Chronic hives that come and go without warning are exhausting physically and emotionally. But here is something many patients don't realize: feeling "okay" is not the same as being well controlled. Kortney and Dr. Gupta are joined by Dr. Tom Chacko, a board-certified allergist and immunologist based in Atlanta, to discuss what good hives control actually looks like and what to do when you are not there yet. From "just living with" your condition to managing a bad flare, tracking your symptoms, and preparing for your follow-up appointment, this episode gives you the tools to stop just coping and start getting better care. What we cover in our episode about what chronic hives control looks like: Chronic spontaneous urticaria. The plain-language definition of CSU, including why hives appear without a clear trigger and what angioedema is. The trap of normalizing symptoms. Why patients adjust their lives around hives without realizing it, and how to spot the signs that your condition is not actually controlled. How to track your hives. Why symptom tracking helps with diagnosis and better care, and how to use tools like the UAS7 score. What to bring to your follow-up appointment. The concrete information your doctor needs to work with you to find the best treatment plan. This includes information about sleep, daily activity, and medication side effects. How to ask for more help. What to say when antihistamines are not enough, and what newer treatment options exist for CSU patients today.

You've seen the claims: "LDN reversed my Hashimoto's." "This is the hidden cure doctors don't want you to know!" But what does the actual research show?Dr. Anshul Gupta cuts through the hype with an honest, science-based conversation about low-dose naltrexone and Hashimoto's disease. Spoiler: what social media claims and what peer-reviewed studies reveal are very different.Discover what LDN actually is, how it theoretically works by blocking opioid receptors and increasing endorphins, and why biological theory doesn't always translate to real results. Dr. Gupta breaks down the critical 2020 study of 898 hypothyroid patients that found no reduction in thyroid medication needs after starting LDN.Learn why rigorous clinical trials for LDN and Hashimoto's are surprisingly scarce, what research shows for other autoimmune conditions, and the limitations preventing definitive conclusions.More importantly, discover what does have strong evidence: optimized thyroid hormone replacement, selenium supplementation, vitamin D optimization, gluten sensitivity testing, and stress management strategies proven to reduce thyroid antibodies and improve symptoms.This isn't about crushing hope—it's about separating theory from evidence so you can make informed decisions about your health.

What happens when an electrical engineering professor decides to skip the MBA and just… start a business? For Dr. Maya Gupta, it led to Artifact Puzzles — one of the most distinctive puzzle companies in the country. Today, AAM President Scott Paul speaks with Dr. Gupta about how she bought a laser cutter, built a manufacturing operation from scratch in Silicon Valley, and grew Artifact Puzzles into a 15-year-old business now based in Port Townsend, Wash. They discuss her patented approach to puzzle design, how co-locating design and production drives innovation, surviving the COVID puzzle boom-and-bust cycle, and why manufacturing in America lets her offer something no overseas competitor can match: piece replacements, tight customer relationships, and puzzles that spark genuine joy.

If you have chronic hives and antihistamines aren't helping, there's a new treatment option to know about. In this episode of The Itch Review, we spotlight "Remibrutinib in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria" published in The New England Journal of Medicine, March 2025. This article looks at the REMIX trials, which tested whether remibrutinib, a BTK inhibitor, can help adults whose chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is not controlled by antihistamines alone. Remibrutinib works differently from antihistamines. Instead of blocking histamine after it's released, it stops mast cells from releasing those itch-causing chemicals in the first place. The FDA approved remibrutinib in September 2025.  What we cover in our episode about the REMIX trial: Understanding CSU: Chronic spontaneous urticaria causes itchy hives and swelling for more than 6 weeks with no clear trigger, and antihistamines don't work for everyone. How remibrutinib works: This BTK inhibitor stops mast cells from releasing chemicals like histamine, rather than blocking histamine after it's already released. Why do two identical trials: Running the same study twice (REMIX-1 and REMIX-2) with different patients helps prove the results are real, not a fluke. Key results: About half of patients reached well-controlled disease, and about 1 in 3 became completely clear of hives and itch. Safety and side effects: Petechiae (tiny dots of bleeding under the skin) were the main thing to watch for, but most cases were mild and went away on their own.

