Ayurvedic Medicine 101: Eating and sleeping according to your body type — Dr. Shivani Gupta

Understanding your unique constitution could be the missing piece in your health puzzle. Dr. Shivani Gupta, our first Ayurvedic expert on the show, shares how this 5,000-year-old system of medicine can help us navigate modern health challenges by working with our individual nature rather than against it.

After years of chronic illness and monthly antibiotics as a teenager, Dr. Shivani discovered Ayurveda during a healing journey in India. Now she's dedicated her career to bridging ancient wisdom with modern science, earning her PhD in turmeric research and helping thousands find balance through personalized approaches to diet, sleep, and lifestyle.

In this conversation, we explore the fascinating concept of doshas - your individual mind-body constitution based on the five elements. Dr. Shivani breaks down the three main types (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and explains how understanding yours can revolutionize everything from what you eat to when you sleep. We also dive deep into the science behind turmeric, Ayurvedic pregnancy wisdom, and practical daily rituals that can transform your energy and gut health.
