The Inflammation Code w/ Dr. Shivani Gupta

The Inflammation Code w/ Dr. Shivani Gupta

Author: Reed Davis February 16, 2026 Duration: 48:23
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!
