The Better Life with Dr. Pinkston

Unleashing the inner Warrior w/ Rebecca Fitzsimmons

In this insightful episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, a board-certified interventional cardiologist who transitioned from emergency heart procedures to the world of functional and integrative medicine. Dr. Bhojraj shares his "origin story," explaining how a decade of performing "oil changes" on the heart led him to realize that conventional medicine was missing the most critical part of the equation: the mental, emotional, and spiritual lifestyle factors that drive chronic disease.

The conversation dives deep into the "lost 20 years" where metabolic issues brew silently before a cardiac event occurs. Dr. Bhojraj introduces his Well12 program, a science-based approach to reversing insulin resistance and inflammation through light optimization, sleep, and whole-food nutrition. They also tackle the modern craze of GLP-1 medications, discussing how to use them as a "slingshot rather than a crutch" by prioritizing muscle preservation and long-term lifestyle shifts.

From Stents to Sustainability with Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj

In this episode, Dr. Pinkston sits down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, an Ayurvedic expert with a PhD in Turmeric and author of The Inflammation Code. They explore the bridge between Eastern wisdom and Western medicine, detailing how to reverse the "negative stack" of modern life—stress, blue light, and processed foods—through simple, nature-aligned rituals.

Episode Highlights


The Two Worlds of Healing: Dr. Gupta discusses growing up between Houston's conventional pediatrics and her grandmother’s Indian spice cabinet, eventually leading her to a PhD quest to validate ancient remedies with modern science.


The Six Pillars of Ayurveda: Insights into Elemental Design (Air, Ether, Fire, Water, Earth) and how understanding your specific type helps you build a lifestyle that wins against inflammation.


Mental vs. Physical Inflammation: A breakdown of how chronic stress and "mental inflammation" create a feedback loop that damages the gut and dysregulates hormones.


The Power of Turmeric & Curcumin: Why your kitchen spice isn't enough to fight chronic pain and how specific extracts (curcuminoids) act as the "ultimate janitor" for your cells.


Vagus Nerve Toning: Discussion on the Apollo Neuro and other biohacking tools that help transition the body from "survival mode" (sympathetic) to "healing mode" (parasympathetic).

The Inflammation Code with Dr. Shivani Gupta

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes Brett Aldrich, founder of Seed the Spirit, for a deep dive into the 5,000-year-old science of Ayurvedic medicine. As an Ayurvedic healthcare counselor and somatic breathwork teacher, Brett shares how we can move beyond the "corporate model" of contemporary medicine to find a personalized path toward true wellness.

The conversation explores how the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—make up our unique constitutions and how "doshas" (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) influence everything from our physical health to our emotional temperament. Brett explains that while the world around us may feel chaotic, Ayurveda provides the tools to remain centered and "whole" within that chaos.
