Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Neurology with Dr. Trupti Gokani


Listen Later

"Sometimes life directs you somewhere you didn't plan on going, and you realize everything happens for a reason." - Dr. Trupti Gokani


I was absolutely fascinated by my conversation with Dr. Trupti Gokani, an award-winning neurologist who has brilliantly bridged Western medicine with ancient Ayurvedic wisdom. Her journey began during her first year of medical school when debilitating insomnia led her to discover Ayurveda after conventional medicine failed her. What's remarkable is how she's developed a three-brain optimization approach (head, gut, and microbiome) that addresses the root causes of chronic conditions instead of just managing symptoms. We explored the three Ayurvedic body types—Vata (air/space), Pitta (fire/water), and Kapha (earth/water)—and how understanding your unique constitution can transform your approach to diet, stress, and health challenges. This conversation offers powerful insights for women feeling disconnected from their bodies or struggling with stress-related conditions like migraines, digestive issues, or autoimmune disorders.

 

What you’ll learn:

  • How Dr. Gokani discovered Ayurvedic medicine after conventional approaches failed to help her insomnia
  • The three Ayurvedic body types (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and how to identify yours
  • Why understanding your constitution is foundational to personalized health
  • How chronic stress manifests differently based on your body type
  • The connection between gut health, emotions, and neurological symptoms
  • Simple Ayurvedic techniques that can complement modern medical treatments
  • How choosing the right foods for your type can significantly improve symptoms
