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 Takeaways

• Turmeric 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.
