Have you been told your thyroid is normal, but you are still gaining weight, losing hair, exhausted by 3 PM, and living in a fog? If you have done everything right, clean eating, consistent exercise, and supplements, and nothing is working, this episode may finally give you the answer you have been looking for. It is not you. It is your thyroid.In this episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta sits down with Dr. Amie Hornaman, functional medicine thyroid specialist, host of The Thyroid and Hormone Fixer Podcast, and author of the new book The Thyroid Fix. Dr. Hornaman spent years being dismissed by six different conventional doctors before a seventh finally diagnosed her with hypothyroidism. Even then, the standard T4-only prescription left her no better. Backed by decades of clinical experience and the science of T3 conversion, reverse T3, and the thyroid-adrenal-hormone triangle, she breaks down exactly why so many women are undertreated and what to do about it.Dr. Hornaman shares her own story of gaining 40 pounds while competing in figure competitions and eating nothing but chicken, broccoli, and asparagus, and how it led her into functional medicine and eventually to building one of the most trusted thyroid practices in the country. Dr. Shivani also shares her personal journey from subclinical hypothyroidism to Armour Thyroid to discovering that even natural NDT was not fully working for her body. If you are a woman over 35 navigating perimenopause, unexplained weight gain, brain fog, or fatigue, and your doctor keeps telling you that you are fine, this episode is for you.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy a normal TSH does not mean your thyroid is optimized, and the 5 tests every woman actually needs to ask for, including reverse T3 and TPO antibodiesThe T4-to-T3 conversion problem: why Synthroid and levothyroxine fail many women, and why T4-only treatment keeps you stuck in a low-energy, weight-gain cycleWhy natural desiccated thyroid like Armour and NP Thyroid is not automatically the answer, and how 80 percent T4 in NDT can still push you into reverse T3 lockdown modeHow perimenopause hormones trigger thyroid dysfunction, and the adrenal-progesterone-estrogen-TBG cascade that most doctors are not addressingThe Ayurvedic and lifestyle foundation: why calming inflammation, supporting digestion, and reducing cortisol are non-negotiables before thyroid hormone replacement can workDr. Hornaman's FIX Method, including the supplement, nutrition, and hormone replacement framework that has helped thousands of women get their lives backRESOURCES MENTIONED:The Inflammation Code (book)Fusionary Formulas Supplements — use code CODE15 for 15% off your first order https://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox ChallengeWork with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery Call

And you are not broken.In this episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta sits down with the beloved Dr. Anna Cabeca, OB-GYN, hormone specialist, and creator of Mighty Maca Plus and the Magic Menopause program, to break down what she calls "the devil's pitchfork": the three-pronged crisis of hormone imbalance, adrenal dysregulation, and chronic inflammation that silently dismantles women's health from their late 30s onward. Dr. Anna brings cutting-edge research on DHEA, progesterone, uric acid, and the keto-green alkalinizing approach, backed by her own extraordinary personal journey.Her message to every woman listening: your diagnosis is not your destiny.

What if the system designed to protect your health was never actually built to make you well? Dr. Shivani Gupta has spent 25 years studying why the body gets sick and more importantly, how it heals. What she discovered along the way changed everything about how she practices, how she lives, and how she thinks about the relationship between patient and doctor.In this deeply personal solo episode, Dr. Shivani introduces the concept of health sovereignty, the radical, practical shift from trusting the system as the authority on your body to becoming the expert on it yourself. Drawing on her own experience with a diagnosis that was dismissed, minimized, and nearly handled with a surgery she never needed, she walks through the exact moment she stopped waiting for someone to save her and started building a system that actually worked. From Ayurvedic root cause thinking to functional medicine testing to a daily rhythm that costs nothing, this episode is a complete framework for reclaiming your health from the inside out.If you have ever walked out of a doctor's office with more questions than answers, felt dismissed by results that came back "normal," or been offered medication or surgery with no explanation of why the problem appeared, this episode was made for you.WHAT YOU'LL LEARWhy "normal" lab results do not mean healthy and what the actual difference is between average and optimalHow a hormonal imbalance (excess estrogen) can silently drive growths, inflammation, and symptoms your doctor never connects to the root causeThe systemic pattern behind why conventional medicine offers removal or medication instead of ever asking why the problem appearedWhat Ayurveda teaches about symptoms as messages and why silencing the message without reading it keeps you stuck in a cycleThe 5-part daily rhythm that costs nothing and genuinely moves the needle: tongue scraping, warm water, anti-inflammatory supplements, midday meals, and consistent sleeWhy turmeric extract combined with boswellia and black pepper which increases absorption by up to 2,000% is the daily anti-inflammatory foundation Dr. Shivani built her supplement line aroundRESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Code (book) https://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas Supplements — use code CODE15 for 15% off your first order https://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox ChallengeWork with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery Call

