इस एपिसोड के बारे में
What if inflammation isn’t simply an inevitable part of aging, but a signal that your body is asking for something different?
In this episode of Root Causes: Vibrant Health, Elizabeth Tringali sits down with Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and author Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore how the ancient principles of Ayurveda can be combined with modern functional medicine to support a more personalized approach to health.
Dr. Gupta breaks down the three Ayurvedic body types, or doshas, and explains how understanding your own “elemental design” can influence the way you eat, sleep, exercise, manage stress, and support digestion. She also shares the six pillars behind her book, The Inflammation Code, including circadian rhythm, digestive health, Ayurvedic self-care practices, and the use of herbs and spices.
The conversation then dives into Dr. Gupta’s specialty: turmeric and curcumin. She explains the difference between culinary turmeric and concentrated curcumin, why absorption matters, and what current research is exploring around curcumin, inflammatory pathways, gut health, brain health, metabolism, and healthy aging.
Elizabeth and Dr. Gupta also discuss sleep, neuroinflammation, digestive “fire,” intermittent fasting, sugar and alcohol, and the small daily habits that may have a much bigger impact on long-term health than we realize.
If you’re interested in inflammation, functional medicine, Ayurveda, longevity, or simply understanding how to work withyour body rather than against it, this episode offers a fascinating bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science.
