The Inflammation Code

Are you eating clean, managing your stress, doing everything right and still gaining weight, snapping at everyone you love, and lying awake at 3 a.m. wondering what happened to you? You are not imagining this. And you are not broken.In this episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta sits down with the beloved Dr. Anna Cabeca, OB-GYN, hormone specialist, and creator of Mighty Maca Plus and the Magic Menopause program, to break down what she calls "the devil's pitchfork": the three-pronged crisis of hormone imbalance, adrenal dysregulation, and chronic inflammation that silently dismantles women's health from their late 30s onward. Dr. Anna brings cutting-edge research on DHEA, progesterone, uric acid, and the keto-green alkalinizing approach, backed by her own extraordinary personal journey.Her message to every woman listening: your diagnosis is not your destiny. If you are struggling with unexplained weight gain, perimenopause rage, brain fog, bladder issues, or the feeling that your body has turned against you, this episode will change how you understand yourself.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy DHEA starts declining before estrogen and what this means for your bones, brain, bladder, vaginal health, and moodThe truth about "estrogen dominance" , why it is actually progesterone insufficiency, and why dropping progesterone is linked to anxiety, insomnia, and even psychiatric misdiagnosisHow the keto-green alkalinizing approach helped Dr. Anna lose 18 of 20 perimenopause pounds in just 6 weeksWhy uric acid is a hidden driver of weight gain and metabolic slowdown and how to check yours for pennies a dayHow intermittent fasting for as little as 13 hours significantly reduces breast cancer recurrence risk, backed by a 2016 JAMA studyThe "oxyplay" framework, why increasing oxytocin through connection, laughter, and play is the most powerful hormone-balancing tool available to youMighty Maca Plus and JOLVA topical DHEA, what they do, who needs them, and how Dr. Anna formulated them from her global travelsThe Inflammation Code (book) https://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas Supplements (use code CODE15 for 15% off your first order)7-Day Inflammation Detox ChallengeWork with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery CallDr. Anna Cabeca's WebsiteFree Gift for Listeners — Mighty Maca & JOLVA samples + 10-Day Breeze Through Menopause Program:Use code DR.

What if the system designed to protect your health was never actually built to make you well? Dr. Shivani Gupta has spent 25 years studying why the body gets sick and more importantly, how it heals. What she discovered along the way changed everything about how she practices, how she lives, and how she thinks about the relationship between patient and doctor.In this deeply personal solo episode, Dr. Shivani introduces the concept of health sovereignty, the radical, practical shift from trusting the system as the authority on your body to becoming the expert on it yourself. Drawing on her own experience with a diagnosis that was dismissed, minimized, and nearly handled with a surgery she never needed, she walks through the exact moment she stopped waiting for someone to save her and started building a system that actually worked. From Ayurvedic root cause thinking to functional medicine testing to a daily rhythm that costs nothing, this episode is a complete framework for reclaiming your health from the inside out.If you have ever walked out of a doctor's office with more questions than answers, felt dismissed by results that came back "normal," or been offered medication or surgery with no explanation of why the problem appeared, this episode was made for you.WHAT YOU'LL LEARWhy "normal" lab results do not mean healthy and what the actual difference is between average and optimalHow a hormonal imbalance (excess estrogen) can silently drive growths, inflammation, and symptoms your doctor never connects to the root causeThe systemic pattern behind why conventional medicine offers removal or medication instead of ever asking why the problem appearedWhat Ayurveda teaches about symptoms as messages and why silencing the message without reading it keeps you stuck in a cycleThe 5-part daily rhythm that costs nothing and genuinely moves the needle: tongue scraping, warm water, anti-inflammatory supplements, midday meals, and consistent sleeWhy turmeric extract combined with boswellia and black pepper which increases absorption by up to 2,000% is the daily anti-inflammatory foundation Dr. Shivani built her supplement line aroundRESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Code (book) https://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas Supplements — use code CODE15 for 15% off your first order https://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox ChallengeWork with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery Call

