Episode Description from the Publisher

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.