What if the aches, fatigue, and brain fog you've been writing off as "just getting older" are actually signs of chronic inflammation — and completely reversible? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, founder of Fusionary Formulas, Hay House author of The Inflammation Code, and a woman who literally got her PhD in turmeric. She shares her remarkable journey from a sick kid growing up between Houston and India, to studying at the feet of Ayurvedic gurus, to building a nutraceutical company that hundreds of doctors now recommend to their patients.Whether you're an entrepreneur pushing hard toward a big goal or someone who's just tired of feeling tired, this conversation will shift the way you think about your health.

Most of us have been taught to treat our health like a checklist. Take the probiotic. Go to the gym. Sleep more. Reduce stress. Check, check, check. But what if the checklist itself is the problem? Not because those things aren't good, they are, but because a list of isolated actions is not the same as a system that works together.Dr. Shivani Gupta has spent decades living between two healing worlds, the Western medicine she grew up with in America and the Ayurveda she absorbed growing up in an Indian household where turmeric in warm milk wasn't a wellness trend, it was just Tuesday. And in this episode, she brings those two worlds together to explain why synergy, the strategic combination of herbs, habits, and timing, is the piece most women are missing. She breaks down the molecular science, shares a client story that will make you rethink your supplement shelf, and gives you a practical first step to start building your own synergistic health system this week.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:Why “doing everything right” can still fail and the shift from adding more to multiplying resultsThe Ayurvedic principle of Rasayana and how true formulas create synergy, not just benefitsWhy curcumin needs support and how other herbs fill the gaps for full-body inflammation reliefThe bioavailability breakthrough: how black pepper transforms turmeric absorptionThe difference between stacked habits and synergistic routines that actually workA real 4-week transformation during perimenopause using alignment, not overload3 simple questions to audit and optimize your routine todayRESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Code (book)Fusionary Formulas Supplements (use code CODE15 for a 15% Off your first order)7-Day Inflammation Detox ChallengeWork with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery CallCONNECT WITH DR.

“Mindfulness means your mind is full of one thing, right? Be mindful of that one thing when you're at work. Just be at work. Live that passion, work in it as much as you can.

What if the reason you feel overwhelmed… isn't because you're doing too little but because you've been living in “go mode” for too long?In this conversation, Dr. Shivani Gupta sits down with Dr. Melissa Sonners, a nervous system guide, brainwave educator, and author of The Connection Code to unpack a truth most high-achieving women aren't told: sometimes it's not about doing more, it's about finally learning how to downshift. Together, they explore how chronic stress, burnout, and even serious health breakdowns can happen despite “doing all the right things,” and what it actually takes to feel better again.Dr. Melissa introduces a simple but powerful framework of “brain states,” explaining how most of us wake up calm and connected… only to immediately shift into stress mode without realizing it. From there, everything - your energy, your decisions, even your ability to feel present gets shaped by that state.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:Why staying busy and “productive” can actually keep your body stuck in stress modeThe difference between beta (survival mode) and alpha (connection and flow) and why it mattersHow to recognize the internal voice that pushes you to do more (and how to gently shift it)A simple “expanded gaze” technique to calm your nervous system in real timeWhy pushing through your week to “rest later” often backfires physiologicallyHow boundaries and self-agreements directly impact your nervous system healthThe surprising reason you may still feel disconnected even when you're doing all the “right” wellness habitsRESOURCES MENTIONED:

