Dr. Ekta Gupta — BAMS, AYUSH-Registered Ayurveda Doctor

Every Yeti Life article is reviewed for medical accuracy by Dr. Gupta. She reads the PubMed citations, checks the dose claims, and flags any line that does not match clinical reality.

Clinical Practice Focus

Dr. Gupta runs a private Ayurveda clinic in South Delhi. Her practice has trained at three major Ayurveda hospitals across India: All India Institute of Ayurveda in Delhi, Kerala Ayurveda Mission in Thrissur, and BHU's Banaras Ayurveda Centre.

Her main clinical interests are chronic fatigue syndromes, PCOS hormone management, and men's wellness in urban Indian populations. She has prescribed shilajit-based protocols to over 2,500 patients during her career.

Why She Reviews Yeti Life Content

The Indian shilajit market is full of false claims. Many websites copy text from each other. Some quote fake studies. Some quote real studies but misread them.

Dr. Gupta's role is to stop this on Yeti Life. She reviews every PubMed citation. She checks every dose claim. She flags any line that does not match clinical reality.

Her review is independent — she is not paid per article and has the authority to block any piece that fails her standard. Yeti Life's editorial team has rewritten or shelved many articles based on her flags.

Her Clinical Use of Shilajit

Dr. Gupta uses shilajit-based protocols in four common clinical scenarios:

1. Iron-deficiency anaemia in young women500mg daily with iron-rich diet. Reference: Velmurugan 2012 [Cohort].
2. Chronic fatigue in men over 40500mg daily with milk. Reference: Pandit 2016 (Andrologia) [RCT].
3. Stress-related infertility500mg daily. Pair with ashwagandha. Reference: Pandit 2012 [RCT].
4. Cognitive support in students and seniors250-500mg with brahmi. Reference: Carrasco-Gallardo 2012 [Mechanistic].

Who Should NOT Take Shilajit

Dr. Gupta lists these contraindications clearly:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women. No safety data exists for these groups.
• Children under 14. Growing bodies do not need extra herbal mineral supplementation.
• Patients on lithium for bipolar disorder. Possible interaction with lithium clearance.
• Iron-overload disorders. Haemochromatosis or transfusion-dependent thalassaemia.
• Active gout or very high uric acid. Iron content can raise uric acid.
• Patients on warfarin or other blood thinners. Talk to cardiologist first.
