The Inflammation Code: Healing Burnout, Mold, and the Hidden Fire Within
Manage episode 519913036 series 2661163
Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I’m joined by the luminous Dr. Shivani Gupta, founder of Fusionary Formulas and author of The Inflammation Code. Shivani’s story begins with a home full of mold, hair loss, and a reminder that even the healthiest among us can get blindsided by hidden toxins. What followed was a journey of deep functional medicine testing, emotional regulation, and fierce self-advocacy—proof that healing is never linear.
We talk about the real root of “inflamma-aging,” why brain fog and fatigue are not normal, and how inflammation is at the center of most chronic disease. Shivani breaks down the six Ayurvedic pillars of anti-inflammatory living, the importance of circadian alignment (especially the 10–2 window), and why tea time is more than self-care—it’s medicine.
From tongue scraping and turmeric to sleep hygiene and self-awareness, this episode is full of accessible practices that bring ancient rituals into modern life. Whether you’re battling burnout, navigating hormonal chaos, or simply ready to feel more alive, Shivani’s wisdom will help you rewrite your own inflammation code.
