Dr. Gupta's bio:

As a busy wife and mother of two, Dr. Gupta understands the challenges modern women face when it comes to putting their health and wellbeing first. Unfortunately for many women self-care has become a dirty word and yet another unrealistic expectation on our never-ending to-do list.

Dr. Gupta created her revolutionary Modern Ayurveda program and Fusionary Formulas to fuse east and west practices for self-care, digestion, stress reduction and metabolism. Her goal is to ensure no more women sacrifice their health for the life they deserve.

Success and self-care go hand in hand. The more you care for yourself, the happier you will be and less likely to reach for things that aren’t good for you. Self-care doesn’t need to be one more thing you add to your to-do list. Finding a few extra minutes each day can have a profound impact on health.

She is dedicated to sharing the healing properties of Ayurveda and bridging the gap between our hectic modern lives and applications of conscious living. As a renowned Ayuvedic leader her speaking topics range from organic pregnancy to the influence of Ayurveda on western medicine. Dr. Gupta’s previous speaking engagements include over 50 physician conferences, educational events and women’s symposiums across the U.S.

Chronic pain does not need to be something we "just live with". There are healthy alternative ways to reduce and even remove chronic pain and Dr, Afton Hassett talks about how in this episode.

Please share this episode around and make sure to rate/review, I will be forever grateful!

In this episode Dr. Afton talks about

• Her background and why she got into working with clients with chronic pain
• What is chronic pain, the different kinds and the causes
• How the mind plays a role in chronic pain
• How what we love to do will help with chronic pain
• Other alternative methods/strategies to remove chronic pain

And so much more…

Dr. Hassett's bio:

Dr. Afton L. Hassett is an Associate Professor and Director of Pain and Opioid Research in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Michigan. She is a principal investigator at the Chronic Pain & Fatigue Research Center who has over $14M of research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Viewed as a leader in the field of chronic pain and resilience, she recently gave the Keynote address at the 2023 Pain Consortium Symposium on Advances in Pain Research for the NIH. While studying established treatments for chronic pain and developing new approaches is her passion, her frustration is that exciting research discoveries rarely make it to the people who could benefit the most. Thus, Afton’s mission was to write Chronic Pain Reset to bring evidence-based strategies from research and academic medical settings directly to people who live with chronic pain with the hope that they will gain new tools to lead more rewarding lives with less pain.
