Episode notes

Do you know whether you're Vata, Pitta, or Kapha...and could that explain your stubborn symptoms in midlife? In this episode, I'm joined by my brilliant friend Dr. Shivani Gupta, and we dive into Ayurveda, inflammation, and why your body might be asking for a completely different approach right now.

Have you ever wondered why turmeric seems to work like magic for pain, migraines, or inflammation? Or why the same routines that used to work suddenly don't anymore in perimenopause? We unpack how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom meets modern science—and why that combination matters so much for women over 40.

We also go beyond supplements and symptoms into the deeper shifts of midlife. Is menopause actually an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and redesign your life? What if your fatigue, brain fog, or weight gain isn't failure, but feedback? This conversation might completely change how you see this season!

In this episode, we uncover:

How your elemental design influences inflammation, energy, and hormone balance.
Why curcumin works so powerfully—and what most supplements get wrong.
What Ayurveda says about perimenopause as a physical and spiritual transition.
How simple daily rituals can replace willpower and finally stick.
Why mental and emotional inflammation matter as much as hormones.

If you're ready to rethink menopause and feel more at home in your body, this episode is for you. Come explore a whole new lens on midlife health with us!
