Ep .123 - Mental Inflammation: The Silent Fire Behind Burnout, Brain Fog & Gut Trouble
Welcome to Fusionary Health with Dr. Shivani Gupta. In this solo master-class she reveals the hidden epidemic she calls mental inflammation—a chronic, low-grade tension that rewires the nervous system even when your labs look “normal.” You’ll hear how relentless pings, deadlines, and social-media comparison keep the HPA axis locked in overdrive, how elevated cortisol erodes the gut lining and sparks systemic inflammation, and why a sluggish vagus nerve blocks true recovery.Drawing on modern research and timeless Ayurveda, Dr. Shivani explains why mental inflammation shows up as fatigue, brain fog, IBS, insomnia, mood swings, and stubborn weight-gain. She outlines a practical antidote: rhythmic breathwork, phone-free nature walks, a “tea-time-is-me-time” ritual, consistent circadian scheduling, and earth-grounding pauses—micro habits that signal safety to the body and cool the inflammatory cascade.Along the way she offers a sneak peek at her forthcoming Hay House × Penguin Random House book The Inflammation Code (publishing 3 Feb 2026), shares a raw account of managing her own burnout while finishing the manuscript, and invites listeners to preorder the book, download a free vagus-toning breath guide, and explore her line of functional Ayurvedic teas. Press play, breathe deeply, and learn how to reset your mind–body circuitry one small moment at a time.
