Welcome to Fusionary Health with Dr. Shivani Gupta.

She outlines a practical antidote: rhythmic breathwork, phone-free nature walks, a “tea-time-is-me-time” ritual, consistent circadian scheduling, and earth-grounding pauses—micro habits that signal safety to the body and cool the inflammatory cascade.Along the way she offers a sneak peek at her forthcoming Hay House × Penguin Random House book The Inflammation Code (publishing 3 Feb 2026), shares a raw account of managing her own burnout while finishing the manuscript, and invites listeners to preorder the book, download a free vagus-toning breath guide, and explore her line of functional Ayurvedic teas.
