Inflammopause: The Hidden Fire Behind Your Menopause Symptoms | Dr. Shivani Gupta
You haven't stopped taking care of yourself. You may still be exercising, eating well, taking your supplements, and doing many of the same things that worked for years.So why does your body suddenly seem more inflamed?In Part 2 of Dr. Shivani Gupta's Vata Season of Menopause series, she explores what she calls inflammopause—the inflammatory shift that can accompany declining estrogen during perimenopause and menopause.Part 1 introduced the “wind”: rising Vata and the dryness, instability, anxiety, poor sleep, joint changes, and unpredictability that can come with this transition.Now comes the “fire.”What This Conversation Reveals:• How estrogen helps regulate inflammatory signaling and what changes when estrogen declines• Why joint stiffness, metabolic changes, hot flashes, brain fog, and cardiovascular changes can appear during the same life stage• Why Dr. Shivani describes menopause as a collision between rising Vata and rising inflammation• What current research suggests about curcumin and inflammatory pathways• Why Ayurvedic formulations combine turmeric with Boswellia, ginger, amla, Guduchi, and black pepper• How poor sleep can drive inflammation higher while inflammation itself makes restorative sleep harder• Why supporting sleep, nervous system rhythm, and inflammation can become increasingly important in midlifeThe goal isn't to fear menopause. It's to understand what your body is navigating so you can respond with better tools.When you stop seeing every symptom as an isolated problem, the whole transition begins to make more sense.RESOURCES MENTIONED The Inflammation Codehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=true Fusionary Formulas (Inflammation Relief, Turmeric Gold, Deep Sleep Tea)Code CODE15 for 15% offhttps://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast Elemental Design Quiz (find your Vata/fire balance)https://shivanigreenliving.clickfunnels.com/elementaldesign 7-Day Inflammation Detoxhttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/ Free Discovery Call with Dr. Shivanihttps://shivanigupta.com/CONNECT WITH DR.

The Vata Syndrome of Menopause: The Root Cause No One Named| Dr. Shivani Gupta
What if your joint pain, your sleepless nights, your stubborn belly weight, and your 3am anxiety were never ten separate problems? In this solo episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta names the root condition underneath nearly all of it: the Vata Syndrome of Menopause.Drawing on 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic texts alongside modern menopause research, she explains why estrogen functions as your body's "anti-vata" hormone, why hot flashes are actually a wind problem rather than a fire problem, and why some women glide through this transition while others crash.In this episode:Why Western medicine has named a syndrome for the pelvis, the bones, and the brain in menopause, but never for the root connecting themThe real mechanism behind unpredictable hot flashesWhy progesterone often disappears before estrogen, and what that means for early anxiety and sleep disruptionHow thyroid, adrenal, and gut health form a "team" that determines the severity of your transitionWhat ojas (vital reserve) means, and why it decides whether you crash or glideFree, practical Ayurvedic practices that directly ground this shift, starting todayRESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Codehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas SupplementsUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first orderhttps://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/Work with Dr. Shivani / Free Discovery Callhttps://shivanigupta.com/Free Elemental Design Quizhttps://drshivani.com/CONNECT WITH DR.

Healing, Mental Inflammation & the Power of Relationships with Shawn Stevenson
What if the diagnosis you were given isn't the end of your health story?Shawn Stevenson was only 20 when he was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, two herniated discs, and told he had the spine of an 80-year-old. After two years of worsening pain and declining health, one question changed the direction of his life:“What can I do to feel better?”In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Shivani Gupta and Shawn explore what happened next and why healing involves much more than nutrition and exercise. They dig into the nocebo effect, mental inflammation, sleep, brain health, loneliness, social connection, family meals, and the powerful role relationships play in long-term health.What This Conversation Reveals:How Shawn went from being told his condition was “incurable” to seeing documented changes on a follow-up scanWhy the question “What can I do to feel better?” became a turning point in his healing journeyHow the nocebo effect can shape the way the body responds to a diagnosisWhy thoughts, stress, and mental inflammation can influence physical healthWhat research on loneliness and social connection reveals about longevityWhy the quality of your relationships may shape your sleep, food, movement, and stress more than you realizeHow family meals can become a simple but powerful health practiceWhy Shawn believes creating a healthy “microculture” at home can make better habits easier and more sustainableWherever you are in your own healing journey, this episode is a reminder that health does not always have to become more complicated. Sometimes it starts with asking a different question, creating a more supportive environment, and giving your body the conditions it needs to heal.RESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Codehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas SupplementsUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first orderhttps://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/Work with Dr. Shivani / Free Discovery Callhttps://shivanigupta.com/Eat Smarter Family Cookbook by Shawn StevensonAvailable wherever books are soldThe Model Health Showhttps://themodelhealthshow.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shawnmodel/CONNECT WITH DR.