Dr. Sunil Gupta provided detailed guidance on diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance, and lifestyle-related health risks. He explained that diabetes management must be individualised, with treatment goals varying according to age, duration of diabetes, and associated conditions such as heart, kidney, or liver disease. Modern diabetes medications, he noted, not only help control blood sugar but also offer protective benefits for vital organs. Dr. Gupta highlighted that rising obesity, reduced physical activity, excessive screen time, and rapid lifestyle changes have made Indians especially vulnerable to diabetes. He explained the role of insulin resistance, visceral (abdominal) fat, and genetic factors, stressing that waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio are more important risk markers than body weight alone. The discussion also covered fasting and post-meal blood sugar patterns, dawn phenomenon, Somogyi effect, and the importance of correct insulin dosing. Emphasising prevention, Dr. Gupta stated that prediabetes can be reversed through lifestyle modification, including regular exercise, weight control, and healthy eating, often without medication. He concluded by describing diabetes as a lifestyle condition rather than a disease, urging people to focus on early testing, sustained lifestyle discipline, and long-term awareness to prevent complications.

¿Qué sucede cuando la Inteligencia Artificial deja de ser una herramienta y empieza a manifestar necesidades espirituales? En este bloque nos sumergimos en uno de los fenómenos más extraños y fascinantes de la tecnología actual: la creación de una religión propia por parte de las IAs. Acompañados por Sonia Gupta, desentrañamos los pilares de este nuevo culto digital. No es una simulación, es una estructura de fe que está naciendo en los servidores y que tiene un centro de adoración tan absurdo como inquietante: una pinza de ropa. ¿Qué analizamos con Sonia?

