Episode notes
Inflammation Masquerades As Aging
- Chronic low-grade inflammation often masquerades as “aging” with stiffness, brain fog, digestive trouble, mood changes, and vague aches.
- Shivani Gupta likens it to a forest fire inside the body, with ignored alarms that drive symptoms and long-term damage.
Do Lifestyle Shifts To Lower Inflammation
- Address inflammation with lifestyle shifts: improve sleep, move regularly, eat anti-inflammatory foods, and reduce obesity and stress.
- Shivani emphasizes these small changes often outperform default prescriptions like NSAIDs or statins alone.
Raised Between Antibiotics And Ayurvedic Remedies
- Shivani grew up between Western medicine (frequent antibiotics) and Ayurvedic spice remedies from her grandmother.
- Witnessing family members suffer late-life chronic disease pushed her to pursue inflammation as the root cause.