Most of us are walking around with underpowered cells and we don't even know it. In this episode, Dr. Shivani welcomes back Caroline Alan, founder of Beam Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, for a conversation that will completely change how you think about your energy, your sleep, and your health.Caroline breaks down why your body needs a full spectrum of 18-22 minerals in the right ratios, how humic and fulvic molecules work as nature's cellular delivery system, and why common tests like blood work miss the full picture entirely. She also shares the two tests she recommends (HTMA and OligoScan) and why minerals are the single most foundational thing you can do for your health, before everything else.Key Takeaways:Mineral depletion is behind fatigue, brain fog, sleep disruption, hair loss, and gut problemsYour cells need minerals to generate up to 1,200 watts of energy dailyHumic molecules bind and remove heavy metals, glyphosate, nanoplastics, and moreFulvic molecules shuttle nutrients in and toxins out at the cellular levelThe best mineral form mirrors what nature already pre-formulated for usRESOURCES MENTIONED:📖 The Mineral Reset by Caroline Alan mineralresetbook.com | Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and Books A Million📖 The Inflammation Code by Dr. Shivani Gupta 🌿 Fusionary Formulas Supplements (use code CODE15 for a discount) 🔥 7-Day Inflammation Detox Challenge https://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/📞 Work with Dr. Shivani: Free Discovery Call https://shivanigupta.com/CONNECT WITH CAROLINE ALAN Website: beamminerals.com (use code DRSHIVANI for 20% off) Book: mineralresetbook.comInstagram: @carolinealan.official

Have you ever done everything right, eating clean, exercising, managing stress and still felt like your body was quietly unraveling? In this episode, Dr. Shivani sits down with Cynthia Thurlow, nurse practitioner, two-time TEDx speaker, and author of the brand-new book The Menopause Gut, for one of the most important conversations in women's health: what happens to the gut during perimenopause and menopause, and why almost no one is talking about it.This is the conversation your doctor probably hasn't had with you yet, and the one your body has been waiting for.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy estrogen is far more than a reproductive hormone and how it protects your gut lining, immune system, serotonin, and insulin sensitivityThe bi-directional relationship between estrogen and the gut microbiome, and why you can't address one without the otherWhat the estrobilome is and how impaired estrogen detoxification contributes to brain fog, weight gain, joint pain, and breast tendernessWhy leaky gut becomes more likely in perimenopause and how declining estrogen is the missing link most doctors skipThe surprising reason women over 40 are more prone to UTIs and how vaginal estrogen alone reduces them by 70%Why food monogamy (eating the same foods every day) quietly destroys gut diversity and what to do insteadWhat annual stool testing reveals that your regular doctor almost never ordersThe food-first approach to probiotics and why drugstore supplements are usually the worst optionHow circadian rhythm disruption directly alters the gut microbiome and what that means for late eating and poor sleepCynthia's take on essential amino acids, creatine quality, and what really matters in the supplement spaceIf this episode opened your eyes to something your body has been trying to tell you, share it with a woman in your life who deserves to hear this, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. It helps more women find this conversation.

Most of us have been taught to treat our health like a checklist. Take the probiotic. Go to the gym. Sleep more. Reduce stress. Check, check, check. But what if the checklist itself is the problem? Not because those things aren't good, they are, but because a list of isolated actions is not the same as a system that works together.Dr. Shivani Gupta has spent decades living between two healing worlds, the Western medicine she grew up with in America and the Ayurveda she absorbed growing up in an Indian household where turmeric in warm milk wasn't a wellness trend, it was just Tuesday. And in this episode, she brings those two worlds together to explain why synergy, the strategic combination of herbs, habits, and timing, is the piece most women are missing. She breaks down the molecular science, shares a client story that will make you rethink your supplement shelf, and gives you a practical first step to start building your own synergistic health system this week.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:Why “doing everything right” can still fail and the shift from adding more to multiplying resultsThe Ayurvedic principle of Rasayana and how true formulas create synergy, not just benefitsWhy curcumin needs support and how other herbs fill the gaps for full-body inflammation reliefThe bioavailability breakthrough: how black pepper transforms turmeric absorptionThe difference between stacked habits and synergistic routines that actually workA real 4-week transformation during perimenopause using alignment, not overload3 simple questions to audit and optimize your routine todayRESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Code (book)Fusionary Formulas Supplements (use code CODE15 for a 15% Off your first order)7-Day Inflammation Detox ChallengeWork with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery CallCONNECT WITH DR.