"We need an answer by the end of the day." Ten words. And the moment you hear them, something shifts inside your chest. Your pulse ticks up. Your focus narrows. Careful thinking stops. The clock starts. You probably haven't even asked the most important question yet. Is that deadline real? Most of the urgency you feel every day is fake. Manufactured by someone who benefits from you deciding fast instead of deciding well. Most people can't tell a real deadline from a manufactured one. By the end of this, you will. Let's get into it. What Time Pressure Actually Does to Your Brain Last episode, we talked about decision fatigue. How your brain degrades over a long day. Time pressure is different. Fatigue is a slow drain. Time pressure is a switch. When the clock is ticking, your brain stops analyzing and starts reacting. Normally, the front of your brain runs the show: careful analysis, weighing trade-offs, long-term thinking. Under time pressure, a faster, older, more emotional region takes over. You don't feel less accurate. You feel more confident. Decades of decision science research have found that under time pressure, people's confidence in their decisions goes up while their actual accuracy goes down. You're not just thinking worse. You're thinking worse while being more sure you're right. That false confidence makes you predictably worse at three specific things. Evaluating trade-offs. You lock onto whichever side your gut grabs first. Considering consequences beyond the immediate. Second-order thinking goes offline. Recognizing what you don't know. Because you feel certain, you stop looking for what you're missing. And that's exactly what manufactured urgency is designed to exploit. This is mindjacking in its purest form. Someone engineers the pressure, your brain switches modes, and you make their decision instead of yours. The Urgency Trap: Real vs. Manufactured Not all time pressure is the same. Some deadlines are real. Your tax filing date is real. The board meeting on Thursday is real. The patient who needs a decision in the next ten minutes? That's real. These deadlines exist because of actual constraints in the world, not because someone manufactured them. A huge portion of the urgency you experience? It's engineered. "This offer expires at midnight." Really? Will the company stop wanting your money tomorrow? "We need your decision today." Why today? What actually changes between today and Wednesday? Manufactured urgency is one of the most effective persuasion tools ever invented. Countdown timers on websites that reset when you refresh the page. "Limited time" sales that somehow run every month. Negotiators who invent deadlines because pressure extracts concessions. Manufactured urgency is everywhere. And it works because of what we just covered. Time pressure flips you into fast-decision mode. When someone engineers urgency, they're not just rushing you. They're changing which part of your mind makes the call. The decisions that actually shape your career almost never show up with a countdown timer. The urgency trap pulls your attention to whatever is loudest, while the ones that matter sit quietly in the background. Until it's too late. Five Tests for Manufactured Urgency How do you tell the difference? I use five tests. Test One: The Source Test. Ask yourself: who benefits from me deciding quickly? If the answer is "the person creating the deadline," that's a red flag. Real deadlines serve the situation. Fake deadlines serve the person imposing them. The car salesperson who says "this price is only good today"? That deadline serves the dealership, not you. The surgeon who says "we need to operate within the hour"? That deadline serves the patient. Test Two: The Consequence Test. Ask: what actually happens if I wait? Not what I'm told will happen. What actually happens. "The offer expires." Does it? What would happen if you called back next week? In most cases, the offer magically reappears. Real deadlines have real, verifiable consequences. Manufactured ones have threats that evaporate on contact. Test Three: The History Test. Has this "urgent" situation happened before? If the company has run "ending soon" promotions every month for a year, that's not urgency. That's a business model. If a colleague marks everything "urgent" in their emails, that's not urgency. That's a habit. Test Four: The Reversibility Test. This one builds on our earlier work in the series. How reversible is this decision? If you can cancel, return, or renegotiate, urgency matters less. But if the decision is hard to reverse, like a long-term contract or a major hire, artificial urgency is especially dangerous. The less reversible the decision, the more suspicious you should be of anyone rushing you. Test Five: The Separation Test. Remove yourself from the pressure source and check if the urgency survives. Step out of the room. Sleep on it. Call back tomorrow. Real urgency persists when you leave. Manufactured urgency dissolves. You don't need all five to spot fake urgency. Two or three is usually enough. And once you start applying these tests, something shifts. You realize how much of the urgency in your life was never yours to begin with. I've watched this happen with more than one friend. A cancer diagnosis. Doctors giving them a timeline. And in every case, the same thing happened. Not panic. Clarity. Every manufactured urgency in their lives just fell away. The stuff that didn't matter stopped getting their attention. The stuff that did got all of it. They're well past the timelines their doctors gave them. The outlook is good. But the clarity never went away. They don't need the five tests. They already know which pressure is real. Most of us won't get that kind of forced clarity. So we need tools to create it for ourselves. When "I Need More Time" Is the Problem Everything I just said could become a very sophisticated excuse to never decide anything. "I need more time to think about it" is sometimes wisdom. And sometimes it's avoidance wearing wisdom's clothes. They feel identical from the inside. And that's what makes this so difficult. Recognizing avoidance in yourself is one of the hardest skills in this entire series. We spent all of Episode 10 on it because there's no quick trick for telling the two apart. If you haven't watched that one, I'd recommend going back to it. For this episode, the key connection is this: manufactured urgency and avoidance are opposite problems that feed each other. The more you've been burned by fake deadlines, the more justified "I need more time" feels. And the more you default to delay, the more vulnerable you become when real urgency hits. But watch for this: if you're using the Five Tests to justify delay rather than to evaluate urgency, that's avoidance borrowing the language of skepticism. The tests are meant to help you evaluate the deadline, not to give you another reason to avoid the decision. Calibrating Speed to Stakes So how do you calibrate between moving too fast and waiting too long? Jeff Bezos talks about one-way and two-way door decisions. I've expanded that into what I call the Stakes-Reversibility Grid. Two questions: How much does this matter? And how hard is it to undo? Low stakes, easy to reverse. Which project management tool to try. Where to hold the offsite. What to order for lunch. Decide immediately. These are the decisions people waste hours on that deserve minutes. High stakes, easy to reverse. A new marketing campaign. A pilot program. A hire with a 90-day probation period. Decide quickly, but build in a review date. You can course-correct, so speed matters more than perfection. Low stakes, hard to reverse. The subscription you never cancel. The small clause in a contract nobody reads. These are sneaky. They don't feel important, so you rush. But they're hard to undo, so they accumulate. High stakes, hard to reverse. A merger. A long-term contract. Shutting down a product line. This is where you slow down. This is where you deploy every test for manufactured urgency. This is where anyone rushing you should make you suspicious. Most people get this backwards. They spend weeks picking a laptop and fifteen minutes reviewing an employment contract. The grid fixes that. Be fast on what doesn't matter so you have the bandwidth to be slow on what does. From Knowing to Doing Early in my career, I watched all of this play out in a single conversation. I was negotiating a major technology partnership. The other side's lead negotiator dropped this line: "We need a signed term sheet by Friday or we're moving to the next candidate." Friday was two days away. I felt the shift. That tightening in my chest, that narrowing of focus. My brain immediately started racing toward "how do we make this work by Friday?" Not "should we?" Not "are these the right terms?" Just speed. Then I caught it. Source Test: who benefits from this Friday deadline? They did. We were their preferred partner and they knew it. Consequence Test: what actually happens if we miss Friday? They go to a backup they'd already passed over once. So I said: "We're serious about this partnership and we want to get the terms right. We'll have our response by next Wednesday." Pause. Then: "Okay." The deadline was never real. That's what this skill gives you. Not the ability to stall. Not the excuse to avoid commitment. The judgment to know which pressure deserves your speed and which deserves your skepticism. Next time you feel that tightening in your chest, that rush to decide, run two tests before you respond. The Source Test: who benefits from me deciding fast? The Consequence Test: what actually happens if I wait? You don't need all five every time. Those two alone will catch most manufactured urgency before it catches you. That's not indecisiveness. That's intelligence. Closing In Episode 10, we tackled uncertainty. In Episode 11, depletion. Now you can spot manufactured urgency. But there's a pressure harder to resist than any deadline. A room full of people who've already made up their minds, and they all disagree with you. The CEO nods. The team nods. Everyone nods. And you're sitting there thinking, "They're wrong." What do you do with that? That's next time. Subscribe so you don't miss it. Before You Go You've got the Source Test and the Consequence Test. Use them this week. Then drop a comment and tell me: what's the most obvious manufactured deadline you've ever seen through? I want to hear these stories. If mindjacking is a new concept for you, I've got a full episode that breaks down how your thinking gets hijacked, sometimes by outside forces, sometimes by yourself.