Dr. Shivani Gupta pulls the curtain back on inflammation—the silent killer living in your body—and how Big Pharma profits from keeping you sick, numb, and dependent. This isn't wellness talk… this is exposure. Your pain isn't random. It's engineered, ignored, and monetized. Wake up, clean up, #lookItUp

If you've ever felt like your body turned against you somewhere in your 40s or 50s and no one had real answers... this episode is for you.I sat down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, PhD, Ayurvedic practitioner, founder of Fusionary Formulas, and author of The Inflammation Code (Hay House) for one of the most illuminating conversations we have had on Fire and Soul. We went deep on what is really happening in midlife, why inflammation is the root of so much of what we are experiencing, and how a 5,000 year old system of wisdom is giving us answers that modern medicine is just now catching up to.Dr. Shivani grew up in Houston, spent her childhood sick and cycling through antibiotics, and eventually made her way to Ayurvedic healing centers across India in search of answers. What she found changed everything, and now she has dedicated her life to bringing that wisdom to the West in a way that is accessible, practical, and deeply grounding.This conversation will meet you exactly where you are.In this episode we cover:What inflammation actually is (acute vs. chronic) and why most of us are walking around with a low grade forest fire burning underneath the surfaceThe term Dr. Shivani coined that stopped me in my tracks: mental inflammation, and why no amount of green juice will save you if you are not addressing this piece firstThe three Elemental Design types from Ayurveda (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and how knowing yours changes everything from what you eat to how you exercise to why hot yoga might actually be working against youWhy Pitta women in menopause need to stop choosing the hottest, hardest, most intense option and what cooling actually looks like in practiceThe gut microbiome and why the antibiotics so many of us took as kids may have set the stage for what we are experiencing now in midlifeHow circadian rhythm, copper tongue scraping, super spices, and a simple cup of tea can become the foundation of a sustainable resetThe 14 day Inflammation Reset inside the book and where to start for free if you are not ready to dive in all the wayHow Human Design, Gene Keys, Vedic astrology, and Ayurveda can layer together into a dashboard of self understanding unlike anything else available to us right nowAnd the reminder that moved me most: we are sovereign in our health. We have always had more power than we were told.If this episode finds you in the thick of it, know this: what you are experiencing is real. It has a name. It has roots. And there is a path through it that does not require you to suffer in silence or white knuckle your way to the other side.This is exactly the kind of conversation Fire and Soul exists for.Resources Mentioned:The Inflammation Code by Dr. Shivani Gupta >> drshivani.comElemental Design Quiz (discover your Ayurvedic constitution) >> drshivani.comFree 7 Day Inflammation Detox >> 7dayinflammationdetox.comGet Quiet by Elaine Glass (Hay House) >> https://elaineglass.com/bookConnect with Dr. Shivani Gupta:Website >> drshivani.comInstagram >> https://www.instagram.com/dr.shivaniguptaLoved this episode?Screenshot it, share it to your stories, and tag me and Dr. Shivani.

Are you eating clean, working out consistently, and still gaining weight — especially around your middle? You're not broken, lazy, or imagining things. Your metabolism is inflamed.In this solo episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta breaks down the real science behind midlife weight gain and why the tired advice to "eat less and move more" can actually make things worse.Backed by a landmark January 2026 study from UT Southwestern — which identified the molecular switch that triggers uncontrolled inflammation in obesity — Dr. Shivani explains why chronic inflammation causes insulin resistance, belly fat storage, and a feedback loop that's nearly impossible to break through willpower alone.She shares the story of her own unexplained weight gain at 37, and how client Lisa — a dedicated runner — lost 15 pounds in 3 months not by restricting more, but by calming her nervous system and reducing inflammation.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN• Why chronic inflammation blocks insulin signaling and shifts your body into fat-storage mode• The NLRP3 inflammasome feedback loop: how obesity, inflammation & insulin resistance reinforce each other• Why intense daily workouts can backfire when cortisol is already elevated• The Vata-pacifying diet and why cold raw foods may be sabotaging your metabolism• A 4-step framework to calm inflammation and support metabolic flexibility• Why curcumin works on 30+ inflammatory pathways — and why that matters more than fish oilRESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Code (book)https://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas Supplements (use code CODE15 for a 15% Off your first order)https://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/Work with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery Callhttps://shivanigupta.com/CONNECT WITH DR.