What if the reason you feel overwhelmed… isn’t because you’re doing too little but because you’ve been living in “go mode” for too long?In this conversation, Dr. Shivani Gupta sits down with Dr. Melissa Sonners, a nervous system guide, brainwave educator, and author of The Connection Code to unpack a truth most high-achieving women aren’t told: sometimes it’s not about doing more, it’s about finally learning how to downshift. Together, they explore how chronic stress, burnout, and even serious health breakdowns can happen despite “doing all the right things,” and what it actually takes to feel better again.Dr. Melissa introduces a simple but powerful framework of “brain states,” explaining how most of us wake up calm and connected… only to immediately shift into stress mode without realizing it. From there, everything - your energy, your decisions, even your ability to feel present gets shaped by that state.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:Why staying busy and “productive” can actually keep your body stuck in stress modeThe difference between beta (survival mode) and alpha (connection and flow) and why it mattersHow to recognize the internal voice that pushes you to do more (and how to gently shift it)A simple “expanded gaze” technique to calm your nervous system in real timeWhy pushing through your week to “rest later” often backfires physiologicallyHow boundaries and self-agreements directly impact your nervous system healthThe surprising reason you may still feel disconnected even when you’re doing all the “right” wellness habitsRESOURCES MENTIONED:📖 The Inflammation Code (book)🌿 Fusionary Formulas Supplements (use code CODE15 for a discount)🔥 7-Day Inflammation Detox Challenge📞 Work with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery CallConnect with Dr. Melissa SonnersWebsite: https://drmelissasonners.com/ https://drmelissasonners.com/urgencyreset/InstagramYoutubeBook: The Connection CodeIf this episode made you pause and rethink how you’re moving through your day, share it with someone who might need that same shift.

Are you eating clean, working out consistently, and still gaining weight — especially around your middle? You're not broken, lazy, or imagining things. Your metabolism is inflamed.In this solo episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta breaks down the real science behind midlife weight gain and why the tired advice to "eat less and move more" can actually make things worse.Backed by a landmark January 2026 study from UT Southwestern — which identified the molecular switch that triggers uncontrolled inflammation in obesity — Dr. Shivani explains why chronic inflammation causes insulin resistance, belly fat storage, and a feedback loop that's nearly impossible to break through willpower alone.She shares the story of her own unexplained weight gain at 37, and how client Lisa — a dedicated runner — lost 15 pounds in 3 months not by restricting more, but by calming her nervous system and reducing inflammation.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN• Why chronic inflammation blocks insulin signaling and shifts your body into fat-storage mode• The NLRP3 inflammasome feedback loop: how obesity, inflammation & insulin resistance reinforce each other• Why intense daily workouts can backfire when cortisol is already elevated• The Vata-pacifying diet and why cold raw foods may be sabotaging your metabolism• A 4-step framework to calm inflammation and support metabolic flexibility• Why curcumin works on 30+ inflammatory pathways — and why that matters more than fish oilRESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Code (book)https://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas Supplements (use code CODE15 for a 15% Off your first order)https://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/Work with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery Callhttps://shivanigupta.com/CONNECT WITH DR.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nicole Rothman, a functional medicine practitioner known for her whole-body approach to women’s health. We explore a refreshing, empowering message: menopause isn’t a cliff and HRT isn’t the only path.We talk about being pro-aging (not anti-aging), why some women don’t tolerate hormones well, and how detox, inflammation, stress physiology, and cellular health can shape your perimenopause and menopause experience.This conversation aligns deeply with our beliefs at The Inflammation Code:The Body Speaks—Learn to Listen. Integration Over Extremes. Ritual Heals. Your Body Is Not Broken. Natural Is Powerful—When Done Right.In this conversation, we cover:* Why midlife symptoms are often a “bucket overload” (stress + toxins + inflammation)* Detox as a foundation: drainage, lymph, heavy metals, mold, and modern toxic burden* Cortisol + progesterone: how chronic “go-go-go” life impacts hormones* Why hormones sometimes don’t “work” (and what may be happening at the cellular level)* Pro-aging wisdom: reframing menopause as a powerful neurological and biological shift* Why personalized testing + mentorship matters (because you’re bio-individual)If you’ve been doing all the right things but still don’t feel like yourself, this episode will help you connect the dots and build a more sustainable path forward.Connect with Dr. Nicole Rothman:* Website: https://drnicole.com* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drnicolerothman/* Book: Awaken Wellness (Amazon)Links + Resources mentionedLearn more about The Inflammation Code: https://theinflammationcode.com Take the Dosha Quiz: https://shivanigupta.com 7-Day Inflammation Detox: https://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/ This episode is sponsored by Fusionary Formulas - Ayurvedic supplements designed to reduce inflammation, support sleep, and restore balance. Shop at: https://fusionaryformulas.com Use code CODE15 for 15% off your first order.

