Are you optimizing your diet and gym time but still feeling wired and foggy? Could the hidden culprit be mental inflammation shortening your health span without you even knowing it?

I talked with Dr. Shivani Gupta about mental inflammation. This stress keeps the nervous system in fight or flight. It ruins digestion, sleep, and clarity. We discussed her book, The Inflammation Code. She explains how Ayurvedic medicine offers solutions through rituals and breath work. We cover elemental design and the body types: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Dr. Gupta shares why news and social media inflame the mind. She provides tools like tea time and decompression points to build resilience. We explore the power of spices like turmeric for healing. Her approach focuses on physiology to change how the body manages stress and productivity for longevity.

Key Takeaways

• Mental inflammation is chronic emotional stress that creates low-grade inflammation and depletes your vitality, or OJUS.

• Self-care rituals like setting daily intentions and practicing breath work create a reservoir of peace.

• "Tea time is me time" acts as a physical trigger to shift the body into the parasympathetic nervous system for rest and digestion.

• Aligning with your circadian rhythm is essential; sleeping from 10 PM to 2 AM is the most important window for clearing inflammation.

• Elemental design identifies your specific body template (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) to inform how you should manage your diet and energy.

• Consuming news and social media triggers a fear-based fight or flight state, contributing significantly to mental inflammation.

• For therapeutic benefits, use high volumes of spices (teaspoons, not sprinkles) like turmeric, ginger, and cumin in your cooking.

• When feeling sick, use the Kitchari protocol—a simple porridge that allows the gut to rest so the body can focus on healing.
