Ayurvedic Approach to Menopause and Maintaining Vibrant Health
In this enriching discussion, I learn about the world of Ayurveda medicine and its applications with Dr. Shivani Gupta, an expert in the field.
Dr. Shivani shares her health journey which led her to study Ayurveda formally.
Having uncovered the amazing power of Turmeric she was inspired to take a deeper dive and her Ph.D. studies focussed on turmeric to battle inflammation.
Learn all about the three body types or 'dosha' and how understanding these can aid in managing our health.
We tackle the suitability of different nutritional approaches, emphasising the importance of gut health and the need for detoxification.
Dr. Shivani also underlines the crucial roles of sleep, spices, adaptogens, and certain lifestyle habits to manage inflammation and enhance overall health.
Learn more about her top three health tips: Walking in nature, taking turmeric, and using a copper tongue scraper.
