Why Stress Is Making Your Hormones Worse (Even If You Eat Healthy & Exercise)

In this episode of Hormone Heroines, we sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore why stress can negatively impact women’s health even when diet and exercise are optimized. Through an Ayurvedic lens, we discuss the concept of ojas (vitality) and how chronic stress depletes the body’s resilience, leading to fatigue, brain fog, and burnout.Dr. Gupta shares practical strategies to restore balance, including improving sleep, eating for your unique body type, and incorporating simple daily rituals like “tea time” to pause and reset. We also explore the importance of stepping away from constant stimulation, such as social media, and engaging in restorative activities like reading to support mental and emotional wellbeing.- - - - -About the Guest:Dr. Shivani Gupta is an Ayurvedic practitioner, functional medicine expert, and author of The Inflammation Code.