You wake up with a flat stomach… but by the end of the day, you feel bloated, uncomfortable, and wondering what went wrong.If you’ve tried eliminating foods, taking probiotics, or “eating clean” and the bloating still shows up, your body may be sending you a deeper signal.In this solo episode of The Inflammation Code Podcast, Dr. Shivani Gupta explores why bloating is often one of the earliest warning signs of gut inflammation and how digestive imbalance can quietly affect your energy, hormones, mood, and immune system.Blending Ayurvedic wisdom with modern gut science, she explains why so many women over 35 experience bloating alongside fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and hormone shifts and why addressing the root cause of gut dysfunction can transform your entire health.Rather than chasing symptoms, this episode helps you understand what your body is actually communicating through bloating and how to begin restoring digestive balance.In This Episode, You'll Learn• Why bloating is often the first visible sign of gut inflammation, not just a reaction to food• How 70% of your immune system lives in your gut and why that matters for chronic inflammation• The Ayurvedic concept of Agni (digestive fire) and how weak digestion leads to toxin buildup (Ama)• How chronic stress, blood sugar instability, and microbiome imbalance silently damage the gut lining• The key differences between Vata, Pitta, and Kapha bloating patterns and why your constitution matters• Simple Ayurvedic daily practices that help reduce bloating and support healthy digestion• Why probiotics alone often don’t work and what your gut actually needs to healMany women spend years believing their digestion is broken or that their symptoms are random.But your body is incredibly intelligent.When you understand the deeper connection between your gut, inflammation, stress, and daily rhythms, healing becomes simpler — and much more empowering.Your bloating isn’t just a digestive inconvenience.It’s a message from your body asking you to listen.Links + Resources Mentioned• Learn more about The Inflammation Codehttps://theinflammationcode.com• Take the Dosha Quizhttps://shivanigupta.com• This episode is sponsored by Fusionary Formulas — Ayurvedic supplements designed to reduce inflammation, support sleep, and restore balance.Shop at: https://fusionaryformulas.comUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first order.

In this episode of The Inflammation Code, Dr. Shivani Gupta sits down with Dr. Sonya Jensen, naturopathic doctor and women’s health expert, to explore the deeper roots of hormonal imbalance through the lens of identity, boundaries, nervous system regulation, and relational stress.Dr. Jensen shares how many women experience hormone symptoms as “hormonal chaos,” but what’s often happening underneath is emotional overload, unprocessed grief, and a lifetime of roles that no longer fit. Her upcoming book Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself introduces her HER method, helping women reconnect to self-trust, clarity, and balance without treating symptoms in isolation.What you’ll learn:*Why women often say “I don’t feel like myself” (and what that signals)*How estrogen/progesterone shifts can amplify anxiety, irritability, and resentment*Why gut/liver/lymph support matters for hormone clearance*The connection between boundaries, values, and hormonal stability*How simple daily rituals restore safety in the body and soften burnoutConnect with Dr. Sonya JensenBook: https://healyourhormonesbook.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsonyajensen/Links + Resources mentioned• Learn more about The Inflammation Code: https://theinflammationcode.com• Take the Dosha Quiz: https://shivanigupta.com• 7-Day Inflammation Detox: https://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/• Sponsored by Fusionary Formulas: https://fusionaryformulas.com(code CODE15)