You wake up with a flat stomach… but by the end of the day, you feel bloated, uncomfortable, and wondering what went wrong.If you've tried eliminating foods, taking probiotics, or “eating clean” and the bloating still shows up, your body may be sending you a deeper signal.In this solo episode of The Inflammation Code Podcast, Dr. Shivani Gupta explores why bloating is often one of the earliest warning signs of gut inflammation and how digestive imbalance can quietly affect your energy, hormones, mood, and immune system.Blending Ayurvedic wisdom with modern gut science, she explains why so many women over 35 experience bloating alongside fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and hormone shifts and why addressing the root cause of gut dysfunction can transform your entire health.Rather than chasing symptoms, this episode helps you understand what your body is actually communicating through bloating and how to begin restoring digestive balance.In This Episode, You'll Learn• Why bloating is often the first visible sign of gut inflammation, not just a reaction to food• How 70% of your immune system lives in your gut and why that matters for chronic inflammation• The Ayurvedic concept of Agni (digestive fire) and how weak digestion leads to toxin buildup (Ama)• How chronic stress, blood sugar instability, and microbiome imbalance silently damage the gut lining• The key differences between Vata, Pitta, and Kapha bloating patterns and why your constitution matters• Simple Ayurvedic daily practices that help reduce bloating and support healthy digestion• Why probiotics alone often don't work and what your gut actually needs to healMany women spend years believing their digestion is broken or that their symptoms are random.But your body is incredibly intelligent.When you understand the deeper connection between your gut, inflammation, stress, and daily rhythms, healing becomes simpler — and much more empowering.Your bloating isn't just a digestive inconvenience.It's a message from your body asking you to listen.Links + Resources Mentioned• Learn more about The Inflammation Codehttps://theinflammationcode.com• Take the Dosha Quizhttps://shivanigupta.com• This episode is sponsored by Fusionary Formulas — Ayurvedic supplements designed to reduce inflammation, support sleep, and restore balance.Shop at: https://fusionaryformulas.comUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first order.

If you started your business because you're brilliant at what you do — you're not alone. Most business owners don't begin their journey dreaming of managing a team. They start because they're passionate about their craft, their expertise, or the impact they want to make. But eventually, something shifts. You reach a point where the business grows beyond what you alone can do. And the next stage of growth doesn't come from working harder — it comes from learning how to lead. In this week's episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, I sat down with leadership expert and entrepreneur Shivani Gupta to talk about one of the most important transitions a founder can make: moving from doing the work to leading the people who do the work. It's a transition many founders struggle with. Shivani shared that early in her career, she believed success meant working longer hours and doing everything herself. But over time, she discovered something surprising — the more she learned to let go, delegate, and focus on her "zone of genius," the more successful her businesses became. In this conversation, we explore: The critical mindset shift founders must make to grow beyond themselves The hidden cost of losing a team member (it's far more than recruitment) Why your highest performers are actually the most at risk of burnout The hiring mistake many small business owners make when they're in a hurry And the leadership skill most founders were never taught — but absolutely need One insight that stood out for me was Shivani's perspective on leadership as a coaching role. When founders learn how to ask better questions, support their team's thinking, and empower others to take ownership, something powerful happens: the team grows, the business grows, and the founder finally gets the space to lead. And that's ultimately what building a business is about — creating something that works with you, not something that depends entirely on you. If you're building a team, or thinking about building one, this episode will give you practical insights you can start using right away.

