Why Summer Quietly Increases Your Inflammation with Dr. Shivani Gupta

June 30, 2026 · 20 min

Show notes

Summer can quietly dismantle the health routine you worked so hard to build. Travel, heat, later nights, celebrations, and disrupted rhythms all ask more of your body than regular life does.

In this solo episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta explains why summer can increase inflammation through the Ayurvedic lens of Pitta season and Vata disruption from travel. She shares the three priorities that help protect your practice through the season: cooling, grounding, and protection.

You’ll also learn Dr. Shivani’s “minimum viable practice,” a simple morning and evening rhythm that keeps your anti-inflammatory routine intact even when your full ritual falls apart.

This episode is not about perfection. It is about protecting what you have been building and investing in the woman you are becoming.
