Dr. Rupy and Mona Sharma discuss why burnout isn't solved by doing less, but by living in rhythm with your body. They explore how an anti-inflammatory diet and herbs and spices can reduce inflammation and help you recover.
What is an anti inflammatory diet?
We live in a world where a lot of these foods, they're being marketed as healthy or gluten free or they're hitting one of the trends around keto or paleo and stuff like that. But what you're describing is really the antithesis of that.
The inflammation lowering potential of food is most in herbs and spices because they are super concentrated in phytonutrients, things like clove and cinnamon and turmeric. But even the sort of like basic culinary herbs like oregano and basil and sorrel, those basic green herbs are just as impressive as some of the more exotic ones. So you don't always need to have cardamon. And even though like I'm sure me and you both love those, you, you can lean into like simple herbs and spices that you're more accustomed to, whether it's fennel or cumin or black pepper, rosemary and.
I were to put the ancient wisdom lens on it, the foods that you're describing have life force to them. There's this like energetic prana to them which is so important.