Her upcoming book Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself introduces her HER method, helping women reconnect to self-trust, clarity, and balance without treating symptoms in isolation.What you'll learn:*Why women often say “I don't feel like myself” (and what that signals)*How estrogen/progesterone shifts can amplify anxiety, irritability, and resentment*Why gut/liver/lymph support matters for hormone clearance*The connection between boundaries, values, and hormonal stability*How simple daily rituals restore safety in the body and soften burnoutConnect with Dr. Sonya JensenBook: https://healyourhormonesbook.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsonyajensen/Links + Resources mentioned• Learn more about The Inflammation Code: https://theinflammationcode.com• Take the Dosha Quiz: https://shivanigupta.com• 7-Day Inflammation Detox: https://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/• Sponsored by Fusionary Formulas: https://fusionaryformulas.com(code CODE15)

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Shivani Gupta to talk about Ayurveda, inflammation, and what this 5,000 year old system of medicine reveals about Hashimoto's and thyroid health.There are moments in clinical practice where you realize the conversation around inflammation has been too narrow. We measure antibodies. We look at gut markers. We talk about nutrients. But there is another layer that often gets overlooked, the way daily rhythm and nervous system patterns shape immune behavior.Ayurveda does not separate digestion from stress or stress from immune signaling. It looks at the entire terrain. It asks how your constitution influences the way you burn through energy, hold onto it, or stagnate it. It challenges the idea that everyone should follow the same rules for healing.What I appreciate about this discussion is that it does not add complexity. It adds perspective. It reframes inflammation as something influenced by pace, timing, and consistency, not just inputs.If you have ever felt like you were doing everything on paper and still missing something deeper, this episode will help you see your thyroid in a more integrated way.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/ayurveda-inflammation-hashimotos-thyroid-dr-shivani-gupta/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com

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.

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.

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:

Today is a celebration—The Inflammation Code is officially out. In this special “flip-the-script” episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta's mentor and friend Kiran Krishnan interviews her about the book, the science behind turmeric and inflammation, and the deeper Ayurvedic framework that makes healing feel personal and doable. Together they explore elemental design (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), the role of circadian rhythm, why stress creates mental inflammation, and how small daily choices build real resilience over time.Key TakeawaysTurmeric can be powerful, but form + absorption + lifestyle context matter.Your healing plan isn't one-size-fits-all—your elemental design changes how you eat, rest, and recover.Circadian rhythm isn't a trend—alignment with nature supports repair and inflammation clearance.Chronic stress can become “mental inflammation,” lowering resilience and disrupting gut/immune balance.The goal isn't perfection—it's rhythm, consistency, and safety in the body.Links & Resources MentionedLearn more about the book: www.theinflammationcode.comDr. Shivani Gupta: www.shivanigupta.comFollow Kiran Krishnan on IG: @KiranBioMe Gentle Listener InvitationIf you're someone who's tried “everything” and still feels inflamed or stuck, this episode is an invitation to come back to the basics—through a personalized lens. Consider listening with a notebook nearby and choosing one small ritual to start with this week.

Pain that creeps in, brain fog that lingers, weight that resists every effort—what if the culprit isn't “just getting older,” but inflammaging? We sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, author of The Inflammation Code, to connect ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science and map out a practical plan for cooling chronic inflammation. Instead of chasing symptoms, we focus on the terrain: circadian rhythm, gut health, stress load, and daily rituals that nudge the body back into repair mode.Shivani shares a refreshingly doable morning routine—intention setting, hydration, tongue scraping, and early sunlight—that anchors your clock and digestion. She then walks us through soothing evening practices like dry brushing, abhyanga oil massage, and mineral baths to move lymph, calm the nervous system, and deepen sleep. We explore the concept of “mental inflammation,” how chronic stress inflames the body, and why short decompression breaks plus adaptogens such as ashwagandha and shatavari help regulate mood and resilience.We also dive into the science of turmeric: how curcumin modulates NF-kB and TNF-alpha, supports the gut lining, affects AMPK and sirtuins, and promotes neurogenesis and mitochondrial health. You'll hear when food sources are enough, when supplements make sense, how to boost absorption with black pepper and healthy fats, and key safety notes for blood thinners and kidney stone risk. For midlife women, Shivani emphasizes sleep as the non-negotiable lever—assessing progesterone, using calming botanicals, and protecting the 10–2 overnight window where the body clears inflammation.If you're ready to replace quick fixes with smart rhythms, spice up your meals with potent anti-inflammatory allies, and finally feel your energy return, this conversation offers a clear roadmap.