In this solo episode of The Inflammation Code, I introduce a powerful metaphor that can completely shift how you see your health: the iceberg effect.Most of what we experience — joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, bloating, anxiety, stubborn weight gain — is just the tip of the iceberg.What lies beneath the surface? Chronic, systemic inflammation.In this episode, we go below the waterline and explore why treating symptoms alone rarely creates lasting healing — and how understanding root cause inflammation can change the trajectory of your health.This conversation reflects the core beliefs of this podcast:The Body Speaks — Learn to Listen.Integration Over Extremes.Your Body Is Not Broken — Just Out of Balance.In this episode, we explore:Why symptoms are signals — not separate problemsHow chronic inflammation becomes your body’s new baselineThe gut-inflammation connection (and what “leaky gut” really means)How cortisol, poor sleep, and stress fuel the inflammatory loopWhy suppressing inflammation isn’t the same as resolving itHow Ayurveda and functional medicine approach true root cause healingThe power of daily rhythm, circadian alignment, and constitution-based careYou’ll also hear a real client story that illustrates how seven “separate” diagnoses were actually one underlying issue — and how addressing inflammation transformed everything.If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” but you don’t feel normal — this episode is for you.Because once you see the full iceberg, you can’t unsee it.And that’s when real healing begins.Links + Resources mentioned• Learn more about The Inflammation Code: https://theinflammationcode.com• Take the Dosha Quiz: https://shivanigupta.com• 7-Day Inflammation Detox: https://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/• This episode is sponsored by Fusionary Formulas - Ayurvedic supplements designed to reduce inflammation, support sleep, and restore balance.Shop at: https://fusionaryformulas.comUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first order.

Have you ever slept 7–9 hours… and still woken up bone-tired—like there’s a weight on your chest and your energy is gone before the day even starts?In this solo episode, I break down the kind of exhaustion that doesn’t resolve with more rest—because it’s often not a sleep problem.

Perimenopause and menopause don’t mean your body is “failing”—they’re often your body asking for a new kind of support.In this episode, I’m joined by two trusted South Florida wellness leaders: Rebecca Kastin (functional nutrition + mind-body eating coach) and Heather Marcus Berg (yoga + meditation + Buteyko breathwork instructor).

Today is a celebration—The Inflammation Code is officially out. In this special “flip-the-script” episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta’s mentor and friend Kiran Krishnan interviews her about the book, the science behind turmeric and inflammation, and the deeper Ayurvedic framework that makes healing feel personal and doable. Together they explore elemental design (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), the role of circadian rhythm, why stress creates mental inflammation, and how small daily choices build real resilience over time.Key TakeawaysTurmeric can be powerful, but form + absorption + lifestyle context matter.Your healing plan isn’t one-size-fits-all—your elemental design changes how you eat, rest, and recover.Circadian rhythm isn’t a trend—alignment with nature supports repair and inflammation clearance.Chronic stress can become “mental inflammation,” lowering resilience and disrupting gut/immune balance.The goal isn’t perfection—it’s rhythm, consistency, and safety in the body.Links & Resources MentionedLearn more about the book: www.theinflammationcode.comDr. Shivani Gupta: www.shivanigupta.comFollow Kiran Krishnan on IG: @KiranBioMe  Gentle Listener InvitationIf you’re someone who’s tried “everything” and still feels inflamed or stuck, this episode is an invitation to come back to the basics—through a personalized lens. Consider listening with a notebook nearby and choosing one small ritual to start with this week.