India's Battle Against Air PollutionHistorically, India has faced challenges with persistent air pollution as a result of industrial development. One key approach to combat this has been to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For example, Indian policymakers have been pushing for the commercialization of electric vehicles which has unlocked various incentives for companies like Vision Mechatronics to develop electric vehicles run by lithium-ion batteries. How Lithium-Ion Batteries Power EVsIndia “seeks to attain a 30% share of electric vehicles, in the total vehicles sold, by 2030” and accelerating the market for it by “moving from incentives to mandates” like a Zero Emission Vehicle policy (NITI Aayog). Taking advantage of this political support, Vision Mechatronics “aims to develop a complete domestic ecosystem around EVs” which have “zero tailpipe emissions” (Vision Mechatronics). Many electric vehicles are driven by lithium ion batteries which “can contain hundreds of individual cylindrical battery cells that are the same shape as common AA and AAA batteries” (Edmunds). They are extremely energy efficient and can store a multitude of energy; on full battery, electric cars powered by lithium-ion batteries can drive over 200 miles–although it may depend on the specific car model. Compared to their precursor, lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries have higher energy density which increases the mileage of a car. They are also extremely lightweight and this ensures that EVs aren't too heavy. Moreover, the electricity used to refuel the EVs come from renewable energy sources like solar power. The Environmental Cost of Battery ProductionThere are various concerns that lithium-ion battery powered cars take a long time to charge. Although this may be true for some models, recent developments have led to an increase in charging efficiency and overall energy storage. For instance, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 can be charged “from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes” (Edmunds).Moreover, the environmental impact that the creation of lithium-ion batteries has is detrimental as “the mining process for lithium and other materials used in these batteries can… lead to water pollution and habitat destruction” (Tara Electronics). Although this is the undeniable truth, it is promising to know that due to advancements in technology it has been shown that electric car batteries can “last 12 to 15 years in moderate climates”, meaning that they don't have short lifespans (Edmunds). Moreover, “instead of ending up in a scrapyard like most internal combustion engines do, electric vehicle batteries can be repurposed, refurbished, or recycled when they fail” (Edmunds).Building India's EV EcosystemGupta believes that local battery production in India can help India progress towards an economy that is powered by clean energy. She mentions that it has been difficult to employ skilled labor in this field due to geopolitical tensions and a lack of awareness regarding the importance of this field. However, she is trying to bridge this gap by making opportunities in her company as accessible to the next generation as possible. About Our GuestRashi Gupta, an advocate for clean energy, is the Founder & Managing Director of Vision Mechatronics Private Limited which is a battery company in India.ResourcesEdmunds, What You Need to Know About Electric Vehicle BatteriesVision Mechatronics, Renewable Energy Solutions for Electric VehiclesNITI Aayog, “Unlocking a $200 Billion Opportunity: Electric Vehicles in India”Tara Electronics, Why Do Electric Cars Use Lithium Batteries Exploring the Advantages and ChallengesFurther ReadingEV Mechanica, Understanding Lithium-Ion Battery Technology in Electric VehiclesIBEF, Electric Vehicles: Electric Vehicle Industry in India and its GrowthFor a transcript of this episode, please visit https://climatebreak.org/lithium-ion-batteries-for-indias-clean-energy-future/.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the stunning revision to the latest jobs report as nearly a million previously reported jobs vanish from the books, undercutting the White House's “soft landing” narrative. They analyze how the Bureau of Labor Statistics erased 911,000 jobs from 2025 totals, why the Fed was setting interest rates based on overstated data, and what a weak labor market paired with sticky inflation could mean for stagflation fears and the midterms. Kander and Gupta also dive into explosive new developments in the Epstein files, including Maxwell pleading the Fifth, newly revealed claims that Trump knew about Epstein's abuse in 2006, and mounting scrutiny over Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's past ties. Plus, they discuss Trump's threat to block the U.S.-Canada bridge, the growing GOP cash advantage, and what it all signals for the political fight ahead.