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

If you're a health-focused entrepreneur who hustles hard but feels inflamed, exhausted, wired-but-tired, or out of rhythm with your body, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore how chronic stress, circadian rhythm disruption, and nervous system overload are quietly driving inflammation, burnout, gut issues, hormone imbalance, and immune dysfunction—especially in high-achieving women. We talk about Ayurveda as a practical, modern lifestyle framework, not a trend, and how understanding your elemental design (dosha) can help you work with your biology instead of constantly fighting it. This episode is a grounding reminder that you can still be ambitious—and healthy—at the same time. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Why Stress Creates Inflammation (Even If You Eat "Healthy") Chronic mental and emotional stress keeps the nervous system locked in fight-or-flight, which directly fuels physical inflammation and chronic disease. We talk about why you can't live in hustle mode 24/7 without eventually draining your reserves—and how burnout is often the body's last signal to slow down. 2. Circadian Rhythm and Seasonal Hustle Not every season of life is meant for full throttle. We discuss how circadian rhythm and elemental design teach us when to push—and when to rest—so we don't burn out the very bodies we rely on to build our businesses. 3. Ayurveda 101: Understanding Your Elemental Design Dr. Shivani breaks down the three Ayurvedic constitutions in a modern, relatable way: Vata (air + ether): creative, fast-moving, prone to anxiety, dryness, insomnia Pitta (fire + water): driven, focused, prone to irritability, inflammation, overheating Kapha (earth + water): steady, nurturing, prone to sluggish metabolism, stagnation Knowing your type helps you eat, work, rest, and self-regulate more effectively—especially as an entrepreneur. 4. Food as Grounding, Not Restriction We talk about why: Vata types often need more carbs and healthy fats, not less Pitta types need cooling foods to calm inflammation Kapha types thrive with movement and warm, easy-to-digest meals This conversation reframes food as nourishment and regulation—not control. 5. Perimenopause, Menopause & Hormonal Shifts We dive into how Ayurveda supports women through hormone changes by focusing on: Sleep quality Gut health Stress regulation Circadian rhythm alignment Herbal and lifestyle support Rather than fearing these transitions, we talk about how to move through them with more resilience and self-trust.  

Inflammation is one of the most common words I hear from clients, yet so few people truly understand what it means or how it shows up in the body. If you have been dealing with joint pain, fatigue, digestive issues, brain fog, or a sense that your body feels constantly dysregulated, this conversation is for you. In today's episode, I sat down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore inflammation through the lens of Ayurveda and modern science. We talk about how chronic inflammation develops, why digestion and daily rhythm matter so much, and how understanding your unique constitution can change the way you care for your body. We also dive into simple, grounding rituals like tea time, movement in nature, supporting digestive fire, and the science behind turmeric as a powerful anti-inflammatory when used intentionally. Dr. Shivani Gupta is an Ayurvedic practitioner, PhD researcher, and author of The Inflammation Code, dedicated to helping people heal at the root and reconnect with their body's wisdom. What's Discussed: (02:10) Daily rituals that help the body feel grounded and regulated (08:00) Early signs of inflammation most people overlook (11:20) What chronic inflammation really is and why it becomes the root of disease (14:30) Ayurvedic constitutions and why personalized healing matters (19:00) Life stages, perimenopause, and shifting inflammation patterns (22:40) Turmeric science and why most supplements miss the mark (31:10) Why herbal remedies take time and how to know they are working (41:00) Digestion, digestive fire, and the gut as the center of healing (53:30) Detox, nourishment, and restoring balance in a toxic modern world Thank You to Our Sponsors: Timeline: Supporting your cells is one of the most impactful places to invest in your long-term health.

