#237 Dr. Shivani Gupta — On Ayurveda Meets Modern Science: Inflammation, Gut Health, Circadian Rhythm & Personalized Longevity

Author: Claudia von Boeselager February 4, 2026 Duration: 54:44
Inflammation may feel like a modern problem — but Ayurveda understood it over 5,000 years ago. In this deeply grounding episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner, researcher, and author of The Inflammation Code, reveals how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom is finally being validated by modern science. From circadian rhythm and gut health to nervous system regulation and women’s hormones, Dr. Shivani explains why so many of us are chronically inflamed — and how simple daily rituals can restore balance, energy, and longevity. We explore why inflammation, not aging, is driving fatigue, brain fog, hormonal chaos, and perimenopause symptoms, how “mental inflammation” manifests in the body, and why turmeric and other adaptogenic herbs remain some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory tools available. We explore: - Why inflammation is the real root of chronic disease - Vata, Pitta & Kapha — and how personalization really works - Gut-brain connection through an Ayurvedic lens - Mental inflammation, stress & nervous system overload - How rhythm, sleep, food & ritual restore vitality This is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t require more force — it requires alignment.
