#237 Dr. Shivani Gupta — On Ayurveda Meets Modern Science: Inflammation, Gut Health, Circadian Rhythm & Personalized Longevity
04/2/2026 | 54 mins.
Inflammation may feel like a modern problem — but Ayurveda understood it over 5,000 years ago. In this deeply grounding episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner, researcher, and author of The Inflammation Code, reveals how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom is finally being validated by modern science. From circadian rhythm and gut health to nervous system regulation and women’s hormones, Dr. Shivani explains why so many of us are chronically inflamed — and how simple daily rituals can restore balance, energy, and longevity. We explore why inflammation, not aging, is driving fatigue, brain fog, hormonal chaos, and perimenopause symptoms, how “mental inflammation” manifests in the body, and why turmeric and other adaptogenic herbs remain some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory tools available. We explore: Why inflammation is the real root of chronic disease Vata, Pitta & Kapha — and how personalization really works Gut-brain connection through an Ayurvedic lens Mental inflammation, stress & nervous system overload How rhythm, sleep, food & ritual restore vitality This is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t require more force — it requires alignment.

28/1/2026 | 49 mins.
What if stress wasn’t your enemy—but your greatest teacher?

Drawing from his own journey—from entrepreneurial burnout to nervous system sovereignty—Salim explains why learning to regulate stress is no longer optional in modern life. We explore How childhood patterns shape adult reactions Why you can’t think your way out of overwhelm How practices like breathwork, sleep, reframing, and community can transform both health and performance.

#235 Dr. Kelly Starrett - On Building a Durable Body for Life, Pain-Free Longevity, Mobility, Sleep & the Power of Daily Movement
23/1/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
What if pain isn’t a sign of damage — but a signal for change? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Kelly Starrett, world-renowned coach, physical therapist, and co-founder of The Ready State, breaks down what actually keeps the human body healthy, mobile, and resilient across a lifetime. From movement and sleep to nervous system safety and social connection, Kelly explains why most people are chasing optimization while ignoring the fundamentals that truly matter. We explore why sitting is quietly destroying mobility, how the brain interprets pain as threat, why movement signals safety to the nervous system, and how small daily habits — like walking, sitting on the floor, breathing, and sleeping consistently — compound into extraordinary long-term health.
We explore: Why pain is information, not damage How mobility restores nervous system safety The overlooked role of sleep, walking & play Why adherence matters more than intensity How to build a body that supports adventure, not fear
This episode is a return to basics — and a reminder that longevity isn’t about doing more, but doing what matters, consistently. This Episode was brought to you by: CAROL Bike

#234 Emotional Biohacking, Brain DNA & Rewiring Stress for Longevity With Dr. Alok Trivedi (Dr. Rewire)
14/1/2026 | 45 mins.
What if your stress responses, emotional patterns, and even motivation weren’t flaws to fix but signals to understand? In this powerful episode, Dr. Rewire (Dr. Alok Trivedi) reveals how emotional biohacking and brain DNA insights can transform the way we relate to stress, performance, and ourselves. Drawing on nearly three decades of clinical experience, Dr. Rewire explains why emotions are data, not directives and how rewiring the nervous system can unlock peace of mind, resilience, and longevity. We explore how personalised brain DNA patterns influence motivation, stress tolerance, recovery, and relationships and why one-size-fits-all biohacking often backfires. This conversation reframes mental health from “fixing what’s broken” to understanding how the brain is designed to protect us and how to work with it instead of against it. We explore: Emotional biohacking and nervous system regulation Brain DNA, neurotransmitters & neuroflexibility Why stress, anxiety & burnout are adaptive signals Personalised approaches to mindset, health & longevity How to rewire emotions for clarity, balance & peace of mind
This is a grounded, empowering conversation that invites you to know yourself — scientifically and live in alignment with your unique design.

#233 The Science of Hunger: GLP-1, Appetite Control & Natural Weight Management With Sarah Kennedy
08/1/2026 | 34 mins.
Why does hunger feel so loud — and why does willpower so often fail? In this illuminating episode, Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, unpacks the biology of hunger, the gut-brain axis, and the powerful role of GLP-1 in appetite regulation. Drawing on over 15 years and $30 million of New Zealand government-backed science, Sarah explains why hunger is driven by our most primitive brain systems — and how understanding this biology can finally bring peace with food. We explore how bitter taste receptors in the gut stimulate appetite-suppressing hormones, why dieting can actually increase hunger over time, and how natural GLP-1 activation differs fundamentally from pharmaceutical injections like Ozempic. We explore: The evolutionary biology of hunger and food noise How GLP-1, CCK and PYY regulate appetite Why calorie restriction backfires long-term Natural vs synthetic GLP-1 pathways How appetite regulation supports metabolic health, insulin sensitivity & longevity
This is a science-grounded, compassionate conversation that reframes hunger — not as a personal failure, but as biology you can finally work with. This episode was brought to you by: Calocurb
