The Dr. Nirvana Podcast

What if some of the foods you think are harmless, or even healthy, are quietly contributing to chronic inflammation?

In this episode, I’m breaking down three common food categories that may be driving inflammation in your body, plus what to eat more of to support your gut, blood sugar, and a healthier inflammatory response.

Listen before your next grocery trip, you may look at a few familiar foods very differently.

What if your insulin resistance isn’t simply because you’re eating too many carbs?

In this episode, I’m breaking down what may actually be driving insulin resistance, why cutting carbohydrates isn’t automatically the right answer for everyone, and how your body’s response can depend on factors like meal composition, stress, sleep, muscle mass, and even the time of day you eat.

I’ll also explain why some people feel better with fewer carbohydrates while others do better with a balanced combination of carbs, protein, and healthy fats, and how your circadian rhythm can directly influence insulin sensitivity.

Because if you’re only focusing on carbs, you may be missing a much bigger part of the metabolic picture.

I’m breaking down the clinical clues I pay attention to when someone struggles with migraines and why certain vitamins, thyroid function, blood sugar, hormones, and gut health may all play a role depending on the person. 

I’ll also talk about why the timing of your migraines matters. If your headaches changed around the same time as your digestion, menstrual cycle, energy, thyroid symptoms, or other changes in your health, those patterns may offer important clues.

And if you’ve been experiencing symptoms that seem completely unrelated to your migraines, your gut may be part of the bigger picture. My 2-Minute Gut Health Check can help you identify whether your digestion could be contributing to more of what you’re feeling than you realize.

This episode will help you think differently about migraines and understand which questions may be worth asking next.

Most women know about hot flashes and irregular periods, but there are 3 perimenopause symptoms that almost never get talked about, and they could explain a lot of what you've been experiencing lately.

In this episdoe, I'm covering 3 perimenopause signs no one warns you about. These aren't random. They're all connected to the estrogen fluctuations happening in your body during the perimenopause transition and most conventional doctors never connect the dots.

If you have Hashimoto’s but still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or like your body just isn’t functioning the way it should, your thyroid may only be part of the story.

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition, which means the real question isn’t just, “What is my TSH?” It’s also: What may be keeping my immune system activated in the first place?

In this episode, I uncover the warning signs your body may be sending, why treating the thyroid alone can leave important pieces unanswered, and the often-overlooked connections.

And make sure you listen to the end, because one hidden trigger may be helping keep the autoimmune response going.

Have you been dealing with symptoms that seem completely unrelated? Your gut may be the missing piece. I created this quick 2 Minute Gut Health Check to help you see whether your digestion could actually be driving more of what you’re feeling than you realize.

If you haven't changed how you eat or move but your body feels completely different since perimenopause started, this video is for you.

Staying lean in perimenopause isn't about restriction or spending more time at the gym. It's about 3 specific daily habits that work with your hormones instead of against them. And none of them are what you'd expect.

In this video I'm covering the morning habit that resets your cortisol rhythm, why eating after sunset is quietly driving perimenopausal weight gain, and how eating for your blood type can change everything about how your body responds to food with real patient examples from my practice.

I'm Dr. Nirvana, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with 20 years of clinical experience specializing in women's hormones, perimenopause, and root cause medicine.

If you keep getting vaginal yeast infections, treating the yeast may only be part of the solution. 

Why do some women get one infection and never have another, while others seem to struggle with them over and over again? 

In this episode, I explain what may be creating an environment that allows Candida to keep returning, including changes in the vaginal microbiome, hormones, blood sugar, gut health, medications, and immune function. 

If your yeast infections keep coming back despite treatment, this will help you understand what your body may be trying to tell you and what needs to be considered beyond simply getting rid of the yeast.
