#:410 Reversing Burnout: Turmeric, Gut Health, and Circadian Rhythms Explained With Shivani Gupta
Today, I’m joined by the wonderful Dr. Shivani Gupta, a true force in bridging ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with cutting-edge modern research on inflammation and healthy aging. She recently authored The Inflammation Code. Dr. Shivani opens up about her deeply personal motivation—from witnessing her grandfather’s preventable health decline to spending years in both traditional and scientific studies, ultimately earning a PhD focused on turmeric and chronic inflammation.
We get into why inflammation is at the root of so many age-related diseases, how stress and daily habits like sleep can either fuel or heal this silent fire in our bodies, and the powerful role that spices—especially turmeric—play in supporting resilience and longevity. Dr. Shivani unpacks her innovative “elemental design” approach to personalizing health recommendations, debunks big myths about turmeric supplements, and shares simple, actionable rituals anyone can integrate for profound anti-inflammatory benefits.
If you’re curious about using ancient practices to truly upgrade your modern life—and want practical guidance for controlling inflammation, improving energy, and protecting your brain as you age—this episode has you covered.
