience when their life no longer fits, including burnout, fatigue, lack of motivation, and low-grade anxiety. Heather explains how purpose is not a mental decision or career choice, but something that reveals itself when you stop forcing answers and start listening to your body, your energy, and your lived patterns over time. This episode is for anyone feeling lost after a life transition, questioning their work or direction, or searching for meaning beyond productivity and external expectations. This is part 3 of a series on finding your purpose. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Are you optimizing your diet and gym time but still feeling wired and foggy? Could the hidden culprit be mental inflammation shortening your health span without you even knowing it?   I talked with Dr. Shivani Gupta about mental inflammation. This stress keeps the nervous system in fight or flight. It ruins digestion, sleep, and clarity. We discussed her book, The Inflammation Code. She explains how Ayurvedic medicine offers solutions through rituals and breath work. We cover elemental design and the body types: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Dr. Gupta shares why news and social media inflame the mind. She provides tools like tea time and decompression points to build resilience. We explore the power of spices like turmeric for healing. Her approach focuses on physiology to change how the body manages stress and productivity for longevity.   Key Takeaways Mental inflammation is chronic emotional stress that creates low-grade inflammation and depletes your vitality, or OJUS. Self-care rituals like setting daily intentions and practicing breath work create a reservoir of peace. "Tea time is me time" acts as a physical trigger to shift the body into the parasympathetic nervous system for rest and digestion. Aligning with your circadian rhythm is essential; sleeping from 10 PM to 2 AM is the most important window for clearing inflammation. Elemental design identifies your specific body template (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) to inform how you should manage your diet and energy. Consuming news and social media triggers a fear-based fight or flight state, contributing significantly to mental inflammation. For therapeutic benefits, use high volumes of spices (teaspoons, not sprinkles) like turmeric, ginger, and cumin in your cooking. When feeling sick, use the Kitchari protocol—a simple porridge that allows the gut to rest so the body can focus on healing.   Resources Dr. Shivani Gupta's Book: The Inflammation Code https://www.theinflammationcode.com/   Elemental Design Quiz: https://shivanigreenliving.clickfunnels.com/quiz   Dr. Shivani Gupta's Website: https://shivanigupta.com   Fusionary Formulas Website: https://fusionaryformulas.com Use the code GETLEANER for 15% Off   Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients.

What if the real reason your inflammation, stubborn weight gain, burnout, and joint pain are not going away has nothing to do with aging or willpower, but with a biological code your body is trying to communicate? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi welcomes back Dr. Shivani Gupta for a powerful conversation on inflammation, Ayurveda, and why modern life quietly keeps the body stuck in a chronic inflammatory state. Dr. Shivani explains why inflammation is not just a symptom, but a biological alarm that signals misalignment with nature, circadian rhythm, lifestyle, and mental stress. They break down the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, why chronic low-grade inflammation blocks fat loss, disrupts hormones, impairs digestion, and accelerates fatigue, and how ancient Ayurvedic principles offer simple, effective solutions that still apply today. You will learn how daily rhythm, nature exposure, circadian alignment, and anti-inflammatory spices can begin shifting inflammation in as little as 24 hours, without extreme diets, deprivation, or medication. The conversation also dives deep into mental and emotional inflammation, how stress chemistry impacts the body at a cellular level, and why healing requires addressing environment, mindset, and lifestyle together. If you have been doing everything right but still feel inflamed, bloated, or exhausted, this episode offers a clear reframe and practical tools you can start using immediately. Key Topics Covered Why inflammation is a biological code, not just a symptom The difference between acute inflammation and chronic low-grade inflammation How inflammation blocks fat loss, metabolism, hormones, and digestion Environmental toxins, diet, and mental stress as the three major inflammation buckets Why modern life creates constant inflammatory pressure on the body Circadian rhythm, nature exposure, and daily rhythm as healing tools Mental and emotional inflammation and how stress chemistry fuels disease Ayurvedic super spices as a cellular pharmacy Why most turmeric supplements fail and how absorption actually works Curcumin's role in insulin resistance, metabolic health, and longevity Ginger, cardamom, fennel, and other spices for digestion and metabolism Practical morning, daytime, and nighttime routines to reduce inflammation Ayurvedic food combining principles and digestion timing How gratitude, mindset, and nature exposure shift inflammation at a cellular level Coupon and Discount To explore Dr. Shivani Gupta's supplements, visit: Link: https://benazadi.com/fusionary Coupon code: FREEDOMDiscount: 15% off Follow Dr. Shivani Gupta
