The Vata Syndrome of Menopause: The Root Cause No One Named| Dr. Shivani Gupta
What if your joint pain, your sleepless nights, your stubborn belly weight, and your 3am anxiety were never ten separate problems? In this solo episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta names the root condition underneath nearly all of it: the Vata Syndrome of Menopause.Drawing on 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic texts alongside modern menopause research, she explains why estrogen functions as your body's "anti-vata" hormone, why hot flashes are actually a wind problem rather than a fire problem, and why some women glide through this transition while others crash.In this episode:Why Western medicine has named a syndrome for the pelvis, the bones, and the brain in menopause, but never for the root connecting themThe real mechanism behind unpredictable hot flashesWhy progesterone often disappears before estrogen, and what that means for early anxiety and sleep disruptionHow thyroid, adrenal, and gut health form a "team" that determines the severity of your transitionWhat ojas (vital reserve) means, and why it decides whether you crash or glideFree, practical Ayurvedic practices that directly ground this shift, starting todayRESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Codehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas SupplementsUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first orderhttps://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/Work with Dr. Shivani / Free Discovery Callhttps://shivanigupta.com/Free Elemental Design Quizhttps://drshivani.com/CONNECT WITH DR.
