Dr. Shivani Gupta

Your fatigue is not normal.

This week I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and author of The Inflammation Code, to break down "inflammaging," the hidden driver behind so many of the symptoms women write off as "just getting older."

We dig into why turmeric and curcumin are so powerful for midlife inflammation, how Ayurvedic wisdom (vata, pitta, kapha) can help you understand your body type, and simple daily rituals from tongue scraping to Abhyanga oil massage that support hormone balance, better sleep, and long-term vitality.

Dr. Gupta has helped thousands of women reduce inflammation, balance their hormones, and reclaim their energy through her supplement line, teas, book, and the Emmy-nominated show Vibrant Health with Dr. Shivani Gupta.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What "inflammaging" really is and why it's not just aging

  • The Ayurvedic roots of modern wellness science

  • Why Dr. Gupta built her career around turmeric and curcumin

  • The vata, pitta, kapha body types (Elemental Design)

  • What happens to women's hormones, metabolism, and energy after 35

  • A full morning-to-night Ayurvedic self-care routine

  • Her supplement and tea lines, and how to use them