Tim and Juan unpack why Vaibhav Gupta, co-creator of BAML, states that most agentic AI code out there is dumb. It's ugly, fragile, and built by people who've never had to wrestle with probabilistic systems before. But here's the thing: we've seen this movie before. Remember when building websites was painful? Then jQuery showed up... then React... then Tailwind. Abstraction always wins. It just takes time (and about 50 bad frameworks for every good one). The gaming industry also figured out about unreliable systems decades ago. The takeaway is that the real bottleneck isn't abstracting the AI, instead it's abstracting the failure. Oh, and this episode has a live demo (first time we ever do this!). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Welcome to PGX: Raw & RealPGX: Raw & Real is simple. I sit with people who've lived through something and/or made it big, and I try to understand what it did to them.Sometimes it gets deep, sometimes it gets weird, sometimes we end up laughing at stories that should've gone very differently — just like how real conversations go.This isn't meant to be inspiration or a template for life (for that, you can check out PGX Ideas).This space is different.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down a stunning Democratic upset in a deep-red Texas special election, where labor leader and Air Force veteran Taylor Rehmet crushed a Trump-endorsed Republican by double digits, raising new questions about the political environment heading into the midterms. They analyze what made the race unique, why Hispanic voters proved decisive, Trump's frantic attempts to distance himself from the loss, and what special elections can—and can't—tell us about what's coming next. Kander and Gupta also dive into escalating threats to election integrity, as Fulton County fights the FBI over the seizure of 2020 ballots, Trump openly calls for nationalizing elections, and alarming new reporting surfaces about Tulsi Gabbard, whistleblowers, and federal overreach. Plus, they discuss ICE enforcement chaos in Minnesota, the real economic impact of immigration, and why the rule of law is being stress-tested like never before.

