Dr Shivani Gupta Has a PhD in Turmeric — Here's What She Wants You to Know
from StRest with Kerstin Lindquist · host The Frequency Network: The Wave
This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Shivani Gupta — Ayurvedic practitioner, wellness educator, PhD in turmeric, and founder of Fusionary Formulas — for a deep dive into why inflammation is at the root of almost everything that's making you feel terrible, and what ancient wisdom has known about fixing it for thousands of years. Dr. Shivani introduces the concept of "mental inflammation" — the idea that what you consume through your mind creates the same physical damage as a bad diet — and why standing guard at the door of your mind is non-negotiable for healing. She walks through her six pillars of Ayurveda, breaks down why perimenopause is a "vata season" that requires more warmth and fat, not less, and explains why sprinkling turmeric on your chicken is doing absolutely nothing for your inflammation. Then it gets practical: copper tongue scrapers, abhyanga oil massage, the foot hack that gives you the best sleep of your life, why surgeons are replacing post-op opioids with turmeric, and her "tea time is me time" ritual that she does five times a day to stay sane. The through-line is clear: your body was designed to heal itself — Ayurveda just gives you the playbook.