Welcome to the next chapter. In this first episode of The Inflammation Code, Dr. Shivani Gupta shares why the podcast is evolving from Fusionary Health into a focused space for decoding inflammation as a message, not a malfunction. You'll learn why “more information” isn't the answer when you feel off, how symptoms often share a common thread, and why healing works best through small, steady rituals that create safety in the body—where real change can finally begin.Key TakeawaysYour body is not broken. It's adapting and communicating.When you shift from “What's wrong with me?” to “What am I responding to?” healing gets clearer.Healing isn't an event—it's a process, and more specifically, a rhythm.Consistency creates safety. Safety allows your systems to soften.You're not late, and you're not failing—you're learning a new language.This is for you if you've ever felt like something was off—even when you were told everything looked fine. If you're thoughtful, curious, and tired of guessing… you're in the right place.Your body has been communicating with you this whole time. This podcast is here to help you understand what it's been saying—one small, daily ritual at a time.ResourcesThe Inflammation Code (book) — Dr. Gupta recommends reading and applying the principles throughout the year as the podcast expands on the book's wisdom.

Digestion and cravings can all start in your nervous system. Food decisions made from a stressed, sympathetic nervous system state will lead you to specific foods for your survival. You then struggle to digest those foods, not because there is something “wrong” with the food or your gut, but because your digestion has shut down to prepare you for battle. You can start to see that every food behavior you have is trying to do something FOR you. Your body needs attunement, compassion, and safety, not ridicule, shame, and judgment. Getting to know how your unique body functions and what it needs and when can be an empowering experience. And, there are many lenses that you can get to know your body through. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner, inflammation expert, and author, about: Ayurveda in a modern contextFood as nourishmentUnderstanding your individual dietary needs based on your constitution and doshasSeasonal eating and circadian rhythmsGrowing in your awareness of your connection with foodYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-to-choose-foods-based-on-your-bodys-constitutionChat with you more next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Dr. Shivani: Website: www.shivanigupta.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.shivanigupta/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.shivanigupta Book: The Inflammation Code: https://amzn.to/4sTPjkpSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

For decades, women have been told to push through midlife symptoms quietly—sleep less, eat less, exercise more, complain less. But the reality is far more complex, and far more biological. Menopause isn't a breakdown. It's a system-wide recalibration that medicine has failed to fully explain or support.On this episode of the Fusionary Health Podcast, Dr. Shivani Gupta is joined by Dr. Fiona Lovely, a pioneer in menopause education and one of the first clinicians to publicly center women's midlife health. With over 20 years of clinical experience spanning musculoskeletal health, restorative endocrinology, functional neurology, and functional medicine, Dr. Lovely has helped reshape how menopause is understood. She's the founder of the Menopause Doula Society and the long-running podcast Not Your Mother's Menopause, launched in 2015.Together, they unpack the real physiological shifts of perimenopause and menopause from brain rewiring and hormonal volatility to joint pain, metabolic changes, bladder health, and the critical role of estrogen. This conversation offers clarity, validation, and a roadmap for women who refuse to be dismissed during one of the most powerful transitions of their lives.Key Highlights• Why menopause is a neurological, hormonal, and metabolic recalibration• The overlooked musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause and why joint pain spikes• How estrogen loss affects brain health, heart health, and bladder function• Why women are wrongly blamed for midlife weight gain and cholesterol changes• The truth about HRT, topical estrogen, and progesterone timing• How menopause doulas and self-advocacy are changing women's healthcareWhy You Should Watch This episode empowers women with science-backed understanding of menopause, helping them recognize real physiological shifts, challenge outdated medical narratives, and advocate confidently for hormone, brain, joint, and metabolic support during midlife.