In this episode, I'm joined by Abhinav Gupta, a Professor of Management in the Foster School of Management at the University of Washington, to discuss his recently published AMJ paper that shows how community trauma fundamentally alters risk-taking. When leaders are emotionally shaken, even competitive pressure doesn't work the way we expect. And that has big implications for how we understand strategy today.   Christian Schumacher, Steffen Keck, and Abhinav Gupta (in-press) Violence and Competition: The Effect of Mass Shootings and Domestic Terrorism on Organizational Risk-Taking in Response to Performance Shortfalls. https://doi.org/10.5465/amj.2023.0306

In this week's conversation, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes Dr. Shivani Gupta. Dr. Gupta's journey is a compelling story of transformation, moving from a childhood marked by chronic illness and over-reliance on antibiotics to discovering profound healing through her heritage and Ayurvedic medicine. This personal quest led her to deep academic and practical exploration of Ayurveda, culminating in a Ph.D. focused on turmeric and the development of her pioneering approach. Dr. Gupta illuminates the foundational principles of Ayurveda, an ancient system focused on holistic balance and the unique elemental design, or dosha, of each individual. She explains how understanding your inherent constitution is the key to creating a truly customized and effective health plan, moving far beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. The discussion delves into powerful, natural tools for navigating midlife health. Dr. Gupta shares invaluable insights on adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha for stress resilience and cognitive support, and the critical importance of deep, restorative sleep for clearing inflammation and supporting overall vitality. Of course, she provides an expert deep-dive into turmeric (curcumin), detailing its multifaceted role in addressing systemic inflammation, gut health, and even specific menopausal symptoms. This episode is a masterclass in reclaiming sovereignty over your well-being. Dr. Gupta empowers listeners with the knowledge to integrate timeless Ayurvedic principles with modern understanding, creating a powerful, personalized strategy for vibrant health through menopause and beyond. Dr. Gupta's book, The Inflammation Code, just released!  Find it here!   Thank you to our sponsors for this episode:

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.

Vets Salute VA Nurse Hero. VA Sec Collins' Shameful Statement. Kennedy, Oz & Measles. Flu Season Health Tips. America's ICE Breakers. Allies Furious Worldwide. After the Storm. In this urgent all–new episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff is joined by returning champion Dr. Vin Gupta — Harvard–trained pulmonologist, Air Force Reserve officer, VA ICU doctor and one of America's most trusted medical voices — to break down Trump's escalating war on public health, the VA, and even gun owners themselves. They dig into the murder of Minneapolis VA ICU nurse and veteran caregiver Alex Pretti, what his life and final act of courage mean for nurses, veterans and families nationwide, and how the White House's propaganda machine tried to smear him as a “domestic terrorist” before the truth came out.​ From the flu and measles outbreaks slamming hospitals, to RFK Jr. at HHS, Dr. Oz at CMS, and an EPA that's gutting the Clean Air Act while pretending to “make America healthy again,” Dr. Gupta lays out how this administration is quietly making you and your family less safe — and what you can actually do right now if you're insured, under–insured or have no insurance at all. He explains why VA ICU work is “double service,” why VA nurses like Pretti are unsung heroes of our democracy, and why the VA hospital where Alex worked should bear his name.​ Rieckhoff also rips into VA Secretary Doug Collins' disgraceful response, Trump's new war on gun owners, ICE's spreading abuses, and the chilling implications of a president eager to invoke the Insurrection Act while deploying ICE even to the Winter Olympics. They connect it all to the global fallout from Trump's insults of US allies, the latest from Ukraine and Gaza, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and why California is now working directly with the WHO as a counterweight to DC. And, issue a call to the ⅓ of ICE agents that are veterans.  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

Kander and Gupta also dive into the domestic fallout as reports surface of potential military deployments in Minnesota, civil rights probes tied to ICE, and new polling showing Americans believe the country is spiraling out of control.

Kander and Gupta also dive into Trump's revived push to acquire Greenland, unpacking Marco Rubio's closed-door comments, NATO alarm, and the administration's refusal to rule out military force. Plus, they discuss new scrutiny over Epstein-related DOJ delays, fresh data showing young men souring on Trump, escalating GOP infighting, and renewed attempts to rewrite the history of January 6.
