Unlocking The Inflammation Code: Ayurveda Made Modern w/ Author Dr. Shivani Gupta
Thu Feb 05 2026
Burnout doesn’t start with your calendar. It starts with inflammation. We sat down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to unpack a clearer path to energy and focus using Ayurveda’s elemental design—an approach that swaps one-size-fits-all advice for personalized daily rhythms that actually fit your life.
Dr. Gupta breaks down the three elemental types: Vata (air/ether), Pitta (fire/water), and Kapha (earth/water). You’ll hear how each type shows up at work and at home, the signature signs of imbalance, and the exact levers—food, sleep, movement, and nervous system care—that bring you back to center. We connect these insights with modern science on the gut microbiome, the gut-brain axis, and circadian rhythm, showing why the 10 pm to 2 am window is prime time for clearing inflammation and restoring mental clarity. If you’ve been living on caffeine, protein bars, and late nights, this reframe explains why your brain feels noisy and your body feels stuck.
We also get practical about “mental inflammation,” the chronic stress load that dysregulates the vagus nerve and derails digestion, mood, and memory. Dr. Gupta shares simple rituals—like mindful tea breaks and breath anchors—you can layer into busy days to cool reactivity, prevent the Pitta “volcano,” settle Vata’s whirlwind, and move Kapha into action. From turmeric and ginger to cooked meals and electrolyte hydration, we outline a small, doable reset for each type that compounds into better sleep, steadier energy, easier weight management, and a calmer mind.
If you’ve ever thought “this must be aging,” consider a different diagnosis: inflammation. Learn how to honor your circadian clock, feed your gut, and design your day around your nature, not the noise.
