How to Use Ancient Wisdom to Improve Menopause

Menopause can feel like a wild ride, but what if ancient Ayurvedic wisdom could make it easier? In this episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta, who holds a Ph.D. in Ayurvedic Sciences, shares some super practical tips on how to adjust what you eat and do based on your Dosha type—whether you're more Vata, Pitta, or Kapha—to feel better during this stage of life. You’ll hear how cooling foods can help with hot flashes for Pitta types or why cozy, warm meals are great for Kapha types. Plus, we explore how Ayurvedic herbs like Shatavari and spices like Turmeric can make a difference in how you feel daily.

We also get into the good stuff about using everyday spices, like Turmeric for fighting inflammation or Ashwagandha to help keep you calm and focused. Dr. Shivani breaks down simple ways to work these into your meals and talks about why things like yoga and following nature’s rhythms can really help you feel more in tune with your body during menopause. If you’ve been feeling out of balance, this episode offers a grounded, holistic approach to reclaiming your vitality and taking control of how you feel with simple, actionable steps.

Memorable Quotes:

"The more I applied ayurvedic wisdom to my life, I healed my gut, built an immune system of steel that I get to enjoy now. I'm fully defended against colds and things that come by. And I also have built this level of vitality in health that I never had before. And so I have this deep gratitude for what's possible when you truly invest in a detoxed, healthy body." — Dr. Shivani Gupta

"What's cool about adaptogens from Ayurveda is if we're stressed and anxious, they calm us down. If we're depressed and having the blues, they lift us up, so they function like this internal thermostat that's going to naturally give us exactly what we need based on the day and time you're dealing with." — Dr. Shivani Gupta