Could Parasites and Mold Be Behind Your Symptoms? with Kim Rogers, The Worm Queen
You're eating clean, sleeping (or trying to), doing everything you know to do, and your labs still come back low across the board. Dr. Shivani sits down with Kim Rogers, "The Worm Queen," to talk about a root cause that's rarely discussed in Western wellness circles: the hidden trifecta of parasites, mold, and Lyme.Kim spent over 20 years working inside Western medicine before her own health crisis, stage four endometriosis, 13 surgeries, and years of undiagnosed chronic Lyme, forced her to find her own answers. Her story went viral in 2021, and she's since built a following of over 1.5 million people teaching women how to advocate for their own health.In this episode:Why parasites, mold, and Lyme often live together in one "biofilm"Everyday symptoms (teeth grinding, bloating, sugar cravings, insomnia) that can point to parasitesWhy standard stool testing can miss parasites entirelyThe surprising history of hookworm and early Western medicineHow hookworm can directly cause iron deficiency and anemiaWhat to expect physically and emotionally during a detoxWhy moving into a new home can trigger unexpected health declineIf your body has been telling you something your labs haven't confirmed yet, this conversation gives you language for it.

The Conscious Parenting Shift Every Midlife Mother Needs with Dr. Shefali
What if the way we're raising our children is quietly teaching them to perform instead of connect? In this episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta talks with Dr. Shefali, Clinical Psychologist, New York Times Bestselling Author, and Founder of the Conscious Parenting Movement, about the difference between raising a "human doing" and a "human being."They dig into why girls today feel crushing pressure to be everything, why boys are quietly withdrawing into loneliness and overstimulation, and why a scrolling, checked-out teenager isn't lazy, they're disconnected. Dr. Shefali also shares the story of a mother whose 13-year-old son kept sneaking out at night, and the surprising shift that turned the standoff into connection.In this episode:Why raising a "human being" instead of a "human doing" changes how you respond to your childWhy girls carry pressure and boys carry overstimulation, and what each actually needsThe Urban Explorer story, and what one mother did differently to reach her sonWhy boys often bond side by side through activity, not face to face through talkingHow a silent 15-minute walk rebuilt trust between a mother and her teenage daughterWhy reclaiming your own authentic identity is the real starting point of conscious parentingWhat it means to stop measuring your parenting by your child's outward achievementsThis conversation isn't about parenting perfectly. It's about seeing your child, and yourself, more clearly.RESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Codehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas SupplementsUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first orderhttps://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/CONNECT WITH DR.

Why Pain Is the Last Signal Your Body Sends, Not the First | Dr. Shivani Gupta
Most of us treat pain as the beginning of a problem. It isn't. By the time you feel it, whether it's a stiff knee, an aching lower back, or hands that hurt in the morning, inflammation has usually been quietly active for months, sometimes years.In this solo episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta breaks down why pain is the last signal your body sends, using her own experience with plantar fasciitis and a round of NSAIDs that damaged her gut without ever solving the original problem.In this episode:The real difference between acute inflammation, which is protective, and chronic inflammation, which is quiet and easy to explain awayWhy Tylenol and Advil work differently, and why neither one addresses the disease process underneath your painWhat's happening inside an osteoarthritic or rheumatoid joint at the cellular levelWhy curcumin research shows results comparable to ibuprofen and prescription NSAIDs, without the gut damageThe COX2 and 5-LOX pathway explanation, and why turmeric and boswellia work better paired togetherHow your everyday ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats shapes your body's baseline inflammatory responseDr. Shivani's honest, still-unfolding story about her own hip and spine painThis conversation is an invitation to listen to the whisper before your body has to shout.

"The Turmeric Truth" — What Actually Makes Curcumin Work with Dr. Shivani Gupta
If you've ever taken turmeric and felt nothing, this episode explains exactly why. Dr. Shivani Gupta, whose PhD dissertation was on turmeric bioavailability, walks through the science of curcumin absorption, the safety issue almost nobody talks about (lead contamination, even in organic turmeric), and what a properly formulated curcumin supplement actually needs to include.She also shares the story that started it all: her grandmother's nightly turmeric milk ritual, and the years of unexplained health struggles that sent her looking for answers modern medicine couldn't give her.What This Conversation Reveals:The difference between turmeric as food and curcumin as a therapeutic compoundWhy fat (like eggs, avocado, or olive oil) meaningfully improves curcumin absorptionWhy some turmeric has been recalled for lead contamination, and what to look for insteadWhere turmeric fits into the GLP-1 and blood sugar conversation, without overpromisingHow declining estrogen in perimenopause raises inflammatory sensitivity, and why that matters for joint pain, brain fog, and moodWhy the benefits of curcumin build over months, not days, and why that's actually the pointRESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Codehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas SupplementsUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first orderhttps://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/Work with Dr. Shivani / Free Discovery Callhttps://shivanigupta.com/CONNECT WITH DR.
