#410: Reversing Burnout: Turmeric, Gut Health, and Circadian Rhythms Explained With Shivani Gupta
Fri Feb 06 2026
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.
