In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams interviews Dr. Shivani Gupta, an Ayurveda specialist, about holistic health, aging, and the power of ancient wisdom in modern wellness. Dr. Shivani shares her personal health journey, starting from childhood sickness and her discovery of Ayurveda during a trip to India, which transformed her understanding of wellness. After years of chronic illness and overuse of antibiotics, she embraced Ayurveda’s holistic approach to gut health, detoxification, and inflammation management, becoming an expert in this field.
Dr. Shivani highlights how Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system from India, helped her heal her gut and strengthen her immune system. She emphasizes that gut health, or "Agni" (digestive fire), is central to overall well-being, influencing everything from mental health to immune response. She also discusses her focus on turmeric, having done her PhD on its benefits, particularly for inflammation reduction.
Both Brad and Dr. Shivani express frustration with the limitations of Western medicine in addressing chronic issues and advocate for blending Eastern and Western approaches. Brad shares his own experiences of healing his body through listening to its needs and addressing his leaky gut. They both agree that while Western medicine excels in acute care, Ayurveda and holistic practices offer long-term solutions for chronic conditions, particularly as we age.
The conversation emphasizes the importance of regular detoxing, gut health maintenance, and using natural solutions for long-term vitality, especially for those over 40 facing new health challenges.