Welcome to the next chapter. In this first episode of The Inflammation Code, Dr. Shivani Gupta shares why the podcast is evolving from Fusionary Health into a focused space for decoding inflammation as a message, not a malfunction. You’ll learn why “more information” isn’t the answer when you feel off, how symptoms often share a common thread, and why healing works best through small, steady rituals that create safety in the body—where real change can finally begin.Key TakeawaysYour body is not broken. It’s adapting and communicating.When you shift from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What am I responding to?” healing gets clearer.Healing isn’t an event—it’s a process, and more specifically, a rhythm.Consistency creates safety. Safety allows your systems to soften.You’re not late, and you’re not failing—you’re learning a new language.This is for you if you’ve ever felt like something was off—even when you were told everything looked fine. If you’re thoughtful, curious, and tired of guessing… you’re in the right place.Your body has been communicating with you this whole time. This podcast is here to help you understand what it’s been saying—one small, daily ritual at a time.ResourcesThe Inflammation Code (book) — Dr. Gupta recommends reading and applying the principles throughout the year as the podcast expands on the book’s wisdom.

For decades, women have been told to push through midlife symptoms quietly—sleep less, eat less, exercise more, complain less. But the reality is far more complex, and far more biological. Menopause isn’t a breakdown. It’s a system-wide recalibration that medicine has failed to fully explain or support.On this episode of the Fusionary Health Podcast, Dr. Shivani Gupta is joined by Dr. Fiona Lovely, a pioneer in menopause education and one of the first clinicians to publicly center women’s midlife health. With over 20 years of clinical experience spanning musculoskeletal health, restorative endocrinology, functional neurology, and functional medicine, Dr. Lovely has helped reshape how menopause is understood. She’s the founder of the Menopause Doula Society and the long-running podcast Not Your Mother’s Menopause, launched in 2015.Together, they unpack the real physiological shifts of perimenopause and menopause from brain rewiring and hormonal volatility to joint pain, metabolic changes, bladder health, and the critical role of estrogen. This conversation offers clarity, validation, and a roadmap for women who refuse to be dismissed during one of the most powerful transitions of their lives.Key Highlights• Why menopause is a neurological, hormonal, and metabolic recalibration• The overlooked musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause and why joint pain spikes• How estrogen loss affects brain health, heart health, and bladder function• Why women are wrongly blamed for midlife weight gain and cholesterol changes• The truth about HRT, topical estrogen, and progesterone timing• How menopause doulas and self-advocacy are changing women’s healthcareWhy You Should Watch This episode empowers women with science-backed understanding of menopause, helping them recognize real physiological shifts, challenge outdated medical narratives, and advocate confidently for hormone, brain, joint, and metabolic support during midlife.🎧 Listen now.

Welcome to Fusionary Health with Dr. Shivani Gupta. In this solo master-class she reveals the hidden epidemic she calls mental inflammation—a chronic, low-grade tension that rewires the nervous system even when your labs look “normal.” You’ll hear how relentless pings, deadlines, and social-media comparison keep the HPA axis locked in overdrive, how elevated cortisol erodes the gut lining and sparks systemic inflammation, and why a sluggish vagus nerve blocks true recovery.Drawing on modern research and timeless Ayurveda, Dr. Shivani explains why mental inflammation shows up as fatigue, brain fog, IBS, insomnia, mood swings, and stubborn weight-gain. She outlines a practical antidote: rhythmic breathwork, phone-free nature walks, a “tea-time-is-me-time” ritual, consistent circadian scheduling, and earth-grounding pauses—micro habits that signal safety to the body and cool the inflammatory cascade.Along the way she offers a sneak peek at her forthcoming Hay House × Penguin Random House book The Inflammation Code (publishing 3 Feb 2026), shares a raw account of managing her own burnout while finishing the manuscript, and invites listeners to preorder the book, download a free vagus-toning breath guide, and explore her line of functional Ayurvedic teas.
